BAL, Radiantz or Other Tail/Brake Light???

Thinking about changing to an LED type tail/brake light... Probably either the BAL or the Radiantz... The BAL has more features (programmable) and a five year warranty... The Radiantz is $60 cheaper and carries a lifetime warranty...

Anyone with personal experiences with them both good and bad, dependability issues, customer service, etc??? Thanks in advance for the input, advice and opinions...

I have a Heavycycles light with the optional blue dot led that flashes when the brake light is on. It's 10 years old and was on my fxd. I polish it 2x a yearr, still works and looks great.

I have the BAL. Love it. No regrets. It's brighter than your giant blue type.

Does the Radiantz flash before it stays illuminated?

If I understand correctly it flashes maybe three times before going to steady burn...

Bal all the way. Many built in settings including strobe. All activated by waving a magnet by thecorner of the lens. Bright as hell too.

The Radiantz that I got did not flash, but they do have an add-on that does that I added. While the running light is very bright (can't stare at it) the step up to brake light intensity is not as dramatic so you will need the flash add-on.

Radiantz for me, I think they have the best ( to me that means cleanest ) look and they are cheaper.

I did not want any flashing lights. for those asking about the radianz and flashing, I ordered non flashing, I believe it's cheaper that way.
