_RADBOT 1000
The RADBOT 1000 has one directive: to defend you and your bike from rear collisions. It comes equipped with a precision reflector that conforms to strict EU standards and its blazing red eye contains a 1.0 watt Japanese LED to stare down vehicles. This is the same powerful LED used in the brake lights of new cars!
Also, the RADBOT 1000 makes a mean cup of coffee. Actually that last part isn't true.
*By popular demand, new RADBOTs feature a switch that must be held for 1.5 seconds to turn the light on/off. This prevents the RADBOT from being accidentally turned on in your pocket or bag when not in use.
- 1.0 watt red LED made by nichia brand
- zZz, zZzPOP! and rock steady modes (30 hours runtime flashing/15 steady)
- euro reflector

- 2xaaa batteries (included)
I just got a RADBOT and it won't turn on!
- By popular demand, new RADBOTs feature a switch that must be held for 1.5 seconds to turn the light on/off. This prevents the RADBOT from being accidentally turned on in your pocket or bag when not in use. Hold the button down and it will turn on.
My RADBOT turns itself off as if the batteries are too low but when I turn it back on again it is really bright.
- Your batteries are probably low. The circuit tells the light to turn off when the battery reaches 2.0 volts. When the light is off the voltage ramps back up to 2.1 volts so you are able to turn the light back on but this will only last for a few minutes. Time to change the batteries (2x AAA).
When I try to turn my RADBOT on the LED lights up for a fraction of a second and then turns off.
- Your batteries are REALLY low. Replace them and that should take care of it. If problem persists with new batteries, see next question.
My RADBOT turns off when I hit bumps in the road or just won't turn on at all without squeezing the top of the light together.
- You have a RADBOT from a small batch with bad contacts. Email us and we will take care of it for you.
"I am really excited that PDW has made such a radical departure from their product offerings with this light. I can't wait to see how other companies respond. For now, though, the RADBOT 1000 is king. In fact, we hereby declare the RADBOT 1000 is the best bike accessory for under $40..." -Larry Leveen (Oly Bikes)
"A Portland Design Works x Arthur C. Clarke x Stanley Kubrick collabo right here. The Hal 9000 is too big for your bike, so the ingenious minds at PDW shrunk the circuits down to fit on your seatpost. Unfortunately, in doing so they had to 86 the soft voice of Douglas Rain but don't be too upset because the final product is impressive.... expect to be seen for blocks and maybe the cars will mistake you for one of their own, leaving you alone!" -John Prolly
"It's the brightest damn tail light I've seen to date." -Kent Peterson
