Effective and long battery life February 28, 2010
F. Hussain (Peoria Ilinois)
This small light is excellent, the two flashing LEDs are plenty bright at night. I use rechargeable AAA's and the batteries easily last for many weeks of continuous use. it also comes with stickers warning of an auto alarm. The only complaint is the stickers have faded in the sunlight so don't look as conspicuous as they originally did.
This inexpensive light does give you plenty of peace of mind. I park my car in many not so great areas of Chicago for several days and have not had to worry too much. I also recommend using a wheel to brake lock, so you had another layer of protection against theft.
Effective and fun! February 10, 2010

It works. Car hasn't been stolen. And we laugh (hard) every time one of us gets in to drive.
Busy little light! October 23, 2009
Lisa R. (Mountain View, CA)
This is a funky little light, very "busy" looking. Not sure if it would fool a master car thief, but might at least make them think twice. After being broken into one too many times, now leave this blinking whenever I park the car.
A rapidly blinking set of lights January 12, 2009

Although it doesn't look like the real car alarm blinking lights that I have or have seen, it is certainly better than nothing. I purchased one for my nephew along with an inexpensive motion alarm. I highly recommend that you get both for a vechicle that has no alarm. It'd probably be more realistic not to place this device in absolute plain sight. While you want the flashing to be visible, you don't want the would be theives to see that the unit is NOT built into your vehicle. My advice is to get one of these to ward off potential theives, but first you should at least get a wireless motion detector. If you can only afford one or the other, get the real alarm first. The "Wireless Motion Sensor Detector Alarm With 2 REMOTE" by MacTop for $14 + $7 shipping is pretty good. One nice thing is that it also has a red LED light that is always on, even when the alarm is not enabled. That is good for letting people know there is some type of electronic security in the vehicle. Best of luck avoiding the theives.
 Works well but could be improved January 5, 2009
J. Barnes (North Carolina)
This product only receives four stars because contrary to what other reviewers have stated, the combination of TWO alternating flashing LED lights does NOT resemble any car alarm light I've ever seen. It has been my experience that most car alarms have a single flashing LED in the center or side of the dashboard - at the top of the dash, where it meets the windshield.
However, by simple virtue of the fact that this product gives the appearance to potential thieves of some sort of of car security system present on the vehicle (though likely not one they've ever seen) it works well as a deterrent. After all, if this product can give thieves even a small amount of doubt about your car's potential to be a target for burglary, it has been successful, and saved you hundreds or thousands of dollars (depending on your insurance deductible and equipment protected/not stolen).
To the manufacturer in China: I would recommend eliminating one of the red lights to make it appear more like a car alarm system.
