  • Hotshot: Dang right it is!
Style: 2w
I have a boneyard of bicycle tail lights strewn around my garage. I commute year round in Central Oregon, 45 minutes each way. In the winter months, when the sun comes up around 8:30 AM, and goes down by 4:15 PM, that means I'm riding in the dark, coming and going. Though I choose my route carefully, there are a couple of "tight spots" along the way where I really want to be seen. During the last year or so, a variety of truly bright tail lights have come out, visible during daylight hours from quite a distance. The Cygolite Hotshot 2-Watt USB, in my mind, is the best. Is there a noticeable difference between a 2 watt LED and a single watt? My wife, who overtakes me in her car on the way to work, says "YES!". She notes that the Cygolite is easily the brightest tail light I've ever used. What's to like? Easily detachable/attachable. Multiple modes. Very long life on a single charge, well over 24 hours even at the brightest setting. Gotta love the USB rechargeable battery: at the end of my work week, I pop the light off my bike, charge it (2-3 hours), pop it back on, good to go for at least another week. No prying covers off, no batteries to dispose of. What's less to like? If you belong to a group of night riders, you'll have to tone down: this light is obnoxiously bright even to some cars, much less to a fellow rider right behind you. The light intensity, in fairness, is very adjustable. Mode selection is easy, adjusting the intensity of the light took me a bit of practice, and cost me a bit of frustration. I've been using this light for five months. I'm loving its ease of use. I'm loving that it's so bright that cars often give me far more room than I need to feel safe. It's high daytime visibility is a real plus on my recumbent. This item is a winner that has made my half dozen other tail lights obsolete. Job well done, Cygolite. ... show more

  • Brightest rear light- hands down
Style: 2w
I've several rear lights, and I'm kind of an LED light geek. I'm very familiar with lumen & wattage ratings, and this light is by far the brightest taillight on the market- and by far the best value for your money. There are several others such as the Portland Danger Zone which are very good, and if you want replaceable batteries, the DZ is the way to go. But if you want convenience and get tired of using batteries that end up in landfills, the Hotshot is the hot ticket. Don't listen to other reviews about the mounting, they are talking about the seatpost mount, which sucks on every light on the market, not just this one. If you use the clip on the back of the light on your seat post bag, your not going to use the seatpost mount anyway. My only issue is the light is a little omni-directional, but it's sooooo bright, it almost doesn't matter! Everything is rechargeable now, and the internal lithium lasts forever...or at least a heck of a long time. This light is very lightweight, and my concern was that on my high end racing road bike it would be too bulky, not even close- this light is the perfect size, and the light output is incredible for its size. If you ride on busy roads with lots of cars, you must have one of these! I followed a guy during a large organized ride, and I could pick him out of a 50 bike group during the day simply because this light is so easy to see from very far away. There were times where I was 1/2 to a full mile behind, and I couldn't tell if I was getting further or closer to him because the light never seemed to dim. At a full 2 watts, you will be hard pressed to find another light this good for 3-5 times the price. I am a collector of high end bike products, and this one stands proud in my collection. Don't hesitate to buy this light... ... show more

  • Very good light
Style: 2w
I take long bike rides (up to 60 miles) and tour occasionally. I always use bright front and rear flashing lights when I ride. They make me very visible. More than once, they have helped prevent an accident. My rear light started turning itself off while I was riding, and turning itself on while my bike was parked. The old light used AAA batteries. I used Eneloop rechargeables, which gave excellent service. I felt the requirement to disassemble the light frequently to change batteries was one of the reasons the power switch became unreliable over time. I was intrigued by the Cygolite because I can plug it in for charging while the bike is parked. Once mounted to the bike, it can stay there. The issue for me is battery life. Cygolite advertises 4.5 to 500 hours. When I'm on tour, I don't always have access to power. I want to be able to ride 2 or 3 days without recharging. When I got the light, I charged it, then started riding, keeping track of my hours. I did not adjust the OSP feature (which can dim the light) and used the last flash before the steady mode. The battery lasted over 27 hours. That's more than 3 days of riding for me, and it's plenty. The light is well built and appears to be sturdy. It is quite bright and is easily visible in even very bright sunlight. The light remembers the mode setting. This makes it easy to turn on and off. It turns on in the flash mode I like, prevents multiple presses. I like the fact that the charging cable uses the mini USB connector, which is more rugged than the micro connector popular on smart phones. Cygolite advertises the light is rain proof. I haven't been in the rain with this light yet, but the cover for the charging port is finicky and is a weak point. I might come back and update this review at the end of the season. I attach my rear light to a rack. Cygolite does not include a rack mount, but it is available for a very reasonable price from their web site. Their rack mount looks similar to the mount used by Planet Bike and Portland Design Works, but they aren't compatible. If you already have one of the other rack mounts, you will need to buy a new one for the Cygolite. Overall, I am very pleased with this light so far. ... show more
