Review: Awesome Bike Tail Light! - The Cygolite Hot Shot is my favorite bike tail light! I have 3 of them (Cygolite 50, 100 and 150), one on each bike. Likes: versatile--you can run them dim or bright, solid or flashing or solid w/ flash, you can change the flash speed; durable--my oldest is a Cygolite 50 lumen and it's about 7 years old, still takes a charge and lasts a long time (I recharge after every ride); VISABLE--you can see these lights from over 500 feet away in bright daylight and about 1/2 mile away in the dark; durable--keep them charged and they just keep going; multiple ways to mount--seatpost, frame (on seat stays), clip on to seat bag or pocket; lightweight & compact; long running--my longest ride was 12 hours and it was still blinking at the end of the ride; focused light beam doesn't blind the rider in your draft. I can't really think of anything negative to say about the Cygolite Hot Shot. I would avoid the Cygolite Hot Shot over 150 lumens if you ride with other people...even in daylight it can hurt other riders' eyes when they are behind you and at night it will nearly blind them if you don't dim it.
Review: Clips To Bike Bags! Bright, Multiple Settings. Day Use Too. - I liked everything about this lite, but, wanted something brighter. I had originally, two weeks ago, purchased the 200 Lumen taillight in the same brand. But, when it got here, it did not have a true hard clip to attach to my seat bag. So, sadly, I sent that one back. That 200 however, was crazy bright. I loved it. It saddened to me to have to return it. But, I definitely love my seat bag. My new taillight needed to clip to that. Liking that brand so much and the style of the light, I took a chance and ordered the 100. This 100 Lumen Taillight is half the Lumen brightness of the 200, but it still seems extremely bright and has all the same setting features. But today, right after receiving it, I noticed this same company does now have a 200 Lumen WITH a Hard Clip that will attach to my seat bag. So, I returned the unused 100 and have the 200 HARD CLIP on order. Synopsis: Depending on your budget, I don't think you can go wrong with the 100 Lumen for the price. It seems as though it would still be highly visible at night and day. Has the same features. Is easy to use and to clip on. Very visible. For almost $20 more, you can have one twice as bright. Both, however should make day and or night riding safer. For me, price not being a huge factor today, I opted for the brighter light. If I had never had that 200 in the past, I would not have known any difference and would have happily kept the 100.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ One of the brightest lights for the money. Great for my urban commute day or night
*by G***C on October 24, 2019*

Durability: I've had this light for 2 years, commuting to work 1 hour round trip, 2-3 times a week in the city. I don't ride on rainy days, but it's damp more mornings than not in foggy SF. So, this light sees its share of moisture. The battery continues to hold its charge and I've never run out of charge, even when I forget to charge for a week or two. I purchased this light (there are even brighter models out now) because it was rated one of the brightest, reliable taillights for the money, both on reputable review sites, as well as in cyclist forums. It replaced my Planet Bike superflash light, which I thought was bright, but now seems dim in comparison. I use it both in the evening, but also when biking during the day. The combination of brightness and flash make me much more noticeable to cars. I'll wrap the review with a funny anecdote related to its brightness: Riding home in the dark one evening, a fellow bike commuter, in dark clothes, with no helmet and no lights came up to me at a stop light: "dude, did you know your light is too bright? It could blind someone. Maybe you can turn it down"
