The best out there!

It never ceases to amaze me how many people complain about products when they are too lazy to read instructions or visit a company's website. Who would try to install a "round" mount on an aero seatpost? All you have to do is look at the photos (attached) directly from the Cygolite website. If you have an aero seatpost, you want the flexible rubber mount version, not the rigid mount. Someone else claimed it had a narrow beam. Just look at this photo from our surveillance camera. Does it seem tight? "The fixed mount version doesn't hold the seatpost very well." WTF! This mount is rock solid. I could drive through a tornado and the lights wouldn't go out. They did something wrong again and now they are trying to blame Cygolite. Finally, someone else said it's too bright for those following you. Constant or Zoom modes are specifically designed for this situation. If you took the time to read the instructions and research a few sources, you would know these things. Here's the gist: This light is very bright! By combining different modes and flash frequency, it is almost continuously adjustable. Long work hours. Fast charging. Flash™, which detects the ambient light and automatically adjusts to the optimum brightness. Waterproof. Charges via USB. Has a low battery indicator. Just buy it. You will not be disappointed. I have been using the PlanetBike Superflash for many years. It was once the gold standard. Hotshot Pro 200 is now light years ahead. The main difference is in the brightness and variety of settings. Now I use both flashlights at the same time.

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Bad instructions
