Review on 🚴 Cygolite Hotshot – Powerful 2 Watt Bike Taillight with 6 Modes – Adjustable Flash Speed – Compact & Water Resistant – USB Rechargeable – Ideal for Busy Roads by Rovy Oppeneer

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Bright, but otherwise not enough.

Good product although it has some flaws that really make it 3 stars instead of 5. First, the choice to use a mini USB charger instead of micro USB. This in itself would be annoying as micro-USB is much more common, but the most interesting thing is that Cygolite uses micro-USB on three of my other flashlights. I have found that I have to be very careful to ensure this particular light is charged. With other flashlights, when it's low I can usually crank it up on the go, but it's hard to find someone with a charger for it. Another thing I'd like to see is an easier way to enable it. on and off, like a switch instead of a button that doubles as a function key. I keep this in my backpack and have to take the bag off and put it back on to turn the thing on. I can reach out and do this while it's on, but unless it's dark I don't know if it worked or not.

Pros
  • Delivery was very fast
Cons
  • Slightly crumpled
