Perfection in simplicity. Lots of bright.

The thing is super bright and even stands out in daylight. Easy assembly and fairly fast charging. Battery life was good as I haven't had to charge it after many hours of driving. Full control over flash frequency (speed) and many patterns to choose from. Ran in the rain with no problems. I think that buying a more powerful flashlight will only result in a decrease in battery life. I can't imagine brighter light being needed for any reason. I have no idea how to improve the design.

Pros
  • Few competitors
Cons
  • Functionality

Great taillight for cycling

I have used several bicycle taillights. The Cygolite Hotshot SL-50 is the best rear light I have ever owned. The SL-100 is brighter but doesn't last as long on each charge. I use a slow flash mode that flashes about every 10-15 seconds. It doesn't irritate the driver much and is brighter than fast flash modes. The light is very bright, affordable, lasts several hours without recharging, easy to assemble and easy to remove and swap out for charging. The first Cygolite Hotshot I bought still…

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • I will add later

Portable Bike Tail Light

I bought this light because I wanted something portable as I have multiple bikes that I can easily use on all my bikes. Pros: Bright light, different modes, rechargeable and small size for easy portability. Cons: The light doesn't fit all of my different stands, the stand it fits on sometimes comes loose when I hit a pothole in the road. I end up not being able to just use it on all my bikes and racks it fits. I have to be very careful not to hit a pothole or get hit hard. It fell, but luckily…

Pros
  • Good Thing
Cons
  • Volume

The charge does not last as long as advertised.

I like the brightness of the light, but the load on my light is much less than the description "working time of 230 to 200 hours". The first charge seemed to last a while, but after that I only had 4 or 5 rides on a single charge. It turns out about 10 hours. Maybe it's normal, but it seems bad to me. Cygolite agreed so I sent the flashlight back to them and they "replaced" it under warranty. Unfortunately, the new flashlight only offers 11 hours of use on a single charge, suspiciously the same

Pros
  • Absolutely amazing!
Cons
  • poorly thought out

Great light, need a converter to charge.

Great light weight dumb loading mechanism. The light itself is bright, really bright for a taillight, and has a good mix of modes. It charges via mini-USB, NOT micro-USB, which is incredibly stupid. I keep a mini micro-converter in my bike bag so I can charge this stupid thing on the go. I don't know why the manufacturer sticks to the dead format. I understand it's harder to break than Micro-USB, but gas stations don't sell Mini-USB charging cables, and Starbucks doesn't have them. Gorgeous…

Pros
  • Best in its niche
Cons
  • Everything is great
