Comments about CygoLite MiliOn 200 USB LED Bike Light:

Just received this item and I tested it head to head against my NiteRider Minewt Mini and Minewt X2.

The Milion is brighter than both NiteRiders (200 lumens VS 110 lumens VS 150 lumens).

The Milion is constructed of plastic (like the Minewt Mini), unlike the Minewt X2 which is made of metals and appears more durable.

The Milion is not as pretty as either NiteRider.

But, I what I love is the Milion's one piece design!!!

So easy to mount and so easy to charge. Just one piece, baby!

Light quality wise, it blows away the Minewt Mini's mere 110 lumens. The Milion's 200 lumens is brighter than the X2s 150 lumens. But, the X2 appears to have a sort of prettier beam whereas the Milion just blows you away with power (the beam is still pretty focused, though).

A better comparison is the Milion VS the Minewt X200 (200 lumens). But, the Minewt X200's retail price is 38% higher than the Milion's.

Long story short, I like the single piece design. I like the power. And, I like the price.

I have to only give four stars, however, because the plastic case looks kind of ugly.

But, for the same price you can only get the Minewt USB. You have to go for power and the Milion has plenty of brute light force!!!

The Minewt Mini is a pansy compared to this monster.

Service and delivery comments:

Yes to all.

Comments about CygoLite MiliOn 200 USB LED Bike Light:

This light is bright and easily picks out potholes at a good distance. Run times are ample for my rides. I do like the fact there isn't a battery pack to fuss with and the USB charging is nice when I commute. This light looks good, especially when you consider how the light and battery are combined into one unit. The front is aluminum while the rear, where the battery is, is plastic. Overall a great light.

Comments about CygoLite MiliOn 200 USB LED Bike Light:

I ride my fixed-gear (no brakes!) around the Army base. The beam is strong enough (15-20 meters ahead) that even going at 32 km per hr, I still have a couple of seconds to react. At 130 gms (weight weenies, you know who you are), you have no excuse to cut a training ride that goes into the night. I ran it for 1 hr straight and could still hold the light with my bare hands. For this price and quality, you'd be a fool not to buy this one! Can't wait to ride again in Ft Collins CO!

Powerful All-in-One Light

Aluminum front

Cons

Best Uses

Comments about CygoLite MiliOn 200 USB LED Bike Light:

I picked the Milion because I really liked the idea of an all in one light, but I didn't expect how bright it was going to be. It totally outshined my 10 watt halogen light and at a fraction of the weight and size. The aluminum front gives it a solid feel yet the light is still compact and lightweight. In fact I've mistaken it for my cell phone when it was in my pocket a few times. Brightness is excellent on the road and run times seam pretty accurate. It has a nice USB charging feature that I don't use much but what also makes it cool is that is sort of looks like a Jedi light saber.

Comments about CygoLite MiliOn 200 USB LED Bike Light:

200 lumens is strong in such a small package (as other poster alluded - lighter than the Minewt Mini).

Not the most attractive light.

But, very functional.

I also compared the beam to my Niteriders.

I have to say that the NiteRider X2 has a prettier, whiter beam.

This Cygolite's beam also has an unintended outer circle.

So, I believe that the lens quality is one step lower than NiteRider's excellent quality.

The beam is not perfectly white. It's actually slightly pinkish.

But, this light is cheaper than the NiteRider Minewt 200 by a significant amount.

It's cordless (one piece). Doesn't really matter to me but seems to matter to that dude that just posted a review.

For the price, I take this over the Minewt Mini anyday (Minewt Mini beam looks like a glorified AAA light beam).

Great commuter light

Pros

Great visibility
One-piece design
Rechargable
Rechargable through USB

Cons

Blinds joggers unless low

Best Uses

Night commute

Comments about CygoLite MiliOn 200 USB LED Bike Light:

I commute at nights, spending about 40-50 minutes in the dark. This thing is perfect for that. It is plenty bright for multi-use path and street riding, even on the "dim" mode. It is even a little brighter than I am used to; I have to be careful to keep the beam lowered so that I don't blind joggers.

I recharge it once, on the weekend, and it's good all week. If I forget, I can just take it into my office the next morning, where any USB port can serve as the charger--that's incredibly convenient.

As a commuter I don't care so much about weight, but I can say that the convenience from the one-piece design is a big improvement over having to manage batteries.

Broke it twice

Pros

Cons

Mounting system

Best Uses

Front headlight
Night commute
Rear safety light

Comments about CygoLite MiliOn 200 USB LED Bike Light:

I ride road 4-5 times a week, of which three are night rides. The mounting bracket has broken twice on the light in the same spot and the light fell off while riding. The problem is the screw that holds the mounting bracket to the light screws into plastic on the light and it just breaks. It is too bad because I love everything else about the light. The cost, the visibility, and the one piece unit are great. If they could fix the mounting system I would buy it again, but stay away from it until then.

Blow holes through the darkness!

Best Uses

Front headlight
Trail riding

Comments about CygoLite MiliOn 200 USB LED Bike Light:

On my first ride with this thing all I could say was WOW!. This thing blows holes through the darkness. Obstacles are easily picked up on the trail even at speed. Even on the low setting, this light really lights up the trail. I haven't ran it over 2 hours yet to check the battery life, but it's run strong for 2 hours on high.

One piece! No wires to snag / route, no battery packs to mount. Great!

As previously mentioned, it's not the sexiest light out there *Bling* but I'm more of a function over form fan. It is light weight, bright and small. The beam is pretty clean with a defined center spot and a consistent flood, but it does have a slight halo on the outer edge of the beam.

Comments about CygoLite MiliOn 200 USB LED Bike Light:

This light is powerful and is lightweight.

But, it's beam is pink colored! Also, there is light leakage in a ring of bright light in the periphery. This should not be there.

This item passes all the tests but the most important one.

Beam quality.

You get what you pay for and, for 200 lumens, this is a good price.

But, man, that pink beam and the light leakage really leaves you just scratching your head.

Not a solitary, bar mounted MTB light

Pros

Integrated battery

Cons

Narrow beam

Best Uses

Helmet light
Night commute

Comments about CygoLite MiliOn 200 USB LED Bike Light:

I went for my first night MTB trail ride with this Cygolite 200 on the bar and a cheap head-light (105 lumens, advertised) strapped to my helmet. I went on a familiar 4-mile trail (Blankets Creek - Van Michael trail - Woodstock, GA). This light must be 5 times brighter than the head-light, but the dim helmet-mounted light proved to be as many times more useful.

Any single-LED light (like this one) is going to be useless mounted to the bars, because they generally all have a focused, narrow beam that more often than not will leave the trail ahead unlit. This is by design. If the optics created a wider, more diffuse beam, the beam would not project out ahead as far. What I know now: if you want to ride trails at night, you need a bar mounted wide-angle diffuesed light (probably a nice 2 or 3 LED light, or halogen), perhaps no less than 500 lumens, AND most importantly, you need a bright single LED light on your helmet.

That said, this light would make a great helmet-mounted light, especially since the battery is self-contained. I would rather save some money and try the Cygolite 150 for this, but that model doesn't come with the helmet mount... doh! Also, I can imagine this light would be perfect for road bikers, as much straight and flat that is involved by comparison.

Other notes: if this light is on top of your head (the only place for it for trail riding), the low battery indicator is a useless, unless you can see the top of your head. The bar mount seems solid and well designed and it is simple to unclip the light and throw it in your pocket. I have not tested charge time or run time, but I can tell you the AC->USB adapter outputs 700mA, which would be a pretty heavy draw on any USB hub.

Bottom line: buying enough candlepower to ride trails at night becomes quite expensive.
