Comments about CygoLite Hotshot 2W USB Rear Bike Light:

Brighter than any light in this price range. The beam is narrow, but will catch anybody's attention, even in daylight. Way brighter than any of the Superflash lights. And a little brighter than the Portland Design Works Radbot 1000.

The built-in reflector isn't nearly as good as the Radbot 1000, so I just use both. I set one on solid/constant, and the other on flash, and I'm the brightest thing out there. The Radbot 1000 is a little cheaper though (I wish REI carried that one and other PDW products!).

My only complaint is that there's not a smaller diameter mounting bracket, like for your seat stay or other small diameter tube. Both the Planet Bike and Portland Design Works tail lights come with this second, smaller bracket. And those tail lights mount on each other's brackets, which is really convenient. Cygolite should do this too.

This is a real nice light, definitely worth considering.

Comments about CygoLite Hotshot 2W USB Rear Bike Light:

I got this light to replace some crummy rear-LED light. This one is VERY bright. I like that it is rechargeable via a USB cable --perfect for work/home. My only gripe is that the buttons are too small and don't have enough positive "click" when using. It took me a while to adjust to turning it off without cycling the flash-mode. The ability to adjust the speed of the pattern is kind of interesting.
I would give a 5/5 if the buttons were better, and had more side-illumination.
