I ride often at night using Cygolite Hot Shots. I use the 50 as it came with the combo when I bought the headlights. Sadly I lost one on a long ride with friends. I had it on my seat pack and as my friend was behind me, he said, "your light is off!". I replied not to worry as we had just completed the highway section so I didn't need it to be on, I told him.
A little confusion? If it were me, I would have said, "your light fell off!!". Light is off to me means the power is turned off. So 15 miles down the road, I notice my light had fallen off. Had he said "fell off", I would have stopped and looked for it.
So I lost that one and I like 2 at night, one seat post and one helmet. So I picked up a Hot Shot 150 on ebay. Fast free delivery, got here and Oh My!
It was not charged so I plugged it in for about 3 minutes. Then turned it on to verify it works.
WOW! Almost blew out my eye sockets ha ha! Talk about bright!
There are several modes and some save more than others claiming up to 210 hours. We'll see about that but just turning it on with very little charge, I am impressed with the brightness. And, there is a daylight mode that claims to work really well to be seen during the day. I use it mostly at night so I'll have to test out the modes vs daylight mode.
But I like it and after having the 50's for a few years, I'd definitely recommend this bright sucker 150 Hot Shot!
