 Great light for a great price, October 12, 2009

I use this every morning commuting to work. There is a 3 mile stretch without any street lights and it illuminates the road perfectly. On the way home I use the low beam so others on the road can see me. Last year I stopped commuting because of the dark, not this year. The mount works well and it's nice being able to recharge instead of replacing batteries.

I researched lights and lumens and lumens per dollar--this turned out the be the best value, and I love this light. No complaints, very bright, works as advertised. The charge lasts forever. Highly recommended.

Excellent Value, May 2, 2011
By George Middlebrook

I've used a number of different lights over the years for my late night commute, and this is by far the best. Battery life is adequate for my 14 mile trip. Coverage and distance is very good. I travel well lit roads, dimly lit suburban streets, as well as unlit trails and the Cygolight handles them all. I had an old-style halogen Cygolite several years ago and while it did the job, it was tempermental and didn't last more than a couple of seasons before the battery pack failed. We'll see how the battery lasts, but already I can tell it is a vast improvement. I look for much better results from this light. There are better lights on the market, but I haven't found anything better in under $100 price range.

Bright, secure mounts and a great price., August 9, 2011
By ScAnSaBr (Fresno, CA)

This light is very bright, reasonably priced and seems to be made very well. The light includes a wide angle lens to spread the beam out a bit and it works surprisingly well. The mount for the light is easy to use and adjust one-handed and the Velcro strap for the battery holds tight. The entire unit is relatively light and easy to put on the bike. I ended up strapping the battery under the top tube and wrap up the slack cord in the Velcro wrap to keep it from dangling around. So far I am at over 2 hours use (on high) on the first charge and it is still burning bright.
I am a little concerned that the charger included is not the "Smart Rapid Charger", as it does not look like the model shown in the owner's manual but after e-mail correspondence with CygoLite I was reassured that the charger is the correct model. Note that CygoLite said the rapid charge time is 3 hours, not 2.5 as stated in the Amazon description.
Heavier and more cumbersome than "all in one" type lights but very bright, solidly constructed and the light stays pointed where you set it. For the price it's a no-brainer.

Very good light, November 21, 2010

I haven't had very many chances to ride with the light yet, but what I have seen is awesome. The light itself is big enough to have the power I need, but not so big it gets in the way of anything. The mount is very secure and the light doesn't move at all. So far I've only had it on fairly flat single track so I can't say anything for more difficult terrain. When I ordered it, I expected the battery to be huge and ride in my water bottle cage, but it isn't at all, it's about as long as the palm of my had is wide and I can comfortably reach around three sides. It comes with a velcro strap and a pad to mount it to your frame where it sits very securely. I mounted the battery pack a couple inches in front of my seat tube and I can park my bike near an outlet unplug the light and plug into the charger without ever having to move the battery. So far I am very happy with my purchase. I don't have anything to compare it to, but if you are looking for an affordable light that is bright enough to light the trails at night and stays in place over bumps, or something better than a cheap AA powered light to light the road ahead this is definately a good choice.

 Good for most riding in the dark, December 8, 2011
By Cecil

I bought this light because my old bike light was good to let other people see me, but was not so good at letting me see. I use the Hi-Flux with the plastic flood attachment. This allows me to see a reasonable distance ahead and also lets me see the side of the road close to the bike. The only thing that would improve performance would be more power.
Operation is easy. The only thing confusing is the the instructions on charging the battery. I worry a little about battery life since it appears to be a non-standard battery which might cost more to replace than I paid for the Hi-Flux.
