Is there a noticeable difference between a 2 watt LED and a single watt? My wife, who overtakes me in her car on the way to work, says "YES!". She notes that the Cygolite is easily the brightest tail light I've ever used.
What's to like? Easily detachable/attachable. Multiple modes. Very long life on a single charge, well over 24 hours even at the brightest setting. Gotta love the USB rechargeable battery: at the end of my work week, I pop the light off my bike, charge it (2-3 hours), pop it back on, good to go for at least another week. No prying covers off, no batteries to dispose of.
What's less to like? If you belong to a group of night riders, you'll have to tone down: this light is obnoxiously bright even to some cars, much less to a fellow rider right behind you. The light intensity, in fairness, is very adjustable. Mode selection is easy, adjusting the intensity of the light took me a bit of practice, and cost me a bit of frustration.
I've been using this light for five months. I'm loving its ease of use. I'm loving that it's so bright that cars often give me far more room than I need to feel safe. It's high daytime visibility is a real plus on my recumbent. This item is a winner that has made my half dozen other tail lights obsolete. Job well done, Cygolite.
Everything is rechargeable now, and the internal lithium lasts forever...or at least a heck of a long time. This light is very lightweight, and my concern was that on my high end racing road bike it would be too bulky, not even close- this light is the perfect size, and the light output is incredible for its size. If you ride on busy roads with lots of cars, you must have one of these! I followed a guy during a large organized ride, and I could pick him out of a 50 bike group during the day simply because this light is so easy to see from very far away. There were times where I was 1/2 to a full mile behind, and I couldn't tell if I was getting further or closer to him because the light never seemed to dim. At a full 2 watts, you will be hard pressed to find another light this good for 3-5 times the price. I am a collector of high end bike products, and this one stands proud in my collection. Don't hesitate to buy this light...
The light is well built and appears to be sturdy. It is quite bright and is easily visible in even very bright sunlight. The light remembers the mode setting. This makes it easy to turn on and off. It turns on in the flash mode I like, prevents multiple presses. I like the fact that the charging cable uses the mini USB connector, which is more rugged than the micro connector popular on smart phones. Cygolite advertises the light is rain proof. I haven't been in the rain with this light yet, but the cover for the charging port is finicky and is a weak point. I might come back and update this review at the end of the season.
I attach my rear light to a rack. Cygolite does not include a rack mount, but it is available for a very reasonable price from their web site. Their rack mount looks similar to the mount used by Planet Bike and Portland Design Works, but they aren't compatible. If you already have one of the other rack mounts, you will need to buy a new one for the Cygolite.
Overall, I am very pleased with this light so far.

La luz es muy brillante, por lo que cumple perfecto su objetivo de brindar seguridad.
Totalmente recomendable.
Lo que más me ha gustado, es su autonomía que me ha permitido usarla por más de 20 horas sin la necesidad de recargarla.
Es visible incluso en condiciones de luz de día.
Los diferentes modos de destello son los ideales para diferentes entornos y circunstancias de uso.
Se fija perfectamente al tubo de soporte del asiento.
Muy buena opción a un precio justo.
