Customers are satisfied with the visibility of the bicycle light. They mention that it is clearly visible in the day, even on solid-state mode. The increase in visibility to street traffic is enormous, and the light is easy to see from very far away. The rapid flash mode makes a bicyclist very visible to traffic at night. Some say that the daytime visibility of this light is what puts it over the top. The lense makes it much more visible from an angle, and it is visible for a very long distance.

Brightest for the money, only mounts on seatposts

Brightest for the money, only mounts on seatposts
I purchased this light because my planet bike taillight busted and I was on a budget. I also wanted something that was rechargeable so it can always perform at it's brightest. I like the flashing modes and normally use the slow fading blink (to soothe the aggressive drivers of Brooklyn) . Unlike other lights I have used which begin to dim once they are getting low on batteries, this light just sorta goes out mid-ride. It's a bit scary to get to your destination and realize your tail has been out. I will keep mine fully charged from now on. The mount for the light is not the most burly mount, it's actually pretty average. The design makes it tough to switch between bikes and it will only mount on your seat post. I usually zip-tie it to my second bike when I ride it at night because removing and re-installing the mount is not a pleasurable activity.I gave this light 5-starts because it is the brightest, rechargeable tail light for $30 that you can buy. Mounting the light on my seat post is what I expected this product to do and that works best for me. It has more flashing modes than any other lights I've ever used. TO TURN OFF THE LIGHT HOLD THE LEFT BUTTON for a second (one one thousand) until the light blinks once. When you turn the light on again it will remain in the mode you last used.If Cyogolight made a light that was more weatherproof (better buttons and USB cover, had a battery life indicator and had a more stable, easier to adjust/remove mount I would be happy to pay more $$$ for one of their products. At $30 this light delivers GREAT value because it's brighter than much more expensive lights. I think it's the best light at it's price point.
