Super impressed with this light!
I rarely write reviews but I was so happy with this product I decided I should. I recently pushed a wheelchair on the Camino de Santiago in Portugal which required walking/pushing lots of road side miles. The Portuguese drive notoriously drive fast – sweet people but crazy drivers. I used this light almost exclusively during the day and it was so bright I could see the reflection in the road signs and car reflectors. The fully charged batteries lasted multiple days and it served its purpose extremely well.

Possibly too bright for group rides
This is one of the brightest rear tail lights out there. Expertly designed, too/ May take a minute to familiarize yourself with the various settings. It is extremely bright at night. On a recent group ride, i had several people tell me it was blinding them. Then they asked who makes it?I had to study the settings to find out how to make it dimmer. You can only do this in two modes: Steady and Buzz Flash. The L button controls on/off and switching between modes. The right button will dim or brighten the light in those two modes.It comes with two mounts, for seatpost and seatstay. You can also clip it to a bag. If you want to mount it to a rack, you need to buy the rack mount, which needs extra hardware to fit on a Blackburn MTB rack. There is also a saddle rail mount available. I usually clip it to my under-seat bag, but I could also clip it to my rack bag or a messenger bag or backpack. AFAIK, there’s no real way to clip it to the back of a helmet, except for maybe an aftermarket strap.It has some proprietary tech that adjusts brightness to meet different lighting conditions, which gives it a variable run time in every mode. I have no idea how this actually works, but Cygolite mention it in their marketing materials. It will also remember the last setting when turned on, which is a nice feature.If and when sheer britness matters, this may be the king of shine. It certain;y gives confidence in night riding that you will be visible in traffic. Just remember to dial it down if going on a group ride.

Excellent Safety Addition for Cyclists!
These taillights are a great safety addition for cycling on the road, especially at night. The brightness is impressive, and the night and daytime modes provide excellent versatility for different conditions. Theyâre reliable and easy to use, making them a must-have for staying visible and safe while riding. Highly recommend!

LOVE LOVE LOVE
I’m not going to attach a photo, because the listing already has large, high resolution pictures. Rest assured, I absolutely LOVE these Cygolite Hypershot 350 Lumen Bicycle Tail Lights. Having bought 3-4 different headlights, I became frustrated with the terrible quality, weak light, and poor battery life of the tail lights haphazardly packaged with them. Surely, I thought, SOMEBODY makes a high-quality tail light that isn’t just an afterthought. Cygolite does.It is hot in Texas, so I ride my bike mostly at night when the heat of the day has subsided. Fast-moving, distracted drivers are dangerous enough without being invisible to them. The Cygolite Hypershot is bright. It gets noticed. Cars see you from far away. I can look over my shoulder and see it lighting up road signs 200 feet away. Settings allow you to adjust the light to blink and dim to your preference. Battery life is excellent. I usually charge it with my headlight, and the Cygolite battery outlasts it every time.I also bought the Cygolite Hotshot Pro 200. It is a slightly smaller, simpler design, but also an excellent product. You can’t go wrong with either model. UPDATE: I just bought a second Hypershot 350 because my son needed a high quality tail light to ride with me.

Super bright, but not sure about the holder
This light is very bright and has great visibility. There are a few things I did not like. Micro USB charger. All my bike devices have type C ports, it would not be convenient to keep an additional cable just for this light. Also the plastic holder of the light does not look strong enough. It might be ok, but I decided to buy another brand that has more reliable connection options.

Recommended for daylight only usage
The Hypershot 350 is one of the best flashers made for use during daylight hours. The worst case scenario is when you are riding into a sun that’s low to the horizon. The driver coming up on you is blinded by the sun.I’ve tested my Hypershot 350 by parking the bike on an east-west road near sunset and walking 250 feet behind it. The flasher was bright enough to be unmistakable in this situation but not by a wide margin. Less powerful flashers will be missed.The problem is that this flasher is much too powerful for use at night. Oncoming drivers will be blinded and provoked to road rage. Unfortunately, you can only adjust blink speed on the Hotshot, not brightness. I have a second and much less expensive flasher for use at night. It’s the Blitzu [Amazon ASIN B00W7Y27CQ]. The Cygolite and the Blitzu are opposites in that the Hotshot is too bright for night and the Blitzu is not bright enough for day. It’s ridiculous to need two flashers to cover the full 24 hours but there you are.The pricing on Cygolite products is very volatile. The Hotshot 350 is currently only 36 USD, which is less than the lower model Hotshot 250. It was 54 USD when I bought mine during April 2024.

Bright and Easy
This light is very bright with multiple strobe patterns. The mounting hardware fit easily on seat post and holds light securely. Recharges quickly and holds charge for long rides. Happy with the purchase and would buy again if needed

Bright and holds a charge
Super bright. Makes me feel safe. I love the variety of light patterns and ability to vary the luminosity on two of the settings. It holds the battery charge well and lasts a long time. Great for using on my bike riding around in the great city of Portland, Oregon in the dark rainy months.

2 reasons why this is extremely bright. A is that it has a concentrated hotspot, ie very high lux (not talking about lumens). This is the value that you get on lux meters, the amount of light that you get at a certain spot some distance away. B is that it uses an orangey red emitter, easily 5-10 nm wavelength lower than other red LEDs. So your eye perceives it as brighter (brightest is at 555nm / green colour), more efficient use of power etc.I use 2 of these 350s as the hotspot is elliptical in shape and horizontally is 10 deg spread and vertically is 5 deg spread. So 2 of these gives me a 20 degrees horizontal coverage. I also use 2pcs of Magicshine Seemee 300 for even wider coverage esp with its additional Optic-trace LED firing sideways as i mount those horizontally on the back of my saddle (on a horizontal bar facing the rear).Need to fine tune a bit the vertical angle, the jagged teeth of the vertical angle adjustment is pretty “rough” and ends up either aiming the light too upwards or too downwards, esp for 1 of my light. I end up sticking some pcs of foam tape in between the clip on the light to serve as spacers so that the angle can be further fine tune. Very good light, you will be seen during day time. Use the STEADY mode for night time use, the intensity can be fine-tuned to a pretty low level. I think the run time for STEADY mode @ 350 lumens thereabouts (yes, full intensity) is 2hrs. This is one of the rare lights that you can run at max power in steady mode and still not overheat. AND also it can accept being plugged to a power bank and the light still stays lit, thereby prolonging the runtime a lot and limited by your powerbank only.
