I Like this Light
I normally ride on city streets and being seen is very important for safety reasons. This light is very easy to install either on the seat post, seat stays, or back of seat. Attaching to your bicycle is very simple by means of the supplied elastic bands with the housing hooks being deep enough to ensure the light stays on. The light is slim and not one of those boxy/square light and this gives you a wider are with more LED lights and larger pattern. The light is very bright (even in bright sunshine) or it can be adjusted down by selecting a different flash or steady mode. The different modes and brightness settings, makes this light very versatile. The battery charge last quite a while and quite impressive since it can go for a couple of weeks without needing a charge (my rides are normally 1 - 1.5 hrs and I ride 4-5 times weekly). The light is easy to turn on and off and mode selection is simply done by pressing the on/off button. Once you select your desired mode, the mode is put into memory so that when you turn on your light again, it automatically comes on. Overall, I am very happy with this purchase and after several months of use, I have not experienced any issues whatsoever.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best pair of lights I’ve owned. (edited 4 years later)
Reviewed in the United States on June 6, 2018
I’ve owned a lot of small usb rechargeable lights but the Cygolite Hotrod beats all of them. I have had these for almost two years now. They are still going strong.

1. Brightness. Both front and rear have sufficient brightness and a variety of light modes. The light mode I find myself using a lot is the low flash. It says low flash, but my no means is it “low”. During sunset to the darkest of nights, this low flash setting is unbelievably bright. To add, this setting goes for 32 hours before a recharge is needed. I had a pair of Serfas Tridents, and those went on for around 8 hours before needing a charge (on the low flash). If the road is really dark, the hotrod at it’s highest brightness (High Steady) does a decent job. I can see around 5 feet ahead of me, luckily I also have another light on for these scenarios. The Cyolite Hotrod is for sure a “to be seen” light, not so much of a “to see the road” type of light, if you guys get what I mean.

2. Form factor. The light itself is really small. Around 8cm long. Despite this, like I said, the battery life is exponential. The straps are also very convenient for whatever seatpost you have. I have the Specialized Venge post and the straps work just fine. I had another bike with a 27.2 seatpost, the straps also did just fine then too. The straps have been in use daily for almost 2 years with no sign of wear. The light itself is of robust quality too. I dropped it countless times, and the plastic cover on the rear light covering the LED did crack. But honestly, it spreads the light sideways now sooooo haha. Kidding, but it still works like a charm. No water has seeped in either.

3. Price? A lot of people may argue that spending almost 60 dollars for a pair of lights isn’t worth it. I’d have to argue against that. A light is for you to be seen at night. I’d rather spend good money on a QUALITY bike light and be safe. Rather than, spend my money on a cheapo light and risk it all. I convinced a lot of fellow friends to buy this light and all of them will tell you the same thing “it was worth it”.

Conclusion?
Buy this. If you’re in the market for a new small light, this will suit your needs. Not only is it bright, the light is tough, long lasting, and small. I hope this review helped any of you. Thank you!

The advertised weight is accurate btw.

The lights are still working, bright, and used daily. These lights have been through a lot. Countless charge cycles, yet it still hasn't failed. The battery life is still great.

4.0 out of 5 stars Up date after 2 months: Great Light works on our helmets so we added more to our front forks.
Reviewed in the United States on February 15, 2021
New review after 2 months:

We liked the ones we added to our helmets so much we bought two more each for our front forks. These are really bright but have variable settings and the charge easily last for the 4 dark hours each weekend and recharge after than in about 15 minutes.

No problem with them falling off, or needing a safety leash, as we first worried about after reading some reviews. The stretchy strap is strong and the rubber pads on the back of the light keeps them from slipping down our tapered forks even on the roughest roads and trails.

The bad is that the micro charging port is covered by a tiny rubber button attached to a very thin and easily torn gasket that seals the light. We have broken one already and now just cover the port with a small piece of duct tape so no real problem. It would be nice if they also sold replacement gasket / port covers as they are easily accessed with 2 small screws.

We recommend them to friends and will buy more for the rear of our bikes once our much more expensive ones die.

Original Review:
As a professional product designer I would have given it 5 stars if they had designed the tabs you hook the rubber band over so that there was a slot behind them for a velcro strap, or they had hole in the frame to attach a safety leash.

After adding them to our helmets I want to add them facing our from our front forks so we are more visible from the side. It seem all modern forks are tapered as the go down and I'm a little worried that they will slip down and fall off so stay tuned for a update on that.
