I'm surprised there are no comments, but I did buy this. I didn't really need another light (I have 2 Varias), but at 90 lumens for only $30, and an actual reputable American brand like Cygolite, it was tough to pass up. I used it for the first time on the bike trail yesterday. It was a bit of a s-show, as I found out my front tire was flat when I got to the trail.

Rather than lose a nice day, I decided to drive back home and swap out the deflated tube for a new Conti Race tube and mounted my Niterider 1100 front light and this Cygolite 90 lumen rear light. Because I started so late in the evening riding (after 830 PM) I got a chance to see just how bright this thing is at dusk/night. I had it on pulse/flash, and I love it. It's super bright -- it leaves a burning red flash that can probably be seen for miles (in the dark at least). Also, it fit the strap is very well made and fit around my Ridley's aero seat post with no problem.

So, it's a great low price, and I'll also give it an enthusiastic thumbs up at only $30 for 90 lumens.

Did anyone else buy this light - or own it? Was wondering thoughts on how they liked it?

Thank you. I was wondering if I even need it since I have a varia and this was super helpful.

This light is kind of the gold standard if you have an aero seatpost or rim brakes as it won't stick out and interfere with the brake cable. Also it's been around for a long while so there are a lot of mods out there to make it fit various odd places. That said microUSB sucks and I've seen a ton of these go bad just cuz the port is worn out.

Great price for a 90 lumen light. Wish they had a comparable headlight on sale.

Shillers don't usually have good English, high rating, high number of posts and can retort back to comments such as yours with swearing 🤣🤣. So I'll take this one as someone who is enthusiastic about a product enough to tell others about it. Enough for me to buy it as I'll have my bike come in tomorrow. Now to find a deal on a helmet

Appreciate the support. As far as helmets, Bike Closet has a $200 + Kask Valegro (anthracite color - Medium) for $69.99 + shipping. That's a decent deal on a high end helmet.

I respect your knowledge of this stuff. I told my wife I want to get back into riding to help with stress. I know it's a good chunk of money upfront but since I'll be riding early in the morning before the little one wakes up, I prefer lights and a helmet to be safe! I "splurged" on a Giant Hybrid bike about 2 years ago and really need to use it
