Questions & Answers

Does the battery need to be replaced?

There's a USB port, but it needs to be recharged.

I'm wondering if it is normal that I only see the top led light blink when I turn off hypershot 250? I noticed that my hypershot 350's led lights blink when it is turned ?

As a result, you took no action. The blinking of only one light indicates that you still have something to do Battery percentage If both lights blink at 50%, you have 50% or more

This can be mounted on a Cygolite Hotshot rear rack mount, correct?

Here is the item number The eleventh century Yes, it can be mounted on the 2451RM (rear tail light mount).

In a horizontal orientation, what would be the visibility like?

The light is extremely bright, and it can be seen both in portrait mode and in landscape mode. The outcome is very good for me. It is the variety of flash patterns that are more effective at grabbing attention. It's MIG the big wig

Selected User Reviews For Cygolite Hypershot – 250 Lumen Bike Tail Light– 7 Night & Daytime Modes–User Adjustable Flash Speeds- Compact & Durable–IP64 Water Resistant–Secured Hard Mount–USB Rechargeable–Great for Busy Streets

A HyperShot of the information on this page Upon looking into this subject, I found a super hotshot
5/5

Including a clip that returns the clip to its original mount. Until I'm able to spend more time on it, I'm going to give it a preliminary review. This is 1. There is no doubt it is bright, but you can control it by turning the dial
2. In keeping with the earlier Hotshots, they have returned to the original mount and it comes with all the original mounting hardware, 1. 2. 3. The microUSB port is used to charge the device. Ibid. , p. 4. The number of test modes available is good, and I am confident the runtime I experienced with three of them meets the manufacturer's statement.

I have no complaints right now, everything I expected. The price may come down a little after the 'newness' wears off, but the price is a bit pricey right now. Although a 350Lumen version is available as well, it is worth noting that 250Lumens is more than enough on a tail light, in all but a few circumstances. A few examples. If you tilt it up a bit, you might be able to see them from space. Those who love the previous Hotshots will want to check these out. After some more use, it will be updated. A brief update Since I've had this light on my bike for 11 months and over 1600 miles, I have now accumulated over 6000 It has repeatedly been pointed out to me by drivers and cyclists who are confused about the As I mentioned before, it is performing extremely well, and I am glad they returned to their old mounting It was an accident that I ripped the cover off the charge connector because I grabbed it as I removed the charger cable, so I let the cable go and the cover came out as well. There is still no security to hold the cover over the port as it is no longer secured to the light. I can still put the cover over the port, and it stays put over rough trail and road travels. It is possible that I will lose the cover one day. The second one I purchased I am going to put on another bike that uses a different light system, so I don't see the need for the brighter version The battery life on the iPhone 7 still amazes me.

This product is awesome Nonetheless, some extremely hazardous oversights were made
3/5

- It is bright out there. It's very nice Although bright, this is something you can control to an impressive extent. Despite its sturdiness, the mounting system is very stable. But if you turn on the "Bzz" flash setting, you are putting yourself in serious danger of epileptic seizures. I cannot fathom who thought that strobe setting was a good idea, or who allowed This is, in fact, an object fixation Someone will look at you if they see a flashing light, which is good, but people tend to gravitate to the things that interest them the most. In the event a driver (or another biker) sees those strobes (Bzz setting) they'll avoid looking at you since the light is too bright and abrasive, and they'll avoid looking at you. It may just be that they go unconscious and will not wake up In any case, they will crash into you. I used the hotshot 200 for a long time, and I didn't have any problems with it I enjoyed it a lot. The fact that a few people might be out there biking with the Bzz setting on makes me just besides myself. I only use one setting anyways, but knowing there are people might be biking with this will hopefully make me want the light even more.

This mount is sturdy and extremely bright, but it is a bit more complicated than needed
4/5

Having lost several charming straps for the rear lights in the past, I thought getting something permanently attached was the best option. I found this one on a search for the brightest/best taillight. You will love how bright it is and that you can choose from multiple modes as well. There are two sizes of mounting holes one for the seat tube and posts and one for the Both come with a rubber lining, and are interchangeable. Although neither allows you to change the angle of the light, or adjust for side slope, neither works with a standard desk lamp holder. The second light is fixed with two screws, the first to the mount and the second to the frame. A simple process. While the multiple modes are somewhat confusing to me, I do find them helpful as a starting point. During flashing mode switching, you use one button for setting the modes and the other button for setting the duration of the flashing. It's all right. With 7 options, it appears to offer something for everyone, but is still too much for some people. A solid, flashing, and extremely bright LED is all that really needs to be seen during the day. Turning it off has to be done multiple times as well. It doesn't take long before you find the right mix.
After nitpicky complaints, I do like that it has a very bright LCD screen, a simple USB charge port, and is very sturdy. I would buy it again, but could see some improvement on the design.

There's no better name for a hypershot than this I am amazed at how bright this light is! The 250-word version is what I chose The luminance of the Cygolite Hypershot over 300 lumens This review only grew out of one reviewer's assertion that the 350-lumen model is also a good choice I was concerned that the lumen model might be dangerous A bright day
5/5

The 250-foot distance is not as significant as it might seem When the lumen model gets too close, it will be dangerous A bright day comes to an end Do not look straight at it if you want to see it In general, I was happy with the fact that the kit came with both mountings and stays for the post. Though the set came with one rubber liner, it was sized for the seat post mount, and the stays mount required a liner as well. So I had to cut the liner to fit the stays It was a good thing the stay mount worked (so I didn't have to reinstall Make use of the cut liner as a mount for a seat post). The thing that I'm about to describe is bright, did I not mention? The item is one I would buy.

Finding the right taillight seems to have been easy! The other biker who followed me on the street warned me that my taillights could only be seen from two or three car lengths behind me, so I purchased On the first day of its debut, an eagle-eyed biker who was passing me asked me what that light was since he had seen it

When 10% of the time is left, the warning is much better
4/5

A single complaint I had with my hotshot was that it did not warn me of low batteries when it was 3 years old. I've recently bought a new Cygolite Hypershot 250 lumen tail light with a much more visible warning feature. When I first turned the lite on, the battery only lasted about 40ish hours on triple flash. This should have taken a lot longer according to instructions.

I doubled the light output of my original device
5/5

My first reaction when I saw the dual lens hypershot was to purchase it immediately. This light outshines all the other bikes that I see on the highways early in the morning. Previously, I used a single lens unit, which worked fine, but I am going to try mounting it to the back of the I consider the products from Cygolite the best products for cycling. These high-quality safety glasses are great for riding during the day or at.

I am amazed This is a super bright color! The majority of my riding is done alone on trails or quiet roads, but I wish greater visibility was available on the road
5/5

There are no words to describe how bright this light is. It is very easy to mount, charge, and set the desired A Cygolite Rack Mount for Hotshot was purchased for mounting on my bike rack, so I could mount it to it. This product is definitely recommended.
