Now that the end of daylight savings time has snuck up on me once again, I'm considering adding an additional headlight. I'm deciding on one of the self contained, USB rechargeable lights that will be used as a helmet mounted light at dusk or full time, or will be bar mounted alongside with my current light, an MG PLI MC-E flashlight. A helmet mounted flasher with a couple hundred lumens for commuting at dusk seems like a good improvement to my visibility.

Can the Cygolite owners give me an opinion of the Steady Pulse and Day flash modes? Which brightness levels do they use and what are the patterns/rates? Is the Steady Pulse any more visible than a standard on/off pattern?

If anyone has a link to a video showing these that would be great as well. I've only found a vid of an Expilion 350 and Hotshot flashing side by side that doesn't do a good job of displaying either light.

Thanks.
