I purchased a Hotshot but it was never delivered. It's been 3 months now and I'm trying to get my money back. The seller keeps dallying - customs delays and whatnot.

In the mean time, I've also purchased a Niteflux Red Zone 8 (8W beasts these are - not cheap). I plan on pairing it with the eventual hotshot. I shall run the Red Zone on blinker but hotshot on solid. I read somewhere that the blinkers get the attention, but the solid tells motorists how far away you are. Eitherway it should compensate for the hotshot's weakness from the side.
