Okay, I can understand wanting a lamp bright enough for daytime use, but why on earth would you think the 50-80 lumen Cygolite's are, "too bright for night time use." No way on earth are they too bright for nighttime use...UNLESS...you are in a group ride or have some sort of Euro-mindset. That said the Cygo's have a steady mode that is completely adjustable for output. I'm sorry but for the life of me I don't understand why anyone ( riding alone at night ) would want a rear lamp that could barely be seen!
