I love my hotshot 2w. it came as a bundle with a cygolite Metro 360. I only had a 2 mile commute to work starting my third shift but i noticed a big difference between how close people used to drive close to me before and after i added the light. admittedly, i stopped commuting to work on my bike at night becuase frankly even with the light, people around here aren't very used to it and I had one too many close calls, but there's something to be said about the battery light versus brightness of this tail light. i rave about it.

its snowy and cold out right now. it would take a special breed to commute in this (definitely not me) but whne spring hits or as we get closer to warmer weather, i'll be using the lights again to commute to my new first shift job.
