I keep my lights specifically aimed so as to reduce or eliminate blinding of motorists and other road users. I don't want to have to mess with that over and over again every time I mount the light or move it to other bikes. Cygolite mounts fit that requirement very nicely, and they are easy to tighten and STAY tightened. I've had cheap bike light mounts that always want to come loose. The Cygolite mount never comes loose. The light also doesn't vibrate or bounce around, like my BT speaker does with a rubber strap mount.
The rubber strap on my L&M is really tight. I have no problem with it bouncing around. It is my secondary light and mounted on my helmet. It pivots very easily so I can reach up and turn it to the side to keep the beam out of the eyes of oncoming riders on the MUP. Pivot back when they have passed.
