Does anyone have any experience with the Cygolite Hotrod 50?
This one...

It's the perfect size and shape for mounting to my helmet. That's what I'm looking to do.
I have the much brighter Hotshot 150 mounted lower on my rear rack. I love that light. I'm pretty sure you could still see it if you were standing on the surface of the Sun....and blind.
I don't need that much brightness up higher on my helmet. But I want to know if this 50 lumen light is clearly visible and a good 'be seen' light in daylight hours.
I just tested the Hotrod 50 at REI and it's definitely bright. It's just hard to tell in darker store lighting if a light will be good outside in the sun.
Keep in mind that my Hotshot 150 on the rear rack is doing the heavy lifting for getting me noticed. At it's about 3 feet off the ground so it's just below eye level for most seated car drivers. I just want that extra boost up at my head height as an added attention getting.
Is the Hotrod 50 bright enough or will it dissapear in sunlight?
