Nice photos RM. The rear shots are spot on. As for the side photos I think you could of had a more dramatic picture using a darker background environment but regardless it's almost impossible to show a photo of what the human eye sees at night by using a camera. You did a stand up job though.

Now to the people who still think a Hotshot 150 is too bright for urban use, I think you need to reconsider. If you drive in a car you pass super bright lights all the time. Sometimes it's the headlights from on-coming cars, sometimes it's from the police with their 10000 lumen light bars going on the side of the road and then there is always the people who work on the roads at night using industrial work lights ( some of those are Damn bright. ) That said the output from a Hotshot 150 is only going to annoying if you have no choice but to look at it because you are directly behind someone using one and can't pass... ( such as on a group ride ). Otherwise in a car it's not a major issue. If you can deal with Police lights ( which happens all the time ) these pail in comparison.

@JRYoung....The HS 150 uses a typical plastic mount. I've had no problems with it. It utilizes a quick release that operates without issue. The mount also pivots so it can be aimed. When you slide the lamp onto the mount it will give an audible "click" that lets you know the lamp is firmly engaged with the mount. It does require a screw driver though to adjust the aim.
