I'd take a picture of it, but it's going to be next to impossible to do - the lens is more transparent and less translucent than on the Flare.

Pretty sure mine has one LED. Please note what the Cygolite website says about the Hotshot 150:

Quote taken from the Cygolite website:
-... Powerful and efficient single LED blasts 150 lumen flashes (90 lm steady)

- Engineered to make you stand out in broad daylight and at night

- Built-in 24/7 Safety Technology® gives you a powerful selection of 6 day and night modes (Steady - Zoom - SteadyPulse® - Triple Flash - DayLightning® - Random Flash)

- Freely adjust the brightness of Steady mode and the flash tempo of the flashing modes with the simple 2 button interface (patent pending)

- SteadyPulse® mode features a steady beam to help motorists gauge their distance while overlapping pulses keeps them alert at night

- DayLightning® mode emits lightning-like flashes to highlight your presence in the brightest of daytime hours

- Zoom mode signals those around you with gentle changes in brightness

- Enhanced Cycling Optics™ expands your presence with an extra wide and long range beam

- Specially treated internal body disperses a radiant glow to keep nearby motorists alert

- USB rechargeable internal battery
Is it possible that the one you have is a counterfeit / Chinese clone?
