The Cygolite hotshot is great. It is indeed red. The mounting bracket isn’t great, but the light also has a clip so you can attach it to a bag or article of clothing in case the mounting bracket fails.
The 150 is insanely bright, and I can only imagine the 200 is outrageous. Like, too bright. If you can find the 50 or 100 for cheap, I’d get that. They’re all plenty bright even for daytime riding.

1. it doesn't seem to be red, which is what I was assuming you want for the rear. Am I wrong either about it not being red, or wrong about assuming you want that for the rear?
2. amazon comments seem to be complaining a lot about the mounting and the bracket (for the newer model as well). Do you find that to be an issue?
