For night riding I also add one of these 32 LED Spoke Lights into each wheel to attain amazing visibility.

Both the Cygolite Hotshot Pro 150 USB 150 Lumen single lamp and the Cygolite Hypershot 350 USB 350 Lumen dual lamp rear lights are approximately the same size and almost identical mass.

Somehow they both have identical specified run time, 2 - 200 hours, depending upon the setting. Both have Li-ion batteries, probably the same battery.

My Hotshot Pro 150 has over 30 hours of fun time w/ 1 flash per second. It is plenty bright.

My expectation is that driving two lamps would use about twice the power, decreasing the run time, but somehow they are specified for the same. So, if that is true, go for the 350, otherwise the 150 is a great lamp that cannot be missed.
