So it's eye catching, even in noon sunlight. And it has a long runtime too.
Ah, so it's almost certain, then, that their Hypershot 350 puts out fewer lumens on "steady" mode as compared to the "flash" modes.
Still, it's darned bright. I've got a pair of them. With one on a flash cycle and the other on steady, it's hard to miss; with one on pulse and the other on flash, impossible to miss. From a very great distance away from the bike, night or day.
