I'm glad I came across this thread. The last couple years I've been using one of NiteRiders entry level rear lights. Because of the reviews and statements regarding the CYGOLITE Hypershot 350 I decided to go for it and pick on up. It was delivered just a few minutes ago and all I can say is WOW! The 350 lumen capacity of the Cygolite compared to my 80 lumen NiteRider is (excuse the pun) like day and night. I'm sold.

[MENTION=506482]Ralphinca[/MENTION], please don't use a front-facing red light. White is for front, and red is for rear. The wrong color is a "lie" and a disservice to other road users. Headlights are generally brighter than taillights, so if you want a flashing light to be seen, most headlights have a flashing option. And it's a good idea. I've received compliments from motorists on my flashing headlight which isn't even that bright. Motorists appreciate the early warning.
