 Great compact light! September 6, 2010

I'm very happy with this purchase. This light has served me well on my regular commutes, especially through this past winter. I go through spots on my ride that is pitch black, and this light gives me enough light to see the path. The light with the helmet attachment has become my best friend (sad but true).
Yes, there is a halo, but that's too big a deal.
It easily lasts me seven 1-hour trips that I switch between high and low light options before the low battery light comes on.
The smart charge feature means I can leave the light to charge overnight without having to worry about the battery having any issues. I haven't used the USB charging, but it's nice to know there's that option too.
This light has been used in heavy rain and light rain, and the light has held up really well.
I just worry that this light is too bright for drivers! I get a bit conscious as I've had people high beam me (in Australia it's considered a warning, or a raised middle finger). So it's been a while since I've used the strobe option.
It's worth paying that little bit more and getting this over the 150 lumen version for a brighter light, and the helmet mount.
I hope this light keeps on keeping on! It's fantastic.

Had the switch in the wrong position while charging. Connected correctly it works as advertized.
Very bright and long lasting light. August 11, 2010

I love this light. It is rock solid and was simple to mount on my bike. The first morning I used it, I was amazed at how bright it shines. I could see signs way off in the distance and actually covered the light with my hand to make sure it was my light and not a car's headlights behind me.
It is simple to remove from its handlebar mount and recharging is as easy as plugging in a USB cable. I am impressed with the battery life as well. I usually get 2 three hour rides in before its low battery indicator starts glowing red. That low battery indicator is a very useful feature as opposed to the unit just dying.
Very great value for the money!
Great Light in Combination or alone August 3, 2010

I ride a road bike for an hour our two before work in the morning. Most days its really dark especially on unlit country roads! I use two lights. The MilIon 200 (handlebar mounted) aimed down for close range. I also use the MityCross 350 (Helmet Mounted) to project a wide and long beam. The Combination is perfect! Overkill? Maybe. With enough light, early morning rides are fantastic. The MilIon 200 projects a very bright intense beam. I can clearly view the road surface in front of me. The MityCross 350 allows me to see farther ahead. Helmet mounting allows me to turn my head to view approaching animals or obstructions not directly in my path. I can see well enough to descend windy roads at 30+ MPH.
Two lights also provides a backup. I charge them each every other day. If one battery runs out the other is enough to get me home safely. Two lights are also unmistakable to cars. Most cars at intersections wait for me. In late spring and early summer when the sun comes up during the ride - I use only the MilIon 200. It provides good visibility through twilight and stays on to increase my visibility to motorists.
In a side-by-side comparison - the MilIon 200 seems to project a brighter beam. It is concentrated. The MityCross 350 has two beams - one wide one concentrated. The MityCross 350 is heavier and takes some getting used to on a helmet. Both are well built and rock solid. The MityCross 350 charger connection is a bit more robust, it charges faster, and lasts slightly longer on a charge. The switch on the MilIon 200 is nearly impossible to operate while wearing heavy gloves in winter. I turn it on before I leave the house.
If I could only afford one - the MityCross 350 has advantages. If cost is a major factor, choose the MilIon 200. Cygolite customer service has been great to deal with too. I've had mine for almost a year and both have performed perfectly. I purchased the MityCross 350 first - then added the MilIon 200 a month later. I am very pleased with both. Highly recommended!
 Cygolite 200 - works for me July 21, 2010

Wanted a lite weight little lamp for my bike so I could see where I was going riding too and from work. My el-cheapo was OK, but miserable in the wet and burnt batteries quickly. Friends said they were happy with this Cygolite, so had a quick look and purchased on-line.
I have it mounted on my helmet and find that a good spot as pretty much where I look I can see. Also means I can look at car drivers who don't want to stop at the stop sign as I approach - they stop now and I know they can see me.
Flash mode shows the reflective objects for at least a couple of hundred meters - have not measured - but way in front, giving on-coming traffic plenty of warning. Day one (having sat on the USB charger overnight) was rainy and wow - I could see! (well the edges of the path at a minimum). Lighting lasted about 4.5 hours - mixture of high beam and flasher alternating depending on track conditions. Must have had more high beam next charge - or did not count hours, as it went dim - so rode with flasher only. Now I just plug into the USB every night too keep it topped up.
Button on top is pretty large and easy to push even on cold mornings with stiff fingers (I ride with fingerless gloves all the time), though annoyingly the cycle is High -> Low -> Flash - Off, so when you go from a lit path to unlit you have to go dark or prepare early.
Comes with warning to only use supplied USB cable which is annoying too which is why I charge every night, and final annoyance, getting the cover into the USB female socket is fiddly and skewed for charging not for use. But those are the only three minor things I have that I can critise.
I may not be the brightest light on the track, but I'm not the dimmest either - I can see and be seen in all weather and that is important - especially once I hit the road and am dealing with cars.
Cheers
