 Powerful light in an easy and small package Jul 14, 2010
On my bike when I Night commute, I could not see due to the lack of a concentrated bright Bicycle light so I looked into the CygoLite Milion 150 HeadLight after I fell 50 feet into an abandoned mine shaft (luckily no major injury, as it was a flooded mine); it had the best specifications (Durability, cost, easy rechargeable battery, Run Times, no wires or external batteries, Flash mode) when compared to Light & Motion Vega 200, NiteRider MiNewt Mini 150, and DiNotte Lighting systems 200 Lumen AA Bicycle Headlight 2009 Model.
I wanted an All-in-one design which required no wires or external batteries and a good run time.
I emailed CygoLite to ask about the LED Output (Lumens) Low-Brightness specs (Run Time 6 hours) since the High-Brightness Run Time is only 3 hours and I needed more Run Time but with decent Brightness.
They didn't answer me and got all paranoid about it, competition is tough it seems (NiteRider just came out with a VERY similar durable one-piece, Rechargeable bike light, the MiNewt 150 Cordless).
MiNewt 150 Cordless - 150 Lumens (3 Light Levels - High/Med/Low/ + Flash Mode)
(Run Times: 3:00 hours High / 4:00 hours Med / 6:00 hours Low)
(charging Time: 4:00 HR)
(System Weight 190 grams)
retail - $99.99
vs
CygoLite Milion 150 - 150 Lumens (2 Light Levels - High/Low/ + Flash Mode)
(High-Brightness Run Time 3 hours/Low-Brightness Run Time 6 hours)
(charging Time: 5 hours)
(System Weight 130 grams)
The NiteRider MiNewt 150 Cordless looks very suitable and I'll probably get it soon since it has 150 Lumens plus a medium Light level Mode. It wasn't even available at the time I got the CygoLite Milion 150.
I was doubtful of buying the CygoLite Milion 150 HeadLight due to that abrupt rudeness from CygoLite customer service but I bought it anyways.
I'm glad I did. All the reviews are accurate about every detail. This is a good, powerful light in an easy and small package. If I need more Run Time, CygoLite even sells a spare rechargeable battery for retail - $40.
Light quality wise, the Milion's 150 lumens is very bright, on a dark trail, it is too bright, it is even a little brighter than I am accustomed to so I use the Low mode. It does have a tiny halo on the outer edge of the beam but if you're looking ahead it won't bother you. If you're specifically riding in a long, dark tunnel, a long, dark section of road that passes under another road or a railroad, or a long, dark underpass, it will bother you a bit.
The Low mode is adequate for a dark trail and is a lot brighter and more focused than my Planet Bike Blaze 2 watt LED Headlight. For slow riding through the city the Low mode even seems comfortable.
I like the single piece design. I like the bright power and the "swivel" use of the mounting system for going around slow, dark corners, to look for people walking at night, or to "swivel" to the right in Flash mode on a paved bike lane to make cars approaching the stop sign, aware of your presence.
The Headlight uses a decent mounting bracket that is notably effective (aside from it being a cheap, $3 piece of plastic). It fits very well on the handlebars; also, I ended up using a cut up old tube to help keep it snug. I am still able to tilt it back and forth (up/down) for use in high/low beam (level it down towards the street and reflective street signs in front of you) and flash mode (level it up towards car traffic) by not tightening the mount all the way (check/tighten the mount often so it doesn't completely loosen or fall off the bike) (Also check/tighten (or add glue) the attachment of the quick release screw mount on the light itself often so it doesn't completely loosen, since the Headlight loosely "swivels" to the right then). With the "swivel" use of the mounting system for "left and right" and the tilt "up/down", the Headlight has a very good range.
The light is exceedingly fantastic with reflective materials, especially on dark residential or dark city streets with reflective street signs, reflective street posts, reflectors in street bumps, reflectors on parked cars, reflective animal eyes (most nocturnal animals have reflective eyes), reflectors on moving bikes, reflectors on fences, reflective materials on moving trucks/cars (Fire trucks, Ambulances, Police cars, Airport Vans, postal vehicles, Delivery trucks, Towing Trucks, Freeway service trucks, city Bus, taxi, Big Rigs, etc.), reflectors on postal boxes, etc. It really helps avoid some moving or stationary, dangerous obstacles in dark areas.
The Flash mode is SUPERB. It causes everyone to look at it, it shines and is visible on stop signs for at least 30 or more long residential blocks. If you are in very bright city lights, it's best to use the flash mode but level it up towards car traffic. People even think you're a Bicycle cop so they are more "cautious".
The "flashing" mode bright flashes are very disturbing if you're on a dark trail while you are riding, but the "flashing" mode even lights up the path too. If you have Photosensitive epilepsy, AVOID it, the "flashing" mode patterns are high in luminance contrast (bright flashes of light alternating with darkness). I nearly passed out afer a few minutes on a dark trail with it on the "flashing" mode.
I use the Milion 150 for dark trails, and on brightly lit city streets; I use a combo of high beam, low beam, and flasher. Be sure to secure the Milion 150 in its mount with an audible "click".
I'm really pleased with this light, I hope it lasts at least 2-8 years. I'd like to see a better cover for the Rechargeable port on the light since it's very cheap and rain will eventually leak in; it's also very hard to cover it back up when you're done with Recharging the light.
In all, an awesome light.
I also bought the Milion 200, which FEATURES the LED Output of 200 Lumens vs CygoLite Milion 150 - 150 Lumens.

Great price and light ! Jul 08, 2010
The light is very nice. I was really trying to decide between the 200 and the 150. I chose the 150 for price and after reading another buyer comments, I would have to agree. The light is plenty bright enough. The light also holds a nice charge. The flashing option works great in daylight to make drivers aware when your coming up on them to prevent them from pulling out in front of you.

Best Value for the Money May 29, 2010
This light is fantastic. With three settings (high, low, and flash) the light can be used in many applications. I mainly use it at night and the illumination of the 150 on high is sufficient, even in very dark areas. I especially like the quick rechargeable Li-Ion battery, which is encased in the light as opposed to some other lights where there is an external battery connected via a wire (these other lights require you to mount the battery & light). The single mount of the 150 is easy to install and adjust. The light slides off the bracket when not needed, but the bracket stays on the bike. I did a lot of research and could not find a better light for the price.

Incredible light May 11, 2010
My husband loves his new light. It is very bright and powerful. He loves the strobe setting and strobes everyone who comes to visit with it. This turned out to be a great product for him. Thanks

 Cygolite MiliOn 150 Dec 06, 2009
Great size and power - I was really surprised how compact this light was but impressed with how much light it threw on the road. A group of us do group road rides for base miles in the winter and this light at $99 is a great buy. USB charge is a plus. The only minus I have is the thin rubber seal around the aluminum head pops out occasionally when you run your fingers over it. It taps back into place but one of these days it may pop out when you don't want it to.
