My Cygolites Never Last
I have owned two Expilions and both have failed me; and the fundamental design flaws seem to be repeated. What is really disappointing is: both were fantastic lights at first, but neither made it past 18 months (first one failed after six months). The problems: poor mount, electrical system not built to last, silly instance on using their USB cable for charging.
Problem with first light that appears on all Expilions: cheap mount. They don't seem to have improved this at all; the light rattles around in the mount. My first light actually fell to the ground when the base of the mount failed (snapped). Well these things happen and other reviews noted the failure. The customer service at Cygolite was excellent and they quickly mailed me a new, better version of the Expilion, with a supposedly improved mount. And in all fairness the new mount didn't "fail" exactly.
The new light was better, stronger, faster. But the mount was still lame. I had to super glue it to stop...

Great light. Very bright !! Good build quality.
I use this light for commuting, which I've been doing for the last 10 years. There are no street lights on the first part of my ride and the Cygolite 700 on its highest setting (boost) does a great job of lighting up those pot holes, that used to catch me out.When I get into the city I switch over to flashing mode which extends the run time and gives me great visibility. The only small con I have is the way the settings are ordered.
When you swtich the light on it is not 700 Lumens, you have to switch up 2 more times, also to get to the flashing mode you have to switch it off, then hold the button down untill it comes on, wait 3-4 sec till it goes off,then release the botton This was a little tricky at first but now I've gotten used to it. So not a big deal. I like the way it attaches to the handlebars quick and easy. I would recommend this light for commuting.
So bright!
Having already purchased the Expillion 350, I decided to purchase a second light and give my wife my old one :)
The Expillion 700 is extremely bright and also has a great battery. I can easily get 2-3 weeks out of a full charge when used daily for 1 hour per day on low setting.
I cannot recommend this highly enough, great light with a low price to match.
