I consider the Mako 100 a useful and inexpensive daytime strobing device for your bicycle. It strobes as well as my $100 Cygolite
and don't underestimate how effective a strobe works during the day. I find people stop for me all the time now when I take a left
hand turn and walkers are always raving to me how great it is to be warned a cyclist coming from so far away. I am sure it has the
ability to interrupt a texting driver who sees the flash in their eyes. Once you do a ride with a powerful strobe on your bike, you won't want to ride w/o it, unless your personal safety is of no concern you. On the night side, this light is weak and is not recommended for nigh time riding other that it helps you be seen. The Mako 200 is much better for night time use and meets a minimum standard for night time riding. The use of 2 AA batteries has many advantages such as easy to keep spares on you and
available everywhere. You can convert to NiMH batteries if you want but the unit supposedly goes 180 hours on flash which
is amazing if it is only half that. At that rate, just toss a new set of AA's in as needed and you won't be spending much on batteries. Thus, the Mako 100 is a great strobing unit that ALL BICYCLISTS should have on their bike but it is not adequate for real night time riding.
