My parents gave me a set of these at Christmas and I have been very impressed with them.

They will run all week flashing, on my 10 miles into work and 6 miles home, on one charge. They illuminate a warning light when the charge is low.
I have used them as "running lights" during the daytime and as extra lights at night. I like to have 2 rear lights in case one conks out. My normal main rear light is an Aldi Bikemate job which is very bright and has never let me down. My normal front light is an Ultrafire Cree torch because I ride on unlit country lanes.
With most of my riding now in daylight hours I just have these little lights on the bike.
I leave them on flashing on dull days or in traffic. They have modes normal - high beam - strobe - flashing. The flashing is neither too slow nor too fast. I would use high beam for very poor visibility conditions.
They weigh very little and are the size of your average USB memory stick. They only charge via USB. The lenses make them very bright and attention-grabbing for oncoming motorists. I notice a big difference when filtering in getting noticed in rear view mirrors.
The charger point is covered by a rubber boot which pops on quite securely. The lights incorporate rubber straps which fasten to seat post, oversize or normal bars or the seat stays. They can get nudged out of alignment so you need to be careful where you place them.
Overall for a set of "get you seen" running lights, these are spot on. They will give light for a slow ride on unlit roads but that is not their ideal environment at all.
