    Comments about NiteRider MiNewt Mini-Plus LED Bike Light:

    A fantastic lamp. Although I feel safer with a blinking lamp for more visibility to motorists, but this thing is cornea searing. I can certainly see at least 30 feet worth of the road ahead on my commute to and from my night shift as a baker. Battery life is ridiculously long for such a small system that's that bright.

    I love it.

      I purchased this light system to use on my commute to work. It's well worth the money and I'm very pleased with it's performance. It's definitely exceeded my expectations. The light was more than adequate for lighting the pitch black paths along my commute. It can be easily mounted on your helmet or handle bar. It can be charge with the supplied wall adapter or USB cable.

      Comments about NiteRider MiNewt Mini-Plus LED Bike Light:

      I regularly commute about 9 miles one way in the early morning. I ride city streets and was concerned about seeing and being seen. The $35 LED light I was using was good but not good enough. This light really lights up the road. There are street lights along the way but some places they are few and far between. I was amazed at how bright it is for such a small size. I get a whole weeks riding on one charge so only charge the battery on weekends. If I forget to charge it at home I can do it at work from the USB port on my computer. It uses a standard USB to mini-USB cable currently used by many other small electronics, so didn't have to buy anything special. Overall it's a very good light for the price. I was prepared to pay as much as $300 for a good high powered light, so was really happy to find this one. I'm considering buying another one so I can have one on my helmet and one on the handlebars. I didn't give it five stars because it doesn't have the flashing mode and because mine is an older one and doesn't have the low battery indicator. But they fixed that with the new one.
