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.

Comments about NiteRider MiNewt Mini-Plus LED Bike Light:

I have been commuting in MN for 15 years. It gets very dark here this time of year. This is the best headlight I have ever owned (though I have never paid the multi hundreds for multi light systems). This light is very bright and the battery lasts for several commutes (a few hours of on time). I like the mounting method on the handlebars as it can fit easily on varying sizes of bars and over bar tape, etc. But what I like the best is the light weight. I can put the light AND the battery on my helmet so I no longer have a cable running down my back to the battery. Yippee! Having the light on the helmet allows me to quickly flash it in a windsheild if I'm not sure a car sees me, or look ahead in a turn when the bike isn't pointing that way just yet. I think a flashing light of this brightness might be distractingly anoying for motorists.

Comments about NiteRider MiNewt Mini-Plus LED Bike Light:

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.

I Bought This Light After My First NiteRider Light Died On Me After About Ten Years.The Main Selling Point For Me Was The Helmet Mountable Feature.My First Light Was Great,But I Got Tired Of Looking One Way,And The Light Was Pointed In Another.I Dont Even Notice It On My Helmet When I Am Riding. Ya'll Did Good In Making This One.

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.
