Strengths: USB charging means not having to drag a charger to work. One-piece design makes getting it on and off the bike a simple affair. Comes with a helmet mount, usb cable and AC charger. Feels well made.Weaknesses: Beam spread is not as wide as what I would want for a mountain bike bar mounted light.Bottom Line: Well, I got sick of wires everywhere on my commuter bike so I decided on an 'all in one' light. Saw the Mininewt and it appeared to be exactly what I wanted. Not too big, must be around 500~600 lumens, QR connection to the bar or helmet, well made. It replaced a Magicshine 900; this Mininewt on high beam appears brighter in the center with a narrower beam. The Magicshine does better as a wider spread and would do well on my MTB, where it will be moved. It recharges with mini-usb, which means I can connect it to my computer at work to charge-so I can run it on high if needed then top it off at work. The mount is a simple squeeze lock/unlock and the light can be swiveled. For commuting it's just about perfect. For mountain biking I would prefer a wider spread but it would make a great secondary helmet light. The blink mode is way too slow to use on the bike IMO (they call it 'walking blink' mode.) Happy with it so far.
Similar Products Used: Magicshine 900. L&M Stella 150 which is my commuter helmet blinkie.
Bike Setup: My beater commuter bike, a Fuji Newest frame/fork built with 105/ultegra.
