the new 600 lumen minewt is kind of a joke. in the real world they only run 1-1.5 hrs on the highest setting. whats the point of a supposedly bright light that i have to charge for 5 hours every 2-3 days?
Sounds like the cygolite rear is a good light but anyone considering it should know that it is not as bright as the dinotte 300R. I couldn't find the output on the cygolite site but assuming you are correct at 100 lumens the 300R has an output reported on the dinotte site to be brighter than the 140R at 120 lumens and not quite as bright as the 400R at 240 lumens.
Not sure where you're comming from regarding the "hassle" of charging a minewt for five hours - I plug mine in and go to bed. Is there something else I should be doing ?
