They have since discontinued that model and now sell the [strike]Lumina 650[/strike] Lumina 700 as its replacement. (Just checked the website. The highest power Lumina is now 700 lumens.) The Lumina series is also a self-contained, usb chargable light. A word of warning about NiteRider: they can't seem to design a decent handlebar mount. They are "crap". The old snap mount is too lose and moves when hitting bumps in the road, or the new screw mount scratches the paint on your handlebars with its screw. I "fixed" the problem by adding a handlebar extension and mount the light on that. It's ugly, but works. (This is with 31.8 mm bars on my various bikes.)

p.s. I have a NiteRider Pro 3600 DIY for nighttime riding. More than one automobile has flashed their highbeams at me because that light is so bright. Expensive, but does an awesome job, especially if you are riding in the upper-teens, or faster, in mph's.
