found a great review and enjoyed seeing that the measured brightness was giving away only 8 lumens from the advertised brightness.
Review: NiteRider Lumina 700 | Mountain Bike Review
I haven't actually used it since it was delivered just yesterday, but it was pretty damn bright when I took it out after dark last night.
I have a pretty simple tail light. I think it runs on a couple watch batteries. I have a feeling that will be upgraded over the next couple months.
I, too, have been using the Lumina 700 for about three months now. I commute home nightly at 11pm. I have had zero complaints, it works very well. Of the "to see" or "be seen" camps, I really need to see well, and this cuts the mustard. Of course, people can see me quite well, too.
For rear, I use the Planet Bike Superflash. Works well, too.
