Raveman CR-500. Designed with a cut-off beam pattern in mind so as not to blind people using typical paved trails. Charges with typical USB phone charger. Comes with a quick-release mount so easy to take with you. Includes a removable wired remote so if you wish you can change modes from the remote button. When off the mount it easily slips into a pocket.
Personally I've been a dedicated night rider for about 20 some years. I'm used to lamps that output more light but this little light gets the job done. I'm not sure it's an actual 500 lumen on high ( maybe 400 ) but so far I've not had any major problems while using it. $49.99...includes shipping I believe. Vendor service has been well reviewed...
Thanks for the tip, I may try that myself. I've been looking for an MUP-friendly light. While the Light & Motion is very bright and well suited to my rural rides, it's not quite right for the MUP. I've been swapping my Serfas SL-255 between two bikes for it's more concentrated beam with less spill that might blind oncoming cyclists and pedestrians on the MUP at night. The Ravemen looks well designed for that purpose, and nighttime group rides with friends.
