MiNewt 600 Cordless

Just bought and installed this light, and took it out for a test spin around the neighborhood. This is a "middle of the road" led - there are quite a few lights more powerful. It is amazing what they have done with led tech in the past few years, the whole dang road was lit up in front of me like it was daylight. Relatively inexpensive too

I bought one, too. Am also impressed with how much light this throws out from such a small package. I've been a little disappointed with run time though. Would be curious to see what your experience is. Btw, I usually run mine on the middle power setting. On full power I had too many cars flashing their high beams. I went for a ride last night. The LED indicator on the top of light went from green to green/red after 1 hour 20 minutes on the middle setting.

I bought it to replace my year-old MiNewt 200. One of the advantages of the new light is that the beam is spread out nicely, whereas the 200 was pretty focused so now I'm thinking of using both, with the 600 on medium (or even low) and the 200 on high. My early morning commutes are less than an hour, so I don't anticipate charging issues. So I may use the 600 on high to see if I can get motorists to flash their lights too!
