    I have a MiNewt 250 with a rechargeable battery (comes with a USB cable to plug into either your computer or the wall to recharge). It has 250 lumens either solid (high-medium-low) AND strobe. Runs around $130

    I love my MiNewt 250. I often ride at 5 AM before work and I live in an area that has almost no street lights; dark and narrow country/suburban roads. I also don't have such great night vision and having this light gave me a feeling of security in getting used to riding in the dark. I have another light that is more of a "be seen" light to use in a more well lit area and it just doesn't compare to the MiNewt. In fact, I have had drivers flash their lights at me, indicating that my light was a bit too bright for them!

    I have two MiNewts on my recumbent tadpole trike and a Dinotte 200L on my Trek hybrid. All three lights have different levels of brightness on steady mode, plus a flashing mode. The Dinotte has several flashing modes. I like the Dinotte because you can use 4 AA batteries. I use Sanyo Eneloop NiMH rechargeables. They are about the best rechargeable AA available.
