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!
