Great value for money
Pros: Good Fit, Great Value, Lightweight
"I have just purchased this light and have been borrowing the same light from a friend who purchased there's from wiggle.
This light is awesome.
It fits really snuggly to the handle bars, the battery pack is the biggest bonus because it is small, it just sits nicely on my cross bar. I dont have to worry about a huge batter pack in my bottle holder. You can leave the light on all the time its not noticable or bulky. The light lasts for hours and charges via USB cable on the computer.
I ride at 5am in the morning and it has been very dark. it throws out plenty of light particularly on the sides of the road. Not sure who good it would be riding through the bush though. It is bright enough for cars to dip there headlights.
It is a good buy because anything similar to buy in Australia will cost me another $100 on top of what I spent on this light"

Shining Light
Pros: Attractive, Great Value, High Quality, Lightweight, Rugged
"I looked at many lights and read many reviews before I opted for this little light - and I do mean LITTLE, it is very tiny indeed.
I wanted to have a light that would see me ok for commuting and night riding/training and this is just the thing.
Installation was easy and quick - mounting on the stem beacause the cable is not long enough to put the battery pack on the frame, the beam is brilliantly bright and more than adequate for night riding but for night trais I would use a 2nd helmet light also, battery life is around the quoted times of 3hrs and to be able to recharge from a USB is very handy - remember to fully charge the light when it first comes.
Overall as the stars say 5/5 Great.
regards"

Great light
Pros: Lightweight
"I did a lot of research before buying this light and one of the reasons for getting it was the ability to plug into a USB port. This is very handy, comes with a USB cable and also a wall socket cable in case you don't have a PC/laptop available.
The light is very bright compared to my old Cateye halogen bulb and comes with 3 different sized O rings to attach to any sized frame/bars etc.
The battery pack is lightweight too and attaches anywhere on the bike with a great velcro strap.
Overall, highly recommended."

Nice but don't get wet!!
Posted July 10, 2010
First impressions are great with this light it has a nice WHITE (not off white) light which has a good range of light, ideal for off road riding even if it's a rather tight beam.
unfortunately after several rides out in the wet it developed a fault, probably due to a faulty seal which left the light turned on, but only just enough to see it. (almost like a reflection) due to this fact and the problem of only one setting, I couldn't recommend this light.

On a plus point I ordered 2 and the 1 is still going strong after approx 8 months of use.

I can see clearly
Pros: Adjustable, High Quality, Lightweight, Versatile
"Bought this light for commuting on quiet roads where there are no street lights, not only does it spread enough light as you are riding but because it is clearly seen by oncoming cars they dip thier lights so I do not have to be blinded by them. It is easily fitted and removed when parked at work etc and is small enough to just drop in bag without having to worry about space. Charges up great with USB port making it even easier. Also have used it for night ride on 7 stanes at Newcastleton and it worked really well, with a widespread of light but also a good centre focus to help spot obstacles on track. Really pleased."

Great value on a budget
Pros: Great Value, Attractive, High Quality, Lightweight, Good Fit
"Well presented unit. Limited mounting options presented by short cable and battery casing if your bars are starting to get full like mine. Very simple to operate with single on/off button. Easy charging from USB for those who dont have the correct power adaptor for charging (will buy one soon though). Green/Red light indicates status when charging. Lights up street well with no other traffic around. Can be harder to see when traffic lights are in your eyes and is raining.
Am very impressed with the output from such a small and light unit, and significantly cheaper than other rechargable options."

Very Convenient Light
Pros: Great Value, Attractive, Comfortable, Rugged, High Quality, Adjustable, Lightweight, Versatile, Good Fit
"The compact size and the level of output make this light a very good purchase for the afternoon to early twilght commuter.
Run time is only 3 hrs so its best suited for the mornings when it gets lighter or in the afternoon when the light is dimming down.
So its size and ease of fitting onto the frame and handlebars make this a excellent purchase. If you are doing longer rides in the dark go for an extra setup but this is very good for getting you on the shorter rides 30 mins in the dark to home."

Quality light for early morning rides!
Pros: Great Value, Attractive, High Quality, Adjustable, Lightweight, Good Fit
"I bought this light for early morning winter riding and it is perfect for that. It gives just enough light to safely make out obstacles on the road, and to be more visible. USB charging is very handy. Great value, and will definitely buy Niterider lights again."

"Latest in a long line of lights however this turns night in day. Easy to mount on the bike, the battery pack is easily removed because it is attached with velcro and charges via mains power or USB lead. Easy to see LED indicates when battery needs recharging and it charges overnight. Best light I have ever purchased."

MiNewt off road performance
Pros: Durable, Great Value, High Quality, Rugged, Adjustable, Lightweight, Good Fit, wide beam for led, easy to fit and adjust
"My off road club rides evenings all year requiring lightweight reasonably powerful lights with minimum 3 hour runtime.
I was looking for a small spotlight giving a beam wide and long enough for off road use particularly in the trees where my previous twin LED was too directional when manouvering. I didn't want to pay over £100.
This LED fits the bill and came in well under my budget. Excellent purchase"

Light up my life
Pros: High Quality, Adjustable
"For the size and weight this is a great light. I use it for early morning (before sunrise) rides and the beam has good brightness and spread. Battery life is acceptable at about 3 hours and being able to recharge via USB from a laptop means one less battery charger around the house.
Its easy to mount and swap from bike to bike too.
Its easy to mount and swap from bike to bike too.
Two things I would like to see improve are:
- a battery indicator that showed the amount of remaining charge. My unit only shows green when fully charged and red when charging.
- a flashing mode."

Bright and compact light
Pros: Great Value, Lightweight
"Bought this for commuting in the winter. It's bright enough that I can ride at full speed on roads without street lights that I know well.
The battery is a little too long to fit under my stem, where I would have preferred to mount it, so I've had to attach it to the frame.
This light doesn't have a flashing mode, so I bought a mini LED flashing light and use both to ensure I can see and be seen."

"The NiteRider Mini is Mini only in title it punches well above it weight. It throws out a great light giving me perfect vision which is a must on our group night rides. I now have cars dipping their lights because the NiteRider is so bright. Also the speed at which my order was delivered It was faster from the UK to Australia than some parcels delivered in my own state ( which is the size of the UK). Great service."

Super Bright
Pros: Great Value, High Quality, Adjustable, Lightweight, Good Fit
"This light certainly does not look like it would do much but when you turn it on........wow! When I have had met up with friends, they have commented that they thought I was a motor bike the light was so bright. Well worth the money, and the recharging is great as some lights can suck the life out of batteries which can make them quite expensive to use. These lights go for aout $250 in AUS so the price is excellent too. Well worth the purchase!"

Beautiful little gem...
Pros: Great Value, Attractive, Rugged, Lightweight, Versatile
"I was in desperate need of a GOOD light for early morning rides but did not want to spend a heap of money and found this little gem!
The 110 lumens is plenty to light up the road in front and riding side by side with lights that cost 4 times the price of this one could not tell any difference. Added bonus is the ease of being able to recharge this light on your PC if you're a desk bound person like me once you get into the office! Much better than having to deal with replacement batteries and cumbersome wall chargers... as if we don't have enough!!
This is a simple and effective light for a very good price.
The improvement that would be handy to see down the track in a future model is some sort of indicator to see how low you are on battery, but other than that this is perfect!! Would buy this one again and recommend to others without hesitation."
