I do ride alot at night but not for hours at a time and have found my MiNewt 250 light with Gino mount to be a great fit. Even on the lowest setting it is bright enough to light up a dark bike path and will run for about 3 hours. Now take into consideration I am in NYC where it is rarely ever "pitch black". on the brightest setting the light is crazy bright, which i only use in high traffic situations to make sure I am seen. It is defintely a "see and be seen light". Best part for me is tha it has a built in batter, which makes it kinda large but I dont have to run any wires or anything like that. It was not a cheap light at 90 bucks but it charges in 5 hours, is sealed up tight to stop dirt and water and mounts securely.
