The MiNewt Mini USB uses the latest LED and battery technology to create a full-featured, yet even more miniature sized, lighting system. Weighing in at an incredible 175g and with 3 hours of brilliant illumination the Minewt Mini is suitable for both on and off road use.
The MiNewt Mini-USB utilises a glassfibre reinforced plastic casing that is tough as nails, yet as light as a feather. The light is captured and focused using a specially developed reflector and low-loss borofloat glass lens to ensure it produces over 110 lumens of bright usable light.
The newest version of the MiNewt Mini-USB now features a battery charging indicator! No more wondering if your battery is fully charged. This new feature will keep you updated with the charging status of your battery, switching from red to green when the battery is fully charged. All other features remain; 110+ lumens, Li-ion battery, and USB rechargeable battery pack make the Mini unbeatable in its class!
About Front Lights
Cycle light technology has moved on greatly over the years, traditional 'bulb' lights have been more or less replaced by LED and HID systems. Battery, lens and reflector technology has been improved greatly resulting in brighter and longer run times. Wiggle lists a large selection of bicycle lights suitable for lit streets in the city, or unlit country lanes and even bike lights suitable for off road riding, ranging from around £8 to over £300 they vary greatly in purpose and performance. Tiny LED's with flashing or constant modes are great for being seen in built up areas, whilst rechargeable systems can keep the road or off-road trails lit up for non-stop riding at night.

Magazine reviews for NiteRider MiNewt Mini USB Front Light
Review from MBR
A very useful, lightweight and compact unit that should be more than adequate for commuting and light off road duties.
We tested the Mini-USB Plus which, for an extra £15 over the standard, comes with a helmet mount. We reckon it's this position that is this light's forte, so it is well worth the cash. With a very effective beam pattern, tight but not too late, it is ideal to helmet mount and supplement a bar set or even use on its own at a push. The only drawback to that set-up is the battery pack-mounted switch – not very accessible when stowed in your hydration pack.
It is remarkably bright, with its clean white beam rivalling products that claim twice the lumen-count.
A unique feature appealing to the deskbound commuter is the ability to charge from a USB socket on your PC, a very handy tool if you don't have ready access to mains sockets near your work place.
In conclusion...
Usefull, lightweight and compact
Rating: 9/10
Review from MBUK
The MiNewt Mini is the smallest and cheapest light here, but it's more than just a basic back-up. Its shrunken head unit and separate Li-Ion battery design mean you still have the choice of a bar mount or head mount. Pay £15 extra for the 'Plus' version rather than standard and you get the head mount and extension lead included. It's so light you won't even realise you are wearing it.
The light output isn't massive, but the well focused centre and workable peripheral spread mean you can ride reasonably confidently in most conditions. The battery mounted on/off switch can be a a pain to reach unless carefully mounted but the light lasts a impressive three hours. There's even a USB cable for computer port recharging.
In conclusion...
Top value, versatile micro light with useful output for helmet or back-up bar duty
Rating: 8/10
Review from road.cc
Lights just seem to get smaller and smaller and brighter and brighter. At this rate, in a few years they'll be brighter than the sun and invisible to the naked eye. For the time being though we'll have to make do with units like the MiNewt USB which kicks out three hours of super-bright beam and weighs less than your race saddle.
The MiNewt is marketed as a commuter light so before I go on to remark on its goodness I'll have the usual gripe about it not having any side visibilty. I mean, light manufacturers, how hard can it be to put a couple of windows in the side. As it is you'll need to run an LED flasher as well if you want to be safe (and legal).
Anyway, back to the good stuff. The beam is very bright: 110 lumens is the claimed output, and while I can't vouch for that empirically it's certainly as hot as other lights I've tested with similar numbers. The beam is focused in the centre with a dimmer halo, which is more or less perfect for road riding: you get most of the light pointed at where you're going but with some spill to give a bit of peripheral vision. It works well as a head torch too (you'll need the plus version for that which costs an extra £30, either that or fashion a mount yourself) and is a great supplement to a bar-mounted light off-road.
The USP of the USB is that you can plug it in to your computer to recharge it via any standard mini USB lead, so there's no need to remember where your charger is (it does come with a mains charger). It takes about four hours and the button on the battery goes green to let you know when it's full. As far as convenience goes it couldn't be better, there's no excuse for a flat battery if you use a computer at work. The USB port has a waterproof cover and the lamp lead is pretty well sealed too. Of course if you don't use a computer at work you may have a slight problem.
Fitting the light is easy: the battery attaches to your stem with a velcro strap and the light is held on with an O-ring. There's a bit of side-to-side movement in the light mount if your bars aren't straight and the whole system can be securely fitted in about 20 seconds.
In conclusion...
I really like the MiNewt for the convenience and beam power that it offers. It's super-light and a fuss-free way to get some decent illumination if your commute or training schedule requires it. It's a pity there's no side visibility for town riding.
