NiteRider MiNewt.X2 Dual LED Reviews

Description: (from niterider.com)
The MiNewt.X2 Dual headlamps combine for a blinding 300 lumens of light output. The dual headlamps with independent mounting permit “stacking” light beams for ultimate beam pattern flexibility, better night riding performance and adds a layer of safety and redundancy. The X2 Dual incorporates all the great features found with the single X2, with the advantage of double the light

Having two actual light sources is great for customizing what in front of you gets lit up based on what you're doing. Cons Almost too bright- even on low, these overpower my 10W TrailRat helmet light which means you should have a pretty bight helmet light if using these on your bars. No way to mount somewhere other than the bars. No storage bag included in packaging (though these fit in my TrailRat bag with it). No way to only use one light. Verdict While a little on the pricey side for handlebar only lights, these work great as a complement for a helmet light for mountain biking, and work equally well on a commuter or road bike in the dark. Don't try and use these as your only light mountain biking as not having a helmet light will really slow you down.
