Mako 2-Watt Commuter Light - 130 Lumens

The problem with mini, commuter-specific lights is that many of them are just barely bright enough to make you visible, and there's not much chance they'll actually light your way on the road or trail. The NiteRider Mako 2 Watt Light not only makes you visible to the tune of 130 lumens, but will shine a path along a dark road that you'll be able to follow without fear of hitting potholes or curbs.

Nite Rider worked in conjunction with the Cree to design the emitters for the Mako 2 Watt Light. And good to its name, it offers a 2 watt LED that can run for 25 hours on high without a battery change. A lower setting will guarantee you 50 hours worth of light time, and if you like to set your headlights to flash, you can squeeze out 200 hours of run-time.

Since all NiteRider lights are intended to make you as visible as possible, the Mako makes the best use of its small size by emitting a red light from "gills" along the sides of the lamp. This will mean that motorists will be more aware of you even when coming at you from an angle. At just 165 grams, you'll hardly notice any added heft to your training or commuting machine. The Mako runs on two AA batteries, which are included with the light. With many of the advantages of larger, more expensive light systems and none of the drawbacks, the NiteRider Mako 2 Watt Light will allow you to see and be seen without costing you a fortune. It can be mounted on the helmet and handlebar.
