niterider minewt mini-usb - packed in completely, 11 months old.
Contacted supplier (wheelies) who were very helpful asking me to return it so they can get it back to the distributor for examination and finger crossed repair or replacement.
fwiw, I liked it while it was working, only gripe is that the headunit casing has a kind of hood around the lens which shields it from view by the rider - means that it if cuts out (as mine did) or if you just run out of battery power - you may not even notice immediately (e.g. if riding on well lit streets where your own lights throw may be less evident).
thought i'd take a chance on a magicshine from dealextreme (the single lamp one) - got an email last night saying it was shipped, hope it doesn't take too long from that point, as I'm having to use a blinky light of one of my kids bikes at the moment which is not filling me with confidence (although i guess I should now question why I'm happy to let them ride with it...)
