How long is your commute? I try to stick mine on charge mine when I get home/work or for half hour before I head out if it's running low. I find the battery life lasts well enough and it charges from 0–100% in 2 hours.
6 hours would do me about 3 days, so not a big issue. Just a bit of a surprise since my rear lights using 2 AAA rechargeables last a couple of weeks.

bare in mind that 'low' is still blindingly bright
But the whole point of low is to avoid being blindingly bright, shirly ?

No low setting on this light, just standard. 20 lumens. :)
The Moon Shield is an awesome rear light and at £35 it's very reasonable. Small, USB rechargeable, well built, super waterproof, built-in bag clip, fantastic power if necessary and has a well designed, strong, easily removable and detachable rubber strap.
It has 5 modes, a standard 20 lumen steady mode, high 40 lumen steady mode, "overdrive" 60 lumen steady mode and two high-power strobe modes. A steady 20 lumens is perfectly fine for riding at night with others.
Like Apollo said though, it has great side/top/bottom visibility, that accompanied with the fact you can angle it in any vertical direction is great – even the high-power/strobe is perfectly fine for night time riding with others if you angle it downwards (which also has the benefit of nicely illuminating the patch of road directly behind you).

(also somtimes use it as a pretend microfone wen i have a sing-song lolo)
Oh cool, that's not just me then that sings out loud while cycling.

I just got an rsp meson rear & a rsp arc front light, after years with a few knog frogs on the bike I'm quite impressed, not to heavy, pretty neat, the rear sits on the seat stay, bloody bright aswell, went for a ride quite late last night & cars were actually passing me wide, which around here is unheard of.
Cheap aswell, shame they run aaa tho -

Was thinking this for the rear?

- 1 for Moon Mask and Shield.
Been messing around with Knogs and the like for ages. I now have drivers and cyclists commenting on how bright the lights are. Added to that they are easy to fix on, secure, waterproof, very bright and run off USB.
I realise this has all been said before but they really are fantastic.
