Strengths:    Very bright, with a great beam pattern.
Light weight, mounts nicely on a helmet with no bouncing.
Battery mounts nicely on a frame, or fits well in a pocket or camelback.

Weaknesses:    Short battery life on High.

Bottom Line:   
I've used NiteRider HID lights (a Storm and a Moab) for about 10 years, with 100+ days per year under lights either biking or skate-skiing. I've tried a couple of earlier LED's, but found they didn't stack up to the HIDs in light output or battery life. I was curious to try the latest LED's, and got a good deal on the Pro 1800 a REI. I've now used it about a dozen times, and am impressed. The light head is about half the weight of the HID, which is great on a helmet. It puts out much more light on high, with a wider and more even beam pattern. The mid-level 800 lumen setting is fairly equivalent to my Moab, but the LED is putting out more useable light with the broader beam. The High setting is impressive, especially in inky dark damp woods which just absorb light. The medium setting is fine for most riding and climbing, and I save the High setting for the fast stuff.
The downside on High is the short battery life, getting maybe 75 minutes on high at 10 degrees F with the battery in my camelback. By comparison, I get about 4 hours on my Storm, and over 10 hours on the Moab, though these batteries are about twice the weight of the Pro 1800's. But, when it's really dark and gnarly, I love the extra light.
