I just got the RC-N3 and the RC-G4. THe RC-G4 seems to be the brighter of the two and it has a flash mode. It's just on/flash/off. It uses 2xCR123 or 1x18660. The two lights are $16.99 and $17.60 at Deal Extreme. I ran it for the first time this week and it's much brighter than any of the $30+ bike lights I've tried from Performance. It worked pretty well with the $1.99 mount at DealEx also (http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.8274), especially if you loop the strap around the handlebars for security, as the mount has an open top. I'm pretty happy with the flashlight, but still felt like I could have used more light. These were purchased as gifts and as a test case, and now I've got a positive take on these CREE flashlights, for very little outlay.
