We tested the Knog Blinder 4 lights yesterday. The front light was pretty average, but the back one was 14th out of about 60 rear lights - not bad.
I noticed there were a couple of 'lesser' flashing light modes (that didn't flash all four LEDs at once). If you used one of the lesser flashing modes, you might get more than 10 minutes of use after the low battery indicator comes on. Worth a crack.
I've got a Knog Blinder Road like this one

Good light but the mounting strap broke when I had it on my seat stem after a few months and I now have it cable tied to my backpack. It's also now not holding charge as well, have to recharge it every two days. I ride about an hour and a half every day (to-from work) and use it on flashing mode only. I've also got four of the small Knog Blinder single LED's, two red ones on the back of my helmet and two white ones for extra flashiness on my handlebars supplementing the Moonshines? etc I already have on there. They seem to be holding charge OK and the mounting straps are a bit more robust (although I somehow lost one of the front ones going up Queen St about a year ago, had to replace it).
Also have a Moonshield on the back of my helmet, great light apart from the mounting clip which broke within weeks, its now attached with cable ties
