Well, I recently purchased a Dinotte 200 L helmet light, and the rear tailight, both with the rechargable batteries. All I can say is that these lights are unreal!
The helmet light is very lightweight. I use the two cell battery which is small and can give up to 6 hours of light! I tried mounting the battery on my helmet, but it's just too heavy (it is small but wow, just too much weight for the head). So, as a recumbent rider I tuck it into my front pocket. You upright riders can easily put it in your rear pocket.
The tailight is the MOST amazing light I have every owned. We can look in our mirrors and see the reflection off of the road.
To mount the lights, a helmet mount comes with it. To mount it on your bike, I highly recommend that you get the Terracycle mount. They make one specifically for the Dinotte lights, and their customer service is fantastic.
Dinotte has GREAT customer service, and when you order from their website, free shipping and NO tax!
I also use the 600 L Light & Motion front light. I have to say, this is an INCREDIBLE light. We were riding one night, and a friend drove by us. She called us later and asked if that was us out on the Rio Verde road...we said yes. She said that front light was AMAZING. Light & Motion lights are not cheap, but they are well worth the money.
By the way, a less expensive alternative tailight is the Planet Bike Superflash. Laurie clips this on her rear helmet (tandem riders), and wow, great visibility. I saw a rider with this light on during the day, and it is an increbible light for twenty five dollars.
Dinotte also makes a 600 L light, which I am dying to try. It should match the power of the Light & Motion light.
