    HUb dynamo lights

    I am a big fan of hub dynamo lights and now have them on all my bikes. My favorite are Busch & Muller D-Lumotecs, which havevery bright LEDs, almost like a mini-headlight on a car. They have a standlight feature so they stay lit for several minutes after you stop riding, and they can connect to a dynamo-powered tail light so you are visible from both directions. I love not having to deal with batteries. Apparently dynamo lights are very popular in Europe.

    Thumbs up Dinotte Lighing!

    I gotta give a HUGE thumbs up for Dinotte as well. (http://www.dinottelighting.com )

    I have two of the 200L lights -- one for handlebars and one for helmet, and I'm using the Li-on batteries. I LOVE them, and their customer service is extraordinary. Their lights are available at REI and Nashbar, but if you order directly from them, you get extra batteries and who knows what else they'll throw in. Rob helped me put together the exact package I needed.
    For 3 days, I get to part of a thousand other journeys.

    I"m a busch & muller fan myself, especially since they're within my price range The engineering is **awesome** - the light gets bright fast, even at low speeds (it's bad when conditions are iffy, you slow down... oops, that's *less* light!) and the lens is really good at sending light to the right places.
    Now, my bike shop man has to figure out how to make the on/off switch work... (I'm afraid it may be a compatibility issue with the hub itself).

    The lights are excellent, I used to have something similar for my bike. Great work!
