Funny, my concern is the same as yours from a slightly different perspective, I think.
I have a very active Mt Bike park near my house. When those guy's ride their bikes with helmet mounted lights they blind cars driving by. It's a very dangerous situation IMHO. You never know when a Mt biker is going to turn a corner and suddenly blind you with a flash, then just as your eyes adapt, they turn again and are gone.
Based on my experiences with them, I've decided to never where a helmet mount. The guys who put them on their handlebars aren't a problem for some reason.
Oh, and on topic - I have 1 older 100 L Dinotte, a taillight and just got the newere 200 L. These are great lights. The biggest difference between the 100 and 200 that I can see is the center of the light is fuller on the 200, so if that's not important to you, maybe an old 100 will save you some $.
I use the 200 on my trike, and riding a recumbent (like Lisa) means these lights are mounted lower to the ground and hopefully are less of a problem for blinding others.
