Bright lights?

I looked at the Nite Rider line, too, before settling on the Dinotte. Hard to choose; both have great features. My Dinotte 200L came yesterday and I charged up the batteries right away. (Mailman probably wasn't even down my driveway yet....!) It's been raining like mad, so I haven't put it on the bike yet. But I shone it out the door into the backyard to see what could be seen. Whoooooaaaa! The light itself is TINY, but the beam it puts out is incredibly powerful. And taking it on and off the bike is ridiculously easy. I can tell already that I'm going to love it! Can't wait to try it after sundown on one of my favorite quiet roads outside of town.

Finally got a chance (excuse?) to try my new Dinotte 200L tonight---just 3 miles zipping around the neighborhood. Love it! I'm not a fast rider, so can't imagine outrunning the beam. Combined with my usual blinkies and tail light, it's definitely a winner!........Those of you who have the AA version, do you charge up the batteries and store them in the battery holder (disconnected from the light) until use? Or is there a good reason not to store them in the battery holder, e.g. reduces battery life? From what I've read, the newest NiMH batteries hold their charge pretty well between uses.
