Don't buy the 200L for commuting through suburban/urban areas with streetlighted roads.

1) There's no option to swivel the light - you blind every other road user out there unless you point it quite a ways down in which case you don't see what you need to see
2) It's not enough light when you need to see between the dark patches between streetlights
3) Light is definitley not enough when it starts raining

I don't understand why dinotte doesn't consider #1 an issue at all. Neither the 200L or 400L have options of swivelling the light engine itself. You are stuck with whatever angle your handlebar you happen to have it attached to.

This is NOT good for street riding. Do they even ride the stuff they sell or are they just trying to move the higher priced 600L.
