You guys that are really in the know is the Dinotte 400L dual Headlight worth the big bucks that you have to pay for it. Almost every thing I buy these days is off the Internet including bike accessories and sometimes the product is not quit what i was expecting. its hard to tell sometime without picking something up and actually looking and feeling of it before you purchase it if its really what you want.

I have 2 fenix L2D Q5 flashlights one on my bars i use in the blinking mode and one on my helmet. They do a pretty good job but i would like to have something that would flood the road a little more. I think I would like to have the Dinotte 400L dual Headlight on my helmet with the fenix staying on the bars in the blinking mode. It dose an excellent job with the blinking. What i think i need is more light down the road and don't mind paying the money for the Dinotte if it will serve me better.

what do you guys think---I need your help in helping me decide---thanks

If you get it, I think you'd be better served with the Dinotte on the bars and the Fenix on the helmet. You want the more powerful lights pointing in the direction the bike is heading.

I have the 400L mounted on my handlebars. It floods the road quite well and is easy to use. I use a Princeton Tec EOS on my helmet to supplement and have Dinotte's 140L tail light.

I think it's worth the money. You get two batteries and some of the best support in the industry. In fact, if you buy it and it does not live up to your expectations, you can return it. So you really have nothing to lose.

Anything Dinotte makes is worth it. I own a 600L and 140L and I just bought the 400L for my helmet. I haven't got it yet, but judging from the two other lights I have of theirs, it will be awesome.

I wrecked the flange and lens on my 140L because of improper mounting. My fault. I contacted them and told them it was my fault, and what would be the replacement cost. They sent me two flanges and two lenses for free. Immediately. No emails, no questions, just arrived two days later in the mail.

I am constantly asked where did I get the lights. I have them on all the time in the flash mode, day and night. They are built well and they give off exactly the amount of light I need. The price is forgotten long after the satisfaction remains.
