I am currently invested in Dinotte AA rechargable lights front and rear augmented with a Fenix L2D strapped to my helmet on the infrequent rides I do where I'm coming home in the dark.

What I would like is some type of Dinotte front/rear setup where I could have on/off control switches for both lights mounted to the handle bars or low on that forward arching riser. I'd also like the lights to be wired to some type of recent tech battery pack mounted under the seat.

I like the compactness of the Dinotte design, the brightness of them suits my needs and I'm not interested in bulkier lights that might be less expensive.

Does such a setup exist anywhere? I'm not inferring that I'd need to incorporate my existing Dinotte gear.

Thx

Mike

here is what I did. I just cut into the extension wires to put a switch in. and the batteries are stored in the bottle. simple and easy. I had this wired so I could use two or three battery packs in parallel so I did not have to change them so often. with the dinotte lights you just get some of the 9v battery wires and plugs to work with. be sure to reverse the wires on one.
