I agree. Once I thought about it, I realized that I couldn't justify NOT getting a Dinotte light.

However, I really can't sit here and claim that it's not overpriced. There's no reason in the world that someone couldn't make the exact equivalent to the Dinotte 140L for $50 or so, and thus my suggestion to wait to see what Geoman comes up with.

Their headlights (really all name brand headlights, these days) are certainly overpriced given current parts costs in the world, and they have already adjusted a little and I expect them to continue to. I'd like to see something like the MagicShine but in a more durable version (like, a REAL, waterproof, heavy duty wire, clone of the Tesla 4) for < $150 - it could EASILY be done - all they really need is heavier duty wire, connectors and a sealed plastic box for the battery. Heck, they should be able to do it for only another $20 or so; a plastic box, 3 connectors and decent wire shouldn't cost that much.
