Freako

I mentioned in my original post that it was difficult to get the angle of the of the lights right, there is always going to be one light that is at the favored angle, the actual center of the photo is just above the BLT super doppler with the three leds. No matter what the angle I could'nt get the PB superflash to be any brighter. I was trying to comprimise and get the best relative outcome for all the lights and for the picture to reflect accurately what I saw in person, I have no relationship to Dinotte in anyway other than as a customer.

Here is another photo, with a slight change in angle.



My aim was give other riders an accurate assesment of their rear lighting options at night, as it worries me their are many people out there who just can't be seen well enough.

Your entitled to your opinion on the merits of each light, I have all three lights the Dinotte, BLS Super Doppler and PD Superflash. I've put them all on the bike at the same time, walked down the road (500m or more ) and looked at the lights from all angles in all modes (eg. flashing and full on) and have shone them at a wall where unfortunately the Dinotte completely floods the other two, so its not much of picture.

IMHO the dinotte eclispes the other 2 lights quite significantly when compared one on one, with the PB having the lowest intensity from straight on or side on (main led). I have used to use the BLT super doppler for 2 years (I have 4 of them) but the beam on them is very focused to a point, so you need more than one. The PB Superflash has a wider throw of light, but is slightly less intense as you can't focus the led. I also did'nt find the slower supeflash flashing pattern as effective in grabing my attention as the flashing modes on the other lights. The BLT and the PD superflash can be seen better from perfectly side on due to their transperant casings, but again the intensity is still an issue if you want to be seen from a fair distance.

The Dinotte is the best of both worlds as the extra power of the led gives you a bit more intensity than the BLT and the extra power allows a wider throw than the PB superflash.

You can of course run 2 or 3 BLT's or PB superflashes to get a similiar type of coverage to the Dinotte but its really the rear lights intensity and the width of that intensity that matters from my personal view point.

The Dinotte is the best of both worlds as the extra power of the led gives you a bit more intensity than the BLT and the extra power allows a wider throw than the PB superflash.

Hopefully this response has cleared up any issues with my previous post and hopefully I have not unintentionally misled anyone.
