I've bought a couple dionettes. They are very bright. I've adapted a 6v water bottle battery and a 7.2v NiCd RC battery to use since they last much longer between charges and are easier than 4 AAs to charge.
Easier to charge than 4 AAs??... I charge my 4AAs in 15 minutes. Duracell 2650 mAh batteries. I carry an extra set that is charged or an extra set of "hybrid" batteries that retain there charge when not in use. I love dinotte lights though... saving money for the tail light and the new 600L headlight (currently running a 200L headlight)
