My first Dinotte was a 400r tail light. I had heard so much about the 140r, I went to buy one. Seeing that the 400r was available, I figured more is better. Only disadvantage to the 400r is no quick release mount.

Dinotte's are awesome. My niterider trinewt went in for warranty service, and I realized that this was just the excuse I needed to buy some more Dinotte. Now I have the Dinotte 800/400 front package. 800 handlebar mount, 400 helmet. With the 800 on low or medium, I use the helmet on high or medium. With the 800 on high, I usually leave the helmet light off (its there for backup). Of course, the 400r tail light is on low continuous with high power flash. Seriously bright from any direction, people think you are a motorcycle from real far away, then don't know what to think when the get closer, and usually leave you lots of room once they figure out what you are and pass.

It is expensive, but the package deals on the Dinotte website come and go, wait for a good deal on the components you want. The quality is superb, the service is excellent. And if you kill off your batteries, its only like 40 bucks for a new lithium ion replacement, niterider wants $200 for a trinewt replacement battery.

edit: how would a minewt be run in the rear, red lense or cover?

Double edit: consider buying an extra charger from Dinotte if you buy all three lights at once (handlebar, helmet, tail light). Its a lot easier to keep the batteries juiced up that way. Tail lights on low continuous and high flash last a real long time.
