There is one light setup that I haven't seen mentioned yet that is worth a
look: The Schimdt Dynamo Hub and DLumotec Topal and E6 headlights. I've
used this combo at speeds of 30+ mph descending mountain passes at night and
felt quite safe. There are no batteries to worry about. Negatives are
weight, need to build into the wheel and cost.

Subject: [OBRA Chat] Lights & Rear Lights

I have the combination of the Dinotte 5 W Front LED light and their 3 W rear
light. I set up my commuter bike with an old 10 W NR Halogen & the Dinotte.
I quickly realized that the Halogen was redundent in the city and just use
the 5W dinotte LED. The halogen was not needed and the off white light with
the clean white LED was distracting.

I can't say enough about the rear light. You could put it on the front and
ride with this as a headlight it is that bright. It is expensive and needs
to be recharged after my 25 miles round trip commute, but well worth it.
There is NO WAY they won't see you!
