DiNotte Pro Series Lights

The use of proprietary batteries in lighting systems is a large complaint among cyclists. Too many lights permanently fail after one season due to the chemistry of the proprietary NiMH or NiCad batteries used in value priced lighting systems.

DiNotte Lighting USA introduced high powered lighting systems using standard rechargeable batteries nearly three years ago. Technology advances of LEDs and batteries have made this option even more practical today.

All Pro Series lights use AA rechargeable batteries. The adoption of standard NiMH rechargeable batteries means customers can replace batteries at a moment's notice.

Pro Series lights also work very well with lithium disposable batteries, and in an absolute emergency alkaline batteries can be used for very short run times to get you home.
