For me the only proper way of lighting a bicycle is with a
rechargeable battery. The LEDs get clean DC and the battery can be
recharged from any source, even a pulsating one. That way the
lights will not dim to "stand light" or go out when waiting at a
traffic light. Why should bicycle lighting be inferior to car
lighting?

What F-ing world do you live in where you recharge the lights on your
car? It must be a pretty F-ed up world. On all the cars I have
driven, you turn the switch and the lights come on. There ain't no
recharging the car lights. Rechargeable lights and batteries. Why
not just duct tape a flashlight to your bars. Then you can stop at
any convenience store and buy some new D batteries and ride forever.


Did you ever hear of a ... Tesla? Or Nissan Leaf. Come into the 21st
century :-)

I used to run side roller dynamos for re-charge during rides but now
that we have Li-Ion I find that no longer necessary.
