You need to look again at more modern stuff because many dynamo
hub standlights are quite bright for the time they stay on usually
a ferw minutes or so if needed. But then again absolutely NOTHING
ever works for you off the shelf.


Wrong, it does and I have written about it here in the NG. I bought
a Cree XM-L based light each for the road bike and the MTB. Of
course, since almost nothing in the world of cycling is very robust
or complete this had to be spiced up. Both lights got diffusor lenses
because they will otherwise blind others and the light distribution
wasn't to my liking. Big deal, you just buy diffusor lenses and
install them. Then the battery holders are lousy. This took a little
more work but nothing that can't be done with a trip to the hardware
store and basic hand tools:

You just proved Sir's point. Well done Joerg.


Huh? I made it quite clear that my solution works. It does very well.
