Mine work fine from walking speeds. They produce more light at higher speeds, but at slow speeds you don't need it, because you're not moving fast. That's my experience too. The last time I recall not having enough light at low speeds was in a dark campground with a pre-halogen dynamo light with lousy optics. That was about 1980, IIRC. With the modern LED dynamo lights, it's never even come close to happening, even at walking speed. -- - Frank Krygowski |
