Front dynamo light.

I have a new Union bottom bracket generator that I am considering fitting to
my Galaxy for some night riding in the future.- I might have a go at a
300km Audax before the end of summer and I'm not fast enough to complete the
distance in daylight.

Which fron light would prove to be a value for money purchase?

Please don't suggest anything that invokes the Yorkshire war cry of 'How
much???!!!'

B&M Lumotec, think it's about £15.
Lumotec Oval is generally considered a better bit of kit, and is £19.
Add about £15 to either for a standlight option, or alternatively just
get a cheap one LED white flasher for your bars to do a manual operated
variant.

Don't go for half measures now, spec the 1203DR for that extra #25 worth
of purpleness!

current rrp is 8.90 euro's. Note that this is the basic round version
without switch or standlight or fancy packaging. I still have old stock
for 7.95 E

It's an ugly bugger, isn't it? I like the technology, but there's no way
I'm going to put a lump like that on one of my bikes!

That's not the real problem for me, it's more that it won't mount onto
the same brackets in the same space as the lamps I've got on the 'bent
and the Brom. Bah! (still, think of the money I've saved ;-))
