Looking for a bit of advice on Dynamo lights, my current winter road/cx/touring bike has a front dynamo hub, which I had previously only used during tours for charging phones/garmins.
I've recently been riding alot in the evenings, in the dark, and would love the simplicity of not having to worry about plugging in batteries etc.
So, whats about/whats best, looking for both a front and rear light.
Looking for something suitable for unlit backroads, and has a good beam pattern not to blind oncoming drivers.
Thanks!
There are a few LED dynamo lights available that put out a light that's good enough to allow you to ride on an unlit road at a decent pace , if you go on the St John Street cycles web site they are very much into that stuff . I always used a LED rear as if you run a rear off the dynamo it takes 0.6 watts , leaving you with 2.4 instead of 3 to power the front .
Have a look at Beam patterns/spreads [url= http://www.peterwhitecycles.com/headlights.asp ]here,[/url]
I've went for a Schmidt Edelux II for the front and a [url= http://www.bike24.com/1.php?product=100104;dbp=11;page=2;content=8;navigation=1;menu=1400,1410,1411;lang=2 ]Son K920 seat post rear light[/url], Haven't tried them yet as bike has no cranks/cables attached but they seemed the best option.
Happy with my b&m iq cyo
I went for the Exposure Revo & redeye. I prefer the beam pattern of "off-road" lights and have used them for commuting for many years (Lumicycle HID, Hope Vision 4, Hope R4)
