My mate is getting a dynamo for his commuter/tourer. I know about this B+M front light with USB charger:

But my friend is interested in cheaper options. What is out there?

[url= http://www.cycle2charge.de/index.php/de/ ]Cycle 2 charge[/url] topcap and a £10-£20 cache battery? Charge the battery while riding and top the phone up at night, will work better than charging the phone directly!

No need for a battery, our touring normally involves a B + B lol

How about one of [url= https://www.rosebikes.co.uk/article/axa-luxx-70-plus-steady-auto-front-light/aid:642351 ]these[/url], self contained and about half the price

Don't see many, I've had one (in true STW fashion) on my tourer for 4 or 5 years now. Hasn't missed a beat, I can plug an IPhone lead straight in and it just sits and charges. The light is ok for road use as well.
