My bike is equipped with a Schmidt SON hub dynamo, Lumotec Oval Plus front light and Dtoplight Plus
rear light.
Last night, my front bulb blew. Fortunately, I had a spare. Unfortunately, it appears that when the
front bulb blew the entire voltage from the dynamo went through the back light, blowing the LED. And
it appears that this is not designed to be replaced - looks like the unit's knackered.
I had thought that both lights had overvoltage protection. But I just downloaded the Dtoplight
manual from http://www.bumm.de , and it specifies that this is not for hub dynamos. Bummer.
So, can anyone recommend a rear dynamo light with standlight that won't blow if the front bulb
blows, or at least one where I can easily replace the bulb/LED if necessary?
