I submit that on or about Fri, 19 Aug 2005 09:12:24 -0400, the person
known to the court as The Wogster <[email protected]> made a
statement (<[email protected]> in Your
Honour's bundle) to the following effect:
>>>I doubt it would take much to feed the output of a hub generator into a
>>>trickle type charger that charges a small battery, then have the battery
>>>power the lamps, giving you the best of both worlds.
>> No need: modern dynamo lights are available with built-in standlights.
>But think about it for a second, the argument against dynamo lights is
>their low power (no matter how you look at it, 3Watts at 3V is pretty
>dim). The problem with battery systems is that the batteries, go flat.
I use dynamo lights on unlit roads at night; the problem is largely
illusory - 3W works fine, and a 6W (12V) series setup on a SON hub
works fine at speeds of up to around 30mph.
