am about to pull the trigger on this shimano xt disc dynamo hub.

https://www.rosebikes.co.uk/article/shimano-deore-xt-dh-t785-1d-disc-hub-dynamo/aid:742795

should I be worried in any way that it's 6v and 1.5w??
Most hubs seem to be 6v and 3.0w, wanting to pair it with a B + M IQ Cyo and a B + M Toplight rear brake light, will there be any issues, will the lights be underpowered???

thanks in advance

You'll need to pair it with a 1.5W optimised headlight as you'll never get anywhere near to max light output on the Cyo (1.3W after you take out the 0.2W for the rear). Would be a waste of a decent headlight IMO...

Thanks have found the 6v 3w version of it, just a tiny bit heavier and a bit bigger so will be grabbing that one instead...
