There's an ebay shop who sell dyno wheels all built, bundles with lights too, really fast and easy and cheap. Bought the basic lights & 26 wheel for a present, has a pretty basic shimano hub but it's fine. They do B&M setups as well. Can't remember the name but it's been talked about here or on the dynamo hubs thread by @cornelius_blackfoot amongst others.

Edit: Shop name is partsforbike-online.

@M_V Thanks, good to know

The bundles they do look good, but the light sets that come don't suit my needs -
So if I was to go for a wheel like this:

Then I'd need any light set that worked on a 6v right?

Pretty much.

I bought my lights from Rose, spent a bit on the front (£40 ish I think?) and glad I did as the light is fantastic. It's the IQ Cyo something or other. rear light I just went for a dirt cheap B&M number and again, it's fantastic. Think it was about £7 and it's super bright.

Probably worth chucking a few extra connectors and shrink wraps etc into your order too.

Yes, I do believe 6V for that hub. The 3v ones are a funny shape and generally black, and have MTB branding like 'LX' and such like.

+1 for the B&M mid-range front lights. Excellent stuff for the money. And if you're running a rack, the rear 'Toplight' range are just excellent.
