I reckon dynamo on Brompton is a good idea, and this reason is a part of it. Like the toolkit and the pump, means you can pick up the Brompton knowing that everything you need is there without having to collate bits and pieces from other bags .
Ive got SON but with the SP setup the weight difference from reflector only is something like 250g, so barely worth thinking about.
You’ll want to upgrade the front lamp as the standard one is very disappointing.
Carradice bag you need the appropriate luggage frame to fit in the bag, then it clips onto the block same as an official Brompton bag.

This. A thousandfold. I don't have to think about what I am wearing, what is or isn't on the bike - it's just get on and go.
TBFair - I don't have a diamond mo. But I do have a Hope Vision 1 lamp with permanent residence in the C2 bag and a Cateye permanently affixed to the underside of my Joseph Kuosac saddle. It works.

I’m going to use the bike infrequently, the appeal of the dynamo lights is that I don’t need to have remembered to charge them, or fit them- the bike always has lights no matter what I have or have not done.
I CBA to roll my own setup/rebuild the front wheel/etc. I’ll likely just slap an SMP on it and call it good.
