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.
JurekB-
I just have the 300 and a saddle mounted light. Both last for many hours, my Mrs has identical and we have cateye lights for other bikes only been caught short once to date so I’m happy without a dyno.
For my commuter I’ll be having one, simply because day in day out use in the winter, one less thing to worry about.. cleaning the bike and kit is enough

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.
