Dynamo Lights

Oh damn, that's strange. I've only seen that they have protection, except the tiny one, Toplight line small, that doesn't have any.

There seems to be a lot of conflicting information. SJS don’t stock anything that will run directly from a Dynamo yet Peter White cycles has an article which specifically says that any B+M rear light post 2015 can run directly from the Dynamo.

I might be interested if you still have it...

Just confirming that a setup of a Supernova front light and e-bike 6V rear lights works with standlight function. I used a Lezyne rear light, but I guess this should work pretty well across most most e-bike rear lights.

Best method for mounting an IQX light on a fork with a hole at the back of the crown but not front?

Decathlon do a cheap one for about a tenner, makes 2w maybe? All plastic and the connectors are fragile

Im building a dynamo wheel for my dads commuter and he'd like flashing front and rear lights. From my understanding German laws forbid this and most dynamo lights adhere to German laws. Does anyone make them? Its for London only commuting, no dark lanes. Just needs to be seen by tourists/idiots on their phones

I don’t recall seeing any flashing dynamo rear lights other than the small one made by Klite, the ‘qube’ but even that needs to run through his usb charger rather than direct from dynamo or cache battery.

Flashing lights are less safe (harder for drivers to grasp your actual distance) and annoying

Tell him it’s impossible to see where a flashing light is in terms of distance. They are overbearing and fucking annoying to be going against!

What kind of fork? I drill and tapped a hole in the front of my steel fork.

i'm bored of remembering lights and i only use one bike nowadays so i'm gunna buy a SP SV-9 6V 3W.

what lights should i buy with this? I'd like a front and rear, only being used for city riding and nothing particularly unlit. Cheap as pos

B&M cyo or avy with standlight front, b&m top light line plus rear.

Don't blame me if it sets your bike on fire though.

Anyone happen to have an Exposure Red Eye for sells?

Any bracket for 50mm distance rear lights a la SON, B&M etc that you could fit so it's horizontal using the rear rack mounting hole?

Sends the light beam pattern out poorly, make sure you see one first to check!

Was that for me or for someone else? I'm going to make a fabricator create a twisted one so the light is kept horizontal and level.

I made one out of some scrap aluminium as I couldnt find any suitable options for sale.

Ignore me. I read it as you would mount the light vertical. Moron.

Exactly like that! You got any pics without the lovely mud on there?

Noobie questions on dynamo options:

• What options are there for 12mm TA dynamo hub (beside the expensive SON)?
  
• Can a dynamo easily power front and rear lights?
