Dynamo lighting is good especially if on the bike for a long ride in the dark. I ended up taking rear off for the reasons @amey mentioned and left front one on. I then ditched the front wheel altogether...always keep cat eye volt xxx in the bag.
Superlight makes a negligible difference on the commute. I race the brom world champs with a sl-x - marginal gains innit. Then get smashed by the pro racers.

So i have been having a look through the Brompton stock bikes with the home delivery within 3-5 days options.
I have been leaning towards an M6L superlight in raw laquer but ideally want dynamo lighting. (just because I have never had dynamo before and the lack of recharging all the time appeals to the lazy in me.)
The closest option on there is an M6L in that colour but not superlight nor dynamo
Is the dynamo lighting worth it? or should I stick with conventional battery lights?
similarly anyone that has a superlight, is the extra weight saving making you go faster? is it stronger? (im not light so strength is a very real consideration)
Tried to get in contact with SJS to discuss my options - answerphone on main number and appears to be closed apart from mail order for the foreseeable.
Called my local Evans, knew not a lot about the covid scheme and just said I could order and pick it up from them.
