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)
Agree with others on here that the dynamo lighting is worth it. If you use your brommie for commuting even sparingly you'll really notice the difference. Not having to remember to charge and attach/remove lights is a godsend. I think the cheaper option you can plum for does a good job if you live in built up areas. For me the front light wasn't powerful enough in the winter months, but I live in the sticks and found it hard to spot road detritus when at speed.
On your superlight qn, well I used to own a S2L superlight with the cheaper dynamo lighting system. I sold that bike and now have a S6L with upgraded SON lights front and rear, and am much happier. I only commute on mine.

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

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.
