I think the B&M lights come with bare wire ends, which you can just wrap round the dynamo terminals. It's possibly marginally less reliable than soldering spades and heat shrink, but it requires little fettling, and if it ever goes you just strip a bit of the wiring back and reconnect it.

Does the bike have a bottle dynamo mount bracket already?
If you’re mounting it on the rear wheel you’d normally have separate wires from the dynamo to the front and back.

For not too much more why not get a hub dynamo??

@Tijmen
I'm trying to piece together a light setup for my partner's bike that is as cheap as possible and very easy to install. Currently have my eyes on an Axa 8201 dynamo.
For the backlight I plan on getting this AXA rearlight and this wire to connect that, might be a bit long but I can just loop the excess back and forth and then not have to solder?
For the headlight I was thinking this Busch + Müller Lumoteq which should come with an unspecified wire, what can I expect there? Will I need to crimp on spade connectors to that?
