update: i've just ridden this exactly 345meters it has changed my life, what a fool i was to think dynamos were solely for multiday ultra adventurers and the people of the earth simply use lezyne
to see that crisp beam light the road before me, the icy black tarmac illuminated like i was at the Shanghai grand prix, the crisp edges of an artfully engineered beam. magical.
even at my pootle pace i managed to achieve maximum wattage, enough for me and a pal i would say. now one might argue, all light is the same, but there is a reason we no longer ride holding a gas lamp. compared to what i now view as prehistoric tech, the lezyne 650xl, the light of this super nova was incomparable.
the beam from the 650 watts of the the lezyne 650xl was sloppy, directionless, messy, much like my work on the first day back after xmas, in comparison, and it will sound like a cliche, the german light profile was so efficient it left me speechless, at least i attribute it to the light, it could have been the cold.
none the less
i will now be changing my voter registration in the dynamo debate to PRO DYNAMO.
