  • Hopefully a simple question... will a 2.4 W dynamo hub sufficiently power a front light?

    Specifically, I'm looking at pairing this cheapy Shimano hub (https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/392281228871) with a B&M IQ-XS. No intention to run a rear light as I only feel comfortable using blinking rear lights (except in group rides).

    Motivation is an approx £80 hub+light setup vs the £300 or so SON I'd planned. £220 would be nice not to spend. Google has led to some real rabbit holes so any help would be grand.

  • Yes, 2.4w will be fine for modern led lights (even if you add a rear) but not so great if you’re wanted to add additional load eg for battery charging.
