Cheers on the display port replies.
On the light front, I've always wanted a dynamo style light setup, but hooked up to a battery that can easily be removed and charged... Or maybe an inframe charger.
Re 4 lights, it seems pretty normal to me. When I commuted by bike I had decent front/rear static lights on the bike and cheap cateyes flashing on the front/rear of my bag. I understand the point of a bright front light for seeing the road when you're in places without street lighting, but ime super bright lights for being seen are just people up-selling themselves and counterproductive. In poor conditions and when it's dark they make it harder for other road users to see things - especially through a rainy motorcycle visor, but also car windows.
@Nef - I think the real solution is to make sure you have the right lights for the job which are all usb-c. Then make a neat charging setup for home, as what I'm hearing is that it is the faff of charging is what you don't like.
Make it a slick process and you won't care - eg a charger that can hold 4xUSB C cables
With appropriate length cables and an area you can plug it all in.
Then for work get some sort of powerbank with 4 ports and 4 short cables to keep it all neat.
