I have had a Son Classic dynohub, on this page
http://www.peterwhitecycles.com/schmidt.asp
(not made anymore, the newer ones are supposedly much better!)
and an edelux front light

I recently added a rear toplight flat s plus as here:- http://www.rosebikes.co.uk/article/b--m-toplight-flat-s-plus/aid:450592?gclid=CM3M6c_et7kCFTLMtAodrA8AkA
difficult to get here, but very cheap and pretty good
I leave them on all the time, and never notice the drag (it is minuscule)
It means I can carry a small battery powered light for off the bike, and also have a rear battery powered led light which has the same batteries as the light, so I have a source of spares in needed.
I have used the dynamo for years, including several winters commuting, and lots of touring. I reckon if I advertised it all for sale now I would get back most of what I paid for it. Not that I am going to!
