Lack of confidence in wiring, gives a choice between a light that can't be seen, and may not be working, or a cheap reliable battery light.
Back light uses very little power.
Non familiarity with stand lights.
You can buy rear lamps at Poundland.
Despite all these issues, I have just upgraded to modern dynamo lights, front and back and it is an improvement.
But I don't know what I'll be doing next year! -
No idea!
But it worked with the battery and now works with the nasty cheap shimano hub. I'm converted. I've always earthed through the frame but I'm hopeful that this set up will be trouble free.
Went for a ride just now and the road was on fire! Stand light works, which is worrying because now if I pop in to a shop I leave a beacon outside.
Only downside is that having no warranty I'll have to carry battery backups, but I would probably need to anyway. -
I bought Ali express light set, front and back for less than a cheap rear light elsewhere guessing that if either works I'll be quids in.
I plugged them in to a battery and they both work, nice and bright. I have yet to mount and wire then up and see if they are waterproof, but they should do a season or two and they come complete with all wires -
Isn't this dangerous in cross wind? ; )

Is there any front rack that I can fit to a standard steel road frame using mudguard eyes and pea clips?

A month, that's quick by my standard!
Glad it worked out. -

Hi,
I hope you worked this out, would be interested to know if the transplant took.
From what you said it sounds like something is broken.
I tend to walk my 3 speed up Anerley Hill, or dodge on the train through the tunnel! -
I've not posted here for many years, but looking at all these recent pics I can't help scratching my head and thinking. ..
"What's wrong with panniers. ..on a rack. .. over the rear wheel? " -
Sorry
