I have a very powerful headlight and do not need a dynohub light to light my path but I woudn't mind having a dynohub driven blinking headlight and tail light that is always on just to be seen at all times. Has anyone heard of such lights that will run on strobe with a dynohub?

It seems to me if you are going to use blinkys that battery powered ones might be best -- a dynohub is a lot of infrastructure just to avoid charging batteries occasionally. Blinking lights just dont' take the power that unblinking lights do.

I like having lights that are always available on my commuter. I don't think there are a lot of blinking lights for dynos.

Dynohub for a flashing light would be using a bazooka to kill a mosquito. Reelights would cost about one-fourth as much and give you what you want.
