You would need to drill a hole for the wiring from the dyno and make sure that it was properly waterproofed in addition to adding the bridge rectifier and other electronics for a standlight. As the Superflash folks already do a dynamo version of their 1 watt headlight it should not be hard for them to do a dynamo version of the new 2 watt one.
I already have a B&M IQ CYO Senso Plus but am considering adding dynamos to more of my fleet and like good German dynamo lights, just do not like the prices they get for them.
