hub dynamo "be seen" light setup

Hey guys,

I was wondering what you'd consider the best bang-for-the-buck hub dynamo. I ride a recumbent and the front wheel is 20".

I'm looking to set up a "be seen" as opposed to "see" light system. I commute daily and in the mornings I leave before dawn. There's enough light for me to see where I'm going but with a black bike on pavement I want some lights to draw attention.

Right now I have 2 blinkies on the back (generic knock-offs Portland Designs Radbot 1000's) and a 12V 20W halogen light on the front (MR-14's like you might use in house spot lighting but running off a LiPo). I know I can't get that much power out of a dynamo hub but a few bright focused LED's I think might draw more attention than that single bulb...

Thanks,

Philip
