I was under the impression I was getting a decent commuter light with this hub dynamo powered light. Ruh roh!
I have the non-T model (non-nearfield, no DRL feature). It's pretty good, especially in an unlit environment. Some people like the close-in light of the R versions. I'd rather see further out front, so I got the other type. I think my S-Mini XP-G is pretty much a match for the Cyo, though. 110 grams with mount and battery, ~300-350 lumens on high... makes a nice add-on.

Been looking at the Cat-eye hl el135, but reviews say it's not enough light
Nonsense, it's perfect... for getting to the bathroom without tripping over the household pets
