yawn .. the ride in the dead of night or just in town IDK .. I need light year round

theres a " my lumens are more than yours" pi**ing match amongst posters play that if you wish

I don't Care ,., there are cheap generator hubs even less than Shimano's..

there is a handlebar mount Version of PB's light, that is wired to a 3w6v dyno hub , any brand.
so they come off to go in your pocket .. no battery discharge time issue.

BTW its using their 1w output too ..

knock your selves out

happily the oncoming rider had a light .. I just stopped , put a foot down so one of us became a fixed location,
so the other guy could pass on either side they wished ..

sorting out a dynohub wheel upgrade for my Brompton

shimano hub, whole wheel $99.
+ maybe $50 for the head and taillights .


as I said 2 W PB , were they recalled ? have an older 4,8v powered PB
light it s ok.. I dont ride at 18 mph at night in the rain ..

so I've lived 3 score and 6. [in spite of owning M/C when 20 something]

I got an 8w 6v Nightrider halogen light . external battery pack 20 years ago, it still works .

FWIW.. I think the other bulb+ reflector sealed unit is 15w, ..
