The new LED dynamo lights are as bright as high-end battery lights were a few years ago, and the German lights have well-engineered beams, making them more useful on the road than battery LEDs, or so I've been told. And the price has dropped considerably, too.
Therefore, I'm considering making the leap to a dynamo. What's your setup?

BF loves the MagicShine but I agree with the reviewer .... it's antisocial and dangerous and contributes to strife between cyclist and motorist.
