Those Miller taillights are really nicely made. I'm pretty sure it's made in England like the rest of the Miller gear. Beautiful chrome.
I set up one of those Miller sidewall dynamos a few years ago, running LEDs fore and aft. I took it out for a midnight ride and the light was amazing. About a mile out, the dynamo started screaming like a raccoon stuck in an air conditioner and after another hundred yards the lights quit. I don't know if the LEDs put too much draw on the dynamo, or if the 50+ year old bearings on the dynamo just weren't up to the job.
