And the amount of drag doesn't make a difference to me, but of course if you measure it, there will be a difference. I just can't feel it. Mine is a Sanyo, if that means anything in the conversation.

Anyway, you've often listed reasons you like battery lights. I understand them, and I understand they work for you. Dynamo lights are better for me. You're cool with that, right?
I have no problem with dynamo lights...for other people. But people say all the time that there is little to no drag caused by them which is patently untrue. Adding the equivalent of 4 kg of mass is significant in a sport where even normal people agonize over grams.
