Sorry for wasting your time for a couple of questions everybody knows the answer to on this forum but me. I temporarily mounted my first Dynamo light and rode with it for a few miles to try it out this morning at a low/moderate pace. My first question is: Is it ok to ride this light without a tail light connected(Lumiring)? I'm assuming it has overvoltage protection...Yes? . Which leads me to my final question: When I complete the install on my new bike, which will be a while, will I notice a reduction in light quality with the tail light attached?

I was impressed with the amount of light(fork mounted) that it puts out. My usage for this light will be mostly under 20mph.
