with the advent of led lights, it probably makes a lot less difference, but they were low output hubs, and the lights of the day weren't very good. So my point was that rejecting current offerings based on 40 year old experiences doesn't make much sense. Apparently dynohub is a registered trademark from back in the day, don't remember if it belonged to SA or not.

I'm hoping to get an SA 3 speed/dynohub on the road soon, I've never lit anything with it yet, hoping not to have to replace the magnets. I never had any doubt that it would light up an led headlight, I'm a little concerned about adding a tail light, but we'll see. I think the worry about it lighting an Edelux comes from a misunderstanding about how both things work. The dynohub output voltage will increase until the current it wants to supply is flowing. So will definitely light up an LED. Maybe not that bright, depending on the current.
