Yes. I'm saying different strokes for different folks, which makes more sense to me than arguing that one's way of doing things is better for others. You like charging in the day. [MENTION=21724]cyccommute[/MENTION] wants to avoid it. I don't like it, either. I like never charging my headlight, and dynamo lights are bright enough for me, but they're not bright enough for him. That's OK because he doesn't mind charging at night. See, the different parameters have different weights for different people. More light would be a bonus for me, but I'm not willing to pay for it with a regime of nightly charging, while you and he don't mind that. Super reliable clamping or mounting are important to you and me but he doesn't mind improvising his own solutions. See, you and he and I are just three examples of various mixes of different weights. Lumens per dollar seem to be important to him, a little less to you, and a lot less to me, and that's another example. It's all an engineering puzzle to choose the best light for a person's situation and needs.
