I would have sworn that you said this:

What I do know, however, is that LED bulbs (Light Emitting Diodes) must have DC in order to work. .......
So if the generator hub is producing AC then there is a bridge rectifier somewhere, either in the hub itself, or in the housing of the light, but you cannot present an LED light bulb with AC, it simply won't work. ......

If I'm mistaken,, then I apologize.
