Best available dynamo light: B&M IQ-X. With a hub dyno you could operate two of them in series, no issue for the hub dyno to deliver this power. Then you'll have at least 500 lm on the road....
That pedalcell system looks interesting, but I don’t have a good place to mount the power box. I ride a road bike which has limited handlebar space and it already has a Garmin and a headlight on it, and it seems pretty full. That’s my only issue with it really. I think I am going to get a wheel with a dynamo built into it for next winter.
Thanks for the rest of your post. Lots or material there to read and digest.
