I have dynamo lights on a couple of my bikes. I love them. They are very reliable. I've tried various dynamos, and I find that I prefer the hub kind. It takes more money and work to get them going, but it's worth it to me. I barely feel the drag from the hub. It's so small that I run my lights day and night. Another benefit of dynamo-powered headlights is that they are designed with a new beam shape that has a cutoff at the top of the beam.
