I have only had one bike with dynamo hub lighting. I found it 2 be a bit underpowered compared 2 modern lithium ion battery powered lights. I currently use a 1300 lumen light from trek / bontraeger and a 900 lumen light from niterider. I rarely use them at full illumination but still brighter than the dynamo light on my old bike. Suspect that if i had a better (more expensive) dynamo and head light i might have had a better experience.
