What do people think of these options against each other and also compared to using normal battery lights?
Many thanks in advance.
I have been fine with a battery operated light. I keep a battery charger at work and at home. Cheap, simple and effective for the mostly lit trip back home.
Regarding the front dynamo hub, my understanding is that only certain models are designed for small wheels. You might want to double check before purchasing one.
