Each to their own.

Just put a $50 headlight with batteries on it. If you want to be eco-friendly include a $30 set of rechargeable batteries and a charger. Recommend that they carry an extra set of batteries
.
My Shimano generator hub works wonderfully. I get complaints all the time about how bright my front light is.
Theft of battery powered bike lights is a huge problem here.
