set out at 7:40, very fresh day, lovely autumnal morning sunshine, on with the deerstalker hat to keep my lugs toasty. coming home at 4:30 the sun was on the wester so a chance to try my revised homebrew lighting system, after the morning ride's charge had run down my lights seem a bit dim. ok it's a 1963 sturmey archer dynohub and it only kicks out 0.3amps but thought it should be brighter as i have 3X 0.1amp bulbs; 2 tail lights, 1 head light, dynohub run through a rectifier, capacitor and 5X 1.2 volt ni mh batteries wired up in parallel a la sheldon brown. took a bulb out of one of my tail lights and it seems a tad brighter but hoping i won't blow a bulb on the high speed downhill going to work.
