Any problems with light bulbs burning out too fast? Any problems if you ride 20+ most of the time?
Just the Supernova lights are on the hub. Typically what you can get from a dyno is a 2.4v for the headlight and 0.6v for the taillight. You can run a twin headlight on most systems, but you'll have to go twice as fast to get them to full brightness.
With modern LED dyno lights, there's no worry about lights blowing up/burning out from high speeds, plus the burn time on an LED light is something silly like 100,000 hours so you can just leave it on all the time.
