I got my Light On! Dynolight set mounted and tried out last night. It seems to put out plenty of light and the dark zone ahead of the front wheel is much shorter than my old B&M Lumotec IQ Cyo (not the R version). I need to get to an unlighted road to really see how it performs under worst case conditions though. My neighbor did comment about how bright the taillight appeared to be. I mounted it on a rear plate along with a mount for a Superflash battery taillight directly below so I have provision for both the dynamo and a battery taillight.
I made up my own handlebar mounting bracket for the light using the latest Cygolite headlight mounting bracket set. This provides a "hard" mount which does not allow the light to move like O ring type handlebar mounts do. The light can still be quickly removed and reinstalled without requiring aimpoint readjustment.
Making the mounting plate did require the ability to accurately drill and tap 4 holes in the piece of 3/8" aluminum plate that I used for the project.
