You might like to check this comparison of dynamo efficiency [1]. The Shimano
has as much drag with the lights off as on! It's missing the BM [2] models
though, which is a pity as they do a 12V 6W bottle model with a claimed
efficiency of 70%, beating even the Schmidt. The LightSPIN had a

If you want something effective for emergencies or extended periods away

power a mechanical device is probably more effective. For cycling a good
dynamo will provide more, and more reliable, power than any bike-mounted

A normal bike dynamo has 6V and 3W so that would be 2A of current. I
think that should be plenty even with the losses through conversion to
5V DC. (Depends of course how fast you are going with your bike ;))

Well, I think it's much more useful than solar charger than you tested.
It's really not that convenient when I'm out (biking, mountain
climbing). If I carry SC018,SC019,SC20, just waste a lot of time for
charging the internal battery. Apparently, I like keep my hands on bike
