In one of my bags of 'bike stuff' that I just haven't tossed yet is an old Sears headlight/tailight setup. It utilized a large headlight that housed two bulbs, a circuit board and 2 'C' batteries. The tail light also had two bulbs. Power was powered by a Japanese bottom bracket generator and the batteries. When the speed is slow enough to dim the bulbs, the battery is supposed to power the second set of bulbs. Nice idea but the headlight tended to be too heavy for it's mounting bracket. The generator bulbs are 6v, .45a and the tail light is 6v. The battery bulbs are 2.5v front and 2.2v rear.
The generator has a toggle that has to be put it place prior to riding. It does not have the seat switch. I guess I have kept this stuff because I liked the idea of a generator light with battery backup. I do not know how it can be assembled into a simple unit. I have spare front bulbs as well as a Union 6v, 2.4w halogen/standard headlamps. Is this stuff junk or could something be made of it? I know there are fancy high dollar systems available now (internal hubs) but I cannot afford new wheels at this time.
