Tim,
What are the lights that you're using with your Sanyo Dynapower?
Jim, I am using a Busch & Mueller Lumotec with 3W halogen bulb. This
is the unswitched version because there is no need for a switch using
a tire-driven generator that's not turning when not in use; with a
hub dynamo, a switch is good. The one I use does not have a
"standlight" that stays on for a while when you stop; that's the
Lumotec Plus. I have a switched Lumotec Oval Plus for my bike with
the Schmidt dynohub.

I got mine from list member Jim Thill's shop, Hiawatha Cyclery.
While I find that this produces plenty of light for long rides in the
dark (dusk to dawn), I do plan to upgrade to an eDelux LED lamp. The
reliability of the LED lamp is appealing, and they are apparently
much brighter than the halogen bulbs.
Another option, if you're handy with a soldering iron, is to build
your own LED light. There's a lot of information on the Web about
this and it could be a fun project.
