Sometimes we need to stop analysing the past, stop planning the future, stop figuring out precisely how we feel, stop deciding exactly what we want, and just see what happens.
At the end of October I took a bit of a chance and ordered a new type of dynamo light from www.magtenlight.com, a company based in Hong Kong.
I couldn’t find much about it on the web, but I thought someone has to be first and it wasn’t that expensive (and ok, I’d had a couple of glasses of wine!)
Edit: was about €65, though I see it’s now €99
I’ve been using it for about a month of regular commuting now so it’s time for a review.
It’s a bit Heath Robinson, but for someone who isn’t organised enough to have good batteries or keep a rechargeable charged, and who can finish work 3 hours or more later than she expected to, it’s fantastic. I really hope my worries about durability are unfounded.
I don’t know how it would compare to a hub-dynamo performance-wise as I’ve never tried one, but it was cheaper and easier to fit.

Shirdi Sai Baba: "Before you speak, ask yourself: Is it kind, is it true, is it necessary, does it improve upon the silence?"
Whenever you commend, add your reasons for doing so; it is this which distinguishes the approbation of a man of sense from the flattery of sycophants and admiration of fools
