Best Bicycle lighting

Dynamo or battery…Basically, there are two different ways today to equip your bike with effective lighting. So even today the well-known dynamos are very popular. As a rule, these are mounted directly on every newly purchased bike, as long as it is not a mountain bike or a racing bike. City, touring and Holland bikes are almost always equipped with a dynamo and the appropriate lighting. The advantage of this lighting is obvious: Since it is a closed circuit, this lighting is always and everywhere available. Since modern LED technology is increasingly being used for bicycle lighting with dynamo, the lamps are much brighter compared to older versions and thus illuminate the paths much better. However, the bicycle lighting by means of dynamo also has disadvantages. For example, much more power is needed because the dynamo develops a certain resistance on the wheel. This additional load is particularly noticeable for inexperienced drivers. Another big disadvantage: At the traffic light, at a crossing of the road or similar, the bicycle lighting goes off, because without movement of the wheels no electricity can be produced. The other alternative to bicycle lighting with a dynamo is electric bicycle lighting. This only works with integrated or additionally inserted batteries or rechargeable batteries. Thanks to their easy and simple handling, they are usually assembled within a very short time and can be used directly. The advantage of this bicycle lighting is above all the very high luminosity. Depending on the model, the lights are significantly brighter than, for example, a normal bicycle lamp operated by a dynamo. In addition, the electric bicycle lighting with rechargeable battery lights up permanently, i.e. even when you stop at a traffic light. In addition, there is no need for additional effort, as there is a separate power source. However, this technology also has its weaknesses, of course. If the battery is empty, the bicycle lighting will no longer light up. If this happens during a ride in the dark, only careful pushing helps. It therefore makes sense to always have a set of suitable replacement batteries or accumulators with you when using electric bicycle lighting. So you are prepared for every situation. However, as a rule the luminaires always have a display that warns the user in good time when the energy of the batteries is slowly but surely diminishing.
