6V lighting solution

[snarlofdisgust]

Trying to find a good battery free lighting solution that doesn't have me buying a dynamo hub. What does everyone think of these?

For this one I bet I could get it to run off the motor somehow...just have to find a way so that it doesn't interfere with pedals.

I'll let you in on a little secret. In about 4 weeks time, Wonderful creations will be releasing a 12 volt Platinum Series "combined 5 amp generator and electric start" kit, complete with optional 8 amp lithium battery and 12 volt cigarette lighter style power outlet socket, to run 12 volt appliances, should you ever need a 12 volt power supply to run a lap-top, or GPS device or recharge your cell phone, or run an electric air pump or heated clothing or even a 12 volt car kettle to make a decent cup of coffee on a long journey.

Naturally the generator/starter motor combo will run LED lights.

what kind of cash for that system Fabian?

 

[Fabian]

Oh that's easy to answer: you get what you pay for.
If you want a quality product that's born out of a new and innovative design, someone has to pay for the R & D in the final unit price.

If you want to acquire this product, then you'll do whatever you have to do to make it happen, be it, getting a second job or selling your body on the street.
I'm desperate to get this new "must have item" and prepared shred every aspect of my moral integrity to make it happen; selling my body on the street for a few weeks, because an honest paying second job just won't make enough money.

Well, seeing how I just spent 450 on some decent safety gear I'm not really too concerned with price. I just want it to work when I bolt it on.

They make this kit, but it needs a battery which tells me you can't use it for extended periods.

because I want something that works doesn't mean I'll pay anything they ask....why would it

 

[Fabian]

The reason why the new lighting kit hasn't been released yet is because they want to make sure that it will operate with bullet proof reliability.

Don't make assumptions about the new kit when you haven't seen the specifications.
Just keep your wallet stuffed with 100 dollar bills and be ready to claw other peoples eyes out to be the first in line when it gets released.

Naturally because i've been the driver making this new project happen, i'll be the first in line to get the new combined generator/electric start unit.
It's going to be a sensational bit of kit!

I've got a few more concepts that i want to bring to fruition and Wonderful Creations is prepared to get the ball rolling because i'm putting "money up front" to "make it happen", and i don't care how much money it costs to make it happen; even if it means selling my body on the street for a few more weeks, then so be it.

because if you want the best and are prepared to pay for it, money isn't the obstacle preventing acquisition of the product. It's scarcity that prevents you from acquiring the product; people then clawing each others eyes out, paying whatever they have to pay to get a high quality low volume "must have" item.

The new combined generator/electric start kit is a high quality low volume "must have" item.

Racie35 You might want to join me, selling your body on the on the street, but it will be worth it
