The E3 is not designed like a low beam. Just a round, bright light. I would think that even on a handlebar, the light should not be overly bothersome to other folks on a trail. It's not nearly as bright as some 600 lumen lights out there. (There is a local commuter who uses that on the road and it totally blinds me.)
On the lubrication of the Shimano - don't believe it's an easy job to pre-lubricate the dynohub as there are wires inside that can easily break with removal. My shop mechanic doesn't like messing with them. The newer Alfine hubs are supposedly better. My wife's Shimano dynohub is dying slowly due to corrosion of the terminal strips where the wires attach. Because of the grounding circuit one gets quite corroded during winter. It might be possible to solder on a new copper strip to keep things going. My scraping to get to good copper has just about worn through the strip in about 4 years.
