Yeah, I've found myself forced to ride 15 miles home with a cheap, newly purchased, 2D cell Walgreen's flashlight taped to the underside of the bar hook -- not reassuring. OTOH, I commuted for several years the same 30 miles rt with rechargeables, and I'm hardly methodical.
The dealmaker with dynamos, IMO, is the very wonderful LED lights that have showed up in the last 10 years -- wasn't the IQ Fly an early one? And the more recent ones are even better. (My brother just built his first dyno wheel for a used Fly and was amazed at how good it is, outclassed tho' it be.) A bottle and a Fly would make a very usable and very inexpensive setup.
