Re: [RBW] Talk to me about Dyno power/lighting

There have been a variety of generational changes with the Luxos-U. I believe it was the first generation that had the USB charger port built into the handlebar switch; this was the generation I got from Rivendell two years ago (with my 10% birthday discount, which made a luxury purchase more

Im also wanting to dyno light my other bike. I have a SON hub/edeluxe ii combo on my Bleriot. I am thinking of SP/edeluxe ii or that new light Eric reviewed. I forgot whi makes it. Alotta the light names sound the same and confuse me. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to

Re: [RBW] Talk to me about Dyno power/lighting

I am not going to throw out too much advice here, because I am relatively new ti the dynamo lighting myself. I recently built up a SON hub on my Clementine with the B 50 lux light and I amplenty pleased. Plenty of people here suggesting Edelux and other high end stuff which rightly should work

Re: [RBW] Talk to me about Dyno power/lighting

I have the simpler Luxos "B" without USB charging, and that one is problematic as well. Overall an unreliable light. Firstly, the external connection terminals are a poor, poor design and prone to snapping off. Not Good. I've had to replace two of the four, which isn't a job for those

Re: [RBW] Talk to me about Dyno power/lighting

I'm running a SONdelux hub, eDelux II light, and have a sinewave revolution unit for charging. I can lollygag along with the light OFF and my iPhone 6 plugged in, while running Strava/some GPS tracking app, and the phone stays at 100% all the time. I think it hits peak charging at about 12km/h

Re: [RBW] Talk to me about Dyno power/lighting

In my limited experience (several days of RAGBRAI and other social tours), the Luxos U's USB charging was enough to slowly trickle charge my iPhone while it was running Strava (a charge-intensive app, because it uses the GPS sensor) and sometimes streaming music via bluetooth to a speaker. For

Re: [RBW] Talk to me about Dyno power/lighting

Here's the experiment I did: it was a wheel roll-down test, which measured the time it took for the wheel to come to a complete stop from a hard spin. It was a science experiment I did with my 9 year old daughter. The higher the resistive load on the dynamo, the faster the wheel comes to a

Re: [RBW] Talk to me about Dyno power/lighting

I did an experiment, and came to the conclusion that the Sinewave charger does not draw any significant power when there is no device plugged into it. According to Sinewave's owner and founder, it draws about 6mA without any device plugged in. That's about 1% of a typical dynamo load. Most

Re: [RBW] Talk to me about Dyno power/lighting

I had a SineWave on a former bike, and as Howard said it doesn’t draw very much power at all unless there’s something plugged into it. Based on my experience (with a Shimano dyno hub), the SineWave works best all by itself. Running an Edelux light and using the SineWave to charge at the same

Re: [RBW] Talk to me about Dyno power/lighting

With nothing plugged into the sinewave, power draw would be minimal. My luxos has a built in off switch. If your light doesn't have a switch you could wire one in. To be honest, I really don't feel the hubs resistance when I ride. Although I'm about as far away from a performance cyclist as one

Re: [RBW] Talk to me about Dyno power/lighting

Thanks for all the responses. Looking forward to sitting down with all the links and info. It's a whole new realm. I like the simplicity of luxos+usb. seems like it would be the easiest option. Something like Sinewave is actually what I assumed I was going to have to use, and that plus an

Re: [RBW] Talk to me about Dyno power/lighting

USB charging too? Then the LUXOS U is your ticket. http://www.rivbike.com/Busch-and-Muller-Luxos-U-Headlight-p/ltd-11.htm On Thu, Mar 31, 2016 at 1:45 PM, drew wrote: > i bought/am buying the SP/atlas wheel that justin was selling today. never > used a dyno system

Re: [RBW] Talk to me about Dyno power/lighting

Rene That piggyback connector crimps to the sinewave wires and attaches to your hub tabs. The tabs on the connector attach to your light. The photo is confusing. Howard -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe from

Re: [RBW] Talk to me about Dyno power/lighting

Rene, The piggyback connectors should already by twice as wide to account for the double thickness. Just press them onto the hub terminals as normal, and you'll have a second set of new terminals to plug your headight wire into. Anton velolumino.com On Thursday, March 31, 2016 at 10:59:03 AM

Re: [RBW] Talk to me about Dyno power/lighting

I checked out the Sinewave Cycles booth at NAHBS and came away impressed. I'm going to get the Piggyback connectors to run the charger in parallel with my light. However, now that I'm checking their site to order them, I cannot figure out how they're installed on the Shmidt hub. Do thy go side by

I recently went to a Dyno hub on my Atlantis. I'm using the luxos B for lighting. This is what Peter white recommended for my type of riding. For charging I'm using the sine wave revolution charger. http://www.sinewavecycles.com/ It has a feature that delays charging for a few seconds to let

Re: [RBW] Talk to me about Dyno power/lighting

If you want USB charging, the cheapest option is to buy the Luxos U headlight. Riv, Peter White, and several European sellers carry it. I'm very happy with the Luxos U, I have them on two bikes and convinced my girlfriend's father to get one. Otherwise, there are plenty of add-on USB chargers.
