Hi,
I am interested in getting a high-quality dynamo-driven light with a glare-free pattern like the Supernova E3 Pro; however, I don't have a dynohub, and it will cost me over $400 to get a new 20" front wheel built for my recumbent with a Schmidt SONdelux hub.
So, I am curious whether it is possible to power a dynamo light like the Supernova E3 with a 6V battery pack instead of a dynamo, at least until I can afford a new wheel built with a dynohub? I realize that a dynamo produces AC rather than DC, but that's about the extent of my knowledge. Would a DC power pack work, and would it be safe for the light?
The B&M IQ cyo series supports battery packs. Max brightness is obtained between 7.2 and 7.5 volts, but the 7.5 volt must not be exceeded (from the pdf manual).
The B&M IQ Cyo is an excellent light with a very nice beam pattern.
