There's not doubt whatsoever in my mind that the rational
solution is battery-powered lights. They're everywhere - and on
sale right now at Performance. Witness my own hand-held
flashlight (2 C batteries - probably be putting out light on the
original batts long after I'm dead...)

But now I've got this Sturmey-Archer Dynohub (was planning on
just a drum brake... but the drum + generator was only five bucks
more...) so, just for grins, I'd like to make a system that works
without batteries.
