In this new generation bicycle light system, no battery is needed, no friction on any parts of the bicycle. The lights flash regardless speed of the bicycle and weather conditions (unlike normal dynamos!). Very bright.
It can be used as a stand-alone light system (as a normal dynamo) on your bike, or used as a back-up for your existed battery-powered lights.
There are DIY kits of this dynamo.
All details and buy on-line:

NO! Seriously pissed off about it too!

As there are 10 flats at that address that could be a bit unfair on the other nine:-)

Probably yes, if you referto the flashing ness of the lights, there has been a recent change in the law that allows cyclists to have flashing lights on their bike
So it totally illegal to use on the highway then...

As long as the lights put out at least 4 candela it's legal
Looks to me as if there could be a significant pause between flashes at low speeds, and even with the battery option, I think the front light goes out when stationary.

Wrong. Try reading the relevant law relating to this, (RVLR regs 18 £
24), rather than what the ignoranus fascist cyclists try and suggest.Flashing lights may be used, but they *MUST NOT* be used on their own, a normal *constant* output light source must be used as well.
and flash IIRC 1 to 4 times a second. I gather this one flashes once per wheel revolution, so could easily be out of spec.
Not since October, the regulations changed. Flashing is permitted for the sole obligatory lamps.
Right, actually. Try reading the The Road Vehicles Lighting (Amendment) Regulations 2005, which came into force on 21st October:
That is no longer the case.

suggest.
well.
Lunatics in charge of the asylum again... :~(

Sorry, but you are the one who is wrong, though it is a recent change in the law so I'll let you off....
May I suggest you do the same.
I refer you to 'The Road Vehicles Lighting (Amendment) Regulations 2005'
Which came into force 21/10/05.
This cyclist isn't ignorant or fascist, but he does know what the law is regarding cycle lighting. If you are going to throw out stupid insults it pays to be sure of your ground first.
Actually it was illegal to fit flashing lights to cycles under the previous regulations (though legal for the cyclist to wear them).
The above Amendment to the RVLR now makes flashing lights BY THEMSELVES legal on cycles. At the moment the only requirements are that the flashing lights have brightness of at least 4 candela and flash evenly between 1 and 4 times second. This is probably an interim measure, and presumably BS6102/3 will be amended in do course (there are oddities, like if the light has steady mode it must meet the more stringent requirements of BS6102/3)
Seems to give a good summary of the current law re cycle lighting regulations
whether or not the light in question that started this thread meets the requirements I've no idea, I can imagine it may well not.

Ok, you might not be a fascist but you are, IMO, ignorant and a cretin.
As I said in another message, lunatics have been place in charge of their asylum.
