I have a shimano dynamo, works well for me may not be the best but it is reliable and cost effective.

On the front I have a BM lumotec IQ I live in a village where there are only a few streetlights and this is bright enough for riding with no street lights.  I have the same one on my brompton for winter commuting again very reliable.

I also have a BM rear light not currently fitted as I have not refitted my rack yet.

I also have a  USB werk charger again BM I did build my own some time ago but this was going cheap in discount bike in Germany so I could not resist.  It works well but I don't really need it.

Pictures to follow.
