I think you may be one of the only ones. This light is very cool, but you are still losing energy to generate light, and I prefer battery powered LED lights - they can last as long as 32 hours, and aren't dependent on you moving all the time.

Although Foo's light may have been powered off the spinning wheel, the particular design that is being discussed doesn't require friction for power, so it creates less drag and is less harsh on the tires. Besides that, the fact that older versions of this concept used regular light bulbs and the Electrodynamic Bike Light uses LEDs, make it far more efficient than what you probably used back in the day.

Every bike that was produced came with this kind Electrodynamic Bike Light . The problem was that we were isolated from the rest of the world, thats why nobody knows about it.

I had a bike over 30 years ago that had a light that was powered off of the spinning wheel. This light may be brighter and more efficient, but not really noteworthy. This is nothing new.
