The Luxeon Star LEDs are beginning to change the lighting market for bicycles. Now Lumotech has brought out an LED headlamp which runswith a conventional 6V dynamo and throws out 30lx that is 3 times the legal minimum for bicycle lamps. LED lights provide additional safety due to the fact that they can continue to run for short stops, for example at traffic lights and intersections.
