Dynamo hubs are out for me because I use my light on a number of

A first world problem of too many bicycles.

Whenever I have to replace a wheel on a mid-range bicycle then I will
get a dynamo hub wheel. The cost differential is about $50 for a wheel
with a 3W Shimano or Sanyo dynamo. For a high-end dynamo (SP) you're
looking at another $150, but I have not had any issues with the
lower-end dynamos.

But I have to say, with my Lezyne 1500 lumen light, with internal
batteries and USB rechargeable, the need for a dynamo is greatly
reduced. I bought extra mounts and put them on multiple bicycles. A
dynamo light alone is not sufficient for most urban riding in the U.S..
