But I need a light. I would love to get the Supernova E3 triple, but I figure there has to be something available on the market that will do the trick but cheaper.

Planet Bike's Dyno hub powered light is just like the 1W superflash, with all those flashing modes
so off the in StVZO violation outliers . but you can take it off and out it in your pocket
Bar mount with release & Portion of the inline plug is left on the bike ..

Yeah, you could have two lights, one the Supernova E3 Triple II, and one
PB dyno light. Just use the PB in the daytime and the E3 st night. But
you still need a small flashlight for repairs.

What would be _really_ nice is a _single_ light, that is full function.
This is not rocket science.

1. Removable for both security and for use as a repair light
2. Spot to Flood Zoom
3. Flash mode
4. Multiple power levels
5. Hybrid power, dynamo charges a Li-Ion battery but light can operate
solely on dynamo power, at least at low power.
6. Battery also can be charged, inside the light, from an external source.
7. Beam shape that illuminates to the front, off to the sides, and
slightly up (for road signs and overhead obstacles.

Now, in the rare instances that I see someone with dynamo lights,
they'll almost always have some secondary battery powered light as well.
Too much clutter and you still have to deal with batteries after
spending all that money on a dynamo wheel and lamp.

Ah, you've just perfectly described that German lighting standard you hate so much. LOL VBEG

Funny, "Optically advanced lens provides superior beam pattern" makes it
sound like it has one of the very features you don't seem to like!

yawl scoped the Lexus and Infiniti lamp systems, right ? over at WalPark ?

Back in the day, I had a set standard Ferrari driving lights good for .5 mile but there was no traffic to bitch abt.

Standard Frod Econoline sealed beams in halogen are crafted for flattening the beam out towards the right berm...on left and right lamps, no beam at all for the left side.

Hella sculpts the mirror, sometimes bragging abt it but I lost that link..
