Stephan:  I don't know about the most modern hub units and lights but in the 
past the advantage of a battery system was the brightness.  I find a 25 watt 
system is bright enough that I can see far enough ahead to ride at 25mph and 
still stop or otherwise avoid an unforseen obsticle.  It is also quite visible 
to other vehicle operators.

My concern is not the drag, though I think one would notice the drag of a 
generator capable of powering a 25watt system.  

Jon
