Hub dynamos

That's fine,
There's a "Premium" IQ2 version of the Cyo that's usefully brighter, and more significantly, has a considerably wider beam. Worth getting if the option is available.

Note that dynamo hubs feel stiff and notchy if fiddled with off the bike. This is normal.

After a bit more research the shop info says it's a Senso Plus, which I'm guessing is a "Premium"

Have a look at rose.de for dynamo components (or other German sellers). It's a legal requirement for dynamo lights to be fitted to all but very light bikes over there. so the prices for dynamo stuff are much cheaper.

I don't think the Plus is the same as the Premium. If you can get the premium, the light shape on the road is much better than the old one IMHO (I have one of each)

I totally agree with Fab Foodie, but I do often run battery lights in tandem with the dynamo ones when I know I'm going to be out in real darkness.

I do too, I've got two separate lighting systems- dynamo F/R and rechargeables F/R- unlikely both will fail. But if I've forgotten to charge up a battery pack I can still take the bike out and for shopping etc. I just use the dynamo system- lights are bolted to the bike.
