Hahaha, I guess I am a competitor of sorts!   But do check out the UK forums=
 on the Dynalite and other similar units. =20

I have some LED H4 "bulbs" on my desk.  I was given these in late 2014.  I l=
ooked at the emitters and compared them to the filaments of the incandescent=
 bulbs and found the physical placement and directionality to be rather diff=
erent.   I did not install them because I was concerned about the quality of=
 the light pattern with the LED. And I did not need to conserve power.... At=
 least not much.  I live in the country and have little stop and go driving.=
  =20

If I lived in an area with more traffic, then I would likely try out LED hea=
dlights!!   The LEDs are 5 watts or less instead of 55 or 60 watts.... Each

Headlights consume about 35% or more of my 22 amp dynamo's maximum output.  L=
EDs would consume less than 3.2%!!!!   That would allow me to add some LED d=
riving lights too!!!!!
