Wind-up LED Lights

QVC (sad to admit, I know) were selling wind-up LED torches. Looked
rather like the front lights you can get for bikes except no bike
bracket.

Talk about missing a trick.

Hopefully some company will latch onto the idea, so to speak.

You could probably bodge one onto your bike should you wish to. However, a
root in the bits box at your LBS will probably yield a cheap bottle dynamo
and front/rear lights to suit. With this latter system, you won't need to
take your hands off the controls to crank the lights!

Robert Dyas have them for 9.99; I have one for dire underground
emergencies; pretty [censored] unless you wind them every two mins.
