Hello everyone, I bought a bottle dynamo for my bicycle with a rear and front light. Though I have one little tweak that I would like to add and that’s a way to keep it light up for about 1 minute (at least 30 sec) without pedaling. I thought of putting a capacitor in the circuit to store some energy but I would like what do you all think of it ?

Thank you for your time and have a nice day you all !

    Excuse me if I’m wrong but the description of your front light says in the first sentence: "The AXA Nxt 60 is a dynamo front light […] with a Steady light function allowing you to have 4 minutes of light when standing still. " Is that not already what you want?

      Really good point, though as a stupid human I didn’t understood what was the difference between the Nxt 60 steady and the Nxt 60 E bike… Now I know. I don’t have this marvelous option =\ explaining why the back doesn’t light up either… Thank you for pointing it out, I couldn’t get the article from the site itself so I took another seller and it was not available (it is now)
