Where can I buy a bike-powered generator?

Sexy

I'm looking for either one of the following 2 things:

1. A bicycle light that is powered by the wheel but has a battery that kicks in if you're going too slow for the light to be bright.
-OR-
2. A bicycle generator that can store the generated electricity in a battery that can then be used to power a light.

Thanks.

Generators disappeared from bikes once batteries were commonplace. Now, with LED lights, a couple batteries will last 1500 hours. In any case, here you have a few.

I agree on that but looking at my knowledge i think i feel comfortable with having on/off switch rather then with ignition.

do i need anything else from there or no? some one mentioned to me that i would need some converter box orr something like that, can some one help me find on on ebay of what excately it is?.

I did went to couple of mechanic shops and they are rangeing me from $350 to $500 which is pretty rediciolus, thats why i decided to do it myself. I did alot of research and to be honest it seemes pretty simple and easy to me its just a matter of connecting the LED's with switch and to the battery.

Since i do not know the law for NYC on bike neon lights i think i would want to have that on/off switch so i can turn it on when ever i want and turn it off when ever i need to.

Please throw me any suggestions you have.

Thanks,

I've installed LED lights on several bikes in the past year. I wire all of mine using a relay to activate the lights whenever the ignition is on, mostly because when you use a switch, and wire direct to the battery, you will eventually leave the power on for the LEDs and could run your battery down!

The LEDs I use are WATERPROOF SMD LEDs, which I purchase in 5-meter rolls or the silicone encased 12" long strips of SMD LEDs. Either work well, and can be purchased from Amazon, eBay, or locally for <$20 for the strip-lights or <$10-for a set of 4 or more of the 12" silicone-encased units.

Place the lights where you want them, under the tank, seat, fenders, etc., wire them to the switch or relay, and you're good to go... really it only takes a few minutes if you know where you want them, and know your way around the bike's electrical system.

As for NYC regulations... check with your local law enforcement or DMV regulations, but I'm pretty sure you are restricted to no flashing lights, blue may be illegal anywhere on the bike, red can only face to the rear, and amber cannot face rear. White should be legal as long as it does not face rear as well.
