I just installed 2 Busch and Mueller Dymotec 6's, Dlumotec LED
headlights and Dtoplights (rear) on my boy's bikes. Bought them from
Peter White Cyclery. I am very pleased with them. I choose the regular
6 instead of the lower resistance S6 but must say, the resistance is
negligible on the inexpensive 6. I highly recommend them. Whatever
brand you eventually go for, be sure to get lights that DO NOT GO OUT
when you stop pedaling. Not only is the feature nice for stoplights,
it's really nice for securing the bikes at night, finding keys and so
forth. Bottle generators have come a long way in the last few years.
Coupled with good LED lighting technology, they are surprisingly
bright. And there's no resistance for day riding. The LED lights, by
the way, fully power up at walking speed which is good, if you do a lot
of stop and start biking.
