Rechargeable battery and dynamo operated headlamp: The Bird

Eye-catching things they make at Spanninga. Look at the Bird and the Ultra Eco. This bright duo guarantees a maximum light output and a minimum power consumption. The Bird is a removable halogen headlamp. It works for 3 hours on its accumulator, is rechargeable with a mains adaptor and/or on the bicycle with the dynamo, and switches off automatically one minute after coming to a halt (with dynamo operation). With the fork crown mounting and the anti-theft lock the Bird definitely accounts with sticky-fingers. With its Nickel-Metal-Hydride accumulator and its Clear Lens Technology it also respects the environment and safety rules. The Ultra Eco makes the cycle lighting scene complete: the sophisticated light guiding system with 1 LED and the 3 function switch (ON/AUTO/OFF) supply a powerful, low-consumption (25 mA) light output. Day and night, whatever the weather.
The Bird and the Ultra Eco: clever, safe and economic.
