I have my lights switched off and nothing's exploded. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=10489#post-114833 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 12:03:32 +0000 Wilmington's Cow 114833@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Already got the lights :)</p> <p>A B&amp;M pair, but can't remember the models! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=10489#post-114832 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 12:03:06 +0000 Dave 114832@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>It's fine, having a light plugged in and switched off is the same as not having one plugged in. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=10489#post-114827 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 11:34:55 +0000 DaveC 114827@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Which Light are you planning on buying WC? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=10489#post-114824 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 11:27:10 +0000 Darkerside 114824@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>You can apparently get a chunky shock if you biologically close the circuit of the dynamo whilst moving. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=10489#post-114822 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 11:20:13 +0000 Two Tired 114822@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I imagine it is only generating with a closed circuit so you should be safe!</p> <p>EDIT: While moving however, stick a light bulb in your mouth and see what happens. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=10489#post-114821 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 11:19:57 +0000 Wilmington's Cow 114821@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Not while moving. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=10489#post-114820 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 11:18:33 +0000 Two Tired 114820@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Are you planning to put your tongue on the contact points? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=10489#post-114819 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 11:15:49 +0000 Wilmington's Cow 114819@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>So I've got my fancy new dynamo front wheel, and it looks fab, and rolls really nicely. My query is.... Should I be connecting up the wires asap? Will rolling it store up electricity that will cause it to explode? Will I get a shock if I ride for ten miles then put my tongue on the contact points? </p>
