Union makes a number of mid-range bicycle generators (dynamos) and lighting systems. The most common are the bottle generators, which are mounted either to the front or rear forks of the bicycle. Power input is obtained from a generator wheel which turns when pressed against a moving bicycle wheel. The wheel rotates a magnet inside the unit which, through the magnetic resistance against a coil, produces an electric current. Dynamo lighting is attractive to those who do not wish to rely on batteries for their bicycle lights. Care must be taken that they are mounted correctly and that they are properly wired. Ensure the generator is securely fitted to the bicycle frame and that the wheel turns when engaged. Insert a bare end of the wire into the cable catch at the base of the generator bottle.
