My only dyno headlight experience is with the Sinewave Beacon. I mention it because it seems to address your two questions. It ticks a lot of boxes for me, but after 2.5 years of hard use with it, I can't say it has lived fully up to the expectations I had for it.
Pros: Made in USA, waterproof, all metal construction, can be mounted upside-down, is tremendously bright, has a standlight that glows for hours, is pre-wired for a taillight, can be powered by a battery bank, can charge devices via a waterproof USB port Despite all the pros, two things have disappointed me. First, the beam pattern is more suited for off-road riding. It just blasts a big round beam of light directly in front of you. No focused beam pattern for riding in traffic. Secondly, I'm not sure if my light is faulty, or if it's user error, but I find the USB charging capability pretty much useless. I can plug my phone into it and ride 20-30 miles at 12-14mph and the battery may only go up 1-2% from where it was when I plugged it in. I've heard folks say it is best used to trickle-charge a battery bank, but my battery bank is so large, and takes so long to charge up when plugged into a wall outlet, I don't think I would ever know whether or not the Sinewave was even charging it at all.
