(b) Prior Art Conventional bicycle headlight lighting devices are generally one that uses the electromotive force of a generator that generates electricity as the wheel rotates, and one that uses dry batteries. However, the method (■) has safety problems because the lights go off when the vehicle is stopped or when driving at low speeds. For this reason, some proposals have been made to install a secondary battery and charge it with a generator, and then turn on the battery using the discharge current of the secondary battery when the vehicle is stopped or driving at low speeds, but this increases the load on the generator and the pedal The disadvantage is that the rotation becomes heavy and running performance is poor.

In addition, method (■) does not have the drawbacks of method (2), such as not being able to turn on the headlights and making the pedals heavier when stopped temporarily or when driving at low speeds, but the battery capacity is limited because bicycles have little battery storage space. This is not only uneconomical as it requires frequent battery replacement, but if you forget to replace the battery, you will be forced to drive without lights, which is dangerous.Furthermore, if you forget to turn off the battery, it is a waste of battery power. There are disadvantages such as high consumption.

(c) Problems to be Solved by the Present Invention The present invention takes the above-mentioned drawbacks into consideration, maintains safety during temporary stops and low-speed driving, improves drivability, and eliminates unnecessary lighting of headlights. The present invention relates to an economical bicycle lighting device that allows miniaturization of static solar cells and secondary batteries.

(d) Means for Solving the Problems The present invention connects in parallel a generator that generates electricity with the rotation of the front light and wheels, a generator that generates electricity by receiving sunlight, and a secondary battery. A switching means is interposed between the headlamp and the secondary battery, detects running and stopping of running based on the output of the generator, and turns the switching means ON/OFF during running.
The above problem is solved by providing a control circuit that turns off with a delay after the vehicle stops running.

(e) By the means described below, the switching means is set to 0FF1. In this state, the secondary battery is charged by the solar battery. When you start driving at night, the switching means is turned on by the control circuit. Initially, the headlights are turned on by the secondary battery, and when the driving speed reaches 1-41, the headlights are turned on by the generator. When the speed drops to the city speed, the control circuit turns on the headlights for a predetermined period of time. The switching means turns off the ONL headlight after it turns on.
