Comment on Lenovo USB-C PSU for laptops powers a Rasberry Pi, but cannot simply charge bicycle lights. WTF?

Most usb- c pd adapters wont put ouz any voltage on their own. the end device must tell the adapter what voltage they want via the cc pins. on the raspberry pi this is done via resistors between cc1 snd cc2 to get 5v. those pins are most likely unpopulated on your bycicle lights, so they get no power.
