    looking for a bright bikelight for my ebike

    Unfortunately for me, it only runs on 6V DC (or 12V DC for the M99 Pure+), not the 42V DC by e-bike has on the light output.

    looking for a bright bikelight for my ebike

    Yes, I know the Supernova M99 series. Great lights, but very expensive. Unfortunately only the M99 PRO (designed for 45 km/h speed pedelecs) can handle an input voltage above 12 V. My 25 km/h e-bike has 42 V on the light output, so I can't use the less expensive M99 Mini. Lupine has the SL for...

    looking for a bright bikelight for my ebike

    IMHO the Focal Series is missing some things (or has too many things) to make it a real e-bike headlight. 1. It doesn't run off the e-bike battery. Carrying a second battery on an e-bike doesn't make sense, plus now you can not control the light from the e-bike console. 2. It has a n on/off...

    Busch Müller Luxos hack question

    My Luxos showed different behaviour for about a week or two. When starting to ride, the light would switch on. No matter how many times or how long I pressed the switch, it stayed on (despite hearing and feeling the click of the switch). After that period it stopped doing that. Luckily it...

    Busch Müller Luxos hack question

    I have the Luxos B on my bicycle. The light does not have a real on/off switch. It is just a push button, that signals the light should switch state (from on to off, or from off to on). In order to do that, the electronic circuit in the light needs power. That power comes from a supercapacitor...

    LED's used in B&M Luxos B

    Hello, After using a B&M Luxos B for a few years now, I am trying to find out what LED's are used in it. Since LED technology has advances, maybe the LED's can be replaced by more efficient ones (and maybe in a more natural white colour). Especially under rainy conditions the light output is...

    Herrmans H-One S

    Any particular reason for that? The domain xml.in is registered to a German company (QE GmbH & Co. KG in Osnabrück). The subdomain belongs to a guy from Saarbrücken, also in Germany. How do you know without looking into the .in link? :-) I agree that the videos aren' t very useful. However...

    Herrmans H-One S

    I like a wider beam instead of a narrow bright spot. My wife's bicycle has a Cyo R. I tried it on a dark countryside road. When I drove in the middle of the road, the beam illuminated the whole width of the road. I will wait for the results of swhs's tests. Yesterday I found this site...

    Herrmans H-One S

    I had found the add on ebay, but I did not click on the details (because I wasn't planning on buying it on the other side of the world when I can get it cheaper in my own country), so I missed the images. The light pattern doesn't look very impressive. The beam is narrower than I have now. The...
