For occasional use, or for my "gofast" -- that should read: 'go "fast" ' -- bike, I prefer a battery light, but I do want dynamo systems on the bikes that get ridden more regularly in the dark.
I have a B&M Ixon IQ Premium that I bought on list that, apart from a somewhat cheesy clamp, works very well -- broad, bright beam, at least, High is bright, tho' not as bright as my Edeluxe 1 or the even brighter and later plastic lamp on the Dahon (at shop, so can't look at name). I think B&M claim 3 hours on High. At any rate, it uses AAs, which is good for me because this light sees only sporadic use, and I don't have to worry about battery charge "shelf life." Are there other German-spec battery lights on the market? I'm not sure if the Ixon IQ Premium is still made. Also, if one were to replace his Edeluxe 1 with a newer German spec lamp, what would you (all) choose, and why? I see the PJW has some new models ... If you convert a wheel, even with a $300 SON, and all the more with a SP or Shimano, your cost will be a lot less than $500. I'm getting the Hon Solo front wheel converted, and even if I'd paid full list for the (Biologic) hub -- $150 (I paid less) -- and needed 32 spokes (the wheel has 20), the total would be no more than $250 with tax.
