Major Bummer Leah! The SON powered Edelux light system definitely does seem to not be getting enough electricity!
Electrical issues can be fiendishly difficult to suss out, so I'd recommend taking it step by step. Have you tried disconnecting the rear light on the Platypus? If you do disconnect the RL and the light gets brighter you know its an issue with the RL wiring (The RL draws so little power its shouldn't noticeable effect the Edelux) Disconnect the RL directly from attachment at the Edelux for best troubleshooting. If you do that test and still the Edelux seems dim, than it must be the wiring between the Edelux and the SON hub. But you have 2 dynamos (which is a great thing)! However, one is a 700/SON and the other is 650/SP. This means the next next is harder. You can't install the SP onto the Platypus, I don't think (Due to the SPO connector). But I think you should be able to test the SON on the Clem. In the bike stand, can you install the 700/SON on the Clem? Maybe you need to slightly deflate the tyre? The SP connector will be finicky with the SON hub; you mazy need to push and hold it up against the thinner SON connection tabs (but it does work, I put an SP connector on my Roadeo's SON and have rode it for miles). If you can get all that to work, spin the wheel hard in the bike stand. Is it was bright as it was with the SP (make sure you spin the SP in the Clem in the stand too for reference!) If it is not as bright, you've now diagnosed a SON hub issue! If it is as bright, your issue is in the wiring between the SON hub and the Edelux. In summary: Test RL connection: rule out RL (dim) or RL wiring is issue (bright). Test SON on Clem: rule out and its a Edelux wiring issue (bright), or it's an issue with the SON hub (dim). If wiring issue, you or someone else should rewiring that complete section. If it's a SON hub issue, well I'd contact the vendor you got the hub or wheel build from! Hopefully this is something fairly easy for you to try out. Feel free to ask more questions if some part doesn't make sense. Best of luck!
