I agree. While this light seems functionally perfect, it would look totally out of place on my vintage commuter with all silver components. Looking forward to more iterations! On Thursday, February 14, 2013 1:26:34 PM UTC-8, Minh wrote: > > Those Luxos pictures are almost unbelievable to me, it'

Those Luxos pictures are almost unbelievable to me, it's just so incredibly wide and bright that it's hard to believe the headlight is that good. it's really impressive what they've done with it, will be interesting if they expand the technology down the line (price) or across the line to somet

Putting the top of the beam 30 feet in front is viable if you're riding slowly and using an older halogen headlight. But the newer lights, in particular the latest Luxos headlights from Busch & Müller are far brighter, and have very wide beams. So you can aim them higher and still have plenty o

Nice, I'd be interested to hear how the USB charging and the "turbo" mode work. Maybe the "turbo" mode on Nick's 40 mph downhills would be the ticket... Toshi On Fri, Jan 11, 2013 at 5:56 AM, Matthew J wrote: > Thank you for the review Toshi. I am near the front of Peter's wait list > for the

Hi Nick, There is no doubt that you can ride much faster with the Luxos and get much better illumination in contrast with the Cyo. However, I believe it would be less than adequate on a 40 mph descent because although the road may be illuminated, the hotspot will be off the road, and I would not

Hi, Toshi, The main place where the Cyo is less adequate than I'd like is on a 40mph twisting mountainous descent in the dark. On the straight parts it is fine. But for the curves, I need to use a helmet light so that I can look "around" the corner to see where the road is going. I had hoped
