The Edelux lights use optics from B&M with the II version having optics like the new Cyo lights and the original (not II) being like the previous version of the Cyo (ie IQ not IQ2). Since the reflectors and LEDs are the same, the beams are too. Choosing between the two brands is about price and features besides the primary beam. Want a metal housing and a glass front lens, buy the Edelux. Want daytime running lights, buy B&M. Want to save money, buy B&M. Want a switch for on/senso/off buy the Edelux. .....
