Thanks to all the others who responded. For them too, the IQ X is the
majority winner.
The only thing that makes me hesitate is having to re-wire the lamp (wire
runs from hub up forward fender/rack "arch" that holds lamp, and tail light
wire runs back under fender to pop out just aft of crown to
IQ-X
I’ve got a black one and a silver one. The mini “mu” taillight is also
quite cool.

I was looking for something that can take plenty of weight and was focused
on thenHollywood Sport SE (excellent) but ended up with the Swagman
Current. It will handle two bikes at 60 pounds each, comes with a locking
hitch pin, locking cable, and the hooks lock as well. Usually $100 cheaper
I just installed an IQ-X on my Atlantis, and hoo boy, is it bright, pretty,
and well-made... Did take some extra spacers to work with the Pass and
Stow 3-rail rack, but I really wish I had known how great this light was
before I bought the Edelux for my Clem. From the conversations I've had
Another vote for the IQ-X. It's terrifically bright, well-shaped,
well-constructed, and the standlight is quite bright and long-lasting.
A much cheaper option is a Herrmans
(eg https://www.modernbike.com/herrmans-headlights), which I tried
recently. I have an MR-4. It's actually rather bright

I like the IQ X. It’s everything you say, and of course half the price of the
Edelux. The trade-off is build quality. The Edelux’s front “lens,” for
instance, is glass; the IQ X’s is plastic. I’ve never had a problem with my IQ
X, but if you’re looking for the very best, most robust
Thanks, Brian and Jeffrey.
I'm afraid that the Sinewave Beacon is out; I need something with
German-spec (or, generally, traffic-appropriate) beam shape. The S Beacon
must be much like my K-Lite: wonderfully bright, but it just blasts the
light out there.*
The B IQ X seems the darling: German
Forgot to add: Jeffrey: Please post photos of your ride, if and when you
can. Thanks.

Patrick,
My wife and I have experience with several different dynamo LED lights.
Edelux, Edelux 2, B Cyo, Sinewave Beacon, B IQ-X. For us, at this
time, the B IQ-X is the best for pavement riding. It easily eclipses the
Edelux 2. I recall riding with the IQ-X on our tandem last summer on a
My only dyno headlight experience is with the Sinewave Beacon. I mention it
because it seems to address your two questions. It ticks a lot of boxes for
me, but after 2.5 years of hard use with it, I can't say it has lived fully
up to the expectations I had for it.
Pros: Made in USA, waterproof,
The nice bright (plastic) headlight on the Dahon was a Lumotec IQ something
or another, again, no longer made.
