These lights are suitable for commuters and others who need to be seen by motorists.
Some of the fancier models may also let you spot pavement defects and other road hazards.
Very bright 1 watt LED headlight. Powered by four NiMH (Nickel Metal Hydride) rechargeable AA or alkaline AA batteries.
Focused beam is similar to the Lumotec and other high quality generator headlights. Relatively sharp horizontal cutoff to the top of the beam to keep focused light out of the eyes of oncoming drivers.
The beam is brightest at the top, getting progressively dimmer towards the bottom so as to give even lighting to the road both close to you and far away, just like a high quality automobile low beam.
Available without batteries, or with 4 Nickel Metal Hydride rechargeable batteries, and optional smart charger. Charger plugs directly into the headlight from below. No need to remove the batteries to charge them. The charger will not overcharge the batteries and won't attempt to charge non NiMH batteries.
The universal-voltage charger is designed for German wall outlets which use round plugs instead of the flat type we use in the US and Canada. An adapter is required for the charger and we keep them in stock. You may already have the necessary adapter if you have a universal set of adapters for international travel. A small LED on top warns you when the battery power is getting low.

The IXON IQ with revolutionary new IQ technology illuminates five hours long with up to 40 lux. That is 300% brighter than German road traffic regulations require.
The well-known rechargeable headlight IXON has often emerged from product testing as the winner, among others, from the highly-regarded Stiftung Warentest (independent German product and services testing foundation) tests in March 2006. Busch & MŸller is now introducing this success model from their sports line with the revolutionary new illumination technology IQ-TEC. The IXON IQ will be offers light output up to a sensational 40 lux.
The most remarkable technical feature of IQ-TEC is a radically-designed, newly-developed special reflector with integrated cooling system. The light comes from a high-powered LED that is used as an indirect light source. For this reason, there is no bulb or diode to be seen in the centre of the reflector. Busch & MŸller aptly describe this concisely and clearly on their packaging as "nothing but light". That is exactly what the cyclist experiences at night: The useable lighted area of the IXON IQ is uniformly illuminated to a maximum extent and twice as wide as with conventional reflectors.
- Full power setting (40 lux) gives about 5 hour run time.
- Eco power setting (10 lux) gives about 20 hours.
