Busch & Müller IXON IQ Premium illumination
The brightest battery light from Busch & Müller produces a large, evenly bright field of light that is not only deep, but also very wide. This not only guarantees the best view in tight bends; Nothing remains hidden to the right and left of the road either – helpful, for example, on routes where game crossings are to be expected. One or the other competitor appears brighter in certain areas, but usually at the price of more even illumination. In this area, the IXON IQ Premium is hard to beat. The dazzling effect upwards, which is clearly visible in the picture, is effectively stopped by the adhesive visor supplied. The light duration of the IXON is extremely long; the lamp only dims its brightness after around eight hours.
The set includes the large IXBACK rear light with automatic sensor, which switches on automatically when there is movement or when it is dark and lights up for several minutes when the vehicle is stationary.
Busch & Müller IXON IQ Premium feel and operation
As one of the few current front lights, the large IXON is not charged via USB, but with its own charger. The four AA batteries supplied can also be removed and charged outside of the lamp. Colored flashing signals provide information about the mode and charge status; the button in the form of a segment of a sphere requires quite a lot of pressure to switch on and off. Switching between the two modes is possible without switching off.
The bracket consists of two legs that can be hung in two positions on the clamping element for different handlebar diameters. However, these segments can sometimes fall off. The holder is fixed by a clamping screw with a non-slip plastic head, which you can simply snap into place - it is therefore not necessary to turn the screw time-consumingly. The rear people offer different attachment options from the metal clamp to the rubber ring.

Oliver says
The mere fact that USB charging is not possible should not give this lamp such a high rating.
With a power bank, a USB-enabled lamp can also be supplied with power while driving.
In this respect, an absolute must have.

my USB lights turn off automatically when you charge them.
