Busch & Müller IXON Fyre illumination: The compact IXON Fyre shines with an extremely even beam pattern that is also relatively wide up to about 2 meters in front of the wheel. At a distance of 15 meters, a small, slightly darker zone can be discerned, but this is negligible in practice. At "only" 30 lux, it's clear that other lights are brighter at their brightest point, but the Fyre… read more
The Smart Touring 30 LED is a classic in the German bicycle trade when it comes to simple battery-powered lights. The Taiwanese manufacturer is keeping up with the times and presents what is perhaps the most affordable light with an "indirect light source," whose beam pattern is as follows: The immediate area is adequately illuminated; about 3 to 7 meters in front of the bike, it remains almost completely… read more
Illumination of the XLC Comp Titania Lamp: The battery-powered light from the accessory supplier exhibits a beam pattern not uncommon in this price range: A fairly bright close-up area is followed by a dark zone, until the actual beam begins at 5 meters, which is very well illuminated for the specified 20 lux. As is so often the case, the problem lies not in the depth, but in the width: … read more
The Trelock LS 360 I-GO Eco's 15 Lux illumination sounds rather modest, but what this compact Trelock achieves with that is remarkable. It starts with a just about adequately illuminated close-range area; this is followed by a consistently bright beam that also impresses in terms of range. Once again, however, the width of the beam is the limiting factor; here… read more
Sigma Sport Sportster / Mono Illumination: The most striking feature of the Sigma is the green illuminated logo on the top, which serves as a capacity indicator. However, the lamp's brightness falls short of expectations in this price range: While the Sigma provides very good visibility at distances of 5 to 15 meters, the close range remains largely dark. Furthermore, the… read more
