Patch: As others have noted, the Edelux (I or II) is a somewhat nicer product in terms of finish (for instance, the Edelux has a glass front, while the IQ-X’s lens is plastic). If you’re into finely polished German tech, you should buy the Edelux II.
OTOH, I have have both lights on different bikes and I prefer the light output of the IQ-X. In my opinion, it is noticeably brighter than the Edelux, and puts usable light much farther in front of the bike. I have mine adjusted to light up the road over 100 feet in front of me. The Edelux II puts out more light than the Edelux I, but really any of these will provide plenty of illumination. For my money, I prefer the IQ-X. It’s not finely polished, and it has a plastic clamp assembly that the Edelux doesn’t, but it’s less expensive and crazy bright. YMMV. --Eric N campyonly...@me.com www.CampyOnly.com Campyonlyguy.blogspot.com @Campyonlyguy > On Jan 26, 2017, at 11:22 AM, Patch T <ptrof...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Almost most definitely have narrowed it down to the Busch+Müller Lumotec IQ-X > and the Schmidt Edelux II, and now I cannot decide between the two. > > I would love to hear from anyone has had experience with both, or anyone who > knows enough about both to help way the technical pros and cons. > > - they'll run off a SON28 hub > - mounted to a Nitto Mark's rack for now > - mounted to a custom rack and/or a Tubus Tara in the future > - city riding and night time trail riding, the occasional long tour, the > frequent s24o... > > Thanks, bunch. > > Love, > Patch > > > > > > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "RBW Owners Bunch" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an > email to rbw-owners-bunch+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com > <mailto:rbw-owners-bunch+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com>. > To post to this group, send email to rbw-owners-bunch@googlegroups.com > <mailto:rbw-owners-bunch@googlegroups.com>. > Visit this group at https://groups.google.com/group/rbw-owners-bunch > <https://groups.google.com/group/rbw-owners-bunch>. > For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/d/optout > <https://groups.google.com/d/optout>. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
