Hi Patrick, I have two IQ-X lights and an Edelux II. The IQ-X lights are paired with SP and Kasai hubs (which seem identical and my understanding is that these are made by the same manufacturer) and both use the standard SP type connector (strip the wires, fold, clip, and plug).
The IQ-X lights work just fine off-road as they are quite bright. The bikes with these lights have them mounted down near the fork crown. For singletrack I prefer a helmet mounted light to be able to see in a different direction then I am steering (on our tight, twisty, NE trails), but for dirt roads and other less demanding off-road a bike mounted light is fine. I have no qualms about the lights themselves. The IQ-X has a tail light connector, but I haven't tried wiring up a tail light yet. Compared to the Edelux the IQ-X is brighter but the Edelux is a bit "smoother", and without the separation/segmentation in the beam that the IQ-X has. The ability to rotate the IQ-X housing for inverted/hanging mounting is a plus. -Dave On Thursday, May 29, 2025 at 6:22:31 PM UTC-4 Mackenzy Albright wrote: > I upgraded from a Spanninga Axendo to a B&M IQ X on my Clementine and > quite like it.
