I think placement is key. If you put that light on handlebars you will (as I did) blind oncoming traffic.

[RBW] Re: FS: Supernova E3 Triple with Tail light
I don't see how one can go wrong with an E3, and is not the 'traffic blinding' issue a matter of how one positions and aims the light at the road ahead?? I'd take brighter any day. Slightly OT, after reading good reviews on this forum, I recently picked up (from Longleaf Bicycles) a B&M IQ Cyo Senso Plus, which appears to be functionally very similar to my Schmidt Edelux, in a slightly different casing (and for $65 less). This one I intend to swap between various bikes; I'd be interested in hearing whether anyone has created some type of quick-connect solution for their dyno lights. I've done this with the wiring to my hubs, each of which uses a slightly different connector, so I use a universal connector a few inches up the fork, allowing me connect different lights (also wired with the universal connector) on different hubs.. but I'd like to also fashion some kind of quick-release for the light itself.

[RBW] Re: FS: Supernova E3 Triple with Tail light
BB, "Traffic blinding" is NOT just a matter of positioning the light. Asymmetric beam patterns, such as the EDelux, have a beam pattern that aims light at the bottom half of the... imagine that your headlight is the pointy end of an ice cream cone and light project out in 360 degrees from that point... cone. Yes, you could just aim that cone down, but you'd have to aim it pretty 'straight down' not to be sending light up above the horizon. Not the most efficient. Asymmetric beam patterns control the light and aim all of the emitted light at the road in front of you. And, yes, cars in front of you still see a very bright light, they just don't have that very bright light shining right in their eyes. Automobile headlights work in this way. Similar to the difference between High beams and Low beams. The E3 Triple is not meant for the road. The EDelux is. In regard to your second question. The E3 I bought came with a couple brass connectors that would act nicely as a "quick connect". Of course, you could use basically any connector from an electronics store. The trick is to figure out what you would like to "quickly disconnect" and what you would like to leave behind. The E3 I have connects via a quick-release mount to the handlebar. I'd like to have a connector close to the light, but that would require cutting the wire that is hardwired to the light pretty short. A scary proposition.

Did I mention the tail light was included with wiring, adaptor for single hole rack, free freight. Of course I did.. :( Now I'm really sorry I bought this light.. brand new and can't sell it. It will make a nice paper weight on the desk.. :) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

I don't think it's unsellable. If I hadn't just bought mine, I'd be very interested. The price is great. Check out Supernova's website. Current 24 Hour World Champions used this light! http://www.supernova-lights.com/en/products/e3_triple2.html Again, your Hunqapillar needs one!!!

[RBW] Re: FS: Supernova E3 Triple with Tail light
Thanks, BykMor, I now understand. I would ideally like a quick-release mount to place my B&M on the handlebar or on the front/side of a rack, and/or on the front of my Wald basket... Now I realize these should all require different mounts; but perhaps not. I'd love to see your quick release for your E3... Do you have pics you can share? THANKS!

Re: [RBW] Re: FS: Supernova E3 Triple with Tail light
Just to let potential buyers know... I just purchased an E3 Triple and used it while racing at the 24 Hours in the Old Pueblo mountain bike race in Tucson, AZ last weekend. One of my laps *only *used the handlebar mounted E3, and I survived. An additional helmet mounted light is recommended for the corners and was used on subsequent laps. It is a bright light with a broad swath of usable light, but it is NOT the light you want for road randonneuring or cyclomuting. It would be REALLY COOL on a Hunqapillar! An EDelux would work, as well, but this one will show you the branches about to whap you in the face and light up the owl eyes in the tree up there. FYI- The E3 Triple uses a symmetric beam, meaning there is a cone of light and plenty of light is sent above the horizon. This is useful out on a dirt trail, but not good in two-way traffic.
