I'll back off on my normal over-tightening technique! Cheers, David it isn't a contest. Just enjoy the ride. - Seth Vidal On Wed, Sep 24, 2014 at 11:33 PM, Scot Brooks scothinck...@gmail.com wrote: The Pixeo is pretty good, definitely bright enough, but has a weak point on the inside, where the threaded plate is retained by plastic channels. If you tighten beyond snug, the plate rounds out the channels and spins freely. Then you have to disassemble the light and hold the plate manually to get it tight again. Small thing, but likely enough to happen. Otherwise, fine light. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

Either way. I don't know how the battery model compares. But if you have fenders, wiring across the bike is surprisingly easy; I held out for a long time, but I'm glad I ultimately went that way.

Re: [RBW] Re: LED Fender Lights: Spanninga vs. PDW Fenderbot
I have a Spanninga Pixio Xba I am planning to put on my SimpleOne's fender. I also have a PDW Radbot 1k and a dyno BM TopLight Line. The Radbot 1K is very bright on axis, but is a single small spot of brightness. The Pixio is fairly bright though not as bright as the Radbot, and also seems to be pretty much a dot when viewed from any distance. I like the way the linetec creates a larger illuminated area. I think the reflector portion of the Radbot is larger than the one on the Pixio, and the TopLight's is even larger. If you have a place to mount it, you might consider the battery version of the TopLight (http://www.rivbike.com/product-p/lt009.htm) On Wednesday, September 24, 2014 5:44:28 PM UTC-7, cyclot...@gmail.com wrote: I was looking at the dynamo powered one, but not a fan of the wiring across the bike. The AAA rears typically last a while w/ rechargeable, so not worried about that, just the brightness. Thanks! Cheers, David it isn't a contest. Just enjoy the ride. - Seth Vidal On Wed, Sep 24, 2014 at 4:37 PM, Andrew Marchant-Shapiro marchan...@gmail.com javascript: wrote: I believe I have had good luck with the Spanninga Pixeo. It is my sole active illumination to the rear, though I have reflective tape, the Pixeo's reflector, and an additional reflector on the rear rack. The Pixeo (dynamo version) is very bright--as bright IMO as some headlights I've used, but more distributed. It's best on dark roads, as others have observed. But that's true for any powered light. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

Re: [RBW] Re: LED Fender Lights: Spanninga vs. PDW Fenderbot
I don't have a rear rack, so the Toplight wouldn't work out. Thanks though! Cheers, David it isn't a contest.
