Been using my Edelux II with a SONdelux hub for 1.5 years now. It just
works, every time, perfectly. I have a home-made charging system that I can
plug in-line between the light and the hub if I'm going on a long tour, but
I only use that maybe once or twice a year. If built-in charging isn't a
I think that the issue of reliability is my biggest fear in choosing the
Luxos U, which would otherwise be preferable for the built-in USB output.
However, the suggestion of increased drag over other USB output options as
well as the fact that B&M seems to be doing away with an option for USB

I'm on my third Luxos U in a year and a half and at PBP this one started having
issues too, I just haven't ridden at night enough since to confirm that it's
bad. The upside is that they have been replaced by Peter White immediately and
with no hassle. Also, when they work, I love them. Charging
As far as I know, the e-werk USB charger uses the same circuitry as the
Luxos U, and saps energy from the hub even when not used to charge a
device. The Sinewave Revolution is only $120, MUSA, and does not consume
appreciable energy when not charging a device (it's also 100% waterproof--

I have a Luxos B and even the simpler B model has issues. Be very careful
about snapping the spade connectors! I replaced the terminals on mine with
wire+banana jacks. I don't like the seals at all on this beast, but so far
water hasn't destroyed it.
I prefer the Edelux II. Lighter, water-resis
I slowly collected the generator lighting set up for my commuter and picked
up a Luxos (B) and have been very happy with it over two years' daily
commuting, including the slop of true winters. Didn't need more and saw the
bar switch as eye candy for unneeded attention while locked up for the day
I have the Edelux II; chosen because I liked the aluminum housing/glass
lens vs. the plastic of the Luxos models. I don't really mind the lack of
charger on the Luxos U because I am normally close enough to civilization.
I have also seen others' Luxos models and the wiring out of the back looks
I have both and from experience the Luxus U does not charge all that well
as the cache isn't big enough. At least it isn't for my iPhone 6+ and have
had 3 others in my area with them have the same problems.
Edelux - clean, bright and automatic. Just works and is perfect.

Dear Zach,
The early Luxos U lights had reliability issues. I have used the Luxos B
(same light but fewer features) and Edelux II, and I'd go for the Edelux II
or the Cyo II over the Luxos for the smaller size and equivalent
performance, but they're all wonderful lights. If I needed a USB power
Have owned both; prefer the Luxos.

I have both (on different bikes, natch). They both work exceptionally
well.
The U is somewhat more rough and tumble looking. However, the Edelux cast
aluminum is really quite well made.
The U is on a bike that in theory I will ride places I cannot find a
