LT132A Lumotec-N Fly Plus W/Standlight

Lumotec-N Fly Plus W/Standlight
Model 174SNDi-04

Halogen bicycle generator headlight

The Lumotec Fly is Busch & Müller's best halogen headlight. The body is more robust than the Lumotec or Oval Plus, and the vertical beam adjustment is easily done without tools. The optics are improved, providing a wider beam with a sharper top edge, allowing the rider to aim the beam a bit further up the road without focusing light into the eyes of oncoming drivers. The lens spreads the light wider on the road surface, opening up the path ahead. But the high concentration of the beam at its top edge still helps you see further down the road. The more robust body resists damage when mounted at the fork crown and the fork is turned too far, pushing the light against the frame. While the Lumotec Fly can still be damaged if you push it against the frame too hard, it will take more abuse than any other B&M headlight.

LT132B Lumotec IQ Fly N-Plus W/Standlight

Lumotec IQ Fly N-Plus W/Standlight
Model 174QNDi-04

LED bicycle generator headlight

The Lumotec IQ Fly, new for 2008, has a new optical system with a more efficient and brighter LED. All of the light from the LED is aimed backwards at the reflector, and then forwards to the road surface. This provides complete control over the focusing of all the light coming from the LED. The beam is sharply focused, with a sharp horizontal top edge, sides and bottom to the beam, brightest at the top, getting progressively dimmer towards the bottom, like the finest European automotive headlights. With all of the light being focused, there is less spill light outside of the focused patch than with most other headlights. So most of the energy produced by the dynamo, and by your pedaling, goes into making light that illuminates the road.

The result is an extraordinarily bright and wide patch of light ahead of you on the road. While many other dynamo headlights concentrate the beam into a narrow patch, so as to give you the brightest possible patch of light, the new IQ system uses such a bright LED that the light can be spread over a large surface area, and remain very bright. It also means that outside of that bright focused patch, there's less light than with the typical headlight.

Do not combine the IQ Fly with a secondary headlight. The IQ Fly is not compatible with my Secondary headlights. These LED headlights can be used with or without a wired taillight, but the LED will last longer if you use a wired taillight. The LED will get hotter if there is no taillight attached, and the increased heat will shorten the life of the LED.
