IXON Standard L.E.D. Headlight Without Batteries
LT1671 $87.95

IXON Standard with NiMH Batteries and Charger
LT167 $117.95

Very bright 1 watt LED headlight. Powered by four NiMH (Nickel Metal Hydride) rechargeable AA or alkaline AA batteries.

Focused beam is similar to the Lumotec and other high quality generator headlights. Relatively sharp horizontal cutoff to the top of the beam to keep focused light out of the eyes of oncoming drivers.

The beam is brightest at the top, getting progressively dimmer towards the bottom so as to give even lighting to the road both close to you and far away, just like a high quality automobile low beam.

Available without batteries, or with 4 Nickel Metal Hydride rechargeable batteries, and optional smart charger. Charger plugs directly into the headlight from below. No need to remove the batteries to charge them. The charger will not overcharge the batteries and won't attempt to charge non NiMH batteries.

The universal-voltage charger is designed for German wall outlets which use round plugs instead of the flat type we use in the US and Canada. An adapter is required for the charger and we keep them in stock. You may already have the necessary adapter if you have a universal set of adapters for international travel. A small LED on top warns you when the battery power is getting low.

• Full power setting (17 lux) gives about 5 hour run time.
• Eco power setting (10 lux) gives about 8 hours.

IXON IQ With battery and charger LT1672 $146.95

The IXON IQ with revolutionary new IQ technology illuminates five hours long with up to 40 lux. That is 300% brighter than German road traffic regulations require.

The IXON IQ offers light output up to a sensational 40 lux.

The most remarkable technical feature of IQ-TEC is a radically-designed, newly-developed special reflector with integrated cooling system. The light comes from a high-powered LED that is used as an indirect light source. For this reason, there is no bulb or diode to be seen in the center of the reflector. Busch & Muller aptly describe this concisely and clearly on their packaging as "nothing but light". That is exactly what the cyclist experiences at night: The useable lighted area of the IXON IQ is uniformly illuminated to a maximum extent and twice as wide as with conventional reflectors.

• Full power setting (40 lux) gives about 5 hour run time.
• Eco power setting (10 lux) gives about 20 hours.

New! IXON IQ Speed with battery and charger LT1675 $245.95

The especially light, compact, IXON IQ Speed headlight weighs less than 100 grams. Its special accu pack can be carried in the jersey or mounted on the frame and can power two headlights if desired. An adapter for helmet or forehead use is available. Most important, however, is performance: believe it or not, the headlight with the revolutionary new light technology IQ-TEC puts out up to 50 lux.

If the IXON IQ Speed is installed as double headlight (only one accu pack!), the bike "burns" brightly through the night brilliantly illuminating the route with 100 lux for five hours. The biker can rely on 10 hours at 50 lux, or the IXON IQ Speed can be switched down to the 10 lux output required by German road traffic regulation standards (StVZO) for a full 50 hours.

• 2-position switch: High-Power-Mode: 50 lux (10 hours) City-Eco-Mode: 10 lux (50 hours)
• Convenient and safe electronic system with more than 90 % efficiency
• With electronically controlled charger, charging time approximately 6 hours only
• Makes an excellent helmet light with available mount. See accessories below.
