Edelux
LED Bicycle Head Light
The Edelux utilizes the offset mirror IQ-Tec by Busch & Müller. Unlike conventional optical systems for headlights it catches quite a large part of the emitted light and provides a wide, evenly and brightly lit road surface. The Edelux is 3 times as bright as the best halogen headlight.
Since the front edge of the light field is clearly defined glaring of oncoming cyclists is avoided. Little scattered light diffuses upwards, which means it hardly glares the rider indirectly under foggy weather conditions.
The black ring around the mirror protects the rider‘s night vision against direct blinding. The antireflective front glass is scratch resistant and lets through 6% more light than panes made of plastic would do.
Schmidt provides constant quality by adjusting each LED precisely and testing every headlight before shipping to us.

Mechanics / Electrical system / Heat flow
Efficiency and LED lifetime mainly depend on its cooling. This is why we placed the LED on a massive copper heat sink, which in turn conducts the heat to the aluminium housing, and then to the outside air. At high speed the good cooling allows for an increase of 20% luminous flux compared to usual LED headligts, some of which can reach more than 100° Celsius (210° F).
The switching ring with its nose is undestructable and allows „blind“ switching even when wearing thick gloves. In sensor position the light turns on in the beginnings of darkness, uninfluenced by street lamps or car headlights.
The Edelux headlight is watertight. Its robust, low-loss coaxial cable resists even rough treatment.
The Edelux has a rear light connection, but can be used without a rear light as well.
