Halogen headlamp - 10 Lux

Rechargeable headlamp IXON - 20 Lux

Rechargeable headlamp IXON IQ - 40 Lux

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 well-known rechargeable headlight IXON has often emerged from product testing as the winner, among others, from the highly-regarded Stiftung Warentest (independent German product and services testing foundation) tests in March 2006. Busch & Müller is now introducing this success model from their sports line with the revolutionary new illumination technology IQ-TEC.

The most remarkable technical feature of IQ-TEC is an invention by Busch & Mueller, a distinctive special reflector, exclusively and specially developed - 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 centre of the reflector. Busch & Müller 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.

The IXON IQ only requires rechargeable batteries (2,100 mAh), to illuminate for five hours with up to 40 lux, that exceeds the German road traffic regulation standards (StVZO) requirement by 300 percent. The 40 lux are measured at 10 metres from the headlight, not just directly in front! With the Eco/city mode IXON can be switched down to the 10 lux output required by the StVZO for a full 20 hours.
