Busch & Müller has come a long way since the early "cat's eye" reflectors of the year 1925 to the "D'TOPLIGHT" with its integral automatic illumination function. In between lies a wide range of numerous product innovations, inventions and patents that have made cycling a lot safer and will continue to do so in the years ahead. Both manufacturers and cyclists benefit from the variety we offer of high quality systems that enhance both vision and visibility, allowing them to equip or refit their bikes to the latest state of the art.
The Tango-Bike made by Urban Solutions is just one example to illustrate a wide range of innovative concepts featuring an integral lighting system designed and supplied by Busch & Müller.
Optimized light distribution curve of headlamps of integrally moulded ellipsoidal geometry.
Leading bicycle manufacturers rely on Busch & Müller as a competent systems supplier of superior lighting systems and rear reflectors. Hence, Busch & Müller will continue to develop and produce intelligent and customized solutions for trend setting bicycle concepts in the years ahead.
Integrally moulded ellipsoidal geometry
The future belongs to headlamps of integrally moulded ellipsoidal geometry such as "Clerion" for Batavus shown here. Thanks to the computer aided surface design of the mirror reflector, this concept enables highly efficient utilization of the available quantity of light to illuminate the road without requiring a diffusing lens.
BMW
Busch & Müller designed and developed the complete lighting system for the BMW "Q-Series". The rear light features a technical concept fully integrated in the mudguard that sets new milestones as to function and design.
The LUMOTEC headlamp stands out for its particular design permitting the release and detachment of the front wheel complete with electrical contacts and the hub dynamo in no time at all.
Automatic Illumination
The difference that may save your life
Cyclist A riding a bike with a conventional lighting system is hardly visible to a car driver following behind in a dark tunnel. On cyclist B's bicycle, the super bright "D'TOPLIGHT senso multi" is automatically illuminated. Added protection that may safe your life.
An explanation of the automatic illumination function:
Thanks to state-of-the-art sensor technology, our "D'TOPLIGHT senso" products incorporate an automatic illumination function that immediately activates the rear light using light/dark and motion sensors while riding in darkness, during dawn or dusk or in a tunnel.
With a hub dynamo continuously in operation, the entire bicycle lighting system is activated via the "LUMOTEC oval senso" halogen headlamp so that there is no need for a rear light with sensor technology.
