I currently use a B + M Lumotec headlight, which is powered by a hub-generator. Recently, I was browsing the Internet, and I discovered the Lumotec Cyo (also made by B + M), which delivers rather more light, and also is powered by a hub-generator (I'm not interested in battery-operated lights). Is anyone familiar with both these items?
My question is, other than cost, is there a downside to going from the Lumotec to the Cyo? As both are run by a 6V generator, will I be pedaling much (or, noticeably) harder with the Cyo than I do with my Lumotec? (With the Lumotec, I really feel no difference at all in pedaling whether the light is turned on or off.)
Also, my headlight attached to a taillight. Does the Cyo, too, permit this wiring?
Thank you.
