I (finally) received an edelux in the mail (from Germany; cheaper than order from the US but v-e-r-y slow boat for December order...). The darkest depth of winter has passed, but it is pretty slick. It is sufficient for me to bomb downhill ~25mph and judge and react... well, we don't have ice contours but I can see and navigate treefall detritus, which is what we have this warm winter. It is pretty much designed to look at the road (reflectors cut off stray upper light) so judging conditions in front of you is what it's intended for.

The edelux is displacing a niterider minewt, and it is giving me better function, easier use, and I can feel more smug about being less blinding to oncoming traffic, which isn't much but hey...
