While I was considering a dynamo hub generator this year, I think it's still a bit out of my price range (especially since I don't need a new wheel). That said, B&M do appear to have some good battery options.

I have the L&M Urban 700 right now, and don't like the round beam... really want the shaped beam. Any rave reviews on a specific battery-powered B&M or other?
Well, so far I REALLY like my IXON IQ Premium. noglider wrote a good review of the Ixon Core.

So far I really like the shape. I was a bit perplexed at first as it wasn't exactly what I was expecting, which was a rounded beam angled down. After using it this morning (it wasn't dark, but the sun was still low in the sky), seeing the reflection off of cars it appeared that it wasn't blinding and drivers in their rearview. I guess I did my small part to help us all get along.I am pretty sure some people did indeed see me. It's a pretty bright light. I have no idea the lumens, but that 80 lux really spreads it around nicely.

I made my purchase at Bike Shop | Bike-Discount: Onlineshop mit Bestpreis-Garantie after someone else on another thread mentioned them. The set (back and front) and to like $110 with shipping, which seemed to be around the price without shipping I was finding elsewhere.
