The Edelux II is definitely a little brighter than the old Cyo, and much wider as well.
Most likely the video thing is caused by the camera adjusting it's exposure settings during the video.
If you want other confirmation, you can search for "peter white dynamo beam shots" and you should be able to find the old Cyo shots and the new Schmidt Edelux II shots taken at the exact same exposure settings.
But I know for sure from personal experience with both lights, not just from reading.

is it me or does the older cyo's beam look brighter? open each test in it's own window, flip back & forth & watch each at the same time. the old light's beam whiler smaller looks bighter in most situations & in bright light it's less drowned out by street lights than the premium. the old cyo does throw some stray light near the bike & to the sides that the films don't show.
