But the old light I am replacing is quite old (in photo) and overdue for an upgrade now that the newer lights are so much better.
It is my understanding that the XS has a beam pattern very similar to the Luxos B. On a different bike I have the Luxos U, which I assume (but could be wrong) that the low power setting on the Luxos U is the same beam pattern as the Luxos B. And I am quite content with that beam pattern, did not think I have any need the extra power for the extra cost.
