Also they say that a dynamo light mounted mounted upside down won't have good optics & is likely to fill with water. Between the fork crown and the handlebars is best.

I am pleased with the B&M Lumotec IQ-X it's 100 lumens, but has a narrower throw & weaker plastic mount than the Luxos U. I think the driven led's are likely the same but The Luxos U IQ-2 is nominally 70 lumen, largely on account of the wider light distribution, thus lower light "density". The Luxos U IQ-2 will do 100 lumens for short periods of time until the internal cache battery depleats. The Luxos U IQ-2 also has a remote switch I don't like because the housing broke after 50 miles, & the switch seems susceptable to water intrusion & has to be mounted somewhere. So yet another wire.

The problem. with dynamo lights rests purely on the number of electrons you have in supply. Bright & focused or less bright & distributed. Either light I mention is plenty bright enough to ride by, but my preference is the IQ-X due to it's simplicity.
