Have you used a Maxx-D or Six Pack from Exposure? Any comparison?
"The main problem is the wiring. The lead runs directly from the light unit to the dynamo, where it ‘crimps’ into a connector in a semi-permanent fitting. There is no connector at either end, meaning that to remove the light requires removing the cable, which is ideally zip-tied to the fork to avoid snagging, and un-crimping the dynamo, or removing the wheel. Removing the wheel, for example to fix a puncture, requires the same."
I presume you can add connectors to get around this issue?

I have the six pack and the e3 triple pro. The six pack as you know is overkill (I have the original 2000 lumen model) I only ever use it on low beam on the road. The Supernova actually has a similar light pattern as the Six Pack, maybe a slightly wider beam. On the road I point both at the ground so the centre of the beam is about 25 feet in front of me, and this doesn't dazzle drivers and allows the road surface to be progressively better illuminated as you ride towards things, so a pothole for example is visible in the far distance quite easily, and becomes progressively better illuminated as you get closer to it. The clamp is easy enough to adjust so it is tight enough to prevent unwanted movement, but not so tight that you can't adjust the beam upwards when suddenly presented by a bit of off road, or undipped car headlights approaching. The six pack has a massive reserve power output, the supernova is actually more than adequate.

It's perfect, you can see where you're going.
