@hippy is meaning that Supernova rear lights won't work with B&M/Schmidt front lights because they send AC to the rear lights, unlike the DC of the Supernova (as you noted).

Again, I've been running a supernova taillight fine with a b&m luxos U for a bit less than a year now :) No stand light though.

No stand light though.

I think that's what you miss out on - the LEDs will naturally rectify the AC input and light up but the stand light's capacitor won't have any rectifying circuitry and so won't charge up.
