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.

Ah, the LED thing makes sense (wait - actually the connectors for rear light on the Luxos are labelled +/- so would indicate DC output?)
! Re capacitor I've read that it's the supernova front unit that takes care of it. It would make sense as the tail light is so tiny.Someone somewhere posted a circuit schematic to have some stand light with B+M front + Supernova rear.
edit: found it; http://bemme51.blogspot.co.uk/2017/02/bicycle-standlight-with-son-edelux-ii.html ; what I haven't found yet is the motivation to undertake the mod.

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.
