The Secula Plus burns out in about 30 seconds if used without a front light. I’ve killed two of them this way.
(B&M advertises OVP on all its rear lights, but some say “short period” and some say permanent. Secula Plus is the former)

Oh damn, that's strange. I've only seen that they have protection, except the tiny one, Toplight line small, that doesn't have any.

There seems to be a lot of conflicting information. SJS don’t stock anything that will run directly from a Dynamo yet Peter White cycles has an article which specifically says that any B+M rear light post 2015 can run directly from the Dynamo.

Those lights don't seem to have connectors for a rear light? So you'd have to either plug it straight to the hub or if you want it to switch on/off like the front light, split the cable after the switch. And you'd need a rear light that has overvoltage protection to use it without the front light in between, like many of the B&Ms have, Secula Plus for example.
