  • Anyone tried the b&m iq-xs ?

  • It’s excellent. Get it.

    Use it for club pace night riding regularly and it’s great. There are brighter lights, but they cost twice as much.

  • There's one on my partner's bike. I'd say the beam pattern isn't as good as the higher-end b&m lights, like the Luxus, or my Supernova - it's a bit boxy with very little illumination close up. Decent for the money I guess. The fact that the mounting angle is indexed is more annoying though, unless it happens to be at the right angle for your bike

  • Ha, came here to ask about dynamo light recommendations and in particular this one! Seems to tick the boxes of not too expensive and not fugly. I do have the IQ-X on my TdF and it's pretty great so keen to know how the IQ-XS compares.

    Edit: I'm gonna buy an IQ-XS and if it's noticeably worse than the IQ-X I'll swap them as I hardly ever use my Tour de Fer and hardly ever ride at night while touring. Will message you a bout a .de order

  • IQ-XS is great, got one on my Brompton, really bright. Much whiter light than my supernova e3. Different beam pattern but brighter.

    IQ-X blows them both out the water, I’m about to replace my supernova with IQ-X. Rode alongside someone with an IQ-X and it completely obliterated my supernova, the light look like it was coming from an old gas light by comparison.
