  • Totally new to dynamo lighting, having just sold an Exposure Strada 1200lm I’m looking to get the brightest front light with the most road focused beam for dark countryside lanes.

    The Supernova E3 Pro looks good, but at 200lm, how will this compare to the 1200lm (although I mainly had it on the 700lm setting) of the Strada? Will the lens and reflector make up for lower power?

  • In my experience going from mega lumens to a well-engineered dynamo light (Son Edelux II) was no problem - yes it might light up slightly less of the buildings around you and fewer road signs 3 miles away, but the focus and spread is excellent, plenty bright enough for unlit paths and lanes. It's also super well positioned/angled for oncoming drivers etc, having seen it myself from the other way!

  • Spot on, also far more friendly to others too without dazzling.

  • Great - the lanes I ride on a 30 min commute, plus forest, mean it’s unlikely I’d come across another car - super rural and super dark. The Strada had a pretty car-friendly beam however and I like the spread.

    I came across the Sinewave light which also has no road beam in the same way as Supernova. I have a B+M IQ-XS to test for now and will give the Sinewave a go after summer.
