Busch & Müller Lumotec IQ2 Luxos U Senso

Product details

Basically, the following applies to charging with the LUXOS U: The integrated buffer battery, which supplies the charging current and keeps it constant, does not only have the task of supplying a USB device.
It also supplies the flood and parking light function. To fully charge the buffer battery, you have to drive for about 20 minutes at a speed of over 17 km/h without a USB device connected - and with the lights off. This means that the Luxos is optimally prepared within the scope of its possibilities for operating/charging a USB device.

The LUXOS U is not comparable to a normal mains charger for mobile devices; it supplies power to terminal devices. In running applications this can be enough to charge, in heavy power consumers it is sometimes only enough to slow down the discharge. The higher the driving speed, the more charging current is potentially available. At slow speeds, the buffer battery can never recharge in charging mode, because the dynamo only provides limited energy (about 3 W at a speed of about 15 km/h). Some mobile phones, however, consume up to 5 W. This means that the buffer battery is first charged without power being made available via the USB output. As soon as a certain state of charge is reached, the USB output is switched on. When the mobile phone empties the battery, the power supply via the USB output is switched off again at the minimum charge level and the buffer battery is only recharged. This leads to interruptions, which some USB devices indicate with the 'charging start' sound.

If you're looking for a headlamp that outshines the light of our IQ headlamps in terms of brightness, width and homogeneity, and which, as an additional function, subsidises the power consumption of USB devices during the day when the light is switched off, then the LUXOS U is the right choice.

With the new light and reflector design, Busch & Müller is raising the bar for dynamo LED headlights higher than ever before: 70 lux, light field twice as wide as before, many times more extensive, maximum homogeneity. Dynamo-generated light enters a new dimension - so wide, so far, so flawlessly bright.

Panoramic night light
The light field is excellent and wider than ever before: directly in front of the bike and even next to the bike beyond the edge of the road. Technology: additional special LEDs, electronically controlled.

Floodlight

The full power of all light sources. Ideal for difficult stretches in deep darkness. Switchable at the touch of a button. Function in the light: Flash your lights. When standing in darkness: full light.

USB charging option

USB socket integrated in the handlebar button. Charges USB mobile devices (mobile phone, GPS receiver, MP3 player) with USB power. The buffer battery integrated in the headlamp (see below) ensures a constant charging current.

Handlebar push button
Now control your light directly. Because all important light functions can be switched on the handlebars: ON/OFF, floodlight, flasher, etc.

Integrated lithium buffer battery
The additional current storage is used for peak demand and for the charging current. Constantly recharging while driving. The charging status is indicated by LED on the handlebar button.

LIGHT24. The daytime running light
Forward emitting signal LEDs. The automatic sensor switches automatically to maximum daytime running light in bright conditions and to maximum driving light in the dark.

parking light
Automatic. The special LEDs are specifically designed for safety perception. Can be switched off at the handlebar button.
