The following experiences I was able to do with her:
When unpacking greeted me in addition to the actual lamp nor the holder for Porter and a Quick Start Guide. The mounting itself is uncomplicated (5 minutes for removal of the old lamp and orientation / installation of the new B & M-lamp) and can be performed normally even by a layman.
After installation, I raised a trial basis at the front wheel, to rotate it slightly and abzuverlangen the hub dynamo some power.
And lo and behold:
Although it was broad daylight and I just looked at an angle from top, the light clear (!!!) could be seen. So what!
A short bike ride later I was able for the first time experience the light function in action. Again, I was very postive surprised by the length and luminosity. Just awesome!
During the night, the light and the huge reflection surfaces are a real revelation. Since no one can claim that he had not seen me :-)
Meanwhile (6 months operation) has passed her "trial period" the light. My initial enthusiasm continues to have on hand and I have now also installed a Toplight Flat Plus the bicycle my wife.
Again briefly summarized:
- Very bright LED (even at low speeds)
- Wide beam angle
- Very large reflection surfaces
- Lasting, bright parking lights
My conclusion: Thoroughly recommended!
Update May 2014:
################
We are still excited about the tail lamp. In addition to this I can say that the performance of the built-in battery has not / hardly taken off. The parking light still works perfectly and is lit even after driving for a long time. Considering the fact that our bikes are parked always outside the house (also in the dead of winter) is not self-evident ...
The Bottom Line "Thoroughly recommended" persists.
