Recently I had a Philips Safe Ride dynamo LED headlamp with 60 lux. This pleased me by simple functional design and great illumination of the road. Unfortunately, he had given up the ghost after 3 years and I was looking for something new, again for simplicity without batteries. The 80 lux of B & M lamp sounded good. Today the first test: When the Philips support was a weak point (wire hanger to screw holder pressed flat, prone to fatigue cracking) - sees at least sound out. The 2 plastic shells that are to dress up the bow (pictured bottom left) I find to be mounted unsound, falling as they are already off, you can leave safely. (At Philips, there was instead a reflector which also fell off at some point.) Well, the supernatant of the B & M lamp, which largely prevent dazzling, you can see the side still parts of the glass, but it hardly appears. (When Philips Safe Ride the ME is aesthetic solved and it appears nothing pure.) The B & M lamp is expected to be very bright, has a core area of brightness In Middle Of The Road, but lights still very wide left and right roadsides with less brightness from. Compared to Philips, which has an essentially concentrated on the road and the side gently sloping "quiet" intensity profile of the course is intensity over direction at B & M to my mind uneven, restless, that the reflector can be safely optimized. But even as it is you will certainly not be overlooked and sees itself always enough. Whether the daytime running lights for security which results I do not know, I have not tested. When parking light is not the main LED but the underlying (daytime running lights) LEDs light up. Feel well prepared for the winter with the new B & M lights, but also the more favorable Philips Safe Ride would continue to recommend any purists without daytime running lights - the weak support was supposed to be since been improved and the 20 Lux seem more at B & M rather the roadside as the road to brighten itself - is nice to have but not essential ....
