Comments on: Review: Supernova E3 Pro dynamo light and tail light http://www.bicycles.net.au/2011/03/review-supernova-e3-pro-dynamo-light-and-tail-light/ The Top Australian Cycling Portal Wed, 19 Jun 2013 08:07:00 +0000 hourly 1 By: Danny Neumann http://www.bicycles.net.au/2011/03/review-supernova-e3-pro-dynamo-light-and-tail-light/#comment-20969 Danny Neumann Mon, 02 Apr 2012 10:07:05 +0000 http://www.bicycles.net.au/2011/03/review-supernova-e3-pro-dynamo-light-and-tail-light/#comment-20969 I agree with Christopher’s comments about the front light – it gives a superb beam which can be angled so as not to dazzle oncoming riders, but still throw a long bright beam on the path. Streets ahead of the Busch & Muller I had before.

One drawback he didn’t mention is that the stand-light is not controlled by the switch: you switch it off and the stand-light stays on till the capacitor is drained. This I find a real design fault, and unsafe. If I stop at the shop on my way home from work and switch off the light, the capacitor drains; then at the red light 100m down the road I have no stand-light because the capacitor hasn’t had time to recharge. I’d love to know if you can easily rewire it so the stand-light is controlled by the switch.
