How do you get the VAT removed? Every time I have tried to an order with them the price included VAT. Which URL are you using? BTW http://starbike.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; are saying they will have stock December 6, 2012. Just tried it at https://www.rosebikes.co.uk/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; and it is charging 179 Euros + postage. VAT is included in that price.just4tehhalibut wrote:I've just ordered the Luxos U (the version with a remote switch for high beam) from Rose Versand, they won't get it into stock until week 6/2013. There was a sale on so I jumped in and pre-ordered, price was 135 Euros after VAT removed. At this time of year expect other sales.

The amount being charged to PayPal was the total including the VAT ...il padrone wrote:Just email them to confirm that the VAT will not be charged. First time I ordered gear from Germany (Tubus Tara from Unterwegs.biz) I did this and they readily confirmed this would be done. I think it should be pretty standard practice as they do not want to needlessly inflate their prices to international customers.

The comparative features are shown here:just4tehhalibut wrote:I have been wondering if the Luxos B is the same as the Luxos U except for the remote switch, by that I mean having the same headlight right down to the socket that the remote plugs into. If so one remote would serve several headlights and save bucks.

Excellent - And a perfect demonstration for me!just4tehhalibut wrote:... they've just emailled me to say that it's being shipped. By the time this arrives there'll be the next nighttime Audax ride, a perfect test.

Have a read of this brief review at BikeForums.HappyHumber wrote:The suspense is killing me!
I took my first ride this morning with my new B&M Luxos B. I'm powering the light off a Sanyo dynamo hub from Peter; the light's from Harris.
If you're thinking about this light, but you're on the fence, it's time to get off the fence. This is an amazing light. I tried to take a picture of the beam on the ride in, but it just wouldn't come out. The beam is every bit as good, if not better, than the pics on the B&M website.
Near field illumination is exceptional. If you look at pictures of the light, you'll notice the lens wraps around the side of the light housing. This is a completely different take than the flat lenses of the Cyo line of lights. This wrap-around feature lights up the sides of the bike and provides an extra level of visibility and safety. I didn't think I needed this, but riding with it makes a huge difference in the way the road presents itself at speed. This particular innovation alone is worth the investment.
Distance illumination is also truly outstanding. I own an IQ Cyo Fly, a Cygolite Expilion 350, and a Cyo R. The Luxos far and away provides better roadway and signage illumination than any of them. I've ridden the route so many times, I've memorized all the potholes and rough spots. Nevertheless, I felt that, at speed, the light's illumination of roadway obstacles at 30 feet was as good, if not better, than the halogen beams on my car making for a safe "see and be seen" commute.

Thanks for the heads up IP. Its a shame the 90 lux is for short bursts only but saying that, I've always found the 60(?) I think my Edelux is, to be more than impressive enough. So this lights low beam of 70 lux must have a real WOW factor. I look forward to the opportunity to see its output in the flesh.il padrone wrote:I believe the settings are normal, flood and flash. These settings are controlled by the handlebar switch. The light also automatically switches, in a gradual fashion, from a distance beam at speed, to a much wider panoramic near beam for speeds below ~15kmh.

Actually the Edelux is 80 lux. It's the B&M Cyo that is 60.rifraf wrote: Its a shame the 90 lux is for short bursts only but saying that, I've always found the 60(?) I think my Edelux is, to be more than impressive enough.

Hoping to see it in action on the next night Audax ridejust4tehhalibut wrote:Got the Luxos U and about to install it. Certainly a bit more on the ugly side than my Cyo lights.
