OK just looking through the B&M catalogue to order lights (trade account with UK importer).
Is it just me or is the naming system a complete friikin nightmare? I have no idea what to get, esp considering this from HH’s link:
Busch & Müller IQ Cyo RT (= Cyo Nahfeld with daylight running lights)
Tested: 17 Nov. – 6 Dec. 2010
Worst bicycle headlamp I’ve ever seen despite the fact that it gives a wider and brighter beam than halogen lamps. The beam is a weird trapezoidal shape with very sharp cutoff and very sharply defined corners. These give a feeling of being trapped in a tunnel of light. I suppose it’s hard to imagine that if you haven’t experienced it. The sharp corners and the fairly strong hotspot attract your attention which is bad. The daylight running lights are annoying because of their colour (blue with a bit of purple), and because they are not diffuse and point sources of light. The beam is very weak, especially if you aim it far (so that you have light up to ca. 40m), it is much weaker than the Edelux, Philips SLD and Trelock LS885.

Note: This review is of course only relevant for the Cyo R and RT (for the R, disregard the parts in the review about the daylight running lights) which is the near field version of the Cyo (= 40 lux Cyo), not the Cyo sport (= 60 lux Cyo). The Cyo 60 has the same beam shape as the Edelux and is almost as bright as the Edelux.
