thepurist – first ride review for the Ixon Premium:
Wasn’t totally dark while we were out, but did a couple of loops round the village after we’d finished in the pub at the end. Does what I need it to do perfectly well. Main beam bright enough for 20-30 mph descents, certainly good enough for unlit towpaths, low power fine on lit roads. Bracket seems robust. Might need to adjust the angle on the handlebars to get it properly sorted.
It takes a bit of getting used to if you are used to an MTB light kicking out 600 lumen plus like a searchlight in all directions – the beam is focused on the roads and is narrower than an MTB light, but that’s easy to get used to. No horrendous dazzle to oncoming people/vehicles either.
Does look a perfect commuting light for me.
