Dit is wat ik van de site van Peter White haal, de amerikaanse importeur van B&M en Schmidt:
While Busch & Müller LED headlights can be used with or without a wired taillight attached, the LED will run hotter without a taillight attached, and when it runs hotter, it will not last as long. It will still last many thousands of hours, but it will run many thousands more if it doesn't get quite so hot. Also, when the LED isn't as hot, it is more efficient, and in some circumstances, perhaps even a bit brighter. (The brightness issue is something I've picked up by reading about these headlights. It's not something I've tested myself, so please don't hit me with questions about how much brighter, etc this or that light will or might be in this or that circumstance. In other words, don't ask me about it, because this is all I know about it.) My advice is simply this, if you wish to use an LED type headlight, I recommend that you also use a wired taillight along with it. If you simply can't cope, just couldn't even imagine getting out of bed in the morning if you must have a wire running past your saddle, either get an LED headlight and accept shorter life, or get a halogen headlight. The E6 is every bit as wonderful as it has ever been.
This applies to the Lumotec IQ Fly series (six models) and the DLumotec Topal (four models) and DLumotec Oval series headlights (six models).
Maar een goed acherlicht dat op de dynamo werkt is best heel fijn: als je de kabel netjes verwerkt zie je er bijna niets van, en heb je ook achter altijd licht. Bovendien heb ik de stellige indruk dat led acherlichten op de dynamo feller zijn dan batterijachterlichten, zeker als de baterij niet helemaal vol meer is.
