High-end Manufacturing Down to the last Detail
Bright light - no problem, but for how long? The good old little light bulb lasted for no more than 100 hours; an LED may have a lifespan of 100,000 hours. For how long will the trappings last, though? The solid design housing looks noble and withstands even a commuter‘s rough treatment. Just as robust are the socket, mineral glass lens and easy-to-use switch. The SON Coaxial Cable safely conducts electricity. Good sealing and potted electronics prevent internal damage.
Convincing Light Distribution
It is not very difficult to make a lot of light with little electrical power due to modern LED technology. Not many manufacturers succeed in distributing light in a useful way onto the road surface, though: too much light in the nearfield and/or blinding oncoming traffic prevail.
With sophisticated mirror-technology (Busch und Müller IQ premium) the Edelux headlights illuminate the lane homogenously and very broadly.
One way to compare different light beams is project them on a white wall. What matters is what the light looks like on the road, though. Our comparison of light fields shows what makes an ideal light distribution.
SON Quality
-
100% Aluminium Housing
The aluminium housing ensures good cooling and is extremely robust.
-
Optimised Cooling
The high-power LED is soldered onto a copper heatsink which is directly seated at the aluminium housing: optimum thermal conduction guaranteed.
-
Potted Electronics
Epoxy potting seals the housing and protects the electronics against moisture and shocks.
-
SON Coaxial Cable
Good looks and extremely robust: the 2-pole coaxial cable, specially made for SON.
