Top 10: The best lighting sets according to StVZO?

17 December 2018 by the editorial office

Accessories: It doesn't matter whether you're a commuter or an athlete. If you want to take part in road traffic with your bike in the dark season, you must be clearly visible to other road users and the lighting set must also illuminate streets and paths well. For this purpose, various manufacturers offer suitable lighting sets with the appropriate approval according to the Road Traffic Licensing Regulations (StVZO). We would like to give you an overview of different manufacturers and their lighting sets.

 

Top lighting sets: Sigma Aura 60 USB + Nugget II



3 modes, from 60 lux in standard mode to 30 lux in mid mode and 18 lux in eco mode, bring optimal light, both in the city and off the streets. By choosing the appropriate mode, the burning time can be extended from 4 to up to 10 hours. The AURA 60 USB is therefore just as suitable for demanding cyclists (e.g. commuters and athletes) as it is for safety-conscious recreational cyclists. The ideal addition is the Sigma Nugget II rear light with a visibility of up to 400m.

Price: € 59

Top lighting sets: Lupine SL AF 7

Although Lupine does not bring a complete lighting set with the SL AF7 lamp, it has made it into our top list. Thanks to the StVZO approval, it is ideal for road traffic and also serves as a top trail lamp. The 1000 lumen low beam offers enough visibility in traffic and if you then turn onto the trail, you activate the 1300 lumen high beam with the supplied Bluetooth remote control. The SL AF7 is a little cheaper than the SL AF 4, which has the same illuminant but only half the battery capacity.

Price: € 466
