Our HL-104 and HL-104 USB offer even more lighting power with the same flexibility. The white high-power LED generates a whopping 40 lux and is thus 400% brighter than stipulated by StVZO (German road traffic licensing regulations). Both front lights have been awarded a German approval mark and are fully approved. The front lights have two levels of brightness. The HL-104 lights up to 30 hours in eco mode and up to 3 hours in high power mode. A battery charge indicators makes it easy to see the remaining charge level. The robust aluminium casing ensures that heat is optimally dissipated.

In our dynamo light range, we are offering a new top-of-the range model in the form of the HL-2001 X/O, which with its 70 lux has a luminosity unique in the CONTEC range. The LED front light has a sophisticated lens that ensures maximum light output. Thanks to an integrated light/dark sensor, the HL-2001 X/O switches on automatically when it gets dark. And when you come to a halt, the stationery light offers additional safety thanks to improved visibility. The front light can also be turned off fully via a switch, so as not to catch the attention of thieves when locking up the bike.
And for retro enthusiasts, there is our Retro Classic model, an approved dynamo front light in a classical design thanks to its elegant housing in stainless steel look. The Retro Classic is supplied with an integrated reflector and is available in different versions. For example, the Retro Classic N++ model has an on/off switch, stationery light function, automatic switch-on with light/dark sensor. The basic version comes with an on/off switch for the hub dynamo.

Bike light FAQ
Question: What does “German approval mark” mean?
Answer: Lights on vehicles such as cars or bicycles are subject to statutory requirements. In Germany, the StVZO (German road traffic licensing regulations) regulates the “technical lighting setup on bicycles”. Here, it is specified which requirements a front or tail light must satisfy. Whether a manufacturer meets these specifications is reviewed by the Federal motor transport authority. If a bike light complies with the requirements, this model is given a “K-number” or approval mark. This approval mark confirms that the lighting complies with StVZO.
Question: Am I allowed to use lights on my bike that do not have any approval marks?
Answer: If I am moving in road traffic, I must ensure that my lighting is StVZO-compliant. The rules in the German road traffic regulations ensure that all road users are protected. Non-StVZO-compliant lighting may dazzle other road users and thereby pose a risk. The only exception here are personal safety lights that are worn on the body or clothing and serve as additional lighting.
Question: What is lux?
Answer: The lux unit of measurement measures the illuminance on a surface and is comprised of the luminous flux (lumens) and a unit area. The illuminance of 10 lux corresponds to 10 lumen per square meter. With bike lights, the lux number is measure only from the center of the light beam.
Question: What does lumen mean?
Answer: The lumen unit of measurement indicates the strength of luminous flux and measures the luminous intensity projected in a given solid angle from a light source. Thus, lumens say something about the radiation power of a light source.
