The Ixon Pure is powered by 3 AA NiMH batteries, and is charged via a Micro USB port on the underside. Leave the batteries inside and plug in from either your computer, or from any USB source. The wall plug is for European wall outlets, so you'll need a $3.00 adapter to use it in the US or Canada.
The supplied mount is for 26mm and smaller handlebars, and it's identical to the Ixon mount. We sell a mount for oversized handlebars.
The Ixon Pure is quite bright at 30 Lux. It projects a bright rectangle of light at the top of its beam, and a dimmer area at the bottom, so the road at a distance gets plenty of light, and you can still see the road close to the bike.
3.5 ounces without batteries installed.
Run Times: High Power - 5 hours, 30 Lux. Low Power - 15 hours, 10 Lux.
On a dark country road without other traffic, 10 Lux is plenty, unless it's raining. In the rain, you'll want 30 Lux. And in the rain, the Ixon Pure will not be affected by water. It can rain on the headlight all day long. Any water that gets inside can drain out through a hole in the bottom. The Ixon Pure must be used right side up, both to allow moisture to drain, and for the beam to project properly on the road surface. Don't take the Ixon Pure with you when you swim the English Channel; but it's fine in the Indian monsoon.
