Supernova M99 PRO 2 45 Km/H

Supernova were the first manufacturer to launch a legally approved high beam for bicycles.  This is one of the most important innovations in the bicycle lighting industry since the German road code legislation.  The high beam provides excellent range and also a great illumination which increases the safety of riders significantly.  The approved bicycle lights now offer illumination for difficult terrain allowing the rider to more quickly percieve hanging brances, signs, junctions or poorly visible pedestrians; regardless of how steep and winding the trail is. The Supernova high beam has an extremely wide beam angle, thus ensuring excellent visibility of the surroundings

THE ADVANTAGE OF HIGH BEAMS WHEN ILLUMINATING CURVES

Supernova uses a special high beam with an extra large aperture angle. This provides light above the central light cone for improved illumination so that signs or hanging branches are much more visible. Standard front lights have a low beam that tilts to the side when cornering so that an essential part of the curve is no longer illuminated. The greatly increased luminosity of the Supernova high beam radiates far beyond the glare horizon and creates an excellent view of curves. This results in a much improved illumination of the trail when cornering. This creates an enormous gain in safety for the cyclist

HIGH BEAM CAN COMPENSATE WHEN THE SUSPENSION FORK DIPS

MTBs are known to have a particular problem:  Because suspension forks have a long travel and dip when you brake, the range of the front light can be reduced up to 90%. Supernova’s special high beam is optimized so that a lot of light is available above the cut off line, ensuring that the fork movement is compensated for and the view of the path is maintained. When you ride through the city traffic to get to the trail, you can ride with the glare free low beam. As soon as needed you can switch on the high beam at the touch of a button

High beam can compensate for the dipping of the suspension forks

Lighting for non dipped suspension forks

LIGHT SENSOR

In a fraction of a second, a light sensor automatically switches between the new daytime running light module with 12 power LEDs and the low beam. The high beam button is illuminated to indicate the respective operating status. In the 2nd generation, this front light now also has Supernova side safety lighting

Daytime running light mode: Automatic through sensor

Low beam mode:  Activates automatically in the dark

M99 MATRIX MIRROR

The future is now! Based on scientific research by the Lichttechnical Institute at KIT and funded by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy the M99 introduced a lighting technology that sets completely new standards in bicycle lighting. An LED matrix; controlled intelligently and combined with a highly complex facetted mirror consisting of 99 individually calculated surfaces; the M99 Matrix Mirror is designed for unprecedented brilliance. After years of development it has therefore become possible for the first time to pack highly potent automotive technology into the miniature format of a bicycle front light

LED COOLING

Supernova believes in high performance with the best possible efficiency. Cooling extends the service life significantly. The most important prerequisites for an ideal heat dissipation include a careful choice of material and sophisticated construction. For example, completely uninterrupted heat dissipation can only be obtained by a housing that is made seamlessly from a single piece of aluminium. In extreme situations, integrated heat sensors keep the headlight in an optimum temperature range. With extensive computer simulations, Supernova's engineers continue to find the most appropriate way to derive the heat from the LEDs. With more than twenty years of expereince Supernova's expertise can clearly been seen in this light

ALUMINIUM HOUSING

Supernova use aerospace aluminum for their housings because it is not only super strong but also has the best heat conduction properties. The better the cooling the brighter the LED. In addition the housings are anodized, salt water resistant and defy the most adverse conditions. Extreme tests in all seasons and climates by ultra cycling athletes on the road with Supernova lighting prove their outstanding reliability and durability
