Hi, I post here because I've been told that there are some very knowledgeable people around here. My question is: have any of you had real life experience powering a LUMOTEC IQ Cyo T Premium senso plus with batteries? I ask this because I'm going to do an all-night bicycle ride and would really like to use this light, but for various reasons can't use my dynohub wheel.
B&M instructions for Cyo T say:
"The headlamp is intended for powering with dynamos (AC voltage) only.
If you require a special E-bike version of the headlight for DC voltages from 6 to 42 V, please contact your specialized dealer.
When powered by DC voltage, the polarity of the connection has to be reversed: mass connected to +, current connected to -."
For Cyo (non T):
"Connection to rechargeable battery
If you connect the headlamp to a rechargeable battery (entirely at your own risk) make sure to observe correct polarity, i.e. "plus" to the earth inlet and "minus" to the current inlet. Maximum brightness is attained at a voltage range between 7.2 and 7.5 V (7.5 V must not be exceeded)."
To me this isn't clear at all. Would some B&M expert advise me? Thanks.
