Oh, I had another question! How exactly did you wire these? And how many lights total? Maybe it's just the way Google translated your description, but it appears you said you have three rear lights?! I only see two pictured, but according to what I am reading, you have two "Line Brake Plus" lights in the rear, plus a "Secula Plus" w/ parking light? Here's how it translated: "A dynamo headlight from Busch and Müller IQ-X with 100 lux is installed and two Line Break Plus rear lights with brake light and parking light are connected in series, plus a Secula Plus with parking light for the fender where only a cat's eye was previously mounted, which I have changed." You've inspired me to copy your setup, and I am waiting for my parcel to arrive in a week or two, but I haven't the foggiest idea how to wire this up. Some tutorials say to wire in parallel. Some say to wire in series. I need to know, to determine which direction to mount my wires. Does it go in series: dynamo > headlight > rear1 > rear2?
I installed 2 rear lights as shown in the film, which I connected in series to the dynamo. Everything works without problems for 3 years... I hope I could help you... Please pay attention to the correct polarity of the cable... Greetings
@@HI-BikeandHike Cool, thanks for clarifying! Here's how I'd like to wire my setup if the circuit will allow: www.brassandmortar.com/files/dynamo-wiring01-01.jpg The two rear lights would also be in parallel. It would just be easier for me this way, to put one wire in each tube, rather than stringing one down the fender in series.
hello , how u mounted secula plus on you rear fender , because i watch piqtures of this light and it has a long sticking screw so i think it can rub the wheel
Not keen on the bagpipes but the video technique is very good. How did you position it so well at the back, with stabilization???? I actually intend to set up my bike lights exactly with iq-x, secula and toplight soon. Just waiting for toplight to arrive.
Hi, nice that you like the video. I stretched a selfie stick on the luggage rack and had the GoPro filmed upside down... was still the GoPro 7 Black. Gladly subscribe and like... Greetings HI-Bike&Hike
By the way, thank you for the video! It is super hard to not only find shops with European bike parts, but reviews videos of European bike parts. I'm curious, what dynamo voltage is needed to power these two lights simultaneously? Or is it no problem because they're LEDs? Also, what headlight are you using? Edit: Oh wait, I'm an idiot.. You showed the headlight in this video.
So far, I have had no problems operating the three lamps on the scar dynamo and the voltage is very loose. I can only recommend... Gladly subscribe to and like channel. Greetings HI-Bike&Hike
Bike dynamos are current limited. Usually either 400 mA (nominal rating 2.4W, for bicycles a dynamo powered front light and battery rear light) or 500 mA/ 3W (both front and rear dynamo lights). Incandescent rear light were 0.6W. Most of the LED rear lights are like 0.15W, so you can connect multiple just fine. I have retrofitted a LED rearlight to a bicycle with 2.4W hub dynamo and it works fine. However, adding a incandescent rear light to a 2.4W hub that is also powering a 2.4W (@6V) front light will result in significantly reduced light output.
It's all led lights and the dynamo would certainly do even more without problems. The efficiency of my hub dynamo from shimano is already very good. Also the brightness does not change with several lamps in operation... Greetings HIBike
Super

@@LuficariusRatspeed Nice Gazelle Bike 🚲 👍 I love the details from this Retrobike...
nice to hear a 3/2 hornpipe? - might learn that tune.
hello , how u mounted secula plus on you rear fender , because i watch piqtures of this light and it has a long sticking screw so i think it can rub the wheel
I shortened the screw to the thickness of the nut so that the tire has maximum space. otherwise just adjust the mudguards a bit... Greeting
