The SUPERNOVA M99 DY PRO is the world's first dynamo-operated LED front light with high beam function and German road code approval. With its matrix of 11 LEDs and new control electronics, the new SUPERNOVA M99 DY PRO produces light values up to 1,000 lumens and 200 lux. Prior to this, only high-performance front lights for E-bikes could achieve such values. As a result, the classic mountain bike gains a stronger environmental focus as well as an equal level of safety in road traffic. Once installed, the headlight is completely maintenance-free. It can illuminate the way in front of you for years and its intensity is always optimally adapted to your speed. Light sensors switch to a special energy-saving mode during the daytime, with a clearly visible daytime running light. For this purpose, the high beam and low beam diodes of the LED matrix are automatically mixed, ensuring the perfect safety light during the day. Within a fraction of a second of entering a tunnel, the headlight switches to a bright, dipped beam with a luminous flux up to 600 lumens.

THE M99 DY PRO KNOWS NO LIMITS: THE FASTER THE BRIGHTER!
At night, you can activate the powerful high beam function from a speed of 20 km/h (depending on the wheel diameter), which is signaled by an indicator LED in the high beam button. With up to over 1000 lumens, even rapid descents become a wonderful experience. With its 200 lux illuminance, the headlight then warns of obstacles with ample distance. Curves are illuminated by the light shining high up even with a strong inclination of the wheel with the high beam function much better than with a low beam. This absolute world first Supernova implements with an exceptional permission of the Federal Motor Transport Authority which is granted to products whose functions are not yet described by a regulation but which thereby achieve a significant safety gain.
The elegant, pre-forged and then high-precision milled aluminum housing provides perfect protection and cooling for the electronics and bulbs. Supernova has so much experience with the durability of the housing that an unlimited 10-year warranty is given on the metal parts under all conditions of use. The tempered front glass is impact resistant and highly visually efficient, and the UV-resistant, PVC-free cables withstand wide temperature swings, extreme cold and heat. All materials are carefully selected and subjected to strict quality control in our production facility in Gundelfingen near Freiburg im Breisgau, Germany, to ensure that the luminaire retains its brilliance over a very long period of time, even with intensive daily use. The construction of all Supernova products is designed to last at least 10 years. Even after this time, each individual part can be repaired or replaced. The assembly is powered by green electricity in Gundelfingen. With this headlamp you can travel around the world, go to work every day or have an exciting adventure vacation.
SUPERNOVA HIGH BEAM
As the first manufacturer, Supernova launched a legally approved high beam for bicycles. The high beam is one of the most important innovations in the bicycle lighting industry since the new German road code legislation. The high beam offers, in addition to the excellent range, a great illumination which increases the safety of riders significantly. Now, approved bicycle lights offer illumination for difficult terrain, and the cyclist can more quickly perceive hanging branches, signs, junctions or poorly visible pedestrians - no matter how steep and winding the trail is! Our Supernova high beam has an extremely wide beam angle. This ensures 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, which 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. Thus there is an enormous gain in safety for the cyclist.
