Wired-in front light recommendation for Cube ebike

[Dadam]

Hi, my other ebikes have permanent lights wired into the battery which is great to have. Why have lights that need recharging when you have a big battery in the bike anyway?

I'm looking for a decent quality front light for my Cube Reaction e-MTB, which already has a wired in rear light on the mudguard, switched on and off from the handlebar controller. I want a permanent wired in front light with a high beam/low beam button on the bar. The high beam (or high power) must be bright enough to illuminate trails and paths in full darkness, and the low beam must be ok for not dazzling other road/path users.

Ideally I want it fixed to the fork mount as there's no room in front of the stem.

I've seen this Cube Acid brand light which is obviously compatible with the Bosch system. The price seems a little high but I don't mind if it's a good light, though it doesn't mention a high/low controller. Digging deeper it seems any light of the right voltage would be compatible if I obtained the right Bosch cable or adaptor.

How many lux/lumens is needed for dark off-road riding?

I've got one of these AXA Compact 35 EBike Headlight, its 35 Lumens. I personally don't find it bright enough at my normal speed but at lower speeds I'd expect it to be ok. That one is no longer available BTW its just for comparing.

Someone took an image of the spread:

That cube one looks a lot better, heres a video I found of it:

I have the supernova M99 Pro wired into my ebike- fantastic high low beam with day light running lights too, pricey but quality

Re wiring, I bought the ebike version which allowed upto 50V supply. The original lamp was powered from a 12V supply from the ebike motor. I wired in a relay, so the 12V controlled the 50V supply from the battery. Placed little PCB relay and wires inside cavity of battery area. Plenty of room for small additions

Anyone know how you can wire a set of lights into a Bosch Purion controller??

and how much it costs and if it needs a LBS (or other dealer) to reconfigure the system??
