Lux describes the beam on the road; lumens only describe the bulb · review
The brightest approved front lamp in this hub at 80 lux, from a long-established German cycling instrument maker, paired with the BLAZE rear lamp.
Our conclusion The one to buy if you ride unlit roads. On lit streets it is more lamp than the job needs, and the Antimi does that job for a fifth of the money.
SIGMA Sport has been making cycling lights and computers in Germany for decades, and the Aura 80 is its mainstream approved front lamp.
Eighty lux at the front, StVZO approval, and pairing with the BLAZE rear lamp as a set.
Thirty lux with a shaped beam is enough to be seen and to pick out the road surface under street lighting. Eighty lux is enough to ride an unlit lane at a normal speed, because the beam is doing the work rather than supplementing existing light. That is a genuine change in what the bike can do after dark, and it is what the price buys.
An approved beam has a cut-off at the top, so a brighter approved lamp puts more light on the road rather than higher into oncoming faces. This is why comparing an 80 lux approved lamp to an unshaped 800 lumen lamp is not a comparison at all: they distribute light in different shapes.
On lit urban streets, the extra output is doing very little that the Antimi in this hub does not do for a fifth of the price. Buy for the roads you actually ride at night, not for the specification.

For an approved lamp with a shaped cut-off beam, yes — it is more than double the 30 lux of the other approved lamps in this hub, and it is the difference between being seen and seeing where you are going.
This reference is the set. SIGMA sells the Aura 80 and BLAZE individually under their own references, which is worth checking if you only need one.
