Supernova E3 Pure 3 Light
The E3 Pure 3 is a long-standing favourite – stripped down to the essentials.
The Supernova E3 PURE 3 is stylish, bright and lightweight. It is one of the smallest and brightest StVZO-compliant dynamo headlights with an aluminium housing. The LEDs have an average lifespan of over 50,000 hours. The Terraflux lens allows day and night lights to be combined in a single unit. This means we can do without unnecessary electronics and additional LEDs. As a result, the headlight is not only minimalist and stylish, but also even more durable.

Supernova E3 Pure3
Three standout features of the E3 PURE 3 It is stylish, bright and lightweight. In fact, it is one of the smallest and brightest StVZO-compliant dynamo headlights with an aluminium housing in the world. The switch-free E3 PURE 3 is a constant-on light, meaning you no longer need to worry about your light – unless you manage to exceed the LED’s 100-year lifespan. It thus offers you safety day and night. Only our unique Terraflux2 lens makes it possible to combine day and night riding lights in a single lens. The advantage of this is that we can do without unnecessary electronics and additional LEDs, keeping the headlight minimalist and stylish. A large number of road accidents occur because cyclists are overlooked during the day. This can be prevented by using daytime running lights. So why not simply ride with your lights on at all times? Thanks to our dynamo lighting systems, such as the E3 PURE 3, this is very easy. It consumes very little energy. Your headlight shines at any time of day without the need for additional LEDs.
Mount/Installation
Mounted on the handlebars, the E3 Pure 3 offers elegance in its purest form for your city bike, whilst providing even better lighting, as the fantastic beam of light can spread out even more effectively. Thanks to the raised mounting, the front wheel cannot cast a shadow either. The lamp comes with two cables: one is intended for routing to the rear light, the other is for the front headlight.
Terraflux 4 lens
The TERRAFLUX lens was a milestone in Supernova’s development and is now in its 4th generation. Hardly any other lens of this size produces such bright and even illumination. Thanks to sophisticated light guidance, the TERRAFLUX lens directs 90 per cent of the light to where it is most urgently needed: onto the road. There, it creates a wide and even carpet of light that extends from the front wheel far into the horizon. The permanent daytime running light integrated into the lens ensures excellent visibility of the rider in traffic during the day. At night, this light is used to provide superb illumination of the surroundings, making road signs and low-hanging branches clearly visible.
Aluminium housing
For our housings, we use aerospace-grade aluminium because it is not only extremely sturdy but also has excellent thermal conductivity. The better the cooling, the brighter the LED. Cooling fins on the housings increase the surface area, allowing heat to be dissipated more effectively. Furthermore, the housings are salt-water-resistant anodised and withstand the harshest conditions. Extreme tests carried out in all seasons and climate zones by ultracycling athletes using Supernova lighting demonstrate its outstanding reliability and durability.
LED Cooling
Maximum performance with the best possible efficiency is our credo. The enormous brightness levels of our headlight systems can only be achieved through sophisticated cooling of the high-performance LEDs. Because: the better an LED is cooled, the brighter it shines. Service life is also significantly extended by good cooling. Careful material selection and sophisticated design are among the most important prerequisites for ideal heat dissipation. For example, completely uninterrupted heat dissipation can only be achieved through a housing seamlessly machined from a single piece of aluminium. In extreme situations, an integrated heat sensor also ensures the spotlight always remains within the optimum temperature range. Through computationally intensive computer simulations, our engineers identify the most suitable method for dissipating heat from the LEDs at an early stage. Our more than 20 years of experience with LED spotlights comes into its own here.
