Did it work? Received any lights yet? Maybe from more corrupt, non-Danish
companies?

Yes and thank you for the StVZO K-1009 light. It miraculously arrived
in one piece on Friday. I installed four NiMh batteries and it works
as expected. I'll be going some measurements and ride testing after
next weekend. The connector on the bottom seems to be for DIN 33958
6v 3w dynamo power. I have a cheap bottle dynamo somewhere and will
give that a try. Measuring the lumens output with my lux meter method
will be a problem due to odd spot pattern. I'll use graph paper and
just count squares.

I also bought a used Gygolite Streak 280 with a rather old battery.
The replacement battery and missing mount should arrive shortly, which
I'll add to my testing.

Thanks again.

Would be nice. For a dirt-cheap lamp, an oddly luxurious undocumented
feature? On roughly similar lamps, I've seen a "4AA cooker" charger
connection there. DIN 33958 includes dynamo powered as well as purely
battery powered lighting equipment.

give that a try. Measuring the lumens output with my lux meter method

This no-frills StVZO spot, while not representing the bare legal minimum
which would resemble an I-beam profile, was probably designed quite
pragmatically right along the TA-23 / DIN-33958 measurement grid:

Sounds like work.

These seem to be somewhat weaker, older versions. K numbers don't really
identify specific lamp builds: Once issued, one and the same number might be
reused by the manufacturer with new lamps - even if lab tests need to be
performed and paid anew.

Likely to look brighter on high and more even on medium than the K-1109. As
always, doesn't look as if it could do beam evenness and low-glare reach at
the same time.
