Hello guys. Do you know if is possible to change from 6v to 12v on bosch output by myself? Do I need special cable and software or smth?
It has to be enabled using the Bosch diagnostic software. Only 2017 models have the option of running 12V lights, all the prior year models run at 6V.
Are you sure in 100% that is impossible? :/ I have to return the lamp to store in that situation. That sick, 350 Euro for 500 lumens..
It doesn't need to be, but it's probably a good idea to use the Bosch mount since it keeps it pretty secure and the light does have some weight to it.Can I reuse the bracket my XM 700+ Super Nova is mounted on to mount an M99 Pure? Does the M99 Pure need to be mounted at handlebar height?
Trying to figure out if there is a good way to wire up commuter bike lights into Bosch system. I don't like the idea of charging yet another battery (or two) when there is a big one available.
I don't have lights picked out - I found few pointers on this forum. I will be commuting partially on gravel road at night with no street lights so quality light is critical.
Any advice or sharing of experience is appreciated.
I recently installed a pure +on my r&m charger cx. My bike shop changed the settings to 12v. Now the light works however during the day the main light continues to burn together with the daytime light. Does anyone might know what is going wrong here? Thanks in advance !!
There is an option in the diagnostic software to enable it (fully on or user dependent). They could toggle back to " user dependent" and you would be able to turn it on or off.
Take the bike to him and they can fix it in under 5 mins.
Bob - The system update will allow to run a slightly higher output light. You'll need to go into a Bosch dealer to get it. The Supernova M99 Pro requires a custom adapter to run the high beam and the low beam, but the Pure+ should not. I'm not aware of anyone installing the Pro as an aftermarket, but it comes standard on the Riese & Müller Delite Rohloff GX. R&M had an adapter made for this system and I don't believe anyone has one of these. We're working on it though.
My 2017 Bosch performance line motor EBike came with a low lumen headlight that no longer works so I’m looking to replace it with possibly light and motion NIP 500 or 800. Could I just reattach the new light since it already had a light-therefore light function is already on? Is it safe to assume the light output is at 6v currently and I could easily just use the NIP 500? If I want to use the NIP 800 would I then need to update the system to 12V? Thanks for your input.Yes, the update changes the light output to 18W max. Before, you were able to draw 6V, 1A-1.5A but after the update the system can draw 12V, 1.5A which is perfect for Pure+ which requires 12V input.
It's a pretty simple firmware update.

I have been a big fan of the Supernova M99 pro. I used it extensively during my Guinness Record ride. I couldn't imagine riding without that light.
But, I have to tell you something, it produces immense heat @ hi-beam and consumes a lot of power. ~35watts and that's roughly 10% on a Bosch 400Whr powerpack. Unless you have 2 batteries, Pure+ would be the way to go.

Thanks much for the feedback. Would it be safe just to plug in the NIP 800 light without first checking voltage using the Bosch software? As I mentioned it already had a low lumen light. Just wondering if by chance the voltage would be set at lower than 6v.Both NIP 500 and NIP 800 works fine at 6V, it is just that it operates at higher amperage.
It may run a tiny bit cooler at 12V. Overall, the NIP 800 would be a significant upgrade to stock lights from most companies.
