The first SUPERNOVA front light

The first SUPERNOVA front light

LIGHT FROM A TOMATO CAN! - The idea came to the young racer Marcus Wallmeyer in November 1995 while eating pasta: "If only I had a good front light, I could carry on training"... There was nothing on the market at the time that could be used for long night rides. Marcus made the first Supernova front light in his parents' garage utilizing a can of tomato paste, a halogen burner, and a motorcycle battery. He could finally continue his endurance training during long nights and dark winter months.
