Good light, horrible strap

On: 2010-05-23

The light works well, but the strap is wont hold the light properly on the handlebars. If you hit a bump the light dislodges and you cant see. You can design the best light in the world, but if it wont stay properly mounted, what good is it.

light output is tops, waterproof is excellent for heavy rains

BUT...

EXTREMELY POOR CLIP!!!

does not lock down hard enough to keep light in position on NYC street - any bump dislodges it

AND, since the light is very poorly balanced, the front heavy design immediately pulls the light down

ALSO, the cheap, hard, plastic strap broke after only a couple weeks of daily use

COME ON CATEYE - for a company that supposed to have their [...] together, this light is a HUGE diappointment!

Overall, this is a great light.

This light woks really well. The color looks slick on my bike, even when it is dark out and I am the only one that can see it. The locking feature on the switch is great so you dont look down and notice that your pants or coat pocket is blinking. The light is bright enough for my needs and the price. The only thing that could be improved is the strap that connects the light to your bike. Sometimes it doesnt seem to stay put no matter how much I fiddle with it. It is better than others I have had though.

very smoll , but good light

if you do to much night riding you may need something better ,but for casual bike night riding is more that ok...

I have two of these and they are an excellent light source for early morning rides
