Date Reviewed: September 12, 2007 | | Favorite Trail: | on and off road | | Duration Product Used: | More than 3 years | | Purchased At: | don't remember it was so long ago | | Strengths: | Wow - I used this light off road once in a very great while. Really just had it for in case. Light is very bright. Anyone saying an LED is brighter would be incorrect. Had a friend tell me his 5 LED light was brighter. It did lay down a nice bright white light but mine reached much, much farther. After our ride I asked him to point up to the top of trees and you could barely tell a light was shining on it. Mine could still reach 30-40 ft. up in the trees like a flashlight. Buy the way - I'll believe an LED is Brighter than a Halogen when they start putting LEDs on the headlights of cars. | | Weaknesses: | Battery life would be it's only weekness. That is the price you pay for brighter. | | Similar Products Used: | n/a | | Bike Setup: | Schwinn Mountain and a Fuji Newest | | Bottom Line: | I like this light so much rather than spending the money for a brandnew LED I just a minute ago purchased a second mount for my FUJI so I could just use this same light for night riding this season. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

$20.00 | | Strengths: | This little beauty is the best designed small light I've seen. It puts out enough light for me to hold 20mph on a good road (I have excellent night vision) and lasts 3 hours on alkaline or industrial strength NiCads. It lasts 3.5 hours on NiMH and 9+ hours on lithium batteries. Even if your night vision is sub-par you should be comfortable riding this light at 15mph.
It's small and mounts above or below the handlebars. You can mount it without tools and it swivels left or right so you can point it into traffic.
You can change the batteries and even the bulb without tools. All you need is a coin or a key. I can change the batteries with my eyes closed - it's that simple. Why would any light be any other way?
This light is a must have if you plan on riding all night. It's so small and light you can leave it on your bike all day without hardly noticing it. | | Weaknesses: | None | | Similar Products Used: | Nightrider, Nitesun, Zefal, others | | Bike Setup: | Custom Serotta Concours | | Bottom Line: | I've got well over 100 hours on this light.

Date Reviewed: October 6, 2001 | | Duration Product Used: | More than 3 years | | Strengths: | 360 vis takes advantage (a little) of the light that normally escapes the reflector so that's pretty cool I guess. It also swivels a little so you're not aiming your beam 2 feet left of center. Pretty good price. | | Weaknesses: | Like other little lights it eats batteries like a bull-dog eating a porkchop. | | Similar Products Used: | VistaLite Road Toad. This is a terrible light in my opinion. I gave my wife my old one and one day she asked me if I was trying to kill her. The lever that holds the light to the mount snapped off very easily it is cheap piece of trash. I use the Cateye Micro on all of my bikes now. | | Bike Setup: | N/A | | Bottom Line: | Good little light for dawn and dusk especially around traffic. It serves as more of a safety device to show pedestrians and cars that there "is a little light coming my way". Wouldn't recommend for riding in total darkness or off-road, I don't think this light was designed for that. It is very easy to take on and off the bike. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

$20.00 | | Strengths: | Good focus, quite bright, as long as it works. Uses AA cells, and just 4 of them (not 5 like some Sigma). | | Weaknesses: | Bad contacts. Short battery life, forces you to use rechargeables, but then the battery indicator is a nuisance (well, basically useless). Worst of all, it tends to turn itself off occasionally. | | Bike Setup: | road racer | | Bottom Line: | Very good design, but I could do without the battery indicator, which would also save space. Some weeknesses with the contacts (all of them), but overall good for the price. Three for overall rating because it turns itself off in the wrong moment, making your ride anything but safe (note that you can't see the light has gone unless you lean forward!). | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

Excellent bullit proof quality as you would expect from Cateye. Well worth buying the additional power supply kit ( used 4 D cells) which extends battery life from 2 hours to approx 8 hours.

Date Reviewed: November 5, 2000 | | Duration Product Used: | 3 months | | Strengths: | Long lasting light for using AA's. Good mounting bracket. Easily adjustable/removable. Pretty white light. | | Weaknesses: | Not enough light for serious off-roading with speed. But this product definitely works for road-riding. | | Similar Products Used: | I have a BLT 6/15 W light system that I use for the rough stuff. I bought the Cateye first and it worked, I just had to go slower. | | Bike Setup: | Trek 7000 | | Bottom Line: | This is the best of the cheap lights! I bought it as my first light and it worked for road riding and slow XC. I now have a 6/15 Watt set and use the Cateye in the middle as a great spot light 6 ft in front to help add a more focused light directly in front. This light outlasts my $150 Can. set for battery life, and is what I use to get me home on the road after the XC portion. It has also been in a pretty nasty spill and suffered no damage. Good light, great price for mild riding. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

$22.00 | | Bottom Line: | This review is for the HL-MC200, which is the newest revision of the standard Cat Eye 4 AA-cell halogen light.
Finally Cat Eye has fixed the fundamental design flaw in this light. The battery cover used to be on the back of the light, and the slide switch for the light was mounted on it. This meant that the cover would often slide off when you switched the light off -- and as it wore it would start coming off over large bumps. Plus the light was very heavy due to the slide-out battery carrier.
The new version fixes this. The whole top of the light slides off and the switch is a pushbutton on the back. No cover ejections, and the light weighs much less.
The light itself is excellent. It kicks butt on any 2 C-cell light and completely destroys the 4 AA-cell Road Toad. The beam is wide enough to see the road in front of me and still light up road signs. It's not just a warning for cars, you can actually *see things* with this light. I get about two hours out of a set of 4 NiMH batteries.
The light can easily swivel side to side, so I have to straighten it occasionally. But unlike the Road Toad the mounts don't wear down and start rattling after two weeks. They also don't mark battery orientation well, so it may take you a couple tries before it turns on.
I'm extremely happy with this light. It serves me well for my daily commute and I don't have to worry about people stealing a $120 system off my bike every time I park. Five chilis for value, minus one for side play and shortish battery life.

Nice design. | | Weaknesses: | None that I am aware of as of yet. Very focused light which results in difficulty seeing outside the small projection area (but what do you expect) | | Bike Setup: | 97 Rocky Mountain "Spice" | | Bottom Line: | Great light... My friend bought another CHEAPY light and my light destroyed it!! (His was rated at 3W or 3.5? ...mine was about 1.5 times birghter and cleaner)
My friend then upgraded to a Night-Hawk Pro 10W Single. Compared I am not going to lie. The Night-Hawk is obviously the clear winner...
The Micro has some uneven patches in it's lighted area whereas the PRO was very beautiful to look at (Perfect light with no shadow...a very even appearance)
However with that said... it was almost unnoticeable in city conditions... both lights (seemed to light up the same)
Where the PRO excelled was areas with no lighting whatsoever... the MICRO is too small a light to do secure night riding... not to say it can't be done... but it requires constant adjusting of the light in order to make up for the small light diametre projection. (i.e. city I move it up... trails aim it down)
I still like the light very much and have ordered a 5W bulb for it. I anticipate some much improved results... in addition I will purchase another CAT-Micro and leave it at 2.4W
I will use the 5W to make up for the dark patch immediately in front of my bike thus allowing for more secure night trail riding... the 2.4W will remain well ahead of my bike as it serves for adequate lighting in this regard.
And it will all be for CHEAP... I will post again with another comparison to the Night-Hawk Pro ($140 after taxes) My Cat Eye dual system ($60 after taxes)
I am hoping it will then becoming almost undistinguishable (aside from the cleanliness of the pro's projection)
Oh, battery life is LONG on the Cateye at 2.4W... and no wires or bottle batteries to deal with... I really like this) | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |
