Submitted by Roger a Weekend Warrior from UK
Date Reviewed: October 12, 2004
Duration Product Used:More than 3 years
Price Paid: $20.00
Purchased At:Halfords
Strengths:Pretty bright for a battery light and better than any of the commercial LED lights. Reasonably well made too. Runs best on NiMH rechargeable batteries.
Weaknesses:Probably wouldn't survive being dropped. Battery life only 1 hour 10 mins with NiCd batteries - about 2 hours with NiMH. Flashing LEDs are rather dim and barely visible with main lamp on.
Similar Products Used:Cateye HL-EL200 LED front lamp.
Bike Setup:Whatever - this clips on any of the bikes.
Bottom Line:A good cheap battery light if you can find one.
Value Rating:5Overall Rating:4

Date Reviewed: October 11, 2001
Duration Product Used:3 months
Price Paid: $20.00
Purchased At:don't remember
Strengths:Goodlooking, bright, practical. Both Halogen and LED. Battery indicator.
Weaknesses:not found any
Similar Products Used:Cateye and Smart
Bike Setup:Regular Hard Rocx Comfort Machine.
Bottom Line:I use it as a backuplight. The halogen lamp is brighter than similar products from Cateye and Smart. I have only found 1 similar light that offers the same brightness, Sigma Ellipsoid. In urban areas you switch to LED and preserve batteries. Actuallly, you can have both halogen and LED on at the same time, which is nice in fog or heavy rain. The light is run by AA-batteries which is most efficient comparing size/weight and discharge-time. I also use this bikelight as a flashlight due its nice design. It fits nicely in your hand.
