Where To Buy

Chain Reaction






Submitted by Speeder a from The Netherlands
Date Reviewed: March 18, 2004
Duration Product Used:Less than 1 month
Price Paid: $6.95
Purchased At:Bike Shop
Strengths:Longer runtime then C-cell battery powered lights
Quick-release mount
Weaknesses:Big and heavy
Much shorter battery life compared to LED lights while not being considerably brighter
Similar Products Used:Cateye HL-500II, EL-200, LED blinkies
Bottom Line:This light is ment to be seen by, not to see with. It might be inexpensive at first but the battery changes will add up in the long run. You're better off buying a white LED light which are much more noticeable and have much longer battery life.

Favorite Trail:any
Duration Product Used:1 Year
Price Paid: $10.00
Purchased At:AAFES
Strengths:Very inexpensive, very durable and decent battery life, easy to remove and re-attatch
Weaknesses:Kinda heavy with the D cells in it, pain in the butt to change batteries

Bike Setup:92 Peugeot Lafayette, with nashbar cast x pedals and custom seat.
Bottom Line:This is a great light for the price. You can buy better, but when is this not the case? I am quite satisfied with this product and the only thing that sucks is I can't find this model anywhere anymore. I would definately buy another.
