Great Light, Great Value

Rating:*****
I wanted a light that was bright but not too bright. I considered some of the lights with they white broadcasting LED. From a distance they are certainly brighter but I often ride with a group and have guys who follow and that would be a little on the rude side for them. I looked at all the catz eye lights they had in stock and this one made more sense. It has 5 LED’s they are bright and they really light the entire unit up (due to the diffusion in the unit). It was more noticeable than some of the other 3 or 5 LED lights. The light has two modes, flash and continuous. The mount is nothing to crow about. It’s a single screw system with the actual holder coming off one side. It seems a bit sturdier than some of the cheaper mounts I’ve seen but its not a quality rig by any means. It should do the job well enough. Changing the batteries is about average. There are two slots on either side between the back of the unit and the weather seal. You get a coin or screwdriver and pop it open. Runs on 2x AAA’s (included). Snaps back together easy. The back clip is also average when it comes to fastening to bags, clothing and whatnot. It’s a medium length clip, it holds but could come off of something other than a properly sized strap. Better than some, not as good as others. So in summary ProsBrightNo serious flawsGreat price ConsNone really for its price point.Not as compact as other units. ConclusionIf your looking for a good serviceable unit that is bright and doesn’t have any serious flaws for a good price this will do you well. It is an excellent value.
