5.0 out of 5 stars great light, August 16, 2004

I've had this light for about 3 years. Great headlight -- I like the mounting bracket, and the bulb provides sufficient light for riding at night. Kind of a battery drainer, but I use rechargables.

My only complaint is that I broke the bulb and neither Radio Shack nor the local bike shops seem to stock replacements. I'm off to do a Google search now.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very Good Little Light, September 22, 2006

This review is from: CatEye Bike Head Light HL-MC200 (Misc.)

Strengths: bright light beam, inexpensive, easy to setup
Cons: weird light pattern makes it hard to see out of one corner, battery cover can be hard to take off, unit feels kind of flimsy

I can get well over an hour with this little light (I haven't tested it past this point). It uses 4 AA batteries. I use rechargeable Nimh's (2400mah) and I get very good performance. Very good light for the recreational rider because of the low price. Beam is more than adequate although it emits a strange light pattern.

I tested this light with the LED's in the bike shop (I know it's difficult to get a true measure with indoor lights on) but this one seemed to be the brightest for under $40.

I would recommend this light to a friend who does recreational riding like me. But if you are rought with your equipment or do more riding, you'll have to pay more for a higher quality unit.
