Edinburgh Bicycle News 22 - 28 September 2006

A light set for every bar and seatpost. A light set for every budget. That's Cat Eye.

Improved for 2006/7 with even brighter output; even more reliable build quality and waterproofing; even more positive switches (resist switching on in your bag in transit) and even better fittings (universal brackets) Cat Eye remain bicycling's leading lights.

Cat Eye HL-LD170 / TL-LD170 Light Set £12.95
Catchy name huh? Actually, Cat Eye's code numbers help you understand this Japanese company's light range. HL means Head Light. TL means Tail Light. LD means LED (Light Emitting Diode). The bigger the number, the brighter the light. This LD170 light set is the least expensive route to riding lit and legal this winter, courtesy of Cat Eye, the industry standard in bicycle lighting. The (lower) price, as ever with Cat Eye, includes their new Flex-Tight universal brackets, and the batteries required to power these lights for at least 50 hours.
Cat Eye HL-EL120 / TL-LD170 Light Set £19.95
EL is Cat Eye code for their unique Opticube-enhanced Electronic Front Lights. Even their least expensive EL light, the 120, is, at 50 candlepower, 5 times brighter than the HL-LD170.

Cat Eye HL-EL135 / TL-LD130 Light Set £24.95
The HL-EL135 is 60% brighter than Cat Eye's benchmark HL-EL120 front lamp.
Cat Eye HL-LD270 / TL-LD270 Light Set £24.95
For connoisseurs of lightweight-yet-perfectly-formed bicycle bits, these are probably the smallest cycle lamps you could use for urban commutes.

Cat Eye EL220 / TL-LD270 Light Set £34.95
With 5 LEDs the 170 candlepower EL220 is twice as bright as the EL135.
Cat Eye EL320 / TL-LD600 Light Set £39.95
At 1,000 candlepower the EL320 is the first front light here that doesn't just get you seen, it's bright enough for riding unlit cycle paths. Here it's paired with the 5-LED TL-LD600, which is around 4-times brighter than regular rear LEDs.
Cat Eye EL300 / TL-LD600 Light Set £42.95
‘The EL300 is still one of the best front lights available, offering reliable, bright lighting, excellent visibility from obtuse angles, and long (20/90h) run times from standard AA batteries. The AU100 is the best rear light around. This set is a clear winner, offering a mix of ease of use, stunning run times and typical Cat Eye reliability. At the price, the best set available.’ Cycling Plus: November 2005.
