Lighting Gurus,
Do any of you have any opinions of Cateye's halogen battery operated
headlights?
I believe that the MC-200 is the original Cateye Micro which is a 2.4W
4 AA light. These are supposedly bright enough to see by and I think
they are popular with commuters and shorter brevet riders. This light
appears to have been discontinued as there is no information except
for parts on the Cateye web site.
It looks like the replacement for the MC-200 is the HL-500II (Micro
II?) It has the same battery and bulb arrangement as the MC-200. I was
wondering if the optics and the overall light is better or worse than
its predecessor. It does look like the reflector diameter is smaller
on this one.
It appears that these both use a proprietary over driven halogen bulb.
Are these bulbs only available from Cateye? It looks like Cateye is
really trying to push towards LED technology so am wondering how long
bulbs for their halogen lights will be available.
Thanks for your thoughts.
