in 6 months, my wife and I have tried 3 types of LED bike lights whose clips aren't worth spit. you so much as LOOK at a bump, the lights fall off, splat to the pavement and often explode into 3 or more parts.
NOT a good thing in a traffic situation.
how I long for my old Cat Eye Halogen. yeah, it was big and heavy, but it put out decent light and stayed put until you TOOK it off.
We have Cat Eyes now, and despite *sounding* like theyre really clipped in place, the grip is extremely tenuous; the slightest bump and they pop off. I find myself watching the light and not paying attention to the road, which ain't good.
Has anyone found a modern LED light which uses AA or C cells, which has a solid clip that holds the light on over all bumps, and does not cost a king's ransom?
We'd like to pay $20-$50, not hundreds.
Maybe helmet lights are the way to go?
thanks for any tips and info!
