moultoneer's Review of Cateye el530
24th Mar 2009
Overall Rating
- Value for money
I've used this Cateye el530 light for night riding over the winter months and can honestly say that it's not up to the job as a main light for dark lane use.It's okay if you are travelling at very slow speeds but if you want to go fast down unlit country lanes safety issues arise when using the cateye.The main problem is the beam....it has a very bright centre spot which lights up a very limited area on the road surrounded by a flood beam which isn't much use at all.Cateye would have done better to spread the power contained in the spot beam over a wider area......I just can't understand the beam pattern they have employed in this light.I have now replaced this light with a busch and muller ixon iq which is a fantastic light easily capable of lighting the way on unlit country lanes.....although it is quite pricey. Good points are magnetic switch,very visible to other road users.
