![]() ![]() There’s also a lot of merit in checking out the brand of the product and looking at the various brands that are selling Lights. It’s worth writing a list of the “must-have” features so that you don’t end up compromising and missing some important features, or alternatively end up buying an unnecessarily high specced product. However you should think about the sort of features that you’d expect when buying new Lights. Again the table above, listing the features will give you a really good overview. Similarly you’ll also want to spend some time looking at the features too. It’s then up to you to decide if it meets your expectation. Take a look at the specs above and you should be able to see the material. Looking at what Cateye Ampp 400 Front Light is made of will give you a really good idea of the quality overall. Let’s take at a look at the sort of things you can look at when trying to ascertain the quality of Cateye Ampp 400 Front Light. As you’d imagine it’s especially important when buying Lights. Hopefully this should last a very long time.Quality is without doubt one of the most important factors that we consider when buying bikes, parts, accessories or clothing. I did note that it was also made in Japan. ![]() ![]() I have attached it to my Brompton by customising mount fork and it folds without any issues.Īlthough it was a bit pricey it was well worth the investment. The real life battery life is decent but I pretty much recharge it every 2-3days anyway. This has proved to be a very reliable and excellent light to use in the evening rides home. The lights are paired with your phone when you first set it up in the Cateye Sync App where you can customise what settings are available on the lights, and also able to see the battery percentage. The rear light is extremely bright with a range of settings and it can be seen from a long distance.ĭaytime HyperFlash(50 lumens):30 hrs Weight: 43g (with battery) Dimensions: 74.5 x 26 x 28mm How does it Sync? USB rechargeable (Micro USB cable included).Mounts securely to the seat post with the rubber band (12-32 mm).Built-in acceleration sensor for Kinetic mode.This rear light has a built-in accelerometer that switches to max mode as you decelerate. Settings:ĭaytime HyperConstant(500/100 lumens): 18 hoursįlashing(100 lumens): 130 hrs Weight: 94 grams (light unit and battery) Dimensions: 41.5 x 33.5 x 93.5 mm The 500 lumen is the highest setting and should last about 2 hrs. The light is extremely bright and lights up the road very well both in well lit up areas and in unlit areas. Li-ion battery can be charged via Micro USB.The main light is jam packed with 500 lumen output with a side visibility design gives the power to not only see, but be seen as well. What interested me most was the small size of the lights given the high lumen output! and the rear light had a accelerometer that detects if you are slowing down (braking) and will light up the rear lights at maximum output (like a motor vehicle would!). The Cateye Sync Core Set include both front and rear lights which syncs to the one button to turn on and off. I did a lot of research and settled on the below pair which I thought was exceptional value for money for the technology. It was time for me to upgrade the lights on my bike. It is Autumn in the UK now and with winter approaching, this means shorter days and colder/wet weather. ![]()
