CATEYE front and rear safety lights - my first true hands free device

CATEYE has many great products primarily in the bicycle safety equipment market space. The 2 specific CATEYE models this blog is talking about are as follows:

Front Safety light
SL-LD210-F

Rear Safety light
SL-LD210-R

These two lights provide never ending safety in a fully automatic fashion for bicycles, wheelchairs, scooters etc.The CatEye Solar is a unique safety light that keeps you safe in all circumstances – automatically. One 5mm LED turns on automatically when darkness and motion are detected and the high-visibility flashing mode keeps you seen.


The built in solar cell charges in 2 hours under good weather conditions and will power the Solar for up to 5 hrs. Available in both white and red for front and rear applications and comes with a very versatile bracket. I attached mine with adhesive Velcro strips.

These lights get a 5 out of 5 score on my coveted "hands free" scale.
Why?

1. No battery management is necessary - light battery charges automatically with the built in solar cell charger
2. No need to turn it on or off - unit turns on automatically when it turns dark AND if you are in motion. It turns off automatically when in sunlight or under artificial lights AND also when you stop moving.

Fantastic product.
