Best CatEye TL-LD130 Tail Light Deals

Customer Ratings:

I got the White 3-LED version of this light for the front of my bike, and love it (there's a 5-LED version, too). In researching bike lights, I came across the seeing / being seen distinction, something a lot of riders seem unaware of. Flashlight / headlight units aren't very attention-grabbing, and when driving the car, I have noticed how easy they are not to notice. Since I ride in a well-lighted city, I don't need a headlight, but I do need to be seen and noticed. And if I did need a headlight, I'd have two lights, one to see, and another to be seen, since the two functions are quite distinct.

~ Another thing I noticed from driving: a light that has separate elements blinking non-simultaneously is a lot more noticeable than a single blinking light or a multi-light blinking as a unit, which could be mistaken for a steady light coming into and going out of view (many of the lights in a busy street come into and go out of view as cars maneuver around one another). Lights blinking "against" one another provide a kind of visual reference for one another that distinguishes them from the common flow of moving lights.

~ These white, separately-blinking lights are a major step up in front noticeability from the usual headlight units, whether the latter blink or not. If you need a light to illuminate your way, get a light suited to that purpose. (Planet Bike's 1-watt Blaze is a very cost-effective one.) But for being seen from the front, the WHITE Cateye TL-LD150 or TL-LD130 (5 and 3 LEDs, respectively) are the best available candidates.

~ Sorry for the length, but I feel that the details are necesary to make the case for these lights. A headlight is not a substitute for one of these.

The light itself is great. It comes with two different options for attaching it to your bike: (1) a loop to go around a post or (2) a belt-clip. The problem is how it attaches to the different attachment devices. It slides into a slot until it clicks. It seems really secure...until you go over a hard bump when going fast downhill. I heard it smash to the ground, and I expected that the belt-clip had slid off, but that part was still attached to my pannier. The light detached itself from the belt-clip. This is after about 2-3 weeks of use. It was in pieces all over the road. I was able to find all the parts and put it back together, but beware of this problem.

Basic functionallity needed so dont be expecting any amazing light show.. but for what is actually needed from a Safety Light, it does the work really good !. The best part is how simple is to attach and detouch from my son's bike. It also come with an extra "attaching piece" that allows me to use it with my bike tool bag. Really good for the price. I recomend it for sure !

After having my taillight stolen (and, before that, my bike stolen), I got this safety light, after receiving the golden advice from a coworker put your light on your bag. That way, you don't forget to grab it off your bike. Plus, very often it's at a better height for drivers to see it and not obscured by your... rear. And this light is great the clip is sturdy and holds well, and the light is very bright. The fact that holding down on the button turns it off means that you can reach behind you and turn it off without looking a very subtle, but real-world advantage in the interface.
