Cateye HL-EL500 vs. HL-EL510 Headlights?
I use four EL500's for commuting
http://home.att.net/~rhhardin/bikenight.jpg spreading the aim points out. You can get away with one if it's really dark, but oncoming headlights and other lights compete too much with the illumination from a single EL500, and you're blind to pot holes until it's dark again. Then again you can get away with zero if it's really dark and the moon is out and there's no traffic, which I occasionally do. -- Ron Hardin On the internet, nobody knows you're a jerk. |

if it's really dark, but oncoming headlights and other lights compete too much with the illumination from a single EL500, and you're blind to pot holes until it's dark again. Then again you can get away with zero if it's really dark and the moon is out and there's no traffic, which I occasionally do. That's why I use a Princeton Tec EOS 1 watt LED on the helmet. When the brights are right in your face, you can put the beam from your helmet, right in front of the front tire, and not hit anything. But without it, you're blind, like you said. |
