Running on regular AA batteries, the EL530 from CATEYE is a bright little handlebar mounted beastie. Out on the street it gives a fairly tight spot of light, which offers a good amount of visibility due to the brightness, and would be useful for ring on ulit roads too...It has an easy-to-fit mount that owrks incredibly well and will even fit happily onto wing-shaped bars, with head unit being adjustable by twisting sideways, as well as the mount, allowing vertical adjustment. The head-unit is alos easy to remove by pressing the release button underneath, which is large enough that you could do it with gloves on. We got about eight hours of constant brightness from it on fresh batteries, with the light output decreasing a little then stabilising for the next 94 hours. And no, that's not a typing mistake.
In conclusion...
One of the best AA battery self-contained lights available on the market
