Renea, California - "I love to support local companies. Thanks for being the best and American made."

Todd, Michigan -

"Two and a half miles from completing our ride, rain coming down, 30 degrees, and my poor brother's "#!?$" lights started to yellow.

Consequently, he rode in my beam wash all the way back. It looks like one of us made the right choice."

John, Connecticut - "The ultimate in lights."

Ed, Georgia - "The power from that little sucker is fantastic, and it has opened up a whole new world of riding for me. I found that it hurts just as much to crash at night though. The good part is you can't see blood in the dark; twisted but true."

John, Pennsylvania "I wanted the best of the lighting systems, and after picking it up today, I know I got it!!!"

BUDGET LIGHT REVIEW
Lights for a Light Wallet

TurboCat S10
"Best Single Beam"


Today's high-end bike lights make those of just a few years ago seem like, well relics from the dark ages. Still, the technology has been around long enough to undergo a trickle-down effect: Right now you can buy a great light for less than $100, compared to $300 and up for more advanced systems. To help you find out which of these new-generation budget lights best suits your riding needs, we got our hands on every rechargeable (non-alkaline) system costing less than $100 including charger. We burned them extensively on- and off-road and then rated them, considering beam pattern, run time and ease of installation.

TurboCat S10 Endurance with optional 15-watt flood (also available with 10-watt spot) provides excellent illunination. Nice strap OR mount, best case workmanship. Many options available. Only downside: short duration (1.7 hours).

TurboCat Note: Other battery choices provide more run time, for not many more $$. 10watt spot is also plenty bright and increases runtime to 2.1 hours with the Endurance batterv at the $100 price.
