CatEye TL-LD1000 Rear Flasher--Finally a good, easily available,LED flasher
CatEye TL-LD1000 Rear Flasher--Finally a good, easily available, LED
flasher. I received a CatEye TL-LD1000 from Nashbar today. I had not been a fan of LED flashers due to the problems with field of view, and intensity, but CatEye has a winner with the TL-LD1000. It has six rear facing LEDs, plus two LEDs on each side. It has lenses over the LEDs, not just a red plastic cover. It's very rugged, and it's waterproof. You can turn on either the bottom or top five LEDs, or all ten. This is the first LED flasher I've found that almost rivals the visibility of a xenon strobe. I bought it for a new Dahon Speed TR folder, which also arrived today. The mounting is funky. It includes a seat post bracket. It also includes a screw that cuts threads into a hole on the back which theoretically would let it mount directly to a reflector bracket on a rear rack (the holes line up properly). However this screw is far too long, and you need some washers or a spacer or you’ll destroy the light as you screw it into the battery compartment. I used a spacer, and it works fine, with no bracket. The directions do not mention this mounting option, and don't tell you what the screw is for. "http://www.cateye.com/en/products/viewProduct.php?modelId=41&catId=7&subCatId=4" It isn't cheap, it cost me nearly $24 (with a Nashbar coupon code).
