Description:
The Cateye Tripleshot houses three LEDs in a big housing with a big heatsink. It uses a NiMh battery covered in Neoprene. Introduced a few years ago, this system shows its age and has been updated with the Cateye Tripleshot Pro that features twice the light a Lithium battery.
Light Head Close ups:
Light Meter Readings:
On our light meter readings, it measured 11 Lux. This is close to the readings we got for both the Light and Motion Stella and the Niterider Trinewt.X2 at 12 Lux
Mounting Options:
The Cateye Tripleshot can only be mounted on the handlebar. It can be aimed left to right easily. The switch is external and is mounted close to the either handlebar grip.
Strengths:
Weaknesses:
Bottom Line:
What happened? The leading edge of last year's crop of LED lights got left behind very quickly. It's not bright enough and too heavy.
It is worth noting that an upgraded version called the Cateye Triple Shot Pro is now available. It features upgraded LEDs and a Lithium Ion battery. It retails for $449.
