The Lowdown: CatEye Volt 1600
Surpassed last year the by the Lezyne Mega Drive and Light & Motion Taz 1500, CatEye upped its output from 1200 Lumens to 1500 Lumens this year. It still uses the same reliable chassis and mounting.
Price has gone up a hair to $220, but it is still a fair deal for such a powerful, high-quality light. 2-hour runtime is quite good but the implied bonus is at a very useable 800 Lumens and a 4 hour runtime.
