(They now have a 2-watt model) Planet Bike’s lights work great…as long as you don’t ride through extended wet weather! In my experience, Planet Bike lights are NOT waterproof. I currently use a PB Superflash Blinky LED on the back, and a PB Blaze 1-watt LED up front. What about you? Have you ever used this light? What do you think of it? Most importantly, what kind of bicycle headlight would you recommend? The Cateye HL-MC200 might make for a great little commuter light (which is mainly how I’ve been using it), but even for short trips this bicycle headlight seems to do nothing but disappoint. I’ve never used the light on any kind of bicycle tour or trip of any length… and frankly I don’t think it would last through such an event. In addition to being a compete battery hog, it is far from electrically sound (large bumps frequently cause the light to switch off), nor is it waterproof.
#CATLIGHT REVIEW FULL#
The light uses 4 AA batteries and even at full charge seems to last no more than 20-30 minutes (if that). The problem with the light is not that it doesn’t work or that the light is not bright enough, but that it simply burns through batteries like nobody’s business.
Sadly, it is one of the worst bike lights I have ever encountered and certainly not a product I would ever recommend. In fact, all our grease, oil and air/oil dosing valves are offered either in carbon steel or stainless steel, at the customer’s choice.The Cateye HL-MC200 Bicycle Headlight has been in my arsenal of bike gear since my freshman year of college (over 7 years ago). The particular complexity involved in the machining of stainless steel is a common challenge for our technicians.
This order highlights in particular the production capacity of our machining and precision workshops. All of our dosing valves are also individually tested and adjusted to the micron in the assembly of pistons, which ensures total reliability and neutralizes any risk of leakage. Easy assembly and disassembly of turrets -by means of screws- allows them to be changed without altering the rest of the installation, which facilitates maintenance and leaves open the possibility of increasing or decreasing specific volumes easily through timely replacements of the turrets. Their flexible configuration, with removable turrets on a baseplate, makes them highly adaptable to any type of installation, since different injection volumes may be combined in the same block, favoring the most logical greasing at each point according to needs. NORTEK modular dosing valves offer many advantages to our customers. NORTEK’s modular dosing valves are a cutting-edge product due to their versatility, easy maintenance and proven reliability. Due to the distinct characteristics of the plant of destination, where the environmental working conditions are highly corrosive, all modular valves will be supplied, obviously, in stainless steel.

Our company recently signed an important supply contract for the Chinese paper industry that will result in the production of an extraordinary series of modular grease dosing valves, designed by NORTEK and manufactured and tested entirely in our production plant.
