When zooming with a high-powered scope, objects farther away still can not be seen. The drug gives more color-contrast in dark areas but doesn't allow further sight distance into the darkness.The effects of Cateye are more potent than the Friend of the Night perk.Two jars can be found in Camp Golf's House Resort in the left storage room.A jar can be found next to a suitcase and a skeleton at Black Mountain, between some rocks near some highly irradiated puddles.A jar can be found next to Ratslayer in broc flower cave.Two jars can be found in the Searchlight NCR storage basement, laying on one of the metallic shelves.A jar can be found inside a dresser in one of the southernmost rooms of the living quarters level in Vault 3.A jar can be found near the REPCONN test site, just near the manhole with some other chems (where the Courier exits after the end of the Come Fly With Me quest).Two jars can be obtained from Atticus at Caesar's Legion safehouse twice a week.A jar can be found in the last room in the Prospector's Den.Large amounts of it can be bought in the Gomorrah casino.A jar can be found next to a skeletal corpse just inside Goodsprings cave.Cateye can be purchased from Doctor Ada Straus in Novac.When used during the day, the player character will lose the ability to make out many colors until the effects wear off. Ultimately, in my opinion, the Rapid Micro Rear is an excellent benchmark for rear LEDs, though I would recommend running it in conjunction with a bigger, brighter unit on really dark nights.When consumed, the Courier's vision is enhanced with a blue tint in dark places.Ĭateye is not as effective outdoors, especially during daytime. Not only is it neater, but super-dependable on all diameters. It isn't going to break any records but is up to the job.Ĭateye has embraced the minimalist and pretty universal O-ring bracket, which is a vast improvement on its zip-tie concept from a few years back. On clear, dark nights, it can be seen from up to 180m, 120 through built-up areas.
I've got 19hrs 47mins from ours against the 20 quoted. Pulsing is another distinctive, reserve-sipping option which, aside from those occasions when dusk came quicker than expected, I used as backing singer to a dynamo. > Read our guide to the best reflective clothing and accessories Visibility is a more modest modest 125m on the open road, 80-100 in town. Theoretically at least, urban riders could get a month between charges. Although 30 hours is claimed, 29hrs 47mins has been the best I've achieved. As it's only 15 lumens, I wasn't surprised to discover it's too weak for daytime, though turns extrovert enough come dusk. Nonetheless, 4hrs 54mins is still pretty frugal.įlashing has been my go-to setting and when mounted vertically, the light not only looks sleek but pumps out a surprisingly compelling beacon of light.
This put a relatively big dent in run times compared to pulsing or flashing, and it isn't the most pleasant to eyeball for any distance. The rapid mode lives up to its name and reaffirmed my belief that presence isn't a numbers game: we're talking 220m on a clear night, 150 through neon soaked high streets.

A life of 2hrs 51mins from a full charge is pretty respectable too. I was also pleased by its peripheral bleed, welcome at roundabouts or when turning right.
Visibility is good to 150m on a clear night, 120 on murkier rides, and around 100 through town. Though slightly softer than some, it hasn't accidentally engaged when bouncing around in a jersey pocket and it's surprisingly easy to operate mid ride.Ĭonstant produces a rich, red glow that grabs attention better than I was expecting after dark and won't irritate riders following close behind. To operate, just press its little grey rubberised switch for two seconds until the unit engages and you're ready to go.
Others will doubtless disagree but four modes (constant, flashing, rapid and pulse) seem ideal for most contexts. A rechargeable lithium-ion cell recharges in a genre-typical two hours, slightly less from the mains, with a charge indicator light denoting when it's fully juiced. It's a lot mightier than 15 lumens would suggest, and at a mere 21g seems ideally suited to sleek commuter bikes, or even lightweight/winter trainers.īehind the fetching, slightly Lego-like lens, which uses collimator technology to amplify the middle of three diodes, there is a slightly traditional feel. The Cateye Rapid Micro Rear LED is the baby of the Rapid family and marketed as Cateye's budget model, which has apparently been designed for minimalists.
