Sep 3, 2001 8:10 PM Co. Cyclist sells a Castelli arm band light for $35. Is there anyone out there who has this or a similar (less expensive?) light and can fill me in on how well it works? Thanks

What do you want a light to do? MB1
Sep 4, 2001 7:33 AM Arm or leg mounted lights don't light the road well and are invisible from most directions. They might be ok as a third light for commuters that is about it. If you are just trying to get the smallest light to make you legal there are cheaper ways to do it. If you are thinking safety, forget this light."





When I searched for Castelli, most of the sites were for Castelli apparel and in non-english. Perhaps the ebayer had misidentified it and it should be a leg band light. When you think about it, an armband headlight would be impractical. However, a leg band headlight would make more sense, though not much more. Searching for "leg band lights" brought up a bunch of those crappy sites that try to make money from somebody clicking on their links, but no real helpful information.
