Came across this headlight and wondered if anyone has one or knows anything about them?
Thanks!

It is a quality light, so you really can't go wrong.

I'm not sure that there is anything substantially better in a similar price range and few that equal it at the same price.

The Volt 300 is a significant step up in build quality over the Volt 200, so it is not just the extra lumens in that case.

Tried out the new CatEye Volt last night. I was impressed. Our road is a 2 lane paved road and the beam easily spread over the whole lane and then some. So that coupled with the fact that it has a removable/replaceable battery we are set!.

Don't like the mount they use, the thumb screw can loosen, and I did loose one, sending the light down the road.
