Cateye Econom HL-EL540

Cateye's latest headlight - the HL-EL540

I've been a big fan of Cateye cycling products and so far, their goods have never failed to impress me. 
Well, with the exception of Michelle's bad luck on one of their products, everything seems fine.
We've done some night riding with the Cateye headlights and have plenty of confidence in them.
Right now, I am using the HL-EL530 and EL520 on my Dahon Curve SL and Speed P8.
They've provided good coverage so far.
The Econom HL-EL540 comes in three versions. I am very keen on the battery-powered light (4-AAs) that yields 2-hours of run time on high setting. 
It could be set to 'blinking' mode as well, warning incoming vehicles on the road.
I think Gin Huat (the official distributor of Cateye) may have these at their Specialized Concept Store in Kota Damansara soon.

Review: Roxim RX5 bicycle light

Space-age: The Roxim RX5

When it comes to outfitting my folding bike, I am willing to try out some unconventional stuff.
So, I tried the Roxim RX5 bicycle light.
This is said to be the most advanced illumination tool using only 4AA batteries.
I've also outfitted my wife's Dahon Curve D3 with a smaller 2AA light called the Roxim RS3 to replace her damaged Cateye light. 
And since these are pretty scarce in the market, they aren't easily found.
I bought the RX5 and RS3 from Folding Bike Trading at their flagship store in Damansara Perdana.
Michelle was the first to test out her RS3 at a night ride in Putrajaya. She wasn't happy with the high-drain device, although the people who distribute them recommends using rechargeable cells.
On Wednesday, I had the chance to try out my RX5 on my Dahon Jetstream EX.
This light lasted about 20 minutes before going dim on economy mode.


Pros
Lightweight, futuristic streamlined-design. 
Takes 4AA batteries that can be bought anywhere. Reasonably bright with a nice wide beam.


Cons
Crappy mount. Expensive and has a poor run-time.

Availibility
The Roxim is sold by Folding Bike Trading at their showroom in Damansara Perdana. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I had an issue with their staff who claimed to have his Facebook account 'hacked'. Who the hell does he think he is? Tom Cruise?
