Zyro the importer sent me a new one very quickly, it lasted about 2 weeks worth of commutes and failed in the same place, i.e. the bit on the lamp that the bracket slides into, the lady actually rang me having received my email and was very helpful, she acknowledged there was a problem and that they would be speaking to CatEye about it as its not acceptable. I would suggest that anyone that does a bumpy commute on a rigid bike or any off roading avoids this light like the plague.
I spoke to Cyclestore.co.uk from where I bought it, again, very helpful and offered me a refund or credit towards another light.
The guy suggested the lower model, the plain single shot which is lighter and does not suffer the bracket problems but I said I need more light, not less due to the very dark and unlit lanes I use so he suggested a Hope Vision 2 at £175, £100 dearer than the CatEye but a lot better built and more output.
I have a couple of the Tesco torches which are fine but I wanted a flashing capability and decent run time.
Any thoughts,
