Hi,
Im thinking of getting a proper headlamp for riding and was looking at either one of these two
The cateye tora headlamp or the cateye neko headlamp. The tora is £10 extra but has 3 smaller led's extra aswell as the 1w led the neko also has.
Is it worth getting the £10 extra version?
Are they any good?
Thanks,
I've got a Neko which is going to be upgraded to a Tesco torch.
The Neko's not bad, will throw about 7-10 yards, decent beam widthand has been reliable, the Tesco torch is significantly brighter and has a better throw though.
Not used a Tora.
so would you recommend it for £30?
anyone?

Have a search on here. You can get led toches from e bay / deal extreme.£50 gets you a specific bike light, £30 a p7 torch which is bright enough to ride with easily. £10 for a 3w cree torch which is the minimum IMO
Depends how bright your maglite led is - a couple of 5mm leds will not be enough - a 3 w cree will be
The Neko is OK but on balance I'd spend 8.99 on a 2 AA LED torch from Tesco and zip tie it to my lid, £20 cheaper and brighter.
Having said that, the Neko is an excellent headtorch.
