Stylish pencil type Cat Eye front lamp which is great for your retro mount. I had one of these in the1990’s and it was a great light which can also be readily used for around the house. Lightweight for its day, the weight weenies would probably turn their nose up at it these days but, in my opinion, it is a reliable and well built unit. Its takes the ‘C’ size batteries(LR14, R14, MN1400, UM2, HP), and the NiMH type are available with a capacity of 9500mAh. The most powerful in the early 1990’s was around 1600mAh, so these should give plenty of additional night time riding between recharges. I reckon you would get a full 9-12 hours duration but I have to admit to my lack of basic electrical engineering knowledge.
