With both LEDs powered to the max on constant I achieved a run-time of just under an hour, though flashing modes will take this to a maximum of 30 hours. This gives you the option of running one side on constant and the other flashing, and with six modes available on each side that gives you a whole world of lighting possibilities.
The Cateye Rapid X3 is a super-bright rear light that puts out a hefty and highly visible 150 lumens through its two separate COB strip LEDs, which you can control separately via a switch each side. A helmet mount and centre fork mount bracket are also available – the latter is handy if you want to free up space on your bar and your bike has a fitting on the fork crown for a mudguard. The light itself just clips into the mount, easily and securely.

It is possible to lose the nut (I know, I’ve done it), but a full range of spares is available for what is one of the best fitting systems out there. The FlexTight bracket is a strap that’s secured to the bar using a chunky plastic nut and it results in a totally secure and movement-free fit. Its top-mounted on/off switch doubles as a traffic light-type battery indicator – when it reaches red it means there’s less than 30 per cent battery life remaining, handy given the slightly limited run time. In addition to this, there are two flashing modes: Daytime HyperConstant 800/200 lumens and 200-lumen flashing mode, with a claimed 30 hours running time.
I got very slightly more than the claimed 90 minutes at the full 800 lumens, but you’ll get longer on the two other steady settings: 400 and 200 lumens.
