Does the Cateye TL-AU100BS light come with hardware to attach it to a seatpost?

If not, any separate seatpost brackets available? Or any tips for improvising one? This is for a
rigid MTB usually used without a rack. What about on a seat stay instead?

I don't know about this specific light, but I do know that Condor has a whole range of separate
Cateye brackets for fitting various of their lights to different sizes of things. I should think it
quite likely. The availability of separate brackets for Cateye products makes them an attractive
purchase to me - for the next time I buy a rear light. In the meantime they can also be useful for
attaching things other than Cateye lights as well if you can get something that fits your
application!

I have two, and both of them did. Both live on seatposts, and are IMHO very nice wee bits of kit.
Recommended.

IIRC it doesn't come with fittings for this, but you could presumably bodge something if you want
to. but seat post will be fine.

How large is the light?

It's pretty compact, I've just brought mine in to measure it - about 40mm wide x 75 mm tall, depth
varies as the lens is roughly triangular shaped.

Any recommendations for any similar rear LEDs under £20 that take 2 x AA cells?

As secondary rear light for backup, I use good old 5 LED Vista one, still one of the
brightest one around I reckon, though probably not such a sideways spread of light as the
AU100 They are relatively cheap - about GBP10. They come with a seat post fitting, you could
fit one under the AU100

It does - but mine is attached to the back of my rear rack with a bit of slightly fettled steel
angle bracket (most of the small ones have the holes in just the right place). Heat up the bracket
on a gas ring then drop it in oil for a nice black finish that keeps the rust off for a couple of
years (when you can simply do it again).

The light is pretty big with 7 individual LEDs (IIRC) pointing at various angles. Not all that
heavy though.

Sounds just right. Thanks very much Chris, Pete and Richard.
