  1. I have one of those Cateye Micro-halogen lights that takes a
    2.4W 4.8V globe with two little pins on the end. It's an
    earlier version I think of the Cateye HL500II, but looks
    identical.

    The globe burned out, so where the heck can one get a
    replacement globe? I've tried bicycle shops, but so far, no
    luck. Are these bulbs exclusive to Cateye such that you have
    to throw out the light if the globe goes?

    I'm based in Adelaide.

    Any help greatly appreciated!

    Sounds unusual. Look in the yellow pages for a lamp
    specialist.

    If all else fails, the GH158 from Reflectalite -
    reflectalite.comreflectalite.com - might be what you're
    looking for.

    They're in the UK, but I've bought bulbs from them. They'll
    take a personal cheque from an Aussie bank account in
    Aussie dollars.

    You *may* need to get an LBS to order it in especially, but
    PJ White are worth a call. They're an Adelaide lighting
    specialist. I can't seen anything specific on their site,
    but that's not to say they don't know of such a toy.

    Otherwise try wiggle.co.ukwiggle.co.uk
    , or give Phantom a call (phantomcycles.com.auphantomcycles.com.au
    for details)

    Dave - who has a new 5W light. Mmmm, Luxeony goodness.

    There in Angus St. In a small (2-3) group of shops. Tucked
    around the corner. Very helpful young woman in there🙂

    I had great luck with phantom and an old cateye halogen
    globe. They did however tell me they couldnt believe they
    had them though. They found them in some old box. :-).
