My Cateye tail light refused to work so I bought the NiteRider Sentinel 250. I Think the Cateye was a victim of rain or my bike washing. The Sentinel 250 arrived yesterday and today’s bike ride was supposed to be the one to try it out. But it rained on my ride and I turned around not far from home.

The video narrative explains my first impressions.

The package has a graphic showing the light doesn’t go underwater but I hope it is okay with tire spray when I get caught in the rain. It cost more than the Cateye but is more powerful and USB micro rechargeable.

After all of this in my rush to get riding today I forgot to turn it on. That’s okay because the ride only lasted 1.89 miles when it started raining and I turned around and went back home.
