Subject: cateye taillight off switch
|
after years of pushing the button four times to get the light off,
(flash, steady, chase, random, off), I read about different light that
if you hold in the switch, it skips the rest and goes directly from
flash to off.
Well I tried it on my cateye and it worked.
this type... it says nothing in the instructions about this feature.

Not quite. My 3-LED Cateye rear blinkies have 5 modes, but no shutoff
feature that you mention. It would be handy though! It's very tough
to see the blinkie (mounted on the back of my helmet), so I need to
remember which mode the light is in. For group trail riding, tail
lights are an annoyance and need to be turned off (or at least set
steady)...but riding on the street is a different story.
