Cycle computer interference

[geocycle]

My IQ.fly dynamo light has failed after many years of good service. I replaced it with an edelux II which is a wonderful little light.  But it interferes with my cateye strada wireless. Anyone tried one of the new digital cateyes which use a 2.4ghz signal and are supposed to be interference free?

I use a Cateye cc-mc100w & have the Edelux-1 light & haven't had problems. No idea though about the wireless frequency etc.!

A bit more reading suggests it is a digital (new models) v analogue. I'm no expert. The digi models are more expensive of course.

Hi All,

My Cateye Stealth 50 (GPS) works with all my LED lights 101% good

I'm no radio engineer, so the electronics guys may know better, but in my particular interest in electronics, high tension audio amps and electrostatic and horn speakers http://www.audio-talk.co.uk/fiultra/JUTE%20ON%20AMPS.htm, digital gear is as susceptible to interference as analogue, and often a good deal more difficult to shield against it. Something to consider and ask about before you lash out cash.

Something else that you may not have considered: a few milllimetres this way or that between the wire for the lamp and the wireless computer gubbins may solve your problem.

Thanks Andre, I may have cracked it. I shifted the sensor to the opposite fork to the cable and the unit to as far to the end if the handlebars as possible. It seems to have sprung back into life!

Congratulations. I like hearing about zero-cost solutions.
