Opinions on old lights?

I've been looking at getting another light to go with my Cateye EL-135 as its good enough to be seen, but not really good enough to light the way on dark paths. I don't do a great deal of offroad riding at the moment, but quite like riding down the coast road which has a few unlit patches.
Anyway, I stubled across a few lights for sale, and thought I'd snap them up for £13. I'm more interested in the Cateye one, and plan to use it in conjunction with my existing light.
I know they're rather old, but does anyone have any opinions one way or another on them?

I wouldn't bother with those.
LED emitter (high power white LEDs) technology is improving all the time - for £ 15 you can get a single lamp that will outshone all of those and some.
For £ 20 I would recommend this (I have 2 of these - I did make my own LED lamps 2 years ago but these win hands down for price/performance)
search ebay for "CREE XM-L XML T6 LED 1800Lm Headlamp Rechargeable Headlight" - loads of torches and lamps for similar amount.0 -
