5.0 out of 5 stars Great flasher/ bike path headlight!, April 16, 2009

First let's establish what it is not:
This light is not a full on "headlight" in the sense of being able to project brilliant light hundreds of feet ahead, those cost and weigh signifigantly more.

I have used this lamp for 6 months or so now and used it's predecessor, the EL310 for a few seasons. I have also tried similar products from Planet Bike and a few other companies. This light is the brightest and easiest to use of the bunch. It has a quick disconnect feature that allows me to take it with me when locking the bike, and the switch has a lock so that the light doesn't accidentally get turned on while in my bag.

The EL450 is a great choice for city/ bike path riders seeking increased visibility while riding. I use my light primarily in flasher mode, and cars certainly take notice! On moonless nights and bike paths the light provides me with enough lumens to navigate, but I don't count on being able to see every pebb le in my field of view, either.

Cateye sells an optional "H-34 flextight bracket" which offers a semi-permanent mounting solution far superior to the included bracket. You can check it out through any search engine.

5.0 out of 5 stars Not Much of a Headlamp, BUT..., June 3, 2009
By

The Cateye HL-EL450 OptiCube LED Bicycle Light is not much of a headlamp if you're looking for a bright light to see by in xtreme darkness. But, it is an excellent added safety feature for any bike that is ridden primarily in a well lit urban environment. It blinks very brightly and will catch the attention of all but the most brain dead drivers.

I've read much about the quick release strap attachment being inadequate to the task of holding the lamp on securely. I've had no problem with this. I, of course, do not have a mountain bike and am on relatively smooth surfaces most of the time.

4.0 out of 5 stars Overall, this is a great light., December 5, 2009

This light woks really well. The color looks slick on my bike, even when it is dark out and I am the only one that can see it. The locking feature on the switch is great so you don't look down and notice that your pants or coat pocket is blinking. The light is bright enough for my needs and the price. The only thing that could be improved is the strap that connects the light to your bike. Sometimes it doesn't seem to stay put no matter how much I fiddle with it. It is better than others I have had though.
