Cat EyeHL-EL135 Opticube Light(Return to Product Page)

Have had a Cat Eye tail light for several years (4 selectable light patterns in each of 4 rows) and love it. Very visible to vehicle drivers in broad daylight. This HL-EL135 is just as great for front visibility and just as bright in broad daylight. I use the flashing option as friends have told me it gets attention better. Not enough total candlepower for riding fast on a dark road at night.....it's intended to make you visible to others. It does that very well at a great price.

This battery operated light is quite efficient,especially for the money. Two of us are using them!

When I see the reflections from a stop sin a block away I know that I can be seen, which is very important to me. Of course I only use the flashing mode, it is adequate for riding in the inky black of rural areas as well as for being seen in the suburbs. It also reflects off the handlebars of bikes coming my way. I can see them half a block away.

Unfotunately one pair of cheap batteries leaked and now I need to replace it because the insides are not sealed at all. Next time I will be more careful. But that non-sealed system did always let rain dry out., so it is OK for that. But I always park my bike in the garage, never outside in the rain.

I do wish that I could purchase just the light, the mount is still perfect, only the light died.

Never thought Id really need

one of these but frankly, I wouldnt

ride without one now !

Occasionally you will need to be on the wrong side of a street or intersection and this LED Cat Eye sends notice to all incoming vehicles, bikes,

walkers, etc..

I highly recomend this light. Great for the price and uses common size battery. Ride mostly during the day. Easy to mount and swap from bikes.

Got these lights for a week long cycling tour where rechargeable lights would be impractical. The batteries lasted the whole week, despite 5-6 hours ride time per day. They are not as practical as rechargeable as batteries can be expensive. Unit takes AA batteries.

Sufficient for recreational rides around the well traveled bike paths. Would not recommend if biking off road

or riding on rough surface's...

Over-all...Good price, compact & easy to remove.

The lights work perfectly for my bike and bright enough for the nights

Bright light is very easy to use and very easy to install

Was easy to install works really well

If you need a head light for almost nothing this is the one to get. I got my 1st one on a raffle and liked it. I read a review while looking for another and decided to get two more when they were on sale. Just make sure you get on a schedule to change the batteries so you don't run out or light too low hen on the road.

What you have to understand is your not going to get a huge beam of light on the ground with this light. This light is not a 600 lumen light. However you will get an extremely bright light that gets attention. The flash mode is very very bright. Mounting is rock solid and very easy to adjust light direction. Battery life is not as good as I would like. However, still lasts about twenty hours on flash mode. I purchased the white model. The white looks great in contrast with the dark blue frame on my bike.

This is a very bright light that has good battery life. It is quite a lot brighter than last years model. The strap is very secure and works well even on bumpy roads. It looks nice and has a high quality feel to it. Very good value.

The mount is easy to install and move around (careful how close you clip the ratchet tab) and the light is bigger than some, but is sturdy and extremely bright. The flash function makes sure you're seen from a long way off. I like the ability to change batteries rather than charge, as well.

This is the second light of this model I have purchased. I like the size and shape of this light as it mounts easily on my bike and I can also carry it when I go running, as it is lightweight and fits in my palm of my hand. The only downfall is that it sometimes falls out of the mount when I cross train tracks or cracks in the road. However, I've run it over at least twice and it's still going strong.

It is my primary bicycle headlamp for night riding and commuting.

The light works great on late night rides on the road. No problems so far

This bike light was bought to be used for Norseman Extreme Triathlon as s front and back light was required for the course. The light is excellent, small, light weight ad very easy to mount and dismount from the bike. It also gave ample light for he tunnel crossings that I had to do. Highly recommended product!
