Customer reviews
Great flasher/ bike path headlight! 
by .. Eric (Madison, WI United States)
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 pebble 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.
Not Much of a Headlamp, BUT... by .. ProfHarryHill (District of Columbia)
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.
Works for me by .. J. Daher (brooklyn, ny United States)
The only reservation most people have with this light is that the belt that holds it to the handlebars is weak. The belt is made of plastic and I can see that perhaps with time it will break. However, for now it is working very well for me. I put it on only when I need it and take it off afterwards. I use it on 10 mile rides exclusively on city roads, two or three times a week.
EL 450 by .. Kenneth D. Colbert (Arkansas)
First off if you want a head light like a car has then go buy your self a car.As for a bicycle head light this works great.I have it on my Surly LHT.
Ido a lot of riding and don't care for night riding at all but when you start out early in the morning.You want to be seen and this light does the job well I think.Also get your self a good tail light by cateye.And always wear a good Helmet.Take care of your bicycle and it will take care of you.

I have two of these and they are an excellent light source for early morning rides
