      Pros

      • Great visibility
      • Helmet/Removable mount
      • Long battery life

      Cons

      • Light moves too easy

      Best Uses

      • Front headlight
      • Night commute

      Comments about Cat Eye HL-EL520 Front Bike Light:

      I found this light to be bright enough to see where your going and is easily visible to others. It works well on pavement or relatively smooth surfaces, but it moves easily when the going gets rough.

      Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
