Cateye HL-EL530 LED Bicycle Headlight Reviews
| 34 of 35 people found the following review helpful  Bright but no Xenon, By J. Staten "Avid marathoner and hi tech market... (SAN CARLOS, CA, United States) - See all my reviews  Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Cateye HL-EL530 LED Bicycle Headlight (Sports) I bike to and from work most days and bought this light for those dark nights when I work late. While it is brighter than a lot of other choices out there it definitely doesn't turn a dark road into a well-lit one.The biggest flaw with this light is that it puts out a very, very bright center spot and a fairly weak corona around this small spot. When biking along the corona simply doesn't give you enough visibility to see an object in the road with a lot of time to avoid it. Thankfully I bike somewhere that has enough ambient light from street lights that I don't have a lot of dark spots to worry about, but if that isn't you, spend more money to get a more powerful light. 39 of 42 people found the following review helpful Don't expect too much, By This review is from: Cateye HL-EL530 LED Bicycle Headlight (Sports) I don't know much about wattage and candle power, but I do know whether a light is bright enough to use as a single source for night rides, and this light is not good enough for that. It does not have enough power. In my case, the light just seems to evaporate into the ambient light cast by street lights. You'll be able to have enough light in one small area only but the light is not diffuse enough or strong enough to light up a larger area that you'll want to be able to see for safe night riding. I've been commuting at night for years now, and have found that a minimum wattage for a good bike light is about 10 watts. I supppose this light puts out only 1 watt.I used this light for several years as a backup light. I put it on the handlebars and had it there in case my main system went out. It served that function well. But if you buy it thinking it can be a good and inexpensive solution, as a single light for riding at night, you'll be disappointed. 7 of 7 people found the following review helpful  Cateye quality is not what it used to be...., By Pascual (Berkeley, CA) - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Cateye HL-EL530 LED Bicycle Headlight (Sports) My old cateye Halogen headlight (HL-500) was legendary in its toughness, 10 years with routine drops and spills. I can't say the same for the new OptiCube LED models. I've had both the HL-EL500 and the newer HL-EL530 LED lights stop working after falling only once from handlebar heights(just about 3.5 ft). Nothing visibly broken or cracked, no loose parts, just a $45-$55 paper weight. The problem is limited to the reflector/bulb housing unit, for which Cateye does not sell replacements, so once it breaks you have to replace the whole thing. No complaints about the brightness when it worked, but a bike-light needs to be tough and should withstand small drops at least as well as your average cell-phone. MagLite can make nearly indestructable and waterproof flashlights that sell for under $35, why can't CatEye? It's about time we stopped getting ripped off by bike light manufacturers. |
