CatEye Volt 400 XC Front Lights and Reflectors, Cycling - Black, NO SIZE

Lit up the path and road on my work commutes amazingly well. Far reaching and very bright. People say it's awkward to take on and off but i find it easy to attach and detatch. Compared to my old Cateye Omni 3 this is not even in the same category. I can see a long way up the road now, i can see road signs, pedestrians etc long before i could with the Omni. It lights up the trees about 200 years down the road. I almost hit numerous people using the Omni because it just wasn't any good in pitch black darkness. This makes me feel safe and allows motorists to see me much better. This 400XC is really all you need for a work commute or rides in real dark conditions.

I'm very pleased with this light, so much so that I have purchased a second one on Amazon Warehouse Deals. I have 'out front' cycle computer brackets fitted(the sort that fit on the original handlebar clamp) and have used the strong bands to mount it underneath them. If you would like to remove the original mounting bracket from the Volt 400 XC for a similar purpose simply peel back the rubber mounting pad underneath which will expose a torx screw used for attaching the bracket to the main body. It is easy to charge and the charge lasts a long time. There are several good flashing and constant brightness settings which give a good choice in daylight and darkness, with the brightest setting being adequate enough for the average user(unless you are travelling at night at abnormally high speed on roads with pot holes).

Exceptionally bright light, best used on flash mode to prolong battery life. not the cheapest light around, but better to spend more on a good bright light if you want to stay safe. Have previously tried a number of others that were not very bright. This is the best one so far

I upgraded to this light as my other light was not bright enough to light up the road on my early morning commute. Even on its lowest setting it is enough to light the road ahead of me and on its highest it is super bright! The battery life is good and it warns you when it is getting low, the button turns red. The only reason it looses a star is the mount whilst it is easy to get on and off and secure when attached I do believe that at some point I will have to replace it as it is only rubber and won't last forever, hopefully the mounts are easy to get hold of I haven't looked into this yet.

Great light, but if riding in very dark conditions you may need to limit your speed..However, if you are sensible with your speed, this lamp is addiquate. I use it as a back up to a power powerful lamp so I am not suddenly in the dark if a lamp fails

I’m really torn on how to rate these lights... fantastic brightness and beam. Impressive battery life, simple controls, nice and compact and i got two of them half price. So in my case, great value. I ride at 6:00am in Scottish country side. So it’s pitch black. I use the lights to see AND be seen. And functionally they are wonderful.But the strap... it’s absolutely terrible. I have never before saw a light which has to be completely removed from the bike for charging including the entire strap/bracket.Not only that but the lights can move upon hitting potholes. The straps aren't 100% secure. Doesn't happen often. But has done.It’s like Cateye are selling a premium light with a bargain bin strap, like a Rolex stuck to a Casio wristband.Would i buy them again? For half price you bet. Full price? Nope.

Very bright with some useful features ( flashing with a constant light ). Looks well made and I’d expect to get a decent life out of it.

great light. used it on completely darkened roads and it provides enough light to get home safe. small and easy to fit, battery life great and easy to charge. no issues with it at all.
