Have used this headlight on numerous occasions on various terrain, and find it has a great balance of a bright zone in the center of the beam with a nice transition to the edge of the beam, no sharp cutoff. Constant mode has lasted many hours, still very bright. Flashing mode great for riding in traffic-- very noticeable. Installation is a snap, no tools required for the mounting bracket. Then just snap the light in. Also works as a great flashlight for around the campsite. Very pleased. Great build quality, barely sips batteries, good beam spread.

The Cateye HL-EL220 is a great light. It's got five LEDs and it really is one of the brightest bike lights I've seen in this price range. It provides great visibility at night and it's really easy to snap on and off when I park my bike somewhere. Install was a breeze with no tools required, and it's really to adjust up or down based on the conditions I'm riding in. I highly recommend it.

Have used this light for a while now and it lights up a good field of vision when night bike riding. Love the flashing mode which is really noticeable even during the day. Very easy to install. I highly recommend this bike light.
