Cateye HL-EL160 Front Light
5345006
A tough, waterproof light built for commuting or leisure riding тАФ with a beam Cateye rates as visibly brighter than its EL135 predecessor.
Overview
The HL-EL160 runs on 2 AA alkaline batteries and uses Cateye's OptiCube lens technology for a long-runtime beam that Cateye markets as noticeably brighter than the older EL135, thanks to improved lens optics rather than raw lumen output alone. It's rated IPX7 тАФ genuinely waterproof, continuing to operate even after 30 minutes submerged a metre deep, well beyond typical splash resistance.
A low battery indicator and mode-memory function round out a straightforward, no-fuss commuter light, mounted via Cateye's tool-free FlexTight bracket.
