CATEYE AMPP500 (HL-EL085RC) | A reliable USB rechargeable light for city riding and night riding alike

Illuminate widely and see clearly. A 500-lumen light that offers peace of mind for both city riding and nighttime paths.

The CATEYE AMPP500 (HL-EL085RC) is a USB rechargeable front light featuring a maximum brightness of 500 lumens and wide beam distribution.

This easy-to-use, classic model reliably illuminates the path ahead even on dimly lit roads or cycling paths, while also enhancing your visibility to others. It is highly versatile, suitable for everything from commuting to school or work to nighttime cycling.

The beam pattern incorporates CATEYE's unique OptiCube™ technology. It not only provides a strong spot beam but also illuminates the area ahead broadly and uniformly, making it easier to see road conditions and providing a sense of security during nighttime riding.

It features four modes: High, Low, Daytime HyperConstant, and Flashing. With the Daytime HyperConstant mode designed to increase visibility during the day, it is easy to use day or night.

Furthermore, a double-click operation allows instant switching to High mode from any other mode. This means you can intuitively access maximum brightness even when suddenly entering a dark area.

The integrated USB rechargeable battery design makes it easy to manage, and it also features a battery indicator. This is a highly practical front light, characteristic of CATEYE, that can be used with confidence every day.

500 lumens provide a significant sense of security for city riding, allowing you to clearly see the road surface even on riverbanks or dimly lit paths.

The wide beam distribution is particularly easy to see, giving a more natural field of vision compared to lights that only provide a strong spot. This model is also well-suited for daily commutes to work or school.

The ability to switch to High mode instantly with a double-click is also convenient, allowing you to intuitively increase brightness the moment you enter a dark path. Being USB rechargeable makes it easy to handle, and it's a recommended classic light for anyone who wants to "get one solid light first."
