CATEYE VOLT800 (HL-EL471RC) | 800 Lumen High-Performance Light for Long Rides

800 lumens to brightly illuminate the road at night. A reliable model with a replaceable battery for long rides.

The CATEYE VOLT800 (HL-EL471RC) is a USB-rechargeable front light with a high output of approximately 800 lumens and a replaceable cartridge battery.

It illuminates the path ahead even on dimly lit night roads and long rides, ensuring high visibility and peace of mind. Despite its compact size, this high-power model is suitable for serious night riding.

Its main feature is the cartridge battery, which can be replaced without tools. Carrying a spare battery allows for easy and safe replacement during long rides, brevets, or touring, alleviating concerns unique to rechargeable lights.

CATEYE's unique OptiCube technology is used for the light distribution. The wide, circular beam pattern achieves both excellent forward visibility and high visibility from surroundings.

There are five modes: High, Middle, Low, Daytime HyperConstant, and Flashing. The Daytime HyperConstant mode, which enhances visibility during the day, is also included, making it useful in a wide range of situations, day or night.

Furthermore, you can instantly switch to High mode from any other mode with a double-click. This allows for immediate access to maximum brightness when suddenly entering a dark road.

With excellent heat dissipation from its aluminum LED unit, mode memory function, battery indicator, and other practical features, this is a standard CATEYE high-power front light.

800 lumens is quite bright, providing a sense of security even on dimly lit cycling paths and suburban rides.

A particular appeal of the VOLT series is its replaceable battery. Carrying a spare battery makes it easy to use continuously for long rides and brevets, making it a very reassuring presence for night riding.

The light distribution is also natural and easy to see, and it's not just intensely bright; it makes it easy to grasp road conditions. I believe it's a highly complete light that can handle everything from commuting to serious night rides.
