I am afraid this light is far from the brightest light on the market. If it works for you, that is
the important thing, but you might compare it to a 12 or 24 watt halogen system. Those are a whole
different level. And then the HID systems are even brighter yet.

If you look at the link you posted the EL300 is listed as 400 candlepower and the light you linked
to is only 100- so it isn't even the brightest LED light by cateye

I have an EL300, it IS bright for an LED light, but only produces a small, focussed patch on the
road. Certainly much less illumination than my 12W Smart rechargeable light (though much lighter and
more convenient to move from bike to bike).

Certainly if you look straight at it the EL300 appears very bright, but you need to be at just the
right angle.
