It's not EL-400, it's the
EL-410. (-I know the image is named EL400, and I don't know why either-)
,,,,I have one of them too, but it didn't fit on my helmet (why I originally bought it). I use it as a backup handlebar light instead. It has regular-on and blink mode. It's not real bright, and the beam is not colored great (-blueish-violet in the center, and yellow around the edge-) but it's US-legal, and it's way better than nothing.
In my experience--a light that has
one LED with a
properly designed reflector for it is much better than a design with multiple LEDs and focusing lenses. The Cateye EL-500 is one of the first type, and the EL-410 is one of the second type.
