The Cat Eye Volt 700 front light has five modes: high, medium, low, hyper-constant and flash. The hyper-constant and flashing are more than enough to give you and your fellow road users a headache.

While the all-night mode emitted only 100 lumens and would not provide great visibility in an unlit area, it is going to make you visible to others and prolong the life of your battery on a long ride home.
