CatEye is represented by a standalone ViZ150 rear light and an AMPP 400S / ViZ100 front-and-rear set. These serve different buying situations. One upgrades or replaces the rear light on an otherwise complete bicycle; the other provides both ends in a single purchase for a rider assembling a basic commuting lighting setup.
The figures in the names do not tell the whole story. A light’s maximum output can belong to a particular flashing setting rather than the constant mode used on the journey. Bundle names and charging generations also matter. Choose the exact light combination first, then examine how its modes, mounts and charging arrangements fit your routine.
For a rear replacement, compare useful settings and runtime with Lezyne’s standalone options rather than choosing only the largest output figure. Check the seatpost bracket and luggage together so a saddle bag does not hide the light. Group riding and solo commuting can favour different settings, which is why the mode chart deserves attention.
For a complete set, confirm that the package actually contains AMPP 400S and ViZ100. Check continuous-mode endurance for the return journey, connectors and cable contents. A 400-lumen front-light headline alone does not confirm that the beam is appropriate for your unlit route, so match the product’s intended role to where and how you ride.
A compact rechargeable rear light with separate constant, flashing, group and daytime modes.
Start with the fit: Match the charging connector to the actual listing and supplied light. Check the SP-15 bracket fits your seatpost dimensions. Confirm the light remains unobstructed with your saddle bag in place.
Compare with other rechargeable rear bike lightsA paired front and rear lighting option for commuters who want an AMPP headlight and a compact ViZ rear light in one purchase.
Start with the fit: Confirm the package specifically contains AMPP 400S and ViZ100. Check each light's connector, cable contents and mounting bracket. Compare continuous-mode runtime with your full return journey.
Compare with other commuter bike light setsFit the light securely with its beam directed rearwards, then check visibility with your normal luggage loaded.
Compare the runtime for the mode you will use, rather than pairing maximum output with the longest advertised runtime.
Separate predominantly lit urban journeys from regular unlit riding; the latter requires particular attention to front-beam reach and spread.
The lights in one set may have different connectors and run out at different times. Confirm both before buying.
A shared brand name does not make accessories interchangeable. Use the model-specific dimensions, materials, fittings and instructions to choose between products. Compare the delivered price for the complete setup, including any mounts, consumables or extra bags you need.
