- Owners complain that removing the light is annoying because of the three-piece mount.
- In the max output Hyperflash mode, the 150-lumen flash is extremely quick, so the full effect of the brightness isn’t felt, frustrating one expert.

Bottom line
The CatEye ViZ150 is a rear bike light with four modes, one steady and three flashing. Experts and owners praise the battery life, versatile mounting positions, and good side-on visibility. However, the flashing modes don’t make the most of the 150-lumen output. Three owners report water damage due to the low water resistance (IPX4). Others complain that removing the light is inconvenient and the more powerful flashing modes may be too fast and aggressive. Nonetheless, most experts and owners deem the affordable ViZ150 good value given its battery life and visibility.Expert Reviews
