Source: cateye.com (read 2026-07-13) · corroborated by forzasports.com (read 2026-09-21). The CatEye international product page (HL-EL1100RC) confirms this exact model — AMPP1100, twin-LED with OptiCube lens, 1100 lm max — and lists the full tech specs verbatim: run times (High 1100 lm 1.5hrs, Middle 800 lm 2hrs, Low 400 lm 4.5hrs), Li-ion 7.4V-2500mAh battery, USB rechargeable via included Micro-USB cable with full charge in approx 3 hours (minimum), IPX4 water resistance, 200 grams (light unit and battery), and five light modes. Forza Sports corroborates the identical model (SKU CE5340870, matching CATEYE America part 5340870, HL-EL1100RC) with the same mode/runtime figures and supplies the US retail price of $79.95. Model identity is unambiguous via the shared HL-EL1100RC / 5340870 part numbers, so this is the 1100-lumen unit and not a sibling variant (AMPP800/1700/2200).
