Could Be Better.

I really wanted to like this headlamp as I have another Biolite headlamp, light, as well as a Petzl, however, these are a hard pass. I purchased three of these and now only two of them are still working. I get a red, blinking light indicating a charge even after charging the headlamps to full charge. There are features that are nice: very lightweight, very easy to turn on and fit over toques, hats, helmets, etc. But not reliable.

3 Of 6 Units Stopped Working, Less Than 2 Years

These headlamps were perfect, until 3 of the 6 we ordered stopped working. They will not charge or turn on. They aren’t locked or anything, just stopped working one day. We have had them for two years, and they stopped working all within the last 8 months. They weren’t heavily used, once per month through the year and summer camping 2-3 times in summer for one -2 years, depending on which one as some broke before summer. We actually have only 2 working units of the 6 as one went through the wash (obviously that one is our fault) I am disappointed with the quality and that they died so soon. Now as a family of 5, we only sure two working units and it is a big purchase to replace. Unfortunately there is only a 1 year warranty, which I believe is quite short. I won’t be purchasing any future items as quality seems to be an issue. Hopefully our two battery banks and our alpine glow continue to work for us, but given the quality of these headlamps, I now have my doubts.

Works Well Once You Figure It Out

Works great. I use the nice bright spotlight for walking my dog at night, which includes crossing a 4-lane road (no stoplight) and going under trees. My only complaint is that the user instructions are hard to understand.

Not What I Had Hoped For

Poorly made. The charging cable is difficult to insert. Does not hold a charge and gets very warm which makes it hard to use on hot nights.

Superfantastic

Bought it for Hood to Coast. Worked great with all the other light sources (cars, street lights, other runners) there was no need for a big bright light. I like how light it is. Stayed put I mostly use it as an around camp light were again don't need a big bright light, and both the red and dimmable features are great to have!
