Best Headlamp yet!
on January 25, 2019
Posted by: Anonymous
I have been impressed with the Biolite products since they started with the small stove. When they announced their headlamp project, I signed on as a backer. I frequently use headlamps, and have tried many types over the years. The replaceable battery powered types are sometimes bulky, and don't fit always fit well. I found the best of those were well designed ones like Petzl. The promise of a lightweight rechargeable headlamp with adjustable lighting was too good to resist. When I got one of the early units a few months ago as a backer, I was totally impressed with the headlamp. For such a compact headlamp, the fit is excellent, the adjustable lighting easy to use, and most impressive of all, I can't believe the battery life from this headlamp. They have a terrific product.

best head lamp ever
on January 25, 2019

for far to long I have run the name brand headlamps. they are great don't get me wrong. but this thing is awesome. it has better battery life, better light quality, lighter in weight and a rechargeable battery. the only thing better would be self solar charged or some kind of biothermal charger. I got this on kstart. I just ordered another one for work I like it so much.

Have tried the headlamp at home and I am very excited to try it camping. Late night walks to the bathroom will be much brighter.

Light, tight and bright

Just did my first run with my new BioLite headlamp. Yowza! Love how it fit and how it feels. It is comfortable and snug and there is zero bounce. It is light weight and well balanced...I hardly noticed it, except for the great light it threw. Even with thin gloves, I was able to adjust the angle of the shine with no problem. I love this lamp and can't wait to take it camping. So glad I opted for this headlamp, with so many out there to choose from. Excellent value. Excellent customer support, too. Happy happy happy!!

The upsides and the downsides from an engineers perspective.
on January 27, 2019
Posted by: Anonymous
First I will start with the positive. The fit and feel of this headlamp allows you to wear it quite literally all day long with no fatigue, and from my experience with headlamps, that is no small feat. It feels great, and stays put, without budging. It is extraordinarily light for a headlamp this bright, and with so many features. The ability to charge via USB instead of replacing or recharging AA or AAA batteries is an obvious must, and although this is a must, it is also the beginning of the downsides. The battery is not accessible to replace in the future (after at least 500 charge cycles or so) without destroying the battery pack. It is ultrasonically welded together. The benefits to doing this, making the unit waterproof and cheaper to manufacture, but I see it as a part of the throw away economy we need to move away from. I don't know if the USB port is water resistant without the little silicone flap covering it up, but it is likely not, and if the cover gets ripped off in the future by accident, the water resistance will be compromised. A non-issue for the majority, but something to note. For the joggers and bikers, an optional rear facing blinking red light would be a huge plus if it existed. I wish the on/off/feature button was more obvious to find, as it is hard to feel, even without gloves on. The CRI is good in spot mode, but flood could use a better diffuser to fix uneven coloring lines. The red light is fairly bright, but not dimmable. Hard to beat for $50.

Taking Headlamps to the Next Generation
on February 1, 2019

I bough the BioLite Headlamp to replace an old unit I had been running with for years. The entire experience with the BioLite unit has been head and shoulders above my old unit. The brightness is amazing! Love the weight balance of having the battery on the back of my head and the fit feels oh-so-good.
An unexpected consequence of that added brightness is that cars pull over/slow down more frequently and at a greater distance that previously.
The only thing I wish is that they had a model with a red light on the rear but I'm just being picky at that point.
Great work BioLite team!

The hits keep coming!

I have been using a variety of Bio-Lite products for years. I've been using the camp stove since inception. Which, not so coincidentally, can charge your new headlamp. I am an avid camping/hiker/kayak-er. I also work as a nurse in remote places where I need a directional light that doesn't require my hands to adjust. Just got this headlamp and already have noticed the differences. I have several headlamp ranging from $30 up to nearly $100. With the $50 price point you would think it would sit right in the middle of the pack. It does not. I am bald so I don't have the benefit of hair to cushion anything I put on. I trialed this by wearing it around the house for 6 or so hours. While, of course, I knew i was wearing something it was VERY comfortable compared to other headlamps regardless of price point. Lightweight and soft. The light is quite bright but can be dimmed if needed. I will be interested to see how long the rechargeable battery lasts and if/when it ever quits I will update the review. The stuff-sack is a neat idea although I don't know how useful compared to the other lighting options Bio-lite has such as the nano grid line. That said if your worried about weight/space issues it could be a great option. Over-all this is right up there with all the Bio-Lite products I have and continue to use. Can't say enough about this company and tell anyone who camps to check these guys out first when it comes to lighting/power/cooking needs!

Great Headlamp
on February 13, 2019

This is an incredible headlamp. Light is more than needed. The most attractive feature is the weight and design with no bounce when tilted down. I actually forgot I had it on.
