Bright light, maybe a little too bright for close contact with others! But battery at the back is a little uncomfortable if using the light for reading while lying down.

Battery doesn't last

When I first bought this headlamp, I was happy with it, albeit a bit surprised by how short the battery life was. I've used it for just over a year now and now the battery won't stay charged for more than 20 minutes - even though the indicator says the battery is fully charged, it will just die unexpectedly. I'm very disappointed by this as the headlamp is not cheap and I thought I was buying a sustainable product.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Battery doesn't last

I like the low profile light and the battery pack isn't too heavy and annoying. Unfortunately after a year of regular use t the battery life of the headlamp tanked hugely. It lasts about an hour or two now before dying but when I plug it in gives 2 lights to show it's partially charged. Looks like there are other similar reviews below too, wish I had read them before I bought it. The elastic didn't take long to get stretched out, because of the battery pack tightening options are restricted. This will steer me away from future BioLite products which is a shame because they seem to have a good company model. I have already reached out to their support who offered me a 20% discount on a new headlamp which isn't enough to have me consider buying another of their products.

Worked great then it didn't

I've had this light about 18 months and I love it. Use it at work and recharge it for the next day. Has been flawless until now. Switch was intermittent for a few days. Couldn't turn it off a few times. Now it will not turn on.
I would recommend this to a friend!

This is very light weight light and it starts on the red light so I don't blind myself or others trying to get to the red light. Great choice!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Good concept, poor execution

I have tried to use this head lamp for 4 weeks of camping out. The lamp is lightweight, band is comfortable. Does not work comfortably to use it while trying to read while lying in your tent. Big battery on the back acts as a pillow. OUCH! My biggest complaint is how the on/off and lighting change works. Or I should say doesn't work. I have to cycle through the button many times to get it to the light I want. Sometimes I give up because I can't get beyond the red light.

Short battery life

I received the headlamp as a gift for Father’s Day and disappointed to find out that the battery on a full charge is only lasting 45 minutes to an hour on the lowest setting. I also on the fire pit which is an excellent product and I’m very happy with that but the headlamp not so much.
