200 HeadLamp

Gift option

This was a gift. Receiver says it worked well. Husband was very pleased with his,this thought it would be a great gift.

Can’t live without my headlamp!

This headlamp is a game-changer for me! I’m able to run in the dark. It lights up the trails/roads perfectly (but doesn’t blind oncoming runners). It doesn’t budge at all during outdoor runs and is very comfortable. To be honest, I kind of forget I have it on my head when I’m running.

Only one small complaint

Super headlamp. Best I have ever owned. My only complaint is that teh feature that the light turns to its mode and brightness when restarting only lasts 12 hours. I could not figure that out fro instructions. I could never figure out what was going on until I saw video. I use it every night in bed to read before falling asleep. So I would love it if that feature lasted 30 hours I suppose they want the default to be red so it will be at its least intrusive. But going through the machinations with some degrees of errors is much more intrusive to my partner who is already asleep..

One of my best headlamps

Headlamp fit comfortably and not heavy at all. Beam is clear and could appreciate details.

Great purchase

Love how lite it is! Good brightness for it's size.

Awesome headlamp

Lightweight headlamp holds a charge well and is easily bright enough to see a trail or work outside in the dark. It really is so light that you forget you have it on.

Great Basic Headlamp

Lightweight and a comfortable fit, the quality and functionality I've come to expect from this brand. I'm looking forward to having opportunities to use it more around our Urban and Off-Grid Homesteads :-)

Hey! This is Mindy, the Director of Industrial Design at BioLite: During the development of the HeadLamp 200 project, BioLite had one goal which was to make a more comfortable headlamp. We achieved this by choosing a compact, rechargeable and energy dense li-ion battery, architecting a new approach to headstraps called 3D SlimFit, and carefully selecting LEDs which maximized the number of lumens per watt-hour. The outcome is an ultra lightweight headlamp that's perfect for running (no bouncing!) or reading in your tent at night. Trust me, you'll forget you're wearing it!

Good to go, but needs refinement

Overall i like the headlamp, it is light powerful, quick to charge. It does however need some refinement. 1. It is tricky to charge by having to have the light folded down to access the port. 2. It is difficult to turn on and off and move into position with gloves on. 3. When moving around it clicks and moves within the light space. None of these are deal breakers, but can be improved upon for future versions.

Nice features, but issues

I have owned this headlamp for 3 months with limited use for work and play. Although many of the features are positive, quality of light, minimal weight and easy head band adjustment, I do have issues with the product. I'm lucky if I get 3 hours of illumination on the brightest setting after a full charge. If I use the lamp for a couple of short duration usages at it's brightest (3-10 minute periods over a week), it's requires recharging again. As well the rubber flap the covers the USB port is easily dislodged from the closed positioning and the actual USB port is awkward to insert the charging cord.
