BioLite HeadLamp 330 Lumen No-Bounce Rechargeable Head Light

This is a great little head torch. It’s comfortable and sits well on my small head. The output is enough to navigate a beach in the dark. However I find the on button very temperamental and the settings difficult to get the correct light. I can spend an age pushing the on button sometimes before it will come on, then when I try the 1,2,3 push to get to a light setting it can either turn off or just strobe the setting it’s on, this is mostly when trying to get setting 3. That button really needs to better as this product could be absolutely awesome.

I cannot see any way to contact the seller so am placing a review in the hope of a response. All good but mine stopped charging after only using once for about half an hour. Just like another reviewer has found, my husband reports that when you plug the charging cable in, all battery indicator lights come on, indicating that the battery is full; but after disconnecting the cable and switching on the light, after 3-4 seconds it switches off and shows no battery - one battery indicator light blinking. After just 10 months this is unacceptable and I believe I should be entitled to a replacement - hoping the seller will see this and contact me.

Saw a recommendation on Runners World and decided to order a couple for me and the lad now that many of our runs are in the dark. What can I say, perfect! The lamps have 5 modes: red, spot, flood, spot + flood, and flashing spot. The spot mode is extremely bright, and flood mode gives a nice bright spread of light. Not sure what the red is useful for unless you put it on backwards for cycling? Anyway, very impressed and a good decision to buy.

I bought this head torch to replace a cheaper battery powered LED one, initial impressions are very good. It has an excellent light output. I can see enough to be able to run down a trail in complete darkness and the battery still has 50% left after approx 2 hours of use, so has not yet needed re-charging. It is comfortable to wear and a good fit. It is quite expensive (for a relatively simple torch) hence 4 stars rather than 5.

I tried a slightly cheaper product but had to return when I found the plastic shortening straps were incorrectly placed and no way to fix.I use this for running, in the UK. I run at around 5am and along canal paths. My runs are about 1.5hrs and I get 2 runs in then charge. The battery has never failed.In short, as a runner doing 1-2hr runs in the dark, this works really well.And as ex squad, it even has a red filter!
