I have a few of these, one for the car, two in my bug out bags, one for around the house and one for work. I use the one at work the most as I am a BART train car mechanic working underneath the train cars. I especially like this brand for two reasons, it's light weight and it's rechargeable. The adjustment of the headband can be done while on the head, which is nice. I can adjust it to wear it over my safety bump cap at work or on my bare head if I'm up I side the car working with my hands down inside in a door panel. Also the adjustable tilt of the light itself makes it great for the latter. Excellent light! I would absolutely recommend it.
I liked the design, the headlamp is light and fits well. But the battery was enough max for 2 hours
Hi there! Thanks so much for your feedback! Your lamp should be lasting closer to 4 hours on the Hi setting. Please reach out to our support team at support@bioliteenergy.com.
This worked great the first few months I had it. Then, it began to die within minutes of being turned on, even after having it on a charger for a whole day. I can't even use it for longer than 30 seconds now before it cuts out (despite charging it and having its indicator lights show it's fully charged), so it's essentially useless. It seems from other reviews I am not the only one having this issue. Huge bummer for something that I really liked prior to this problem.
Very disappointed. It worked once for a backpacking trip and I loved it. Very comfortable, very bright. But I just took it with me this weekend to another backpacking trip and it is completely non-functioning. It is 100% charged the lock is off according to the instructions and it just won’t turn on. I press the on button and the battery pack responds by showing me the battery level but the light never turns on. So I was stuck up on a mountain with no headlamp for an entire weekend. I’ve owned many different headlamps by many different brands and I’ve never had this happen. I’ve lost any confidence I previously had in this brand of headlamp. Biolite, please fix this and I’ll update my review.
Dave! We're so sorry to hear this. We absolutely want to restore your faith in your BioLite headlamp, and want it to be a piece of gear that you trust anywhere -- especially while camping in the mountains for an entire weekend. Please reach out to our support team and we'll replace this with a fully-functional HeadLamp 330 right away.
I like the design. The on button is easy to push. The light is sufficient. I've been using it for about 2 years, a few times a week. But the lamp turns off after a few minutes of use even though it is fully charge. :(
I bought this for my BF's Christmas present, and he loves it. I had purchased one a few months ago, and have been raving to him about it. Its light, recharagble (no extra costs or being wasteful qith batteries), perfectly balance on your head). He has worn it twice and gives it an A+
I love this headlamp! It's very light and comfortable to wear and stays snug against my head without that too tight feeling that always gives me a headache with other headlamps. I like the low profile front--less weight in the front definitely increases the amount of time I can wear it comfortably. I was initially worried about having something on the backside of headlamp band (because which of us has not had "that" lamp with the ginormous battery pack poking you in the back of the head before) but it's no issue. I put on the headlamp and it's so light and perfectly fitted it literally disappears-- I forget I have it on until I need it.
Super light and easy to run with! Fits very comfortable around the head!
Excelente product Nice fit, very lightweight. Charging no problem
Why would anyone buy a tool with such a short lifespan. After a year or so the head lamp charge becomes shorter and shorter AND will just simply shut off all of a sudden without warning. Do not depend on this headlamp for the trail or camp in the evening or at night over time. So many other headlamps have a way of replacing the rechargeable battery when its time has come. Also this headlamp is the hardest unit to turn on and off that I have ever had. Frustratingly so. It will hurt your knuckle if your finger slips. I have other BioLite products that are working fine but the design of this one is, well, they just simply dropped the ball.
Hi Daimon, you're absolutely right that a trustworthy headlamp should not be losing its battery life drastically or shutting off sporadically within a year. We'd love to make this right for you! Please reach out to our team here: https://help.bioliteenergy.com/hc/en-us and we can look into shipping a replacement HeadLamp 330 your way.
