Like the overall concept and many features, including the spare battery capacity to rotate them out. However two major design flaws: the charging port is uncovered leaving it susceptible to dust in dry air, and more importantly, the charging port is on the light unit not the battery itself = you must have the battery attached to the light to charge the battery. This eliminates the ability to rotate batteries and have one charging while the other one is on the light. Overall great performance otherwise, but counterintuitive on the design.

I found the instructions with international symbols somewhat difficult especially for battery replacement, I overlooked the release lever as I didn't see it at first (step 1 of replacement instruction -- see lock symbol on paper inst, but it doesn't show the lever, seen on side view), it needs to be turned out away from the body of the light then it was simple. I'll attempt to load a photo of lever (which has no symbol) at top near corner.

I want to love it, but not sure yet-

I just got this along with a couple replacement batteries. Super bright so I am pumped for that. I realize it is brand new, so I am tempering my thoughts with that in mind. I am a longtime BD equipment user, lights, poles, etc. With that being said, my first thought with this setup is "Why tho?" on only being able to charge the battery through the headlamp itself. I am stoked on the change to USB C, despite hosing myself on all my other BD rechargeable for now. Please make a charging cord adapter to be able to charge a loose battery without the headlamp itself. I look forward to using it. Will probably just end up buying a second headlamp to be able to charge on the fly for multi-day adventures.

I think it will be great in the field if the various functions are accessible. Unfortunately I find the buttons for the functions only intermittently reliable; part of the problem may be following the exact sequence in the instructions ( I was having difficulties locking it in the off position, even with using implements [pens] to compensate for problems of impaired hand coordination and sensation, but successful today) therefor I've taken a picture of the universal symbol instructions on my smart phone for future reference in the Field, and may need to have a lower threshold for use than I thought necessary. It may take a lot of practice to learn all the functions or you may accidently end up in a frustrating loop by using trial and error to learn them; I found my self with flashing lights suggestive of the safety light or SOS function. Regardless, the buttons could have larger touch contacts with greater separation between the two for those with challenges similar to mine.

My New “Do Everything” Headlamp
1 year ago
As a long time backpacker I became afflicted with GAS decades ago. One of the shiny objects that I am addicted to is backpacking lights. As a collector I collect (mostly) BD and Petzl models. I loved the Spot 400 except for the problem with the rechargeable battery issue (needing an extra charger). . Just like the story of Goldilocks I have been looking for the just right (for me) lamp for extended backpacking trips. One of the things that I noticed right away is that the light has less bounce inertia due to the lamp being isolated from the battery. Another is using USB-C cuts down on cable clutter for recharging on the trail. The last one is the touch boost for route finding. Not needing to cycle through settings is a nice touch. Anybody want a mint condition Petzl Actik Core?

Good Idea, Not so Good in Practice
2 months ago
Really needed a light with functionality to change out batteries mid-race. Needed to be able to charge one battery while using the other. You cannot do that with this headlamp, as you need to have the battery attached to the light in order to charge. Additionally swapping out batteries is really difficult. Made more challenging in the dark, cold, and with fatigue. It was a good idea, but unfortunately this is not the solution. Returning mine and hoping to find something else.

Great Headlamp

I recently purchased the LT 1100 headlamp, and it has completely transformed my early morning runs. The brightness is outstanding, providing clear visibility even on the darkest trails or streets. The adjustable beam allows me to focus the light exactly where I need it, ensuring I can see obstacles and navigate safely. The headlamp is lightweight and comfortable to wear, with a secure fit that doesn't slip or bounce around during my runs. The battery life is impressive, lasting through multiple long runs without needing a recharge. Plus, the headlamp is water-resistant, making it perfect for all weather conditions. Overall, this headlamp has exceeded my expectations in every way. It's durable, reliable, and packed with features that make night running safer and more enjoyable. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a high-quality headlamp for trail running!

Light it up!

Talk about bright, and superbly functional; this little number can do it all. Keep me moving comfortably on the trail in the utter darkness and help me find my path to the tent - somewhere over there - once the sandman comes calling! So many options I know I haven’t used em all yet, But know they’ll come in hand. And being rechargeable is so now, and the way it should be. Off and running!

Awesome headlight! Checked all the boxes I was wanting: Rechargeable with USB C connection, IP67 rated (water proof), 500+ lumens, compact, lightweight, long battery life, reasonable price. I switched headlight brands to get all of this in one headlamp and I don't regret it. I use this headlamp for canyoneering, camping, and anytime I want to blind someone. . .
