Great For Occasional Users, Not For Daily Users.

I am on my second 800 pro. I use them daily walking the dogs and as part of my daily EDC. The Strap retainers on the first one broke after a few months and eventually the switch went bad after about 2 years of daily use. I feel I got my money's worth out of it. I just replaced it with a new one a few months ago. Again, I use it daily for walking dogs at night. I got stuck in the rain a few nights again, and it started having problems with the switch. It says specifically that you can "Wear it in the rain, just don't go swimming with it". Never had an issue with the first one in the rain. This new one crapped out. Somehow it appears water intruded into the electrical housing and it no longer works after wearing it once in the rain. I take care of my gear very carefully because my life can rely on it. I love this light, but I have serious concerns about it's ability to stand up to daily use. It seems like a good light for occasional users, but the build quality doesn't seem like it's able to stand up to daily users, even if it's for walking dogs.

Best Light

Use this in ultra runs through night. Very bright. Great battery light. And the rear light makes running on city streets safer.

Verified Purchase

New Not So Good

I bought the original biolite headlamp and loved it. Unfortunately lost it. Went out to replace it and discovered none of the current headlamps match that design. This one seemed closest, but is way bulkier and not nearly as useful as the original. If there is a current headlamp available that is more inline with the original's design, please let me know.

Good Light - Terrible Warranty/lifetime

Good lamp, I really liked the light it put out- I typically used mine for night skiing or backpacking/hunting. That being said, I used mine less than 50 times and the plastic clip on the strap broke. As the clip is sewed into the strap, it rendered the lamp toast (or, at least permanently one size from here out). Not really worth the amount of money if a cheap clip renders it useless and it can’t be replaced. 2 stars because light and battery were fine for me.

Jack Of All Master Of None

Thought I could buy one light to rule them all.... I was wrong:( Ok it still gets 4 stars because it is still a good light...if you only have one It is definitely bright enough for on the road, but that power comes with weight. More than what should be on a road light. It has enough power for on the trail especially with burst mode but I want a trail light that is that bright all the time! Also that would be cool if the ditched the tail light on trail lights. No need for a tail light on a trail light.
