BioLiteHeadlamp 800 Pro- Midnight Gray/Black

Outstanding choices in brightness control. Extremely comfortable. Excellent battery life.

The power of this headlight is incredible, but you won't need it for small city runs. Get a lower model it will be lighter and it will be cheaper.

Best headlamp I’ve owned, with a wealth of options and great battery life!

I went through and read some of the reviews on the 800. Now I haven't received mine yet, but based on some of the reviews from current model the highs and lows of the product are very broad in the opinions. In my experience from the previous model the headlamp excelled in all categories. It was great in brightness, longevity, comfort level in wearing, and bonus for me as a ultra runner the run forever plug is a bonus in itself. Another case scenario when running on the country roads early am with the touch of the button of the battery pack for increased brightness for 30 seconds has created an awareness to drivers who where just about to come close to hitting me due to not knowing of my physical presence. THe previous version has not failed when it is raining. I do use my light for other functions besides running and it has worked great. I am looking forward to my new pro 800. If there is any discrepancies with the new model I will most definitely update with any new news.

it's not a 800 lumen light, just 400 lumens. You have the short 10 seconds 800 lumen option but that drain the battery like crazy. I had a night race and did not have enough power for the night at less than 400 lumens. I would take a small light less heavy with a power bank instead of this massive battery in the back of my head.
