Excellent for running!

I purchased the headlamp for my evening runs and after 2 runs I can say that I love the light. I don’t feel it on my head and the tilt feature, which allows me to adjust the angle of the light, is great to get the right area ahead of me. It is easy to adjust the light brightness features as well without having to take
the light off. Overall this was a purchase which I am extremely happy with.

Why Did I Wait So Long?

I’ve had a couple of cheap headlamps and they never provided the kind of light that I needed. I only use it around the house and on my car so I can be hands free. I don’t need a super bright lamp, but this one is nice and bright. When Fenix put it on sale, I couldn’t resist. It was a good value and I am very happy!

Back-up headlamp or short run

This is by back-up light for running at night or main headlamp for short training. Light and powerfull and the band is extremely confortable. Like the fact you could use 3 AAA batteries. My only beef with the headlamp, I would prefer USB-C instead of micro usb for charging.

Fenix is awesome product. This is my 5th light

Well thought out product and so far sturdy and stable during trail runs. Happy with all lighting output settings by allowing the freedom to have a flood and spot in the same lamp. Headband is extremely comfortable, but time will tell to determine the durability of the size adjustment mechanism.
