Bright lamp, buttons need revision.
I took this lamp with me on the Everest Base Camp trek. Brightness is excellent and I love that it charges rather than uses batteries from an eco standpoint. However, the buttons on front and back are far too easy to turn on accidentally. No matter how i packed this light in my pack, when I set the pack down, the light had almost always turned on inside the pack accidentally, draining the battery. Also, after about 10 days into the trek, the lamp just stopped working: it had a good charge, but would not function except for one of the two red lamps generating a very weak glow. As a lamp for around the house, walking dogs, etc, I think this would be great, but to me, it’s not suitable for serious outdoor work.

Great Comfort, Terrible Battery Life
I wanted to love this headlamp, but unfortunately the battery life is atrocious. This headlamp is 5 Stars for comfort and minimal bounce - definitely the best running headlamp I've used, and the articulating front light is very useful. However, it is 1 Star for battery life. I'm not sure if mine is an edge case, but fully charged, this thing is dead after 2 nights of car camping (though it gets turned off and on frequently, I'd say it equals roughly 20min continuous use, maybe 30min max). Likewise, fully charged it died after 1hr continuous use on trail at medium dimness setting. Would not recommend.

Be seen, be comfortable, be confident
Fantastic headlamp. This is now my go-to for evening runs in the city. The rear red light is clutch and makes sure I'm seen on my way to the trail. Safety is huge for me and with Dash, I feel visible and confident. Not to mention the comfort; I barely notice it's there!

Disappointed after one month.
Purchased one month ago for trail running. Have had many previous headlamps, but saw the small forehead unit with promise of targeted light. Not a very sturdy design to begin with. The unit with the battery on the back slides the entire unit down your head if not extra tight-and is not always centered. Then on average trail run(50min) light was so dim I fell twice then it went out completely. Compared to others-poor light intensity despite reported lumens-poor battery life. Would not buy again.

Taillight is great for walking the dog in the dark
I purchased this for the red light in back for when I’m walking my dog on dark evenings in Fairbanks Alaska. The light works very well, much like my other Biolite headlamp. I especially like the tilt feature and the option of going red. It’s easier on my eyes.

Doesnt' hold a charge just like the 425
I was excited to upgrade from the Biolite 425, hoping the battery issues would be resolved in the newer version. Unfortunately, the new model still has the same frustrating battery problems. Right out of the box, the battery performance is inconsistent. After fully charging, the light indicators show full charge, but within just a minute of use, it quickly drops to 3 lights. Turning the unit off and back on causes the charge to drop further to just 2 lights, indicating only 50% charge remaining. This is incredibly frustrating, especially when you're counting on a full charge for extended use. I’ve owned the previous model, the Biolite 425, and have experienced similar issues. The device works fine as long as you keep it on without turning it off, and fully recharge after use. But as soon as you power it down and try to use it again, the charge reading is inaccurate and unreliable. For context, I also own the Biolite 350 and 750, both of which work flawlessly without any of the issues I’ve encountered with the 425 and this new model. It's a real letdown considering the high quality I’ve come to expect from Biolite products. I hope Biolite addresses these battery inconsistencies in future updates or models. As it stands, I’m returning this product due to its unreliable battery performance.

Super Bright Highly Recommend
The BioLite Dash 450 is a game-changer for anyone who loves being outdoors. I use it for running, and it’s perfect—it’s super bright (450 lumens!) and lights up even the darkest trails. The red night vision mode is also a nice touch for when you don’t want to blind yourself or others. I love that BioLite focuses on sustainability, too—it’s clearly built to last and feels like a quality product. Overall, it’s reliable, versatile, and a must-have for running or whatever adventure you’re into. Highly recommend!
