However, some older reviews by professional media found it difficult to align the pins correctly. We found it easy to pop off the protective case on the BioLite 330 and insert the USB charger. We like that you don’t have to remove the battery to charge it, unlike the Petzl Actik Core, our recommended Best for Camping winner (see review below). The BioLite is charged with a micro USB cable that can be plugged into the battery pack on the back of the headlamp band.

He would top off the BioLite’s power at night with a portable battery. During testing, the battery never died, even when used for night hiking for several hours, setting up, and breaking up camp every day.

The BioLite 330 has 3.5 hours of battery life at full power and 40 hours at low power.
One nice feature is that the light does a quick double flash when the dimmable light reaches its maximum or minimum power. He only used the red light mode when in camp around other hikers.īoth the spot and floodlight modes are dimmable. He used the spot light at approximately one-half or three-quarter power to night hike and the floodlight mode at the lowest power when in his tent. Mike didn't need to use the brightest light setting, even while night hiking.
He found that the BioLite’s 330 lumens were more than bright enough to night hike safely, seldom using the maximum brightness setting. Towards the end of Mike’s PCT Southbound hikes, days became shorter in November, and night hiking became a necessity. Our testers hiked 3-4 hours a day with it for several months to put this headlamp to full use. We like that it doesn’t have extra modes that are rarely useful. As with our Best Headlamp for Battery Life, the Black Diamond Spot 350 (see review below), we think these are the essential lighting features that every good headlamp should have. The BioLite 330 has five modes: spot, flood, spot+flood, strobe, and red light. In earlier versions of this guide, we were hesitant to recommend a rechargeable headlamp as an overall winner it felt too new, and up until the BioLite 330 came along, many rechargeable headlamps at the time lacked the brightness or battery life we look for in a quality headlamp.īut these days, almost every backpacker and those on overnight trips carry an external battery. It’s an incredibly lightweight bright LED headlamp at only 2.43 ounces (including battery) that's held up to the test of time and over 5,000 miles of backpacking. The BioLite 330 doesn’t have that annoying “wobble” of some headlamps used for running.
That comfort is one of the reasons why we think the BioLite 330 is also the best headlamp for night runners that need a secure and pain-free fit. The BioLite Headlamp 330’s comfort and fit put it above any headlamp we’ve tested.
