It would be perfect if I could change the light angle

I've been using the bandicoot headlamp for a few months now. It has a good battery lifespan and is easy to recharge. Mostly it was exactly what I was hoping for. My only real concern is that you can't adjust the angle of the light. I normally want light more downwards (to see the ground or what I'm doing) so I need to tilt my head downwards. I find myself carrying it more than wearing it because if I wear it for any length of time, my neck gets tight. One small other thing - the two buttons on the top feel the same so I often press the wrong one when trying to turn it on. It's hard to tell if I've pressed it properly or if it was the wrong button.

Nice *

This is a nice headlamp, I like it. *It is a bit awkward to remove the lamp for recharging though and I am a bit concerned about durability.

Good brightness but very hard to use, should be much simpler to turn on

just enough to light up the path

I bought this light as a night time running light (it appears to be identical to the running version, except for the non-translucent silicone band) This standard model was on sale, so I ended up with this.
This light is simple to use, light weight and provides good visibility from other road users, which was my main aim.
The angle of the light itself is not adjustable but seems to be spot on.
It's just bright enough to adequately light up the path on the highest setting. For trail running, I would definitely recommend going for the brighter version. The weight of this light is not noticeable at all, so the next one up should be ok (was my main concern).
I've only worn this over a headband but it's got a foam backing, which sits on your forehead (rather than straight silicone) I can't comment on how this goes directly on skin & when you sweat.
Also not sure on longevity.

'possibly the world's most comfortable & practical all-purpose headlamp.'

‘every travellers backpack, and everyone’s emergency kit, ought to have one of these.’

Why you'll love using Bandicoot 250.

The brilliant all-rounder in our headlamp range.

Multiple LED Options

Optimally placed LEDs for their individual purpose – a high beam to see by, elliptical beams for broad ambient light, a red light for night/ low light and down lights for reading.

Integrated USB Connector

No cables to lose or break. To recharge the headlamp, simply plug the pod into a USB-A port, and you’ll have a full charge in just 4 hours from flat.

Remarkably Comfortable Fit

The moulded silicone strap sits flush against your head, and is perfectly balanced to ensure an amazingly comfortable fit.

Matte Silicone Finish

The strap is moulded in matte silicone that's tough, durable and easy to clean. It fits head circumferences between 30 to 66 cm, and getting the perfect fit is easy using the adjustable toggle.
