Like a lot of other reviews, it only lasted a few months and now won't charge up. Very disappointing quality
This is the second one I have bought. The first one lasted about 8 runs and recharges. It refused to charge up. The charging light stayed on no matter how long it was left to charge. The second one lasted about 2 runs and recharges. This second one charges (the charging light goes off) but now won’t turn on. I will have to go buy another brand. It is a pity because it is a great light until it stopped working.
My second one of these just died after a few uses. There's another review here about how they aren't sweatproof and I think that's what's happening to mine unfortunately. Pretty unsustainable product for how long it works. But when it does work it's great. Hopefully Knog can work through the obvious defect in this product.
This headlight is very light and comfortable to wear and is fairly easy to use the various modes while on the head. However, one of the red LEDS stopped working after two uses. Thankfully customer service was prompt and is supplying me a replacement.
These headlamps are fabulous… until they aren’t. As a marathon runner, this is the first headlamp I’ve found that is comfortable, lightweight, bright, and does not bounce. However, these lamps have one massive flaw, they are NOT water-resistant, not even close! I have been through 4 of these headlamps in the past 4 months. ALL have broken in the same way. After a really sweaty or rainy run, I will see small water droplets in the actual lamp… then the power button stops working, the light either never turns on again, or I can not turn it off (aka light eventually dies and never turns on again). My last Quokka 150 broke like this on its 2nd use after taking it out for a run
while it was sprinkling outside. Such a shame these are falsely advertised as “storm proof”. I want to like these SO bad (hence buying 3 more after the 1st broke), but I cannot spend $30/lamp to have it break the first time I take it in the rain. This would be a fabulous lamp for working in the garage, but these are NOT built for any kind of vigorous exercise or weather.
My most recent hospice patient pictured below. Power button won’t work… light stuck on this dim glow….. condensation inside…. impending death.
