Quokka Run 150 Headlamp

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.

Broke after two uses. Customer service never replied to my email(s). Super sketchy!

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.

These headlamps are not worth the money. Had one for about a year, after a run on a humid day it took on sweat and never worked again. Replaced it with a new Quokka 150, after one month it quit holding a charge. Company policy is they won't give your money back unless you have original packaging, the device is able to be resold and it is within 30 days. Decided to just throw it away as going through all the trouble for a $30 headlamp wasn't worth the headache. 0 for 2 in about 14 months. You get what you pay for. These lamps are unfortunately cheap and show it.

Headlamp works really well for running. Medium intensity setting is plenty to light your way, so battery is solid. Only very minor gripe is it’s increasingly difficult to find a usb a port to charge the thing. Still 5 stars from me.

The light works as advertised. Light weight and easy to adjust and wear

Great product, highly recommend

These lights are great. They are secure, do not bounce when running, are super bright, and are easy to clean and recharge for tomorrow. Love them!!

Really happy with the different lighting options and how the light displays - just the right amount to have the visibility needed without lighting up the neighborhood. The one thing that is a little awkward is how the light fits into the silicon band. The band is more comfortable than the hard plastic so it's not great to have it exposed to your skin and I also noticed I ended up with some sweat between the light and the band. Still, in terms of hygiene, I think it's better than a fabric band. And the light itself is fantastic.

I clicked a targeted ad on instagram for the bike bell (which I was thrilled to find on sale for $10!) and ended up also ordering a headlamp and a rechargeable bike light. I LOVE all three products. The headlamp is super light-weight and easy to use, wonderful for the price. The bike light is very well made and an awesome upgrade to the one I had before (much brighter and better battery life). Thanks Knog!

Really love the weight and ease of operation, gecko-like stick to the head! Real advance from heavy battery headlamps. Is slightly temporamental charging so hopefully it will keep working - have to try different chargers.
