BioLite HeadLamp 200

Bulky headlamps that bounce, slip, and dig into your forehead make every night-time camp chore more annoying than it needs to be.

The BioLite HeadLamp 200 solves the comfort problem first. At a featherweight 50 grams, the slim front panel sits flush against your forehead with a moisture-wicking band, so there's no bounce when you walk and no pressure point after an hour.

It's a suitable hands-free companion for everything from late dinners to early-morning starts, with a rechargeable battery and a constant, no-fade brightness.

Ultralight, no bounce

At around 50g with a flush front panel, it stays put on the move — a genuine upgrade over heavy, top-heavy headlamps.

Constant brightness

Up to 200 lumens with a regulated output, so light doesn't slowly fade as the battery drains.

USB rechargeable

An integrated rechargeable battery means no more scrambling for spare AAAs at the campsite.

Multiple modes

Spot, flood, strobe and a red night-vision mode cover everything from trail running to reading in the tent.

Best for

  • Night hikes
  • Cooking after dark
  • Trail running
  • Tent reading

Our final opinion

The HeadLamp 200 nails the fundamentals: it's light, comfortable, bright enough, and rechargeable. The no-bounce fit is the feature you'll appreciate most on a night hike or a 5am pack-down.

For a do-everything camp headlamp that you'll actually want to wear, it's an easy pick.
