Petzl Bindi Headlamp Review

[@jameskolar9655]

I’ve been using this lamp for years now. I’ve found it convenient to keep it on around your neck when you turn in for the night. Should you require to get up in the night for any reason, you won’t be fumbling about in the dark for a light. It’s around your neck, put it on very quickly and do what you have to do. It’s no bother at all, around your neck and really convenient, being there to use when you want it. It’s a great little lamp.

Actually you can use any USB charger, current rating doesn't matter. Headlamps as most certified electronics (FCC/CE) have a dedicated chip to regulate charging process that prevents it from destroying or harming the battery. Excluding Chinese knockoffs, they will stamp those marks on everything.

Topolis Good to know! Thanks for the input.

This is only good as a back up or emergency light, and it’s excellent at that. I;ve been using mine bike packing for a number of years now, what’s really good is that you can put it around your neck when turning in for the night. Leave it there, it;s no bother at all, but should you need light for any reason at all during the night, you won’t be fumbling around for a hand held light. It’s always yo hand and very easy to use. Should your main lamp fail you, you will have enough light from the Bindi to get you to a safer position, even over fairly rough ground I’ve found. Initially, I didn’t like the Bindi, but I have come to really enjoy it. It’s a great little light.

What is the color temperature of the light - neutral - cold?

[@greenskynz]

hi have you tried Petzl Iko Core headlamp and if yes how do they compare and which would you recommend better leaving the price aspect out. thanks

[@jimbojet8728]

So for an entire 50 mile trail run this light was great, at being carried in your backpack as your back up light?

[@nuffersgear7315]

Haha yep. We were required to have a back up light. I’ve ran with it much more than that though. I’d say everything in the review I still stand by.

[@adrianotero7963]

How long does it last on a charge ? And what are the lumens ?

[@BackpackingWithJason]

Good review. I have this headlamp. I love it.

[@JohnB3000]

i picked one of these little things was suprised by it good product

[@damianocecchelin5867]

Thanks for all the info :-)

[@ricksdom6105]

Just bought one, when I charge it, it turns green shorty. Manual says green is full charge. Try to turn it on and then turns red, charge it and it goes from red to green quick. Thinking about returning it soon. I’ll let it charge although it shows green. What’s your experience with the indicator?

[@GarrettChristensen]

Ricksdom sorry for the late reply, I would send it back. My indicator doesn’t turn green that fast while charging.

[@ricksdom6105]

It actually charges now thankfully. Think it was just really dead or some how it jumped itself back to life.

How the hell do you get full beam on

Click it 3 times

I am electrician and I disagree with the Amps part. You can use any charger, it will drain the ammount it can and no more.

[@troyhamiltonwhite]

What’s your main head lamp?

[@nuffersgear7315]

Black Diamond Spot

[@jimbojet8728]

Actually any charger will be ok.

[@Mikee713]

Time to get rid of your first production camera.

[@GarrettChristensen]

Mikee I totally agree! One day I’ll have the cash.
