Video Review
Experience
I used the Byte headlamp on 2 camp-outs, hiking, trail running and under the hood. It is light and comfortable enough to wear. I found that the Red LED was great for in the tent, around the campfire and hiking. I thought that it was a bit too dim for trail running. I could see shapes fine and when running along familiar paths it was adequate. Using it on unfamiliar trails was more difficult as depth perception was not fully there. Hiking it worked well, though it does not work to hike with someone else who has a regular bright flashlight or white LED. It takes a minute or too for the eyes to adjust to the red LED light but I find it to be a more relaxed and welcome experience when exploring at night.
