BioLite Dash 450 Rechargeable Headlamp – 450 Lumens, Ember Fade

BioLite Dash 450: a slim, rechargeable headlamp built for comfort and clarity

Engineered with BioLite's award-winning 3D SlimFit Construction, the Dash 450 sits flush against the forehead with a front profile of just 10 mm and a weight of 78 g. A moisture-wicking strap helps keep you cool and dry through fast climbs, wet mornings, or cool nights, while the rechargeable battery means you can leave disposable alkalines behind.

Bright, precise illumination

The Dash 450 delivers a powerful beam with 450 lumens and a 90-meter reach, thanks to an optimized lens design that concentrates light where you need it most. Whether you’re navigating a rocky trail at dusk or scouting a campsite after sundown, you’ll see and be seen without excess glare.

• 450-lumen output for strong night visibility
• 90-meter beam range for long-range clarity
• Optimized optics for focused, consistent illumination
• Non-bulky, front profile minimizes distraction during activity

Safety and 360-degree visibility

Beyond front-facing light, the Dash 450 includes a rear red light and a reflective band for 360-degree visibility in low-light conditions. This combination supports awareness from other hikers, cyclists, or motorists on winding roads and late-evening paths.

• Rear red light enhances rear-facing visibility
• Reflective band increases conspicuity in dim environments
• 360-degree lighting helps you stay noticeable from multiple angles

Power, durability, and everyday reliability

• IPX4 water resistance for light rain and sweat exposure
• USB-C recharge in roughly 2 hours
• 60 hours runtime on low, 3 hours on high, 1-hour reserve
