Garmin Varia UT 800 Smart Headlight with Dual Out-Front Mount

I don't ride at night but use this because of it's day-flash mode. It is SUPER bright! Definitely helps get attention. The light pairs with many garmin devices or you can use it stand alone. When paired with a 830, you can leave the light in a standby mode. In stanndby the lights fire up automatically when you start an activity. Pretty Cool!!! Or you can just power it down completely. Also, when paired w/830 you can control the light mode via the 830 interface. That way you don't have to reach down and fidget with the light. I cheaped out on a go-pro mount, and of course, needless to say, the light flew off when i hit a bump at 18+ mph. The light hit the ground and bounced up high, so high I was able to reach to the side and swat it so it would land closer to the side walk and away from cars where it could get run over (yes it has happened, I had a watch that fell and got run over.) At any rate, the light only had a minor scuff and still works great! amazing, I thought I had lost the light for good.

I have used this light on all of my rides for the last several years. It pairs well with my Edge 1040 and has decent battery life on the flash mode. I use it during day time rides for safety reasons to make sure cars see me coming. My only complaint is the USB-micro charging connection. I think an upgrade to the USB-C connector would be nice. I will buy a new one when this upgrade is available.

The Garmin Varia UT 800 Smart Headlight is legit. This thing turns my 5AM rides from “dark questionable life choices” into “Tour de France night stage.” It connects right to my Garmin computer, has multiple modes, great battery life, and a solid mount that hasn’t launched it into orbit (yet). It’s bright enough to make deer question their life decisions and to let early morning drivers know I’m either training… or trying to escape something. Battery lasts plenty long for my pre-dawn suffering, and it’s smart enough to adjust brightness automatically, which is more than I can say for my own decision-making before coffee. 10/10 makes me visible, faster, and slightly more dramatic about my cycling hobby.

I needed a replacement front "Blinky" that had enough lumens to be useful for getting home on a late return from a ride as the days get shorter. This seemed like a good integration with my Garmin 1040 (which is excellent). The mounting system with the Garmin mount is good. The 1040 found the light and the settings and control seem to be working fine after a couple software/firmware updates. The "Hi-Vis" mode is a bit too bright in my view, ok on the road but too bright for bikeways. The battery life in "Auto" for constant on is less than what I expected and overall less than advertised. Lumens are adequate to get you home but I have much better lights (Exposure Strada) for actual planned riding during darkness. Can never quite tell if it's charging or completely shut off as the blue "connection" indicator seems to be looking for the head unit. Battery level on the 1040 shows the light as fully charged but based on past experiences with Garmin I'm not sure I trust it yet. OK so far, just a bit ambivalent about value for money and although Garmin have come a LONG way with their software and UI it frequently feels like "not quite ready for prime time" with a lot of their stuff.

I’ll start by saying I have this light integrated with my Garmin Edge 1030, so I can’t comment on standalone functionality. I can say that turning the light on and off is easy, and cycling through the different modes is easy. From an integration standpoint, this light is awesome! The Edge 1030 connects to the light when I turn it on, and automatically turns the light on when I start cycling. I have it set to strobe mode during the day, but it automatically switches to high full brightness at sunset. When I complete my ride on my Edge 1030, the light automatically switches off. Aesthetically the light is slim and sleek, not super heavy, and is easily installed on the bottom of my bike computer mount which further streamlines my bike. Battery life is great! I charge it when I charge my computer and it has never died on me. The price may not be cheap, but you get what you pay for! Note that this light integrates with many other Garmin bike computers besides the Edge 1030.

I use this light every day. The high setting is very bright, but I get the most use from the daylight setting. It really helps you to get noticed by motorists even on bright summer days. The light pairs easily with compatible Garmin GPS devices and will automatically adjust the light settings based on the outside light and your speed. This is intended to save the battery life while also providing the most useful amount of light, but I think it uses more battery than it saves just to run the bluetooth connection. Also, the connection to the mount is a bit fiddly, but solid once you get it right. It's a good light, if a bit over priced.

This is perfect for what I needed. It was what I expected. It links with my garmin bike computer

Great light and works perfectly with my Edge 520 computer. To get more battery life, I usually manually override the automatic features, so I can keep it in blinking mode or on low. Great light output on med or high, but drains the battery rather quickly (as expected). Install is easy and secure. IMO, not the "cleanest" of looks, but very functional. Just the right number of light modes and well made/sturdy piece of equipment. Pleased with my purchase.

クラウドファンディングで買って全然使えなかったり、ライト問題に終止符を打つべく購入しました。 まだ長期にわたり使用したわけではないですが、結果大満足。もうライトに散財するのを止めれたかもしれません。 サイコンは代々GARMINを使用しており現在Edge530です。センサーにこのライトを追加してどのように連動させるか等の設定をしたら後はサイコンをスタートさせ走り出すだけです！ サイコンのバックライト用照度センサーを共有しているようで、明るい場所でデイフラッシュ、トンネルに入ると点灯に切り替わるなど、全て自動。片手を離してスイッチを押すとか、ついてるかな？と心配するとかがなくなってストレスフリーです。 日照時間が短くなってくるこれからの秋冬前にこのライトに変えられて良かった。 なんか、リアもGARMINにしたくなってきました。 値段がお高いのがなんともですが、安物数多く買って失敗していくよりは、ファイナルアンサーとして投資価値ありと思います。

L’article est conforme à mes attentes, je le recommande.

Strange light to be fair. Its great that can be controlled through the edge series of computers. So can have it turn on when you start, change how it operates whilst riding etc. It's battery life is a bit suspect and the high mode is more of a city light rather than a country lane beast. I have now moved it to my helmet as it is light enough not to be too noticeable. Where it has worked well is a daylight riding light, the ease of use, the flash etc are perfect for this, but not at the price its sold at. One or the models, urban or trail, comes with a helmet mount but you can find others on amazon as it works with go pro mounts. I got mine for £89 from a seller on amazon US. I think this price is the top end for it. If it pops up black friday/prime days etc for a prices lower than that then i think for most people looking for an all rounder day/city light then this should be seriously looked at.

Great and Sturdy headlight with mount. I've been using this more on with my road bike than I have for the trail. One thing I've discovered is that there are a LOT more spiders and webs when you ride trails in the early morning hours. Great light, amazing battery life, easy to press button on the side controls the intensity of the light beam. You can tell it's a quality light when you handle it. If you need one, get this one. Garmin really nailed the design.

exelente calidad, buena intensidad, buena duracion de la bateria,
