These two headlamps have a lot of features but I find the usage to be clunky. I have accidentally touched the side of the lamp and have it flash to extra bright too many times. When I the brightest setting by accident it takes me a few moments to find the place to touch the side of the headlamp and turn it back to normal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Holding down the button to cycle through the brightness settings also seems clunky and a cumbersome activity to find the brightness setting I want.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Battery life can drain quickly when the headlamp shows two blue dots of charge. I&#8217;ve had 2 dots on a trip then after a few weeks at home the batteries were dead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I like the lock sequence so you don&#8217;t accidentally squish the headlamp on while you are backpacking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Somehow the plastic face lens has several cracks and is no longer waterproof and I don&#8217;t have the receipt for the 3 year warranty. I know I didn&#8217;t drop the headlamp so this is a warning the plastic faceplate is fragile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The red LED is fine, though I wish it was brighter, perhaps the Spot 400 has a brighter red LED.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Overall I wish I had bought a different headlamp and I&#8217;m looking for a replacement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> I have used the Spot 350 a lot and it is time to look for a new headlamp.
