Brooklyn, NY (February 5, 2025) — BioLite, a social enterprise leader in lighting, cooking, and energy solutions, is thrilled to announce the latest expansion of their best-selling rechargeable HeadLamp Series: The Dash 450. Designed to meet the illumination needs of runners, the new model delivers unparalleled comfort with improved visibility, helping users both see and be seen on the road or trail.

The 450 lumen headlamp features an optimized lens that produces a 90M beam with higher lux, creating concentrated illumination ideal for running in lowlight conditions. A rear red light and reflective printing on the band improve the visibility of the wearer from all angles. 

“Our very first headlamp emerged as a cult favorite within the running community,” says VP of Marketing Erica Rosen, “a key piece of feedback we received over the years was that it wasn’t just about lighting the path ahead, but also the safety component of being seen by others, be it a car, biker, or fellow pedestrian. We’re proud to have a new design that delivers on these improvements, all while maintaining a super slim profile and our patented no-bounce fit.” 

The bright, USB-C rechargeable unit packs into an ultrathin design that features a 10mm thick front light and weighs in at a total of only 78 grams. By seamlessly integrating electronics and softgood components, the patented 3D SlimFit construction creates a fit that moves with the runner. A moisture wicking band provides added comfort while the IPX4 rating means runners can take this out on a rainy day without issue. 

Standard runtimes for Dash 450 are 3 hours on HI and 60 hours on LO with an included 1 hour of Low Power Mode so runners don’t get left in the dark; for users logging longer miles and training sessions, Dash 450 can be paired with an external battery source for real-time pass-thru charging.

“Long haul runners typically wear a vest or pack that can perfectly fit a small powerbank, like BioLite’s Charge PD Series,” says Rosen, “just connect your power bank to the back of your Dash 450 via USB-C and you can instantly expand your runtimes while you’re using it – and still forget you’re wearing it.”

Made for training, race days, and run clubs, BioLite’s new Dash 450 HeadLamp offers the ultimate combination of performance, fit, and high-visibility for outdoor running.
