GarminVaria UT800 Smart Headlight(Return to Product Page)

It works flawlessly with my Garmin Varia light system And integrates perfectly with my Garmin edge 1000.

Perfect.

Works well. Great quality.

Overall it works great. Plenty of features that are easy to set up. Love that it is paired with my bike computer. It is seamless when operating the light with the computer

very visible , battery has a good life.Very stable on the bike.

The UT 800 is bright and paired with my Edge 1030 Plus works seamlessly. I use it for night rides in trail mode and get 2.5 hours out of the batteries.

Gets the attention of drivers in urban areas. I have a smaller front light for daytime, but I have used this light in more congested areas. Also works well at night.

I was hoping I could use in my helmet but way too heavy, sometimes solid isn't sold and I returned it

Very bright and it connects to garmin computer very easy

Love this light ! Works perfect with my Garmin Edge 830

Very bright, very 'smart' headlight. Syncs with my Garmin 1030 plus. Long battery life. Highly recommend this headlight

A little pricey, but effective. Easy to use and a decent battery life.

I enjoy using this light together with e1030 and v510

Good options for brightness and also for constant or flash mode. Works nice with my wahoo it connects and turns on when I start my rides.

Impressive light. You have full control from the head unit, which can set the light to automatic. Ambient light sensor takes care of this - as well as fluctuating the lumens based on your speed to get the most out of battery life. Another very well thought-out Garmin product, just wish it wasn't so heavy... but that's just battery tech for you. Highly recommended either way - completes the ANT+ light network with the Varia RTL515 when used with a Garmin head unit. Game changer for cycling safety. Recently replaced my conventional front light and couldn't be happier.

I'm a true testament of the Garmin brand.!That's why it was a no brainer in making this purchase. The light seamlessly connects with the cycling computer. I'm able to check the battery's life from my head unit. And to my surprise, the battery lasts longer than expected. But like every other cycling light on the market. It depends on which feature you choose. I don't usually ride at nights so I can't say how bright it is. However, the light shines bright enough to be seen during the day. Which is what I personally prefer for my safety.

The light works seamlessly with my Garmin Edge 1030 Plus, with effortless connectivity. The Garmin Varia UT 800 provides exceptional brightness making me feel much safer and the battery life is excellent. It is very easy to use.

I've had another UT800 for several years which was a warranty replacement within the first couple months of that initial purchase due to greatly diminished battery life. The replacement was great and met or exceeded the stated battery life through several years of use. I recently purchased another UT800 and from day 1, battery life was well below stated and less than half of the old light in the same use cases. Garmin, admirably sent me a warranty replacement but unfortunately it has the same poor battery life. I don't know if it's a bad batch of batteries, a change in firmware or what, but I can't get past an hour of daytime riding without getting a low battery warning and another 30 minutes of power save flash mode before it dies. The old light is always good for 3-4 hours, even with more time at higher output settings, so a substantial difference. I probably wouldn't consider this light again, even though I like having an integrated system of Garmin head unit, radar and headlight. The battery life just doesn't cut it on the last 2 units I've received.

I have been through several headlights despite the fact that I do not ride at night. I have used the daytime flash on all of the ones I have owned because the majority of my rides are on roads, not bike trails. Previous ones I owned have not had the battery life of the Varia UT800 which barely touchs the battery in a 3 hour ride. Those that came close were far more fragile or had a far from ideal mounting system. Assuming you own an Garmin Edge 800 series of 1030 (more recently 1040) this one uses a mounting system that attaches easily and securely to the underside of the OutFront Garmin mount leaving your handlebars unencombered by the device. I like this particularly because it is both secure and allows me to keep my hands on the bar tops rather than the hoods. Like all Garmin products, it is really sturdy. It can also be controlled with the Edge computer setting the style of lighting you want without having to touch the light at all while you are riding. I use it in combination with the Varia Radar light in back, so I feel pretty certain that I am being seen from both direction well in advance. Aesthetically, it looks solid and professional. It in no ways detracts from the beauty of your top of the line bike. As a night time unit, it throws a powerful beam which should be sufficient for any rider needing to see the road in front. I do recommend it if you have the upper level Edge computers.

Easily integrates with my Edge 1030. When paired with my 1030 you can control the light mode via the 1030 interface. The light is easily installed on the bottom of my bike computer mount. I have experienced excellent battery life in the "Day Flash" mode - approximately 20 hours
