GarminVaria UT800 Smart Headlight(Return to Product Page)

Downgraded to 4 stars because the connection with the Garmin head unit can be finicky. At times one needs to remove the sensor and reinstall. Other than that great light.

Long battery. Perfectly paired with garmin computer one holder for all.

Run this light on my road and gravel bike. Easy to sync with my Garmin and like how the speed effects the brightness of the light saving power. I run it in flash mode during the day and its bright.

The best thing about this light is that it doesn't clutter your handlebar with another gadget, but fits under a Garmin in a dual mount. I don't ride at night, but went to Europe and felt comfortable in the long, dark tunnels.

Nice beam, but there are some Bontrager and Light & Motion lights that have better ones. Good battery life, but when you use the smart life features the battery can burn through in 1.5 hours or less. Not incredibly expensive, but also not a great deal.

On its highest setting you'll be lucky to get 45 mins of light. Probably less. But wait there's more... when you sync the light up to your Garmin cycling computer using the smart technology be prepared to have the cycling computer completely freeze up and require a factory reset. That's right..... you'll need to re-program all your screens, personal data, etc... On the plus side, it looks nice.

I have the light mounted to my helmet using a GoPro system. The light works well and the battery life has been very good. When connected to a Garmin head unit, the light will turn onoff automatically and will get brighter with speed. Light coverage is good for the trails I am riding. I generally have a light on the bars plus this one on the helmet.

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

Garmin makes pretty good products and their UT800 is no different. Its bluetooth compatible and you can hook it up to your existing Garmin Edge device for connectivity. Its baytery life is pretty good lasting around a couple of hours on the solid beam section. I have this parked with the Garmin Varia and they work well with one another. Hopefully their next iteration the light will be better.

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

The road bike version of Varia 800 comes with dual holder for garmin gps and light. Easy to assemble and has settings for night riding to bright flashing for daytime. My only complaint and its not against the light so much but the blue tooth is interfering with my garmin 810. Its not supposed to work with the 810 but its causing pauseresume issues as its tryng to connect.

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.

Love the style, mount and workmanship. Mounts on the bottom of my Garmin mount. I used a 1030 in top and it connects to the light. I use the light in flasher mode to be seen during the day by motorists.

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

Perfect.

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

Works well. Great quality.

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
