Dell Laptop Power Light Flashing Orange Then White

This is a very nice headlamp, without two levels of white light, a red light and a flashing red light.  Having the battery pack on the back makes it much easier to balance and the straps are adjustable over a wide range.

Bright white light is very bright. Red/red-flashing light is cool -- not sure if I'll ever use it. Good fit and balance (with batteries in back). Lightweight and comfortable. Looks suitably geeky. Very happy with my purchase.

Helped my Dell laptop.

This is my first review I have ever written (buying computers sine the 1970's), and only because this CalDigit Element is so good I was compelled to write. I have a new Dell XPS 15 inch 9530. I had options of purchasing the Dell WD22TB4 hub (made for this laptop) or getting the CalDigit. After doing a lot of research I choose the CalDigit because of the vast amount of thunderbolt ports. My Dell laptop had some issues like 4 motherboard replacements, 3 speaker replacements, one screen replacement and one keyboard (ALL IN THE FIRST YEAR). I was hesitant to buy another Dell product. I have my OEM Dell power adapter plugged into the USB-C (right side) to power the laptop because the CalDigit only delivers 60 watts which is no problem. The laptop understands which power to use. What do I gain from this decision. I have 3 empty Thunderbolt 4 ports on the CalDigit and one Thunderbolt 4 port on the laptop free (the other TB4 is used to connect the CalDigit). So I end up with: 4 Thunderbolt 4 ports free 4 USB - A (10 gb) available I have the best of both types of ports. I rather make my own decision as to what the port does instead of a hub having only a set determined specific device ports. This unit out performs any hub I have ever had. In fact the CalDigit's construction is amazingly well built and looks good.

but it is unsettling to have the upstream light flashing

I had the version before this with just white light. They were so annoying with the clip on orange filters. This so much better now having the bi-leds with a scroll wheel to control both white and warm legs.

Installed into a Dell laptop and it works great!

Works fine on my new Dell Laptop

So far, I’m very impressed with the laptop, very well built and still light. It was very easy to setup and there were no issues, coming from a 6yr old dell gen6 i7 chip this thing screams. Great screen if you’re into movies or gaming. My only gripe is that the RAM is soldered in and only config is 16mb that was being sold at the time. Still very fast and highly recommended. And by the way the battery life is great.

I got this laptop to replace my Dell which became noisy within a relatively short time after I bought it. This laptop is very light and very powerful. I really like this laptop and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a lightweight with great performance and long battery life laptop.
