ruuning headlamp

Fenix HM65R-T V2.0 is absolutely awesome. You take extra Battery with you and you have super bright light all night long. I have it, wouldn't change for anything else. There is only one thing that I'm considering negative. It's a bit front heavy. After wearing it 2 nights in a row I developed small

Head torch on jobs

Fenix HM65R is what I use great battery life USB C fantastic light quality only thing that would make it top tier would be a magnetic strap or piece so you can stick it to something if you don't want to wear it.

Head Lamps, Waist Light or Other Recommendations

Snap. I have a Fenix HM65R-T for the head and a Ultraspire 600 for the waist and they both throw out the right amount of light for me to comfortably run technical trails in the dark.

Headlamp recommendations for technical night trail training

Fenix HM65R-T version 1. I have tested both version 1 and 2 and there are significant differences between them. It's been while ago but if I'm correct, version 2 has two lights but the light bream is the same when version 1 has narrow and wife beams for better flexibility. I used it in 100K UTMB Ver

What’s the go to Headlamp?

I’ve had one of these for well over a year now... IMHO, best headlamp I’ve ever had: https://fenix-store.com/collections/headlamps-hm-series/products/fenix-hm65r-rechargeable-headlamp-1400-lumens It features a buttery smooth ‘flood’ mode & is comfortable. It’s rechargeable, has good battery life, an

I haven't been around long enough to have caved with a carbide lamp. Switching to battery must have felt like the end of an era.

It seems like a lot of the older cavers I know prefer the scurion. Is it cause of the temperature of the colour? It's warmer than my Fenix HM65R.

Best Ultramarathon Lighting System 2026

The Fenix only does 160 lumens for 10.5 hours and drops to 50 lumens https://zeroair.org/2021/05/26/fenix-hm65r-t-headlamp-review You can't put it on your waist either. I run with two Nitecore HA11 and HA15, both 1xAA and one can be put on your head and one put on your waist, with 2 spare batteries

Headlamp for 100M (12 hours in the darkness)

The Fenix HM65R-T V2.0 is kind of like the Salomon Adv Skin 12 of headlamps for long ultras. There are a whole bunch of reviews of this headlamp out there, so take a look.

new running headlamp

Out of your three I’d pick the Fenix HM65R-T. For several reasons: I’m a huge fan of the 18650 rechargeable battery platform, it comes in some cool colors, it can also use the CR123 primary batteries and it has a built in charger. The other two do not have these things so for me it would be a pass o
