•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.

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

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

Check out also Fenix HM55R which is a bit smaller than HM65R. Not many reviews yet, because it's relatively new. From the 3 you listed, I'd go with HM65R, but if you don't need one to go over full night with one battery, I would consider HM55R. Edit: I didn't see before that two have already debated

alternatives to generators that don't make camp sound like a construction site?
What type of janky headlamp do you have that only lasts a few days? I do long multi-week backcountry canoe trips and my headlamp (Fenix HM65R) will easily last for 3 weeks of daily use.

Headlamp recommendations for technical night trail training
I have a Fenix HM65R-T that I picked up when I ran Pinhoti and it was great, tons of light with spot and flood options, also warm vs cool light, I think the warm light makes it easier to see the rocks and roots. Has a rechargeable battery that’s easy to switch out (and lasts a long time). The only c

Fenix lights for caving
I'm moderately new and have been very happy with a Fenix HM65R as my main light and Sofrin H25S's as my backups. They aren't the absolute best on the market, but this has been my experience:Pros:- all are USB-C rechargeable and use 18650s- I've never had my Fenix die on me (or even get below half -

Best headlamp?
I bought one of these a while back... love it! https://fenix-store.com/collections/headlamp-series/products/fenix-hm65r-rechargeable-headlamp-1400-lumens A headlamp is a daily thing for me... often hours a day. The HM65R has the nicest flood I've ever seen, and comfortable strap. Mine is below... no

6+ hour headlamp
I use a Fenix HM65R-T on my callouts and it lasts ages, very bright, has a lock facility. I do carry a spare battery as well, just in case. Only downside of it is the band doesn't go round my Kask helmet, so I have my team issue Fenix headtorch (not sure which model) on there all the time, for the o
