HM65R

•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

The HM65R is hands-down the most high quality light that won’t break the bank. The biggest advantage it has is the flood and spot lights being able to operate independently and simultaneously. I currently run one on my helmet with a zebra floody below in their warmest light tone to make up for the o

Really like my Fenix HM65R v2. Did a lot of research before buying, although my main use case is trail running. Extremely solid, manageable size and weight, reputable brand, USB-C rechargeable and a nice usable and bright warm white LED plus a slightly brighter cool white when needed. Like all headt

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

What does your partner currently have? Fenix HM65R-T or HP12R-T are both highly rated. They use 18650 batteries that are rechargeable and swappable. The HP12 splits the battery and light so it's more balanced and you get a red light at the rear. Petzl Swift RL is good but has a proprietary battery.

Most torches except some high end ones are made in China these days anyway and shipped around the world. I can buy pretty much any torch suggested by the USA'ians and get it shipped to Scotland without any trouble, in fact some are available on amazon or from independent resellers. One brand you cou

I've been mostly using a Fenix HM65R-T v1 for several years and it's been great. I see other people have already mentioned it so I'll add another strong contender I swap between: Sofirn HS21: Easy controls, excellent coverage options, high output, a high lumen red-light, long run-times, and signific

I run with a Fenix HM65R-T head lamp. I love it, but then again I only do roads and easy trails at night. I’ve heard from multiple people that wearing a waist light is really beneficial when you’re on rocky/technical trails. I’m inclined to agree because the last time I ran a technical trail with on

This a great post - I do disagree with a few points: a) I don't think 150 lumens will be enough for a lot of people. For me, I prefer 300-400 lumens as a 54 year old guy who wears glasses. So I target a 5-6 hour runtime with one battery change during the night.b) I have the Fenix HM65R-T V2.0 and if

I used to run a Fenix HM65R. It is rechargeable, or you can run it with 2x CR123A batteries. Both flood and spot beams, each with independent brightness levels. Battery was never an issue to run all day. Magnesium housing saves on weight but is still rugged. Mine's been dropped multiple times and ha
