It seems the headlamp market is flooded with a lot of equal performers. We have to say, the new Fenix HM65R Headlamp has pulled away from the pack. Fenix continually produces high-quality products made of aircraft-grade aluminum with LEDs to hit some pretty high lumens. The 1400-Lumen maximum output of the HM60R as well as the new magnesium alloy body are features that make you step back and say, “Wow!”
You may be thinking you have no need for a 1400-Lumen headlamp. First, everyone needs a headlamp; once you get one, you will wonder how you ever functioned without one. Yes, 1400 is overkill for most uses, but the Fenix HM65R Reachargeable Headlamp has the capability to drop to 8 Lumens and operate for 300 hours! Think about those times when you lose power. Those times when you need to light up your surroundings–then the HM65R is there for you. The versatility is everything you would expect. You have the Low Mode which operates at 8 Lumens for 300 hours; then you have the top Lumen output of 1000 Lumens for 2 hours. In those times where you want to reach the full 1400 Lumens, you would activate two modes simultaneously. The Fenix HM65R covers the whole spectrum of your visibility needs.
