Fenix HM50R V2 700-Lumen Rechargeable Headlamp

The Fenix HM50R V2 is a rechargeable headlamp giving 700 lumens in black, with a headband and a 16340 battery included.

The 16340 is a short cell, and that is what keeps this headlamp compact and light on the forehead. Larger headlamps use 18650 cells and put noticeably more weight at the front of the head. Over a long night that weight is what makes a headlamp uncomfortable rather than the output.

Seven hundred lumens covers camp work, trail walking and repairs without the heat and runtime cost of a higher output lamp. The body detaches from the headband and works as a handheld, so it doubles as a pocket light rather than being tied to the head. Explore more headlamps and compact lights.
