FENIX HM65R - rechargeable headlamp

The Fenix HM65R rechargeable headlamp features a lightweight magnesium alloy construction, high water and drop resistance, a unique dual reflector design and a total output of up to 1400 lumens. One reflector produces a well-focused light beam with a range of up to 163 meters, and the second reflector has a very wide and smooth light path.

The main beam reflector's lumen output is up to 1000 lumens, the wide cone reflector offers a maximum output of 400 lumens and a neutral light tint. The control of the two LEDs is independent of each other, and the light from the two reflectors can be freely combined to achieve a luminous flux of up to 1400 lumens.

The main reflector offers four light levels and the wide reflector three modes. It uses a single 18650 Li-ion battery with a capacity of 3500 mAh for power, which is included in the package and is charged via a modern USB-C connector directly in the headlamp. In an emergency, the headlamp can be powered by two disposable CR123A batteries.

The headlamp is made of magnesium alloy, which is one-third lighter than aluminum. Its design is fully dustproof and waterproof to 2 meters depth according to IP68 standard, and also shockproof to drops from 2 meters height. The headlamp is also equipped with an extended endurance function. With prolonged use of each light mode, the headlamp gradually reduces power in small increments to achieve longer light duration.

The selectable shape of the light cone makes this model one of the best and most versatile rechargeable headlamps on the market. The headlamp is suitable for professional use, various sports activities (hiking, camping, running, cycling, skiing...), underground, fishing and other uses. Guaranteed to serve you well in any situation!

All headlamp parameters (lumen output, battery life, waterproof, range and shockproof) are measured in accordance with ANSI/NEMA FL 1-2009.

Package contents: headlamp, Fenix 18650 3400 mAh Li-ion battery, head straps, USB-C charging cable, replacement o-ring.

Warranty: five years on the headlamp and two years on the battery pack.

Using the Fenix HM65R Headlamp
There may be a black insulating cap on the battery pack from the factory. Remove it from the battery before first use. The main reflector is switched on by holding the right button (approx. 0.5s), the wide reflector is switched on by holding the left button (0.5s). The light functions are switched by briefly pressing the corresponding button. After switching off, the headlamp remembers the last set mode. Both headlights can be switched on at the same time.
Battery indication - After a short press of any button (the headlamp must be switched off) the LED battery indicator between the buttons is activated. Four lit LEDs indicate that the battery is charged to more than 80%, three lit 60-80%, two lit 40-60%, one lit 20-40% and one flashing LED indicates that the battery is charged to less than 20%.
The control buttons can be locked to prevent spontaneous switching on, e.g. when transporting in luggage - in the off state press both buttons and hold them for min 3 seconds, then the headlamp will flash to indicate locking. To unlock, both buttons must again be held for three seconds.
Low battery warning - when the voltage drops below a certain threshold, it automatically switches to a lower power mode, if the battery indicator starts flashing during the light, the battery is almost dead.

Charging:
Unclip the USB-C connector cap and plug in the included charging cable, plug the other end of the cable into a computer, powerbank or USB mains or car adapter (not included). During charging, status LEDs show the charging progress. When charging is complete, all four are lit. It takes approximately 2.5 hours to charge a fully discharged battery.

Caution
Do not disassemble the sealed parts yourself, it will violate the warranty.
Use only high quality Li-ion 18650 batteries, if using disposable CR123A batteries, do not try to charge them in the headlamp.
If the headlamp blinks, does not switch to higher power modes or does not light up, it may be due to one of the following reasons:
The battery is dead - charge it or replace it.
The contacts inside the headlamp are dirty - clean them with a cotton swab dipped in alcohol.
