Fenix HT18R V2.0 is a premium hunting and tactical torch designed for professionals who demand maximum range and reliability in demanding conditions. Thanks to the powerful Luminus SFT-90 LED and a large smooth reflector, the beam reaches up to 1100 metres, making it one of the most powerful torches in the entire range.

The torch delivers up to 3700 lumens and offers a total of seven lighting modes – including three flashing modes – with a runtime of up to 87 hours on a single charge. Its robust aerospace-grade hardened aluminium construction, IP68 water resistance and compatibility with a wide range of weapon mounts make it ideal for hunting, tactical operations and demanding outdoor use.

Package contents: torch, ARB-L21-6000 rechargeable battery, USB-C charging cable, wrist lanyard, belt holster and spare O-ring

Warranty: five years for the torch, two years for the battery.

1. Record beam distance with intelligent power management
   The large smooth reflector with an intensity of 268,000 cd provides a beam distance of up to 1100 metres, while the electronics with digital constant-current regulation maintain stable brightness throughout operation. Intelligent overheat protection automatically reduces output when the temperature exceeds 60 °C, protecting both the torch and the battery from damage.
2. Tactical dual switch for instant response
   The side dual switch enables instant momentary-on with a half-press, direct access to Turbo by holding the tactical switch for 0.5 seconds, and immediate activation of strobe from the off state, so the torch is always ready for rapid action exactly when you need it.

Operating the Fenix HT18R V2.0 hunting torch
From the factory, the battery may have an insulating cap. Remove it before first use.
On/off and switching modes - half-press the round tactical switch for momentary-on; when released, the torch turns off. Fully press the tactical switch to turn the torch on continuously. When the torch is on, press the rectangular function switch to cycle through output levels. Hold the function switch for 0.5 seconds to activate flashing modes.
Instant Strobe - from the off state, press and hold the rectangular function switch; when released, the torch turns off.
Instant Turbo mode - from any state (on/off), hold the round tactical switch for 0.5 seconds. When released, the torch returns to the previously used output. If it was off, it will turn off after release.
Lockout function - press and hold both switches simultaneously for 3 seconds. When locked, the torch flashes twice. When unlocked, it turns on in the last used constant lighting mode.
Last used output mode memory - the torch remembers the last used output mode except for flashing modes. Next time it is switched on, it activates in the last used constant lighting mode.
Charging- slide the charging port cover on the side of the torch and connect the USB-C charging cable to the charging port. After charging is complete, slide the cover back. During charging, the indicator lights red; when fully charged, it lights green. The torch cannot be used while charging. Typical charging time for a fully depleted ARB-L21-6000 battery is approximately 1.5 hours when using a 9 V / 3 A USB power source, or 2.5 hours when using a 5 V / 3 A source.
Battery charge level indication - each time the torch is switched on, the indicator LED activates for three seconds. If the indicator LED lights green, the battery is charged to more than 85%. Flashing green means 50–85% capacity. If it lights red, it is charged to 25–50%. Flashing red indicates less than 25% battery capacity remaining.
Intelligent overheat protection - if the torch temperature exceeds 60 °C, the output will be reduced automatically. Once the temperature drops below 60 °C, the output will gradually increase again.
Low-battery warning - if the voltage drops below a preset level, the torch will reduce brightness to a lower level. After reaching the lowest output, the battery status indicator will flash red to remind you to recharge or replace the battery.

Warning
Use only high-quality rechargeable 21700 Li-ion batteries with protective electronics.
Insert the battery with the positive terminal towards the head of the torch.
If the protective rubber rings appear damaged after extended use, replace them. The rings also need to be lubricated to prevent rubber erosion. Following these rules will ensure the torch remains properly protected against water.
If the torch flashes, does not switch to higher output modes, or does not turn on, it may be due to one of the following reasons:
- The battery is almost depleted – recharge or replace it.
- The contacts inside the torch are dirty – clean them with a cotton swab dipped in alcohol.
- The head, body or tail of the torch is loose – tighten them.
