A Luminus SST40 white light LED and a OSRAM GW PUSTA1.PM warm white light LED; with a lifespan of 50,000 hours each.

What is the color temperature of HM65R-T V2.0?

The color temperature of white light is around 6500K, the color temperature of warm white light is around 3000K.

What is the operating voltage of HM65R-T V2.0?

The operating voltage is 2.7V~8.4V. The operating current is 12mA~5000mA.

Is HM65R-T V2.0 rechargeable? How long is the charging time?

The included 3400mAh is rechargeable. Uncover the anti-dust cap and plug the USB Type-C side of the charging cable into the charging port of the lamp to charge the battery. The charging time of the included Fenix ARB-L18-3400 is about 3 hours from depleted to fully charged with a 5V/2A charging adapter.

How to prevent accidentally activate the HM65R-T V2.0?

Lock: With the lamp switched off, simultaneously press and hold the two switches for 3 seconds, the lamp will blink 4 times on the Eco output of warm white light
mode to indicate locked status.

Unlock: With the lamp locked, simultaneously press the two switches for 3 seconds, the lamp will be activated with 4 blinks and activates on the Eco output of warm
white light mode. In locked status, clicking or pressing the switches will activate 4 blinks on the Eco output of warm white light mode to indicate locked status. *When the charging cable is plugged in, the lamp unlocks automatically in switched-off status. The Low output of white light mode and warm white light mode can be operated while charging.

Why does the HM65R-T V2.0 downshift to a lower mode after being used for a while and the higher mode cannot be selected?

There are two reasons:
1. Intelligent Overheat Protection
The lamp will accumulate a lot of heat when used at relatively high output levels for extended periods. When the lamp reaches a temperature of 60°C or above, the lamp will automatically step down a few lumens to reduce the temperature.

2. Low-voltage Warning
When the voltage level drops below the preset level, the headlamp is programmed to downshift to a lower brightness level until Eco output is reached.

What kind of battery can be used in HM65R-T V2.0?

A: Fenix ARB-L18-3400 battery is recommended. Compatible with 2 x CR123A batteries. Other Li-ion batteries are not recommended. As High output fail to
headlamp up due to current and voltage limitation, an unmatched battery may cause the headlamp to fail to work normally.

Battery Specifications

  • Fenix ARB-L18 Series (18650, 3.6V): Recommended
  • Fenix ARB-L16 Series (16340, 3.6V): Usable
  • Non-rechargeable Battery (CR123A, 3.0V): Usable
  • Other Rechargeable Battery, Li-ion (18650, 3.6V): Caution

18650 Li-ion batteries are powerful cells designed for commercial applications and must be treated with caution and handled with care. Only quality batteries with circuit protection will reduce the potential for combustion or explosion; cell damage or short circuiting are potential risks the user assumes. A Fenix ARB-L18 Series battery is recommended.

Battery Replacement

Unscrew the battery cover counterclockwise to insert the battery with the anode side (+) toward the inner side, then screw the battery cover back on.

Intelligent Overheat Protection

The lamp will accumulate a lot of heat when used at high output levels for extended periods. When the lamp reaches a temperature of 60°C/140°F or above, it will automatically step down a few lumens to reduce the temperature. When the temperature drops below 60°C/140°F, the lamp will gradually recall the preset output level.

Low-Voltage Warning

When the voltage level drops below the preset level, the headlamp is programmed to downshift to a lower brightness level until Eco output is reached. When this happens in Eco output, one of the battery level indicators blinks to remind you to recharge or replace the battery until the battery runs out. Note: this only works with a Fenix ARB-L18 Series battery.

Headband Assembly

The headband is factory assembled by default. Rotate the dial clockwise to tighten the headband, and rotate the dial counterclockwise to loosen it. When the headband hits its maximum length, keep loosening it and the operation direction will reverse.

Usage and Maintenance

  • Disassembling the sealed head can cause damage to the lamp and will void the warranty.
  • Fenix recommends using an excellent quality battery.
  • If the lamp will not be used for an extended period, remove the battery, or the lamp could be damaged by electrolyte leakage.
  • Turn off and lock the lamp or take out the battery to prevent accidental activation during storage or transportation.
  • Long-term use can result in O-ring wear. To maintain a proper water seal, replace the O-ring with an approved spare.
  • Periodic cleaning of the battery contacts improves the lamp's performance: A) The lamp is locked — simultaneously press and hold the two switches for 3 seconds to unlock. B) Poor battery level — recharge or replace. C) Dirty contacts — clean with a cotton swab soaked in rubbing alcohol. If the above methods don't work, contact the distributor.

Reviews

Great Headlamp

"Great headlamp! Originally concerned that the headlamp would slip or bounce, but neither concern was an issue. The headlamp is pretty light and being able to fine tune the fit so easily makes for secure and comfortable fit. Both the incandescent and led lights are bright. Having the two types make it great for different situations. Overall very happy with this purchase!"

Robert S. (5/5)

Great headlamp! Small and compact

"Great headlamp! Small and compact and as bright as you will need in a headlamp."

MATT B. (5/5)

Can't replace the headband

"I purchased the first version over a year ago. It is my favorite headlamp. Unfortunately the headband stretched to the point that I couldn't use it anymore. I purchased a new headband for $22 shipped only to find out the headband isn't replaceable? I modified (cut a slit in the plastic) in the light bracket to accept the new band. That worked for about 2 weeks until the bracket broke. I'm a bit aggravated, its a solid light, but whats the use if I can't replace a damaged headband? Judging by the images given for the V2, it has the same problem. I don't want or need to purchase a new light in the first place, but I'm not willing to deal with the same issue twice."

Jason (3/5)

Absolutely the brightest best working

"Absolutely the brightest best working headlamp I’ve used. The lock feature is amazing, it allows you to store headlamp in backpack without it turning on and draining battery. It has excellent battery life as well!"

Donald S. (5/5)

V2 is disappointing

"I’m not sure who the V2 is targeted towards…why would someone want an additional color of the same output/spill? I shopped for a while to find a replacement for my original but ultimately decided to try the V2. It was returned after 2 days. Just doesn't offer the same value the original did. The spot and flood combo is what made the original invaluable, and they took that away. No, the V2 combo is not a sufficient replacement. Don’t waste your time/money. Why do companies feel the need to mess with a good thing? Also, I won’t be buying from the Fenix store again. They hosed me on my return refund. I’ll get through Amazon or a reputable vendor if I ever buy Fenix again (unlikely). Disappointing."

Jeremy R. (2/5)

Soft Light Love

"It is hard to look at white light for 8 hours or more. Heck looking at it for just a couple hours is tough. White light has its place but the soft light is really all you need for most areas of trail on an overnight ultra run. It's just so nice to have the soft light with multiple brightness levels. The highest level on the soft light is very bright and way more than enough on trail. I use the medium settings most of the time. I run highly technical terrain and trails. This light is fantastic if your sick of looking at that eye hurting white light for hours. I love it!"

Noah P. (5/5)

Awesome Headlamp!

"Fits comfortably, shines bright and lasts a loooong time on one charge. Super happy work it!"

Evencio R. (5/5)

Basically perfect. Maybe a tad heavy.

"I use this for road and trail running as my primary light, and also use it for hiking. It's basically perfect except for being a smidge heavy. Never an issue with battery life, not enough light, or shorting from water or rough use."

Patrick (5/5)

Great product; highly recommend it.

"Great product; highly recommend it. It met all my expectations."

Miguel S. (5/5)

Fantastic Light

"I purchased this headlamp a year ago and use in on my helmet for mountain biking with an extra Velcro strap, and also for hikes, camping, and home improvement projects. The headlamp is very bright and lightweight. I also appreciate being able to carry a spare battery on longer rides."
