Fenix HM70R 1600 Lumen USB-C Rechargeable Headlamp with White, High CRI and Red Beams and Lumentac Organizer

I metal detect, so the red light is sweet. I was afraid the 5 lumens of red wasn't going to be as efficient as it is. I was gladly wrong on my behalf. I juggled the HM65R model and the HM71R. I seen to many burnt bults/lenses on the 71R, figured I didn't need that bright of a light. I travel so the 3 second hold to turn the light on is absolutely perfect. I'm not afraid it's going to turn on by itself as compared to the 0.3 second such as the HM71R model. People had issues with it burning fabrics and car seats etc. I was really stuck on the HM65R model, but studied the reviews and YouTube and found out it had a smaller battery. But boasts it has double the efficiency on battery consumption such as a governor to lock the volt draw. I found it doesn't last half the time frame and stuck the the 3rd most purchased unit on their page. The first 10 mins while making this review in the absolute dark on the low mode in general. I will say the top band strap for the head could be worked on. I noticed they made a turning adjustable snow board boot binding almost style head band on another model that is highly sought for due to how light it is, and that factor. I would love to get a turn tighting/loosing style band. If they ever make a head band that's universal for their products as such. I will gladly buy it instantly!! It seems you can take the top strap portion off, could be wrong in the dark still in my hotel room haha. If its sewn on, it could cause a slippage even with the silicone strap. I had that issue with another product. Never stayed on tight enough, when walking it flop down in my face. But this feels actually snug and comfortable. I've worn 3 light zooming optical forms of headlamps with battery packs in the back of the head band for many years as a mechanic/boat mechanic. This is the cats a$$ for a head light. The red light is gonna keep me a bit more discreet at the local parks as dusk falls around 6:30pm now. It's a bummer to end a good day at 6pm-6:40pm and have hours to sit at home. 2 meters water proof will be great in heavy rain to never fret about it being funky down the line. Came with an extra seal for battery area which is very nice! So far, im super happy. Hope this last for many years to come. I don't feel any heat whatsoever 10+ mins deep wearing it in a 70°F hotel room. I work construction and fly for work. So I will keep the updates as I will use it religiously (6 if not 7 days a week)

Best product to buy worth for money

I have an older version of this light that I love, but I like this one even better. USB-C charging, brighter light, and flood and spot instead of just a general use spot beam are all nice improvements, but the red light may be the biggest one. In the older version the red light mode was almost unusable because it was too dim. This one is actually bright enough for you to move around and do basic tasks with. It's nice for hunting or anytime you need just a little light but don't want to ruin your night vision. I guess I shouldn't understate how great the flood settings are. It is fantastic for any work, or general close up lighting needs. Very bright uniform light, with a very natural color temperature. The switch is large and easy to press, but won't get pressed accidentally. You hold to turn on spot mode, and then click through settings on it, then hold to turn off. You double tap to turn on the red and flood mode, and click through its settings the same way. You hold again to turn off. I was recently trying to help a buddy run a 100K by pacing him at night, and used the light on a lower flood setting all night long. The battery life is pretty insane, possibly because of the 5000mAh 21700 battery with protection circuit that is included with the light. I was glad to have it. As a light junkie, I highly recommend these lights, and look forward to seeing what they make in the future. If something happened to this light I would order another one immediately. I use it all the time, and absolutely recommend it.

Well designed and something I use all the time. It is useful in a multitude of situations. The light is extremely bright, and the battery life is fantastic. I have thrown it around, and it has fallen off my head several times, but it continues to work well. The threads for the battery compartment are buttery smooth (I thought this was very impressive). It is a bit expensive, but if you need a bright, reliable headlamp, this is the one I'd go for. The top strap is a lifesaver, and I wouldn't have a headlamp without it. The top strap negates any issues you might have with the weight of the lamp. Overall, great product!

Quality product, easy to charge, happy with the lighting options. It is a bit on the heavier side but the head strap provided allows me to carry it well. I recommend it.
