Fenix HM65R-T Running Headlamp, 1500 Lumen Spot & Flood Light USB-C Rechargeable Lightweight for Trail Running, with LumenTac Organizer

I use it 4-5 times a week for about 2 hours at a time at work. Sometimes more if I forget to turn it off after completing a task. Hasn't failed me once. Generally charge it over the weekend and the battery life is enough. Medium floodlight is usually what I like to use. I like the boa system on it. Better than stretchy headbands I've had before. I've had this one almost 4 years now. I've never changed the battery it shipped with. Just recharge it with the on board charger. Lightweight and great light output. I work in aviation. If I lost this one, I'd buy it again over any of the other brands I've seen.

The quality I have come to expect from Fenix. Very lightweight and super bright.

I bought this for my husband when he runs in the early morning and he loves it! You can adjust the lighting and it shines bright. He has also used it for house projects and it works just fine for that as well.

I owned Fenix HL60R Headlamp for 3+ years and loved it for the price/brightness/run time/use of rechargeable batteries you couldn’t beat it. Well after 3 years of beating the hell out of that headlamp a small crack formed on the plastic piece that holds the light to the strap….(tbh the thing still works beautifully and use it as a back up every now and then)Then I was cruising Amazon to see if Fenix had released any new head lamps, I’ve seen the last couple they released but tbh they didn’t catch my eye. But then I saw the Fenix HM65R-T & it looked like everything my first Fenix was missing had been added/fixed.——PROS——1.Brighter lumens2.lighter3.Duel lamps (one wide warmer tone/one cooler tone spot4.Got rid of the 3rd strap and introduced a ratchet tightening system (which works great)5.Wider more comfy strap6. Have a battery indicator that a normal human can read & not memorize a sequence of flashing red/white lights7. Last but certainly not least uses a type-C to charge. About 45-1 hr for a full change !!!——CONS—-No res light other then that flawless***All In all Fenix headlamps have served me well and trust me when I say I’ve put them they there paces! But if your looking for a good headlamp I would say pull the trigger on this one!!!

Edited after months of use:I still use this headlamp several times a week after work for trail running. It has worked flawlessly in any temperature even as low as -15F and rain and snow etc.My original comment about the metal flap over the buttons was somewhat short-sighted. It is annoying in that you have to tilt it down to access the buttons, but it also protects the buttons against accidentally turning on in my bag.The one thing I would like to see is the metal part that holds the strap across your forehead likes to slip down over time when running. It looks like a separate piece that could be made of a more flexible plastic with non-slip rubber coating to make it less prone to slipping and maybe a bit more comfortable?This light will throw more light than you will probably ever need trail running. I ran in the Grand canyon and went rim to rim to rim and that was the only place I was hoping for more so I could see down to the bottom, which is totally unrealistic.Overall I still think it is a great headlamp and I'll use it until it dies and probably replace it with the same.End edit!I like this headlamp. I bought it for night running and outdoor activities. I find the lowest 5 lumen flood setting to be almost useless for doing anything outdoors. I guess it could be used for reading in a tent or something similar. I'd prefer maybe 20 lumen and less battery life on flood.I noticed it can be turned on while charging, although only on a low setting. Not sure you'd get a cable in the charging port while wearing it regardless, but it's possible.Being able to use both lights at once independently is great, although I don't think it's practical as one seems to wash out the other.The headband is nice, using a cable adjuster is a neat idea for a headlamp, and very convenient. Perhaps if you have thick mittens on you might have to take them off to adjust it, but not a big deal. It does open up for fairly good sized heads, I hope people realize that you have to pull the big button out to unlock the cable and stretch it to it's full length, then click it back down to be able to tighten it back up.The metal shroud that extends over the buttons is annoying, you have to ratchet it down a click to use the buttons if you have it completely closed. I suppose I could Dremel it off, save some weight. Maybe it prevents accidental button pushes.It seems big and bulky from the pictures. It feels bulky in my big hands, but it feels very lightweight. It did not bounce at all on my head. I have top of the line Petzl's and Black Diamond and it's at least as comfortable as anything they have. Petzl's seem to bounce a little bit as their all in one unit is a bit heavier than this. I was worried about the length of the unit across the top, it is pretty wide. I bet they could have shaved a bit off by using thinner battery end caps. Being all metal and not plastic I bet it's pretty durable.The graphics on the band are reflective, a nice little touch. The battery LED's are a nice touch, displaying 4 levels. The band is thin, yet wide and comfortable. I plan to buy another battery or two, you can never have too much light or backup power.For the price (I paid $99) this is a great investment over cheaper headlamps. I can't imagine needing more lumens when running or hiking or doing something at night unless you are biking and need more throw ahead of you. Of course it's always nice to have more light and more battery life, but for the price this is a great unit.Edited: after looking for another battery, I realize that the Fenix 3500 batteries are about 26 dollars, so you save about 8 dollars by buying the one that comes with 2 batteries.

I wish I would have found this headlamp before buying so many others! It's very comfortable and light for the power it puts out. Sometime I forget that I even have it on. The battery life is excellent and I like the fact that you can charge it "USB C" without having to remove the battery.One strange thing is that when I attempted to change the battery out with another Fenix battery or other 18650 battery the light would not work. Now I just make sure to charge it after each use. The only other gripe is that there is no way to completely remove the headband to wash it separately from the light. As such I'm left washing the band by hand.Overall it's an awesome headlamp! Plenty of beam adjustment options and lights up everything in front of you. The light does not bleed down into your eyes and it's very adjustable based on your head angles. I mainly use this for work when I need my hands free and plenty of light. I imagine this would also fit perfectly over a hardhat as well.

Super, super bright. Comfortable and strong. Bought another one for my Dad and he absolutely loves it.
