Thursday, June 13, 2019

Fenix introduces two brand-new head torches: the HL18R and HM23. Powerful, water and shockproof head torches that were both designed for outdoor activities. With which torch will you embark upon new adventures?

Fenix HL18R rechargeable head torch

The Fenix HL18R head torch has a wide and focused light beam and is ideal for camping, hiking and night fishing purposes. This head torch has a maximum light output of 400 lumens and a battery life of 150 hours. The HL18R works with the included USB-rechargeable 1300mAg Li-Polymer battery or with three AAA-Ni/MH/alkaline batteries. It makes this head torch perfect for multi-day adventures.

On top of the light you have two switches which you can use to select the desired light beam. You can select the right amount of light for each outdoor activity: four light modes in the focused mode and two light modes in the wide beam. The focused mode is practical when you want to highlight a specific object or place. With a wide beam you spread the light over a larger surface and are left with a less intense light beam.

The HL18R stays in place thanks to the included headband with anti-slip function. If you end up in the water with the torch that wouldn't be a problem at all: the light is water and dustproof according to the IP66-norm. Because of its low weight (only 80 grams including the headband and battery) this will be the perfect light for your outdoor adventures.
