The Fenix HL26R is a rechargeable head torch designed with trail running in mind, but is equally as good for hiking, camping, dog walking and many other activities where a lightweight head torch is preferred.
There is a choice of either spot or flood lighting. The central Cree XP-G2 R5 neutral white LED offers spot lighting with a maximum output of 450 lumens on burst, while the two side Nichia white LEDs offer flood lighting with a maximum output of 40 lumens on high.
Two independent switches are located on the top of the head torch for easy operation. The right hand spot button turns the central LED on by holding the switch for 0.5 seconds and then each press after that will cycle through low, mid and high. The left hand flood button turns the side LEDs on by holding the switch for 0.5 seconds and then each press after that will cycle through low, high and SOS. Both spot and flood are turned off by pressing and holding the corresponding button again.
Burst mode is activated in any setting by holding the spot button for 1.2 seconds. Due to the overheat protection the lamp will only stay in burst mode for 1 minute before returning to the previously used setting.
Apart from being lightweight, the HL26R has a number of other features that make it great for running. The headband is comfortable and adjustable, but it also has a silicone strip on the inside that channels sweat and rain away from the eyes. On the outer part of the headband there are reflective strips, which are excellent for enhanced visibility.
A 100° wide angle beam in flood mode allows you to clearly see your path and around you and is great for readin any signposts without blinding yourself, while the spot beam is ideal for long distance vision so you can clearly see where you are heading. The direction of the light can be altered with the hinged bracket that allows the torch to tilt forwards at a 60° angle.
The HL26R is powered by a built-in 1600 mAh lithium polymer battery and recharging is easy with the included USB cable. Simply pop open the rubber dust cover on the bottom of the torch and insert the micro USB end of the cable, then plug the USB end straight into a computer USB port, or into a USB mains/car adaptor (sold separately).
A single press of the flood button while off will activate the battery indicator LEDs and display the power level for 3 seconds. Four LEDs indicates +80% power, three LEDs indicates 60-80% power, two LEDs indicates 40-60% power, one LED indicates 20-40% power and one flashing LED indicates less than 20% remaining, charge the headlamp as soon as possible.
