Fenix HL32R Rechargeable LED Head Torch

The Fenix HL32R is a lightweight and rechargeable head torch that is good for running, hiking, camping, dog walking and many other activities where a lightweight head torch is preferred.

The Cree XP-G3 neutral white LED offers a maximum output of 600 lumens on burst as well as constant turbo, high, mid, low and eco brightness levels. There is also a red LED that offers 1 lumen of constant red light or a flashing red light and a red SOS.

Two independent switches are located on the top of the head torch for easy operation. The left hand general button turns the white LED on in eco setting by holding the switch for 0.5 seconds and then each press after that will cycle through the modes. The right hand functional button turns the red LED on in constant red setting by holding the switch for 0.5 seconds and then each press after that will cycle through the modes. Press and hold the button again to turn the torch off when is either mode.

With the light already on the mode can be changed between red and white by pressing the opposite button to the mode you are currently in. The 600 lumen burst mode can be activated in any status by holding any button down for 1.2 seconds. The light will stay in burst mode for 1 minute. The HL32R has a lockout mode to prevent accidental activation which can be accessed by holding down any button for 3 seconds.

Apart from being lightweight, the HL32R has a number of other features that make it great for running or hiking. 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.

The combination beam has a central hotspot with a 20° angle allowing the beam to reach a maximum of 73 metres and a wide spill beam angle of 85° so that you can still see through your peripheral vision easily. The direction of the light can be altered with the hinged bracket that allows the torch to tilt forwards at a 60° angle.

The HL32R is powered by a built-in 2000 mAh lithium polymer battery that is recharged using the included micro USB cable. Simply pop open the rubber dust cover on the back right hand side of the head 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.

LED indicators show remaining battery power so you know when the battery needs charging.
