Fenix HM50R V2.0 Rechargeable LED Head Torch

£62.94 £67.98

The Fenix HM50R V2.0 is an updated rechargeable head torch that offers a maximum output of 700 lumens from a Cree XP-G3 S4 LED.

As well as use on the head, it can also detach from the head band holder and be used hand held also for extra versatility and convenience.

The torch is powered by one 16340 lithium-ion rechargeable battery and included is the Fenix ARB-L16-700P lithium-ion battery, but it is also compatible with the other Fenix 16340 battery versions. It can also use a CR123A non rechargeable lithium metal battery as a back-up.

Recharging the HM50R V2.0 is easy with the included USB cable, just simply pop open the rubber dust cover on the side of the torch and insert the USB-C end of the cable, then plug the USB-A end straight into a USB power source. The indicator will glow red to show charging is in progress and go green once charging is complete after approximately 1 hour, 30 minutes.

The HM50R V2.0 features four white brightness levels and two red outputs that are accessed using a single switch on the side of the head torch. Hold the button for 0.5 to turn the light on in white mode and single presses of the side button will cycle through low, mid, high and turbo. To access the red mode double press the button from off and then each press will cycle between red and red flash.

Hold the button for 0.5 seconds in either mode to turn the light off. The last used brightness setting will be memorised and the torch will turn on in that setting the next time round.

The headband is comfortable and adjustable, has a silicone strip on the inside that channels sweat and rain away from the eyes and the new weaved design is hollow to not only reduce the weight by 30% but also provide more breathability and comfort. On the outer part of the headband there are reflective strips, which are excellent for enhanced visibility.

A single press of the button while off will activate the battery indicator LEDs and display the power level for 3 seconds. A solid green light indicates saturated, flashing green is sufficient, solid red is poor and flashing red is critical. The battery indicator also acts as a low voltage warning light while the torch is in use when using the included battery.

To prevent accidental activation the HM50R V2.0 has a lockout function. This can be accessed with the light turned off by holding down the button for 3 seconds until the white light comes on then the red light blinks four times. Unlock the light in the same way and it will turn back on in the red light.

Fenix HM50r head torch

This head torch was bought as a direct replacement for one I have had for a long time and has been brilliant but broke. The new replacement is disappointing in as far as the mounting to the strap is hard plastic and is uncomfortable against your head which is a very bad design. The old one was a soft rubber mount which is what it should be and worked well. Why would you change that?

Lightweight Head Torch

A great lightweight but bright head torch. Good that it unclips to use as a hand torch. Very pleased with it.

Fenix HM 61 RV2.0 - excellent service from Torch Direct

The Fenix HM62rV2.0 was delivered on time as advised.
It is an excellent torch with the features I require. My only comments for improvement would be :-

# Addition of a random strobe feature.
# Cap end magnet a little weak, but OK if on a flat ferrous surface covering the whole of the cap area.
# Magnetic charger easily knocked off - perhaps USB connection would be more secure and faster charging.
# I needed only the torch. I will never use the headgear, which ideally could be an optional extra.

Never the less the torch as it is is superb in design,quality and ease of use.
Torch Direct knowledgeable advice and friendly personal service was as usual excellent. I would never bother to deal with another supplier.

Speedy…….

Thank you very much for the help and patience from both Stewart and Meg. The items arrived so quickly - Christmas has come early.
The service at Torch Direct is first class.😊

Needed to be shown the light

Spoke at length with Stewart on getting the right product for me - Beam distance & Flood. Had to go over my budget but we managed to strike a happy deal & the FENIX LR40R is now on it way to me

The only area light you will ever need

I cannot speak highly enough of the Nitecore NWL20. One of the key features that places this above many others in the field is the replaceable battery. This means for example, that I now carry a spare battery in a battery case which increases the time the light will work up to around 16 hours. It was this particular feature that led me to buy 2. I have found the NWL rugged and reliable, with no indication that will change any time soon. A number if its positive features are shared by other area lights (the magnetic base, carabiner clip on handle, fully adjustable etc), but principally the ability to extend run time pays dividends and sets the NWL20 above the competition. Service from Torch Direct was, of course and as always, faultless.

Nitecore NWL20 Rechargeable LED Work Light
A slim and well made torch

The Olight i13 Plus penlight was a spur-of-the-moment purchase, seen when viewing the latest arrivals. It is a very well made torch, interesting to use - press the “on” button until it clicks and the light is dim. Press the button twice in rapid succession and the light is very bright, ensure that you have pressed until the click is heard. This way of turning on the light takes a bit of practice but is effective. The body of the torch is slender - it takes 2 AAA batteries - and has an attractive design over the body length, rather than a standard knurled finish. Mine has my initials laser etched into it. This is a useful torch for clipping inside a pocket.

David L.
Olight i3T Plus LED Penlight

Effective, efficient and value for money supplier, just a shame they rely on UPS as their delivery contractor as they are utterly unreliable and frustrating to deal with, failing three times to actually deliver my order despite informing me that they had actually tried when they hadn’t!

Another excellent product

Super company: reliable, great service and super communication throughout. I wouldn’t buy a torch from anywhere else.

Maglite ML300LX 2 D Cell LED Torch
Robust Torch

Nice chunky torch easy to handle even with gloves that has a good light spread. Ex rated is necessary at work and the engraving makes it clearly identifiable as mine. Not too hard on the batteries is always appreciated. Arrived quickly and was exactly as described. Can’t fault.

Unbelievably great torch

Fantastic quality led torch like all Maglites. Exceptional brightness. Very nice design and helpful attachment you can put on it to clip on pocket/belt if required.

Stephen G.
Maglite MAG-TAC Plain Bezel Rechargeable LED System
Simple and effective.

The best torch is the one you have with you when you need it. This is my second Mini-AAA (the first lives in the car). This torch is so light you can forget you are carrying it until it's needed. The switch mechanism is a simple twist, beam range is amazing, run time excellent. No multi-mode nonsense either.

Bought this lamp a few days ago. I am so happy with my purchase I bought two more as Christmas presents for two friends. Good buy, thank you.

Brilliant torch

Love the torch. A good size and lightweight too.
Brightness is amazing! And battery life is really impressive.
Having to remove the battery and charge the physical battery is odd, but it isn’t an issue. Very easy to do.
Overall a great torch! Very happy.

Jon T.
Fenix TK16 V2.0 LED Torch
Decent Weight to performance.

For the size and weight, this headlight delivers with very well-thought-out modes. I have the extra battery pack for back up, but on the whole I use the Headlamp as is. The second light setting I use the most and it lasts a good long time. The red is easy to use on the buttons, perfect for camping. The best yet for me, and I have plenty.

Nitecore NU43 Rechargeable LED Head Torch
Great torch for professional use

I knew that having a good torch was essential to my job but I didn't want to spend loads of money. This torch packs a punch and has a very handy clip that keeps it safe in my pocket when I'm leaning over railings and climbing ladders. The powerful beam helps me to identify leaks and other issues that an inferior torch wouldn't show up. I'm happy with the battery life. Despite working an 8-10 hour day, I only use the torch for a a couple of hours total
