Reviews of the HM65R Headlamp
“I purchased this after purchasing one of your flashlights prior. I was so happy with that light and its quality. I was confident about buying this as well. Very nice light. Fits comfortably on your head, has an excellent lighted area and the beam can be adjusted to fit your lighting needs. I am very pleased with how this fits and how nice the light’s beam is. The lighted area is very consistent and not brighter in one spot like some lesser lights. I’m going to highly recommend this one for sure.”

“WOW, maybe TOO much light!”
— Brian G.
“I really appreciate the capability to select combinations of flood and spotlighting and different intensities to accommodate various conditions (fog, rain, snow, etc.) and activities ( stationary work or fast-paced travel). The battery life is excellent and the build quality is top-notch along with the selection of materials. The top head strap doesn’t add much bulk but adds a great deal of stability when moving fast over rough terrain. All-in-all my favorite headlamp – this one has it all in a nice compact package.”
