Product Overview

The HL18R is a compact USB rechargeable headlamp with extreme versatility. It features two separate beam options (spot and flood), six different lighting levels (plus SOS), and allows you the unique ability to use multiple options to power the headlamp. The simple operating system can quickly get you into utilizing the soft neutral beam that magnifies natural colors with a simple click of the button. The headlamp can blast a max output of 400 lumens and reach runtimes of up to 150 hours. If you find yourself in a situation when you can’t recharge the included 1300mAh battery, then you can simply pop-in three of your favorite AAA batteries to operate the light.
All of this is built into a ultra-light 2.8 ounce (80 gram) body being held in place by a remarkably comfortable headband with reflective strips and anti-slip design. This headlamp is the answer for your trainings in the early morning and late evening when the day needs extended; when chasing the fire flies won’t wait; or when that tent needs to be put up before your head can lay down. Count on the versatile design of the Fenix HL18R to be there for you.

Overheat Protection

The light will accumulate a lot of heat when used on Turbo output level for extended periods. The light will automatically step down by a few lumens to reduce temperature.

 

Headband Assembly

Notice: The headband is factory assembled by default. 

 

Step 1: Attach the headband to the headlamp as shown (Pic 1), by first sliding the band down to the bottom of the slots. Then hook the top edge under the top slot. 

 

Step 2: Adjust the headband by sliding the buckle to required length.

 

Usage and Maintenance

  • Disassembling the sealed head can cause damage to the headlamp and will void the warranty.
  • Fenix strongly recommends using quality rechargeable Ni-MH batteries.  Alkaline batteries will shorten the runtime with the lamp switched on high output.

HL18R review

Works well and light weight. Great for camping. I wouldn't use it for trails at night as it is not as bright as I thought it would be. Rechargable battery does not last as described. Got it in one of their bundle sale deals and probably would not recommend buying it at 50+$ as my energizer wallyworld el-cheapo does everything this one does at 10$ and has a red light option.

If the battery was not holding a charge as expected, I would contact our warranty department to discuss with them. They can be reached at 888-775-9996 ext 1. or via email at warranty@fenixlighting.com

Good light. Like the color temp. Unfortunately they sent the wrong product the first time around and it was lost during transit before being delivered late to the persons birthday whom I bought it for.

Works fine except I don't know how they got the battery life ratings so wrong. At max setting, it definitely doesn't last 8.5 hrs on the included battery. Maybe 3-4 hours. Kind of annoying because I bought it specifically for the long rated battery life.

I love the yellow white spotlight! It's easy for your eyes to read.

I am very disappointed in this headlight. It did not meet my expectations. The light was not bright enough and it was a yellowish light, not a bright white. The only thing good about it was that is light weight. I have a mxl500 280 lumen headlamp which i absolutely love and would purchase now, but I can not find it anywhere for sale. I hope you are still making them.
Sincerely
