This is my 5th Fenix light all of them still work great. I’m an auto mechanic, my lights get abused and Fenix is by far the best. There is not one thing I would change about this light. It exceeds on every level.
Side note: buy from Fenix direct. I tried to by this from a company called Edison Bright on Amazon. Short story goes they got $100 from me I got zip from them. I will always buy direct from Fenix lesson learned.

I bought this so that I could replace my two work flashlights (one standard, one headlamp) with a single item and it seems well-suited to the task so far. I wish the long-press for on/off functions was shorter but overall I’m very happy with it. It’s smaller and brighter than my hl55 and the diffusing lens gives you bright, even lighting over a wide area. I pocket carry the light detached from the headband for normal use and have the band in my pocket when I need it. I also wish the red light was green (eye is more sensitive to green and it doesn’t wash out aviation charts the way red does) but that wouldn’t stop me from buying it again.

Great features and quality for the price. Super bright and easy to carry when not used as a headlamp.

This headlamp really packs a punch, in terms of size, brightness, & versatility. It is first and foremost a headlamp, but the light can be detached from the strap and used as a standalone right angle flashlight. It clips into a plastic bracket on the strap, and a stretchy rubber piece secures it even further. The angle of the light can be adjusted up and down by twisting the light body in the bracket. The turbo setting is overkill in some situations. It sports a removable forward facing strap clip, as well as a magnetic base. The magnetic base is much stronger than my E18R. The clip can rotate to position it in a variety of ways.
Basically, it’s a larger version of a combined LD15R (clip & magnet) & HM50R light (headlamp). It remembers the previous white color setting when turning it on, and has electronics to maintain a constant brightness while the battery is draining. This leads to slightly lower calculated run times (compared to other ~1000lm, 18560 battery lights), but I’m OK with this tradeoff. The magnetic charging is simple (but would like standardized to USB-C), and the battery level check is a simple 1 click of the power button
The reflective strap is lightweight and has a firm stretch, so it grips well. I’ve run with it, and the top strap and rear rubber 3 way connector keeps the added weight of the headlamp planted on my head, and the adjustment doesn’t drift. It does not have the silicone strip inside the strap that the M50BR has, but I don’t think that matters.
The beam is nice & even, because of the frosted lens. The red light setting is nice to have, and I could see myself using it as an extra tail light attached to my backpack during bike commuting (especially because of the red flash).
Pros:
Very bright. I normally use it on the 130lumen level when running, so I have plenty of extra light if I need it
Clean and consistent beam
Stable during vigorous activity
Constant Brightness
Uses the same 18560 batteries that my other lights use
The clip stays on the light when it’s mounted in the head strap, so it won’t get lost
Magnetic charging is very simple
Cons:
Not standardized to USB-C charging, but magnetic charging works well
Heavier than my HM50R
Lower runtimes due to the constant brightness

The Light itself is a Great Tool and Works well, the Headband it attaches to does not work well with hats, the strap that goes over the head causes the headband to not stay on securely and tends to fall off, it does not appear you can remove that over strap that causes this issue.. Please advise..

Good shipping ….great product good quality …..I work industrial maintenance and use the crap out of this light everyday and then take it home for my edc. I chose this one because it had tempered glass instead of plastics lens, I have had plastic lens get messed up with all the oil and grease and chemicals I work with fogging the plastic lens, and so far this glass has done very well. I have been using it for a few weeks and it is really great and with the headband option makes it even better. Only one thing is you can flip the clip so the glass part sits down in your pocket and the magnet stick out or your pocket and be aware I did lose mine once because the magnet stuck to a metal machine and pulled it out of my pocket lol so I just flipped the clip back around and no problem since. I have plans on buying another one.

Easily the one light that should be in every vehicle and EDC bag. Its a Headlamp + Flashlight + Clip Light + Magnetic work light + Magnetic side marker when having car trouble. I love the inclusion of the red LED.
Only thing I’m left wanting more of are, Fenix lights with a dedicated on/off for the red led.
Kylan Tanaka (verified owner) –
If it had a case with a clip, it would be the one light you shouldn’t leave home or be in a vehicle without. With all of its potential uses it is a must have/have with you.

The only improvement I can think of would be to make it out of unobtainium. Otherwise, this is an awesome light! It fully lights up any large aircraft on a walk around, and for work at home, the headband is very comfortable. Love the magnetic base and charging.

The short and sweet of this light is its ability to wear many hats. I think it’s a hard decision when choosing the right headlamp simply because they normally serve one purpose, and that is to sit on your forehead. This is where the HM61 differs. It can be removed from its housing and used as a flashlight too! So instead of buying a headlamp that serves one purpose, on your head, it can also fulfill many other jobs and tasks. The magnetic base is no joke and holds on to any metal object for dear life. The magnet is strong enough to place the light sideways, upsidedown, you name it! The battery indicator light is just a click away and is super handy when needing to know the status of your battery. The easy to use charging option is really a no-brainer. The cable itself is magnetic so if you get it close enough to the light it will attach itself to it and begin charging. No port to fiddle with. It’s that simple. My favorite aspect of this light though is the beam. It is so clean! The lens is frosted which helps make this light one of the best I’ve owned. The light that comes out of this is gorgeous. You can see everything all around you in front. The best way I can describe it would be to say the light fills in all the nooks and crannies and then some. There is also a red light function that comes in handy when moving about at night in the house without being too bright. My 3-year-old daughter uses the red light to perform “doctor check-ups” a few times per day. I’ve only had this light for a short period of time but I can say without a doubt it has now become my favorite headlamp. Thank you Fenix for making such a great multi-purpose, hard-use product!

Great for hands free night work. Angle of light also allows it to be used on a pocket if you don’t want to wear the head gear.

Great item, very multi-functional, that it can be removed from the harness. The magnetic base is a BIG asset, as well the side-clip for vertical pocket placement. I only wish the top-hat switch was some other kind of configuration, like on the side to squeeze between the thumb and forefinger. Other than that very, very small engineering consideration, well done.

One of the most functional multi-purpose lights I have. I like the removal of the head band and magnet features. Great all around product.
Frank W. (verified owner) –
I thought at first it was kind of gimmicky, but I use the right angle flashlight a ton. I don’t really use it as a headlamp because the HM65R fits that bill so well, but I detached the flashlight and it sits on my refrigerator ready for constant use. The magnet on the end is very strong. It also can stand on the end cap, which very few of my other lights can. Oh, and of course it is built like a tank and bright AF, but it is a Fenix, so that’s a given.

Fantastic light so far.
I have owned the HP25 and on. I use them for working in the shop, running, mountain biking, camping/hiking. The HL60R was fantastic and it was my go-to headlamp since it came out. The HM65 I purchased for the shop since I didn’t need the red light…which brings us to this.
This is perfect.
Pro’s:
– Magnetic charging isn’t proprietary.
– Great hotspot to flood combination (similar to the HL55 & HL60R). Basically you get light all over, and also some throw, with great transition between when working on things to reduce glare.
– If you want micro usb charging, you can purchase their 3500mah 18650 with built in micro-usb (best of usb and magnetic charging).
– White light has a low lumen mode.
– RED light has a bright mode (1 and 5 lumen option).
– Removable light with magnetic tail. I’m using mine primarily as a headlamp; however having that ability is fantastic for versatility. Also, the magnetic tail on their lights is a late, but welcome addition.
Cons:
– On the HM65R there was a silicone bead on the inside of the headband to add grip and channel sweat. This one doesn’t have that feature.
