This is a great light. It is extremely bright. I really like the 5 brightness settings and the red light and red flashing light. Also I like the clip so you can wear it on your clothing and not just on your head. I use it for fire department purposes and it really lights the woods up when I hunt. Thanks for a great product.

David A. (verified owner) –
I am EXTREMELY satisfied with this light, it has the most features and survivability then the other lights in its category. Biggest thing that caught my eye was the battery time on its lower settings; 32 hours for 50 lumens, crazy. I drop things and am human so I fall, so the added rubber tab holding the light with the clips feels way more secure than the nitecore (WAY more) I edc and hike with it, so the weight was important, with its headband it is the lightest light in its category! Now, the only reason i have this 4 out of 5 stars was because i desperately want the ability to remove the magnet from the tailcap. It is the top choice in my opinion for a multi function headlamp.
William P. (verified owner) –
I bought the headlamp to wear when I take my dog on early morning walks before sunrise. It works perfectly, both in providing light for me to see, but to be seen by any motorists that we encounter. I love the ease of charging and the different levels of intensity. I’ve also used it for some night fishing and it worked great.
George (verified owner) –
I really really like this, only ding is that it’s a bit heavier than I would have liked… but that mostly is my choice to go with 18650 style stuff for compatibility across devices that I have. I’ve used and and love the different intensities for both white and red lights.

Cant get to red from off. Switch has no tactile feel or click, very hard to use, must be directly over center and push just right. Headband is hard plastic and digs into your forehead. Magnetic charger is weak and slides off on any movement like car hitting bump.

Excellent! My primary uses have been drywall finishing and painting along with automotive repair. Low brightness is available for close work and higher settings work great for projecting up onto ceilings while painting or into the depths of an engine compartment. Easy to adjust and comfortable. I bought Fenix’s cheap single bay charger since I didn’t like the idea of being wed to the special magnetic charge cable that this headlamp uses. That said, the supplied cable works fine too.

Both the HM61R and LD30 were bought as gifts for friends of mine after purchasing my own and loving each one for its own functionality. I especially loved the HM61R headlamp! I actually use it mainly as a secondary daily carry (Along with my PD36R) to use at work. I do HVAC/Refrigeration and it works perfectly inside panels and cabinets when taken out of the mounting plate and used as a magnetic right-angle light, allowing me to work with both hands. As a headlamp, the spread of the beam seems perfect and at a max of 1200 lumens it definitely allows you to see what’s ahead of you! Although the 400 lumen setting is usually enough for me, and prevents the light from getting too warm with extended use.

Mitchell Crites (verified owner) –
I wish there was a way to get into the Red light mode from OFF. Right now, I have to go through I bright mode and it ruins my night vision if I am not careful.
I also wish the light was “tap to turn on, hold to change modes” instead of “hold to turn on, tap to change modes”
I think you should offer your lights in more neutral led colors too for more accurate color reproduction.
Tracy C. (verified owner) –
I have a few Fenix lights and I have also given Fenix Lights as gifts. So I was brand loyal already. This head lamp was no disappointment either. I Really like the ability to swivel at ease and it STAYS PUT. if I use a head lamp it’s because I need my hands free , meaning most often it’s for up close work the WIDE spread of light is PERFECT for this. So From simple chores at night, to setting up decoys, or Pre dawn kayaking to my secret duck hunting spot right down to the latest use where my aging eyes strained to see the project I was sewing in my repair shop until I put on my HM61R and my problem was solved. Great Lights !

Fantastic!!!! My wife bought this for me and it’s the best all around flashlight. I use the head lamp for fishing and hiking then I use it for a edc for everything else. Very rugged, easy to carry in my pocket, and all the modes work perfect. This might sound like just another mfg ad from an employee but false. I’m a flashlight buff and have a lot of different lights but was never this impressed. This was my first fenix and will definitely not be last.

I thought that this headlamp was a bit pricey. I typically find flashlight housings and install my own led driver and led chip but I wanted to try something that had solder joints that would not fail when dropped onto concrete. While I haven’t had dropped the headlamp yet to test strength of solder joints, I have used it every evening since it came in the mail. It’s awesome. While it doesn’t seem like much, the magnetic charging port makes the headlamp so much more convenient that I find myself using my actual flashlights less and less.
Jeremy R. (verified owner) –
Great light. Not real heavy like I though it would be. Works well with the included headband and the one thing that stands out from this model from others is the red light.

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.
Christopher P. (verified owner) –
Great features and quality for the price. Super bright and easy to carry when not used as a headlamp.
Dan J. –
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

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.

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 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.

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.
