liked the rechargeable feature. NOT SALT WATER WORTHY… live in hawaii took the light fishing for menpachi on its maiden voyage and it worked awesome for about 6 hours using it sparingly so not to use the battery life and it quit working… flickered for a moment then got hot and quit working completely..

Hi Dustin – it shouldn’t quit working like that. I will have our warranty department reach out to you via email and help you out with that.

Hasn’t been field tested yet. Good construction and finish.

Very handy bit of kit – use mine all the time. Great for hunting at night and picking up the reflection from deer eyes in the forest. Then can also use work light for working under vehicles in poorlight and around camp. The top output is high for such a small light so aluminum heatsink case can become a tad warm after an hour of constant use. You will also need a few spare rechargeable batteries in your pocket if walking around night hunting for a long period.

The versatility of this light is amazing. With red lighting, I use it for night sailing frequently, to preserve my night vision, the flood is great for general close quarters work, and the spotlight is off the charts.

I have only used this a few times but I am already impressed. I will be replacing all my climbing and mountaineering lights with this one.

Cycling/hiking all types of environments this light is awesome.
Very well balanced. Head band easily adjustable to bare head, capped head or helmeted head and the adjustable angle light stays put.
Floodlight great for camp site or hvy night traffic areas keeping the 4 wheeled murderists on their toes. High level not recommended for city night biking, you’ll have the motorists covering their eyes because they’re temporarily blinded even from just the side wash of the light beam.
I wear this in any climate condition. From clear nights, pelting rain storms to 5-15F in Sierra Nevada blowing snow storms.
Depending upon the ambient lighting conditions the multiple output levels and arcs work extremely well. Everything from cycling 100 miles or hiking all night you won’t be disappointed. High output level for technical mountain biking at night and lowest level for long treks on your basic roadways or trails.
High level is as good as any common modern car headlight. You can see the color of objects easily at 200ft +. Pretty much way overkill in all but the most technical hiking/biking conditions where flailing = death drop.

Amazing headlamp. I have been buying the latest black diamond storm for the past 5 years. They have been increasing the lumens a tiny bit each time but its NOTHING compared to the 25r. I swear they don’t get as bright the longer you own them. I wanted a headlamp that i can go on hikes with my dogs on my local trails and that i can recharge. I got tired of replacing 4 AAA batteries in the storms. With the HP25R i can use all the power i want and just recharge it when i get home. The battery last a long time. The 2nd and 3rd brightest while using the spot is plenty of light. I took off the top band because you don’t need it. I am going to hike the PCT trail in 2 months and am seriously considering taking this lamp vs a lighter lamp. I might get the HL26R lamp Fenix just came out with and take that. I would like to see Fenix let us use the 350lum spot and 350lum flood at the same time. I also use them headlamp for mountain biking and it works great. I got this lamp because of the flood and its awesome. Hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

tempted to get the 60 rechargeable however the battery is on the front which will make it heavier,, this is better balanced however the output on the lowest setting is 30 lumens where the 60 has a output of 50 lumens, why could they make the output the same.. the 60 rechargeable seems to have better specs but why didn’t they make the battery at the rear fro balancing

My first impression is I want the ability to use the flood and spot at the same time. The ability to have to light sources to give more depth perception on uneven ground . It seems to be solid construction, time will tell. A heat sink would help overheating . Changing batteries is a snap just keep a spare in your pocket. My guess is I’m in the minority of users in how I use the light. This time of year I am using it 3-4 times a week for 2-3 hours at a time off/road/trail on steep eroded firebreaks and canyon areas

As a fan of the original HP25 and of 18650 power, I was excited to see this model come out, and now that I’ve received it, I’m not disappointed. Pros: extremely solid construction; very even flood illumination; extremely powerful spot (about 50% wider than HP25 too). Only con is that I can’t use both flood and spot at the same time (sometimes that’s what I want). Partly offset by the wider spot though. Great light!
