    Fenix HM61R ticking all the boxes?

    It is not a perfect fit, because Fenix holder is quite a lot larger. But if you remove the clip from HM61R, it fits the Armytek holder acceptably. But I'm pretty sure that you can get replacement of original holder from your Fenix distributor if needed. In CZ, they offer it as a spare part. It...

    Fenix HM61R ticking all the boxes?

    AFAIK Zebralights are not rechargeable and do not have magnetic tailcap, so strictrly speaking they are not in the same "class" like the three headlamps above. The tint on the neutral white version looks good to me in all modes, I do not see any tint shifts in lower modes, but I'm not a tint...

    Fenix HM61R ticking all the boxes?

    It does not, it is constant regulated so it maintains stable output untill the battery is depleted.

    Fenix HM61R ticking all the boxes?

    Actually Fenix HM61R is the lightest headlamp in this class. Especially due to very light "hollow" headband. Here you can check the weight of Olight H2R, Armytek Wizard Pro and Fenix HM61R with included battery and headband. Only without optional clip (just few grams for each headlamp)...

    Fenix E18R hot charge cord

    E18R and E30R have charging electronics integrated in the cable, this could cause some heating of the cable.

    Review: Acebeam L16: XHP35 HI, 2000 lumens, 603 meters, 1 x IMR18650; (beam)shots

    There is a stepdown to 1000 lumens after 5 minutes. But I think that exact dime depends on the temperature of the light.

    Want a Visual of How Fenix's Top Dogs Compare--Here You Go!

    Nice comparison. But you should check the throw numbers, PD36R has the longest throw out of these four models.

    Fenix ARB-L14-1600U 14500 1600mAh Rechargeable Li-ion 1.5v

    The length of the ARB-L14-1600U is actually 50 mm, which is similar to Eneloop. So they really use shorter Li-ion cell. The battery keeps constant 1,5V voltage for the whole discharge time, so it has 2,4W which is similar to Eneloop. Constant 1,5V could be beneficial for some electronics...

    Review: Acebeam W10: white laser, 21700-battery, USB-C, 1000 meters, (beam)shots

    Safety glasses are not needed for this one. It is as safe (or dangerous :)) as regular LED flashlight with similar beam intensity.

    Fenix HM65R Rechargeable Headlamp: Introducing the New Fenix Design WITH VIDEO

    Re: Fenix HM65R Rechargeable Headlamp: Introducing the New Fenix Design AFAIK they do this only on headlamps and lanterns so far, but I agree it is depressing and misleading. Maybe they have copied it from Ledlenser, which uses similar output decreasing techniques for a long time, but that is...

    NEW Fenix Catalog: May, 2019

    Re: NEW Fenix & Ruike Catalog: May, 2019 I understand, that technically it is correct by the ANSI standard, but practically it is misleading customers. When you see runtime of 240 lumens for 8 hours on the package, you just do not expect, that it will actually run on 30 lumens for 7 hours out...

    NEW Fenix Catalog: May, 2019

    Re: NEW Fenix & Ruike Catalog: May, 2019 Stepdown on HM65R is nothing compared to HM23 with claimed 240 lumens for 8 hours on one AA. It actually steps down from 240 lm to 30 lm to reach this runtime. Not a good way for Fenix to mislead customers :(
