Hi all,

I've been away from the whole light scene, but recently the lens on my old trusty Zebralight broke, so I am forced to look for a new headlight.

Honestly, my head is spinning - so many features now, compared to 5-6 years ago. Would you guys be able to recommend something that fits the bill below, more or less:

- unprotected 18650 battery (or should I upgrade to 21700? Worried it's going to be a tad too heavy)
- Battery level indicator that doesn't get in the way. I like Zebralight 4 clicks UI for that
- IP68+
- Warm or neutral tint

Optional:
- easy to remove from the headband
- magnetic charging
- magnetic tailcap
- red light

I had a brief look and Fenix HM61R seems to fit the bill for most things but the tint :(

I appreciate your advice!

Thanks @AstroTurf, I thought about it, but seems like there's really been no update to their 18650 models for quite a while, I thought I look elsewhere.

Having had a quick look at this forum, I think Armytek Wizard C2 Pro Nichia may tick most of the boxes.
