Taking Your Headlamp To the Next Level With the Fenix HM70R

Decent numbers, but I hate how fenix requires button top cells.

My HL60R can use flat top cells as it has 2 springs, one inside for the positive end and one in the screw on cap.

I would have rather liked to see neutral white hi cri all round instead of this splitting into CW and NW. But 21700 is great and you fixed the charging port. But still has mode memmory which kinda ruins the instant access to red light.

It would be nice to see multiple light levels - a 5 lumens (white) and also an intermediate level between 500 and 1600 lumens.
Any news on how long the Turbo level can sustain before it goes down in brightness?

I don't see that we got that chart from Fenix this time. We will ask the Fenix engineer then post their response. It may take a little while because they are on national holiday.

We heard from the Fenix engineer. Here is his answer:

"It will last about 5 minutes before it goes down from 1600 lumens."

It looks like they improved the HL60R shortcoming and came out with a great headlamp.
It has spot, flood, and, red lights and the latter two are hidden from the main light cycle.
They also hid the USB-C charging port and went back to the larger button like on the HL55.

The HM60R is going to be great considering it weighs only a couple of grams more than the HM65R but it will have a 180° tilt.

It would be nice to be able to purchase sport-fit headbands and holders as accessories for the HM60R too.

Do you mean a replacement headband for this headlamp?

 

[Labrador72]

I meant a replacement headband identical to the one used on the HM65R-T which is wider. I think Fenix refer to it the sport-fit headband.
It would be nice to be able to buy it as an accessory together with headlamp holders that fit it.

The replacement for the standard HM65R headband, the AFH-02, is already available. I actually got a couple from you when they came out as they were not available in Europe.

Unfortunately it seems the HM65R headlamp holder is not user replaceable so if, for example, I wanted to buy a sport-fit headband for the standard HM65R, it wouldn't be possible to replace the holder to fit it. I'm not sure if this is the case for the HM70R and HM60R.

I spoke with our Service Dept. and this is their reply:

"Yes, due to the sports band being wider than the normal band, the HM70R and HM60R will not be compatible with it."

Let us know if you have any other questions.
