The high-intensity Fenix HL30 headlamp throws a bright beam up to 40m to light up the trail on nighttime adventures.

High-quality Cree XP-G LED operates in 5 brightness levels to meet your lighting needs™low, mid, high, turbo and red output
Turbo gives you 5 min. of use with a maximum output of 200 lumens; after 5 min. the light automatically switches to high
Use the single red LED to preserve night vision while hanging out at camp or making your way down the trail
Strobe function outputs 45 lumens and is handy for signaling
Regulated output maintains consistent light output over the lifetime of the batteries
Memory circuit automatically locks the brightness level when you turn the light off so when you turn it back on it's at the same level
IPX6 water resistance rating ensures the headlamp will operate in bad weather
Fenix HL30 headlamp operates on 2 AA batteries (sold separately); batteries provide 140 hrs. of use on low and 1 hr. 40 min. on turbo

Comments about Fenix HL30 Headlamp:

I bought this headlamp for use in the field and at home. Around the house, this lamp works for most of the tasks I can think of performing. I have used it for typing or reading in bed. In the field, I have hiked trials with it. It has yet to disappoint me.

In Low and Medium mode, it provides enough light for most close-up tasks. The field of light provided by the lamp is wide enough to cover reading a large format magazine. For reading, Low is fine. For working at a desk, Medium works perfectly. There is no "dead-zone" to contend with, so moving the beam around is not necessary.

On High, it provides enough power to light up trails for about 20 feet. It does illuminate further, but my eyes do not seem to make much use of what is there beyond that. On Turbo the story changes a lot. I find that I can see for about 50 feet as if in daylight, though with a slightly whiter tint.

The other mode is Red light. It is about 10 lumens I think and it is enough for map reading and close-up tasks. The color if fine for lighting a keyboard without interfering with the monitor. Kind of a neat effect. The red light is a bit on the bright side to truly protect night vision, but it helps some I think.

The battery life seems to be true to the claims by Fenix. I was able to get about 2 hours from a set of fresh alkaline cells on Turbo. Carrying a couple of extra sets will get one through a whole night of hiking using Turbo.

Comments about Fenix HL30 Headlamp:

I have been looking for the perfect integrated headlamp unit, and this is almost it. I have been a fan of Fenix flashlights for many years and have waited on this unit a long time. It is bright enough for night hiking, even in dangerous terrain like the Grand Canyon. The low and medium-low settings are both good for reading at night. I rarely need the brightest setting. It really is not a large unit, but of course I wish it was a bit smaller.I wish Fenix had designed it with the CR-123 batteries so it could have been smaller, and the batteries would match with my PD 32 flashlight. My only complaint is that when the batteries weaken, you lose the option for the highest setting. The red light mode is the best I have experienced in headlamps. I probably have at least 10 different headlamps, all good units, but this is by far the best I have found. It is a great unit and I was tempted to give it 5 stars, but alas it is not perfect...... just the best at the moment. I am hard to please!!

Comments about Fenix HL30 Headlamp:

I bought this headlamp because I was impressed with its performance when I saw it in the store and because the price.
So far it's a great light, It may only have a IPX6 waterproof rating but I dropped it in a full sink of water and it was fine. It's really really bright and it's nice having several different lighting settings (not to mention the red LED).
