Fenix HM65R Särmä TST Headlamp

The Fenix HM65R Särmä TST is as near to a perfect headlamp as it gets. Based on the HM65R Superraptor, this variant incorporates a red mode to retain night vision and a stealthy non-reflective headband.

Improvements:

• Regulator circuit for a constant output
• Daylight LEDs for a brighter illumination
• 5 power levels of white light
• 4 power levels of red light
• Non-reflective and non-orange stealth headband.

The headlamp gets its power from a rechargeable Fenix ARB-L18-3500 mAh battery which can be fast-charged with a USB-C cord. The charging cable and battery are included. Light, dustproof, and waterproof magnesium frame and 1200 lumen max output make these a very attractive illuminator.

With the variable output, you can illuminate from nearby areas up to 168 meters away. It is suitable as a helmet-mounted light for mountain biking in conjunction with a handlebar-mounted light. Having the primary light source on the bar helps you pick out and distinguish trail features.

While retaining your night vision may be crucial in military applications, it's quite handy for anyone spending time outdoors after dark. Also, if you move with a dog a red light seems to bother K9s less, if at all.

You'll find plenty of uses for a proper headlamp but here are a few for this powerful lamp:

• Outdoor and professional use
• Military use
• Demanding everyday use, cycling, etc.

Features

Nine modes

Toggling between modes is easy and both the white and red modes have dedicated power switches.

The buttons can be locked out by pressing either or both switches for 3 seconds when the light is off. The red light will blink four times to indicate success. To unlock the buttons, press both buttons for three seconds, the red light will blink four times and remain on at Low power setting.

Adaptable headband

The headbands are assembled in a way that shows the most graphics around the band. Should the adjustment range fall short for you, you can extend it by several cm / a few inches by assembling the headband as shown in the video below:
