Fenix HM65R Headlamp, 1400 Lumen USB-C Rechargeable Spot and Flood Dual Beam with Organizer

If you're looking for a simple, rugged flashlight with high light output and impressive battery life, I highly recommend this one. I'm an avid hiker and have usually gone with lighter, lower-lumen lights, but battery life is very short. This one’s a bit heavier, but the performance and build quality are well worth it. I do a 1.5-hour evening hike every day and keep the light on medium (400 lumens), which is more than enough. There’s no drop in brightness, and at that setting, it’s rated for 22 hours, perfect for multi-day trips. Awesome light.

This is a really good headlamp. Bright if you really need it, but also able to run for a long time at a level that still gives you excellent visibility on dark trails. Lightweight and secure, it's easy to forget it is there. It's become my go-to light for outdoor activities.

I have the HP25, HL55, HL60R, and now this one. I like all those 3, and all 3 still work, but this one is my first pick due to the flood light which I had on the HP25 but that uses 4 AA batteries (2013 model). I'd buy any one of them again. The 4 blue led battery indicator on the top is handy.Edit: Going to nerd out a little more between a few of the lamps.The HL55 : is great. One light, perfect flood, great transition to the hot spot with some throw. The lens is probably my all time favorite Fenix has made. Great low light mode up to high. Differentiators with this would be: not rechargeable from the case, pro is turning it on is one quick button press (you don't need to hold), and the ability to adjust the headlamp both up AND down (I'm currently using this one on my mountain bike helmet with the mount available. Also notable is the "turbo" mode has a 30 second boost in contrast with the "turbo" mode on the other models (which also turn off after hitting it's temperature limit).HL60R : Same as the HL55...but rechargeable via usb from the case. Same in my opinion perfect lens as the HL55. A pro or con would be this light turns on with a longer press instead of the quick press. Plus is that this light has a battery capacity indicator showing you how much juice is left. Another plus is the red low light led's. Perfect for dark situations where you don't want your to re-adapt from brighter or white light.HM65R : Love the flood when it's needed. Very close to 100% consistent lighting. Spot works very well. Both on and you basically have the lens of the HL60R. The band on this lamp is a little nicer than the 55 or 60R. Battery indicator via 4 small blue leds is also great. Seemingly very long or improved battery life with more control over the output (flood, spotlight, and levels of each). Only thing I'd maybe like to see is either a moonlight mode for flood and/or adding a red led like the HL60R.I think that's about all that comes to mind for now. Will update if anything changes.

Yes, this is an expensive headlamp but worth every penny! I live in a rural area and own a small farm and I needed a reliable and bright headlamp that could provide wide flood light when working on tractors, feeding animals, and or going into dark shops but then also have a light that was super bright and projected a long ways like a normal flashlight and this does both! You can hit the left switch and have two different brightness levels of flood light and then hit the other button for three different projection light settings and the turbo is super bright and I can see out into the pastures with ease and don't have to pull out my normal flashlight. It fits my head well and I can even adjust it when I have a stocking gap on. I wear a ball hat 24/7 and it fits over my hat and bill and it is 100% adjustable. I was also pleasantly surprised about the battery life. I use it normally for about two weeks and then plug it in to recharge. Yes, recharging it if the power was out would be bad but in normal circumstances, it charges fairly quickly and I haven't noticed any water issues either. You truly get what you pay for in regards to headlamps and this one is AWESOME!!!!
