Fenix HL17R – Rechargeable Clip-On Flashlight
The HL17R is a 2.29 oz light built to ride on something rather than in your hand. Its quick-release back clip mounts on a chest strap, pack strap, pocket or hat brim, and the mount has a magnetic base so it sticks to a steel surface as a work light. A Luminus SST20 LED puts out 500 lumens with about 328 feet (100 m) of reach.
Besides four white levels it has five scene modes, including red and blue emergency signaling and a rotating color wheel, which is handy for runners, cyclists or anyone directing traffic. A wave of the hand turns it on and off through the gesture sensor, and the two electronic switches and rotating light ring are easy to use with gloves.
The 1000 mAh battery is built in and charges by USB-C, with a battery level indicator and low-voltage warning. It is IP66 rated for rain. Choose white or black.
