Fenix HM61R V3.0 – 1800 Lumen Rechargeable Headlamp
The HM61R has been through several versions as a work headlamp, and the V3.0 adds more light and more ways to use it. The lamp body pops out of the headband mount and works on its own as a right-angle flashlight, with a pocket clip and a magnetic tail cap so you can stick it to a car hood, a breaker panel or a steel beam.
It has three light sources: a Luminus SST40 spotlight that reaches 640 ft (195 m) and tops out at 1800 lumens, a high-CRI (90) floodlight that shows true colors for wiring and repair work, and a red light for night vision. Two side switches keep white and red separate. A proximity sensor dims the light when you look at something close, and you can switch it off if you prefer.
It runs on an included ARB-L18-3400 18650 battery that charges inside the light through a sealed USB-C port, with up to 300 hours on the lowest level. The body is A6061-T6 aluminum, IP68 rated and impact resistant to 2 meters.
