TheFenix HL32R-T is a lightweight hiking headlamp with a maximum lumen output of 800 lumens, equipped with a USB-C charging port, dual on/off switch, and an adjustable Sport Fit System headband operated with one hand. The headlamp can be powered by the included ARB-LP1900 rechargeable battery or 3 AAA batteries.

The body of the headlamp is made of lightweight magnesium alloy, which is characterized by high resistance to weather conditions, mechanical damage, and high temperatures. Such properties provide the flashlight with strength and reliability of operation, making it perfect for demanding outdoor activities. It is worth noting that the weight of the headlamp, including batteries, is only 107 g, so after putting the flashlight on your head, it is easy to forget about it.

The light source is two Luminus SST20 LEDs and a smaller LED with a natural light color and high CRI. As a result, we can use 2 forms of illumination: focused with a maximum flux of 800 lumens or diffused with a value of 200 lumens. Two light beams of different widths (80°/18°), a maximum range of as much as 132 m (focused light in high mode) and convenient adjustment of the light beam tilt make the Fenix HL32R-T perfect as a headlamp for running, hiking or fishing.

The Fenix HL32R-T headlamp is powered by an ARB-LP1900 lithium-polymer rechargeable battery pack. The pack used provides up to 20 hours in low mode (30 lumens) or up to 180 minutes of total operation in high mode (800 lumens). The manufacturer has provided for an alternative form of power supply. When the battery is discharged, we can replace it with 3 popular AAA (Ni-MH/alkali) batteries. Going on a longer trip outside the city, it is worth taking a supply of AAA batteries with us, so that even in a random situation we will not run out of light.

The ARB-LP1900 uses a high-speed USB-C port to charge the battery, allowing it to be fully charged in just 180 minutes (mains charging). The USB-C port allows the battery to be recharged, for example, while traveling in a car, at work or using a power bank. This solution also reduces the cost of having to purchase a charger and gives us independence and greater mobility during outdoor activities. The flashlight uses an LED battery level indicator (4 LEDs), which clearly informs us about the state of the battery, allowing for thoughtful energy management. The discussed function works only with the ARB-LP1900 rechargeable battery.

Battery level indications:

• four blue LEDs: 100-80%,
• three blue LEDs: 80-60%,
• two blue LEDs: 60-40%,
• one blue LED: 40-20%,
• flashing blue LED: 20-1%.

To operate the flash light, thereare two buttons located on the top of the flashlight, separate for concentrated and diffused light. This solution guarantees convenience and ease of use of the headlamp. The assigned button turns on/off and changes the brightness of the light. The flashlight uses 7 modes of operation: 3 levels of concentrated light (low, medium, high) and 4 settings of scattered light (low, medium, high, SOS). The flashlight has a lock function to prevent accidental activation of the flashlight while carrying it, which can, of course, lead to uncontrolled battery drain.

Fenix HL32R-T provides IP66 rating, which means that it is resistant to dust, dust, heavy rain, splashing and dropping from a height of 2 meters. So we can use the flashlight in almost any weather conditions and varied physical activities without worry. The advanced driver and robust design makes the flashlight work efficiently in a wide temperature range: -35°C to 45° C.

The Fenix HL32R-T uses the patented Fit System band adjustment system, which allows you to adjust the band circumference with one hand. The mechanism is operated by a rotating disk, with which we can easily shorten or increase the circumference of the band even while running.
The widened strap is responsible for comfortable and stable wearing of the flashlight on the head, as well as easy wicking of sweat during physical activity. The strap has reflective inserts to increase our visibility and safety when moving at night on the road or trail.

Fenix HL32R-T is a versatile hiking headlamp, the advantages of which will be appreciated by jogging and Nordic walking enthusiasts, as well as those looking for a lightweight and reliable outdoor flashlight.

The presented parameters were obtained under laboratory conditions. During testing, the Fenix ARB-LP1900 battery was used.
