Fenix HL30 vs Fenix HL50 Headlamps

[@MintOutdoors]

Great review, I like the style of the newer head lights and they are considerably lighter in more than one aspect. ATB Jeff

Yes Jeff the newer model is definitely a better looking headlamp in my eyes, and if weight is a big issue for some people then the HL50 is the one to go for. Thanks for watching ATB Paul and Jay

Ta for the comparison. I like the HL50 a lot so far. The tint is great for outdoor colour rendition...almost like a Nichia 219 hi CRI led. I have a Fenix HP55 and Armytek Tiara a1 NW and I prefer the HL50 to both. Big fan of the cree T6 led so far. Finally Fenix listened. The modes are well spaced. I do wish turbo could just step down after a few minutes but there you go. At least it saves you forgeting you left it on Turbs and running your batt down. I REALLY wish it could take RCR 123 i.e rechargeable cr123 batts...such a shame it doesn't or I would have invested in a charger and a few protected cr's. I have tonnes of AA bats and as with all of this kind of regulated cree light...Eneloop NiMh win hands down everytime. Cheers
