Fenix HM65R-T v HM65R-DT v HM65R-T V2 Comparison! Which one should you get?!

[@jackblock7451]

I would like to live to see the times when Fenix ​​will make a headlamp in which I turn on the 100lm, 300lm or 500lm mode and it shines with such power as stably as in the case of the flashlights they produce. So far, one of the exceptions, although not entirely, is the WH23R, which turns on at 70 or 120lm and maintains this power until the battery is depleted. It's worse with the 300/600lm mode, because after 90 seconds we already have 175/350lm, but it's stable.

THANK YOU, brilliant summary and comparison, been looking fir thus

[@jackblock7451]

The most ridiculous thing is "working time in..." mode. It's a pity that it doesn't say directly that it doesn't shine with a power of 400lm, but with a power of about 150lm, because the power drops within about 20-30 minutes. If it glowed stably with a power of 400lm, it would last about 3-4 hours. This is the "magic of data" for those who don't know how marketing works.

[@jackblock7451]

To compare technical data, I recommend taking a look at the Super Raptor and Super Raptor 2 versions for the Scandinavian market. There, the operating times are 2-3 times shorter, because the power does not drop after a dozen or so minutes... But Fenix ​​shows graphs, so if someone hasn't looked, it's their problem...

Are you able to turn BOTH white and warm on the version 2? You are on the r-t version 1 and I was just curious if they changed that function or not

[@Wigglythegreat2]

No you aren't and it's disappointing. I have the V2 and it's a pretty good light, but it could have been better. They should also have a shortcut to high mode and not always start in low mode and the warm light should be more floody.

[@valentineone]

@Wigglythegreat2 Yeah, that is what I thought. I will try the version 2 at some point, but I actually bought a spare version 1 because of the warm flood and the independent lights that can be used simultaneously for even more light if necessary. Thanks for the response.

Also the later two models have removable straps for cleaning
