Have the older HM65R-T. I like that you can choose spot, flood, or spot and flood together.

Got the older RT and it’s absolutely the Best. Use it daily to walk our pups every am and pm. ❤

The V2 model does not allow us to use both beams together which is disappointing. Also, it would great to have shortcut to high mode instead of cycling through low to high. The warm light could use a bit more flood too as it doesn't light up close to our feet without tilting it far down. Thanks

if only they came with a red light as well

I have the HM65R-T and it is one of my two favorite headlamps. The use of a magnesium allow to keep the weight to a minimum in a sturdy 18650 battery headlamp is very much appreciated. I have some questions. 😎 1 - Is the headband any longer on the V2.0 model? With a large head, the headband on the original T is just a bit short with a hat (and I understand with helmet). 2 - What is the difference in Kelvin temperatures between the T and the V2.0 model. 3 - Are there any tables that show the runtimes of combined spot and flood use. For example, low spot and medium flood? 4 - Are the USB C charging ports sealed? 5 - Are there any step down times or graphs available for High modes? Thank you for the comparison video and your attention.

Thanks for the great review. Does the version 2 only have spotlights suitable for long distance or is there a floodlight mode like the rt suitable for working up close?

[@FenixStoreOfficial]

We appreciate the feedback! The 2.0 can still be used for long distances and close up scenarios or activities as well!

Excellent but i have the HM71r which is a beast ❤❤

[@FenixStoreOfficial]

It is definitely another great option!

I have four Fenix Headlamps that work and one that died after years of using it for work. Still want a few more too!

Oh 5 oz is a lot for running (which these are designed for) and I have to say these are superb at producing quality light but they are among the worst when it comes to comfort. I ran 10 hours with one of these bad boys on my head and by mile 50 the pain in my forehead was more annoying than the pain in my legs. See the issue with these lamps is that even when you tighten them just enough they will still bounce on your head because the skin on your head is elastic (I know - what a surprise) - just firmly put a finger on your forehead and move it up and down and see how much your skin moves on your forehead - this is how much this headlamp moves when running and it´s bloody annyoing let me tell you that. This headlamp is well bellow comfortable for running - it would have to shave off at least 20% of it´s weight to be comfortable for what it was designed for - ultra marathons. My advice to serious runners is buy a lighter headlamp that can throw around 300lm (warmer) floodlight and buy a spare battery. I know - having to change the battery is suboptimal in a race but it´s still better than having what is a weight of phone on your head.
