Fenix HM23 V2.0

The compact LED headlamp Fenix HM23 V2. 0 offers a luminous flux of up to 300 lumens (ANSI) and an afterglow of 88 meters. It uses a single AA pencil battery to power it, with which it achieves a battery life of up to 100 hours in the lowest mode (more than 4 days). The light source is the top white LED Luminus SST-20 and a pair of red LEDs. The all-metal construction ensures high durability, optimal cooling and is also fully waterproof according to IP68 standard up to a depth of 2 meters underwater. The practicality of the headlamp is enhanced by the ability to remove the light from the head holder and use it as a small pocket flashlight. In addition, the headlamp is equipped with a steel removable buckle, so you can easily clip it to your pocket, belt or any strap. The end of the lamp is magnetic, so it can be easily attached to anything iron. The headlamp offers a total of three power modes in the white light mode and electronics with the function of prolonging the endurance, in the 300 and 50 lumens modes gradually reduces the power to achieve a longer duration of light. The red light can be triggered in steady light or flash mode (both 5 lumens).

Very decent parameters, low weight of only 86 grams (including the alkaline battery) and a favourable price predestine the HM23 V2.0 for a wide range of sports, leisure, work and casual activities. It is suitable for evening road runs, camping, hiking, fishing and hunting. It will also serve you as a standby car torch for unplanned situations and thanks to its high durability, it is also suitable as a working headlamp for harsh conditions.

All luminaire parameters (luminous flux, battery life, waterproofness, range, and impact resistance) are measured in accordance with ANSI/NEMA FL 1-2009.

Use

Unscrew the battery tube cap. Insert the battery with the plus pole towards the headlamp, the minus towards the cap.

The off headlamp is switched to the last used white light mode by holding the button for 0.5 seconds.
The off headlamp is switched to the last used red light mode by pressing the button twice quickly.
The headlamp is switched off by holding the button for 0.5 seconds.

As long as the headlamp is switched on, the power modes can be cyclically switched by short presses of the button in the sequence 3 - 50 - 300 lumens (when switched on to white light) or red 5 lumens - red blinking (when switched on to red light). The lamp has a memory and always switches on in the last set mode (applies to both white and red light).

Low battery warning - if the battery voltage drops below the set level, the headlamp will automatically switch to a lower mode until it reaches the lowest power mode. After reaching the lowest power, the headlamp flashes 3 times every 5 minutes to remind you to change the battery.
