"Its the best headlamp for caving at a price I can afford, durable, reliable and bright"

had to replace my lost headlamp
"had top replace my lost headlamp and im glad they make this model its great if i want a head lamp or a flashlight super bright magnet inside of equipment and small enough for a pocket"
Pyrex ain’t just for dishes.
"I gave these as a gift. Everyone has loved them. I haven’t opened mine yet, but I looked at a friend’s. Only complaint I would have is the lense should be pyrex not plastic."
Not happy
"I bought this light bc I have had 2 other smaller fenix headlights. I was excited to use this new and bigger lamp for my waterfowl season. Unfortunately after my first use the light stopped holding charge and I have not been able to use it for more than 10 minutes at a time since then. Very disappointed in this light. I expect better from a $100 dollar headlamp."
Improved functionality
"The version 2 of the Fenix HM61R is improved. It has the same great features as V1, with better starts eg. Starts with Red before white to noruin night vision. The lock mode is somewhat easier to enable/disable than V1. The headset mounting also seems a bit more secure. I think this is a great headlamp, and remains my number 1 choice and EDC for personal use and travel."
This is the second one with same problem
"I'm having the same problem with the flashlight that you guys replaced in December, 2024. Whenever connecting to charge I get orange light instead of red light, and not chagrining"
my favorite light
"many years ago a good friend of mine gave me a Fenixpd39r it has been a solid piece of my kit . recently I purchased several hm61r headlamps . I am so impressed with my 10 year old light I had to get more Fenix lights , My new headlamps have performed beyond my expectations. Keep up the good work Harry I"
Real deal
"I use the Fenix HM61R for night fishing in the summer and pretty much everything in the long dark winters ip north here. I've owned a dozen headlamps over the years and there's nothing close to the quality of the fenix. I love that I can easily remove it from the headband to use as a handheld flashlight and the battery recharging system is so simple and convenient. But the light that comes out of it is insanely powerful. It's in a league of its own."
