Great light, not so great build

"First the good. This light is very bright, it's lightweight, and the light housing itself is well built using metal. The band to hold it to your head is also comfy and the rubber to keep it in place was appreciated. The buttons were easy to figure out and use. Now the bad. The piece used to hold the light to the headband is just a flimsy piece of plastic that doesn't even connect the "legs" in the middle of the band. I understand they did this for it to be removable but it also makes for a weaker product. Mine lasted less than 3 months before one of the 4 legs snapped while adjusting the light, rendering it useless as a headlamp. No warranty coverage for this so unless you want to pony up the $$ for a new plastic piece 4x a year(if they are even in stock to buy) I would search out other better thought out options."

So So Headlamp

"This headlamp is decently bright with a spot only function. The area of illumination was smaller than expected with the spot light. The brightness levels are fine, but the battery life seems much shorter than expected. I used it for one night time run and the band of the headlamp against my forehead became irritating after 4 or 5 miles. I would return this lamp except I completely destroyed the packaging."

Perfect Headlamp

"I’ve had a few headlamps, the last being a AA Fenix light which I loved, but someone else loved it more… I picked up this one because it was super lightweight and rechargeable. 5 star light! Memory to last setting, super dim “moonbeam” and red light settings and adjustable angle- I’ve used it working on my Jeep and doing chores around the house after dark for three weeks now and I’ve not had to charge it yet. Fenix lights seldom disappoint and this one is no exception. Now I just wish I could get another PD20."

Maintenance

"Excellent light, very functional, very dependable"

— Randy H. (5/5)

Great product

"I bought this headlamp for my daughter, she loved it. I also have headlamp and tactical flashlight. I use the headlamp frequently for home repairs and mechanics work. I use the tactical flashlight for my church security team. As a former LEO I can tell you Fenix lights are extremely reliable and great product . In my opinion they are superior to Surefire which used to be the standard in law enforcement."

Great headlamp!

"Yes! It is a great headlamp! Very bright! Lasts a long time. Buy one today!"

— Robert M. (5/5)

Fantastic light!

"This is a great headlamp for multipurpose use. I like the USB-C charging option a lot. The only point I would add would be an option to change the focus of the light to make the beam wider or narrower but for this price point the light overall is great."

— Grant B. (4/5)

Awesome

"Came in really handy the day after I got it. Was installing a light bar on my bumper, so I needed a flashlight but also needed to use both hands. The Fenix HL12R was awesome! Made my job so much easier to do. This is the 6th or 7th Fenix light I’ve got and love them all…."

— Kathy M. (5/5)

"Great light to have when you need your hands free to work"
