Get one and be happy!
First, the light is *solid* and not some flimsy, cheap-o piece of junk mad in China. This light will and has already taken a lot of abuse from me in my work (I'm the maintenance man for a trailer park and we are *constantly* repairing trailers and under them replacing water pipes, etc). This light gets loads of sweat on it in the summer months, plus mud and water and rust and dirt and grease, etc, and this winter will get a break from some of those things, heh.
The *light* this thing puts out is *ASTOUNDING*! I use the medium flood the most often as I'm almost 60 and my sight isn't as good as it once was and I need light far more often than I did 20 years ago. This setting truly does last all day long. I can leave it on even when I'm not needing it and it would still be running just fine at the end of my day, so believe me and the company when they say this setting lasts 22 hours...it does!
The 'higher' settings of the flood or the spot will literally hurt a persons eyes if they were to look into it. The brightness will let you get whatever work done in any dark place you need as there will hardly be shadows anywhere. One can even turn on *BOTH* the high setting spot and high setting flood simultaneously and light up the neighborhood, lol.
This is literally one of the best purchases as a tool I've made since I started work as a construction carpenter 40+ years ago. I'd tried a cheaper priced headlamp made by Energizer before this and that thing ate the AAA batteries like they were going out of style. I was going broke from using that headlamp. This headlamp is saving me all kinds of money and heartache.
If you can afford the initial cost, and if you're not trying to survive on a disability check and can get a spare Fenix battery, do so! You *WILL* be extremely happy with your purchase. I'll never buy another brand or model, since I'm sure this one will last me several years even getting beat up as it will. I'll eventually get me a spare battery for it but I won't *need* one for a looong time.
Thank you Fenix for such an amazing product and for being Made in the USA!!Read full review...

Good Pro Headlamp system
Sample t use and powerful. Solid case construction.
For prolonged use in the field you should carry an extra battery.

Fenix HM65R Head lamp review
Absolutely one of the best if not the best on the market. Lightweight magnesium body and Cree leds make for an outstanding headlamp. I can wear the unit all day on a ball cap , head or with a hard hat attatchment can wear it all day with minimal fatigue if any at all.Read full review...

Great light
Good light bright and light weight and comfortable to have on for long periods of time the only negative I found for me is you need to hold the button down for a second or two to turn the light on instead of just tapping the button. I Baught this light to replace my 4-5 year old fenix hl55 that I love and still use for shoreline fishing and on the boat. Read full review...

Fenix HM65R
Performs above better than others I have used, price is what I expect from a quality product, had to charge battery before use and 4 hours on only high beam, it stayed bright into the dark hours of accomplishing the job from my experience, purchased 2 for backup just in case, sealed battery case means no corrosion expected if the light isn’t used, found out from other lower price headlamps, worth the money when you need to see with light, came with charging very short cord, no charging block, works for meRead full review...
