Fenix HL45R – 1000 Lumen Rechargeable Headlamp with Red Light
The HL45R is a focusing headlamp: twist the ring on the front to go from a 722 foot (220 m) spot to a wide flood. That makes it useful for both reading a trail far ahead and doing close work in camp. White light tops out at 1000 lumens from a Luminus SFT25R LED, and a separate OSRAM red LED gives three red levels plus red flash.
Red is the reason a lot of hunters and stargazers pick this one. It keeps your night vision and is less likely to spook game or blind the person next to you. A wave sensor turns the lamp on and off without touching it, which helps when your hands are dirty or gloved, and the rotary switch locks it out in your pack.
Power comes from the included ARB-LP1900 battery pack, charged by USB-C. If you run it down in the field, it also takes three AAA batteries. Weight is 4.69 oz with headband and battery, and it is IP66 rated.
