The Fenix HM23 V2.0 Head Torch is an upgraded multi-purpose headlamp designed for everything from trail running and hiking to caving and emergency back-up lighting. Completely redesigned from the original HM23, the V2.0 easily clips in and out of its headband mount, allowing it to be used as either a traditional head torch or a compact angle light. Powered by a single AA battery, it delivers up to 300 lumens through a Luminus SST20 LED with an 88 metre beam distance, alongside direct-access red lighting and flashing modes for preserving night vision. The lightweight aluminium alloy body is IP68 waterproof and dustproof, while the magnetic tail cap and pocket clip add extra versatility for hands-free use. Designed to perform in harsh conditions without unnecessary bulk, the HM23 V2.0 is a dependable lighting solution for outdoor adventures, trade work, camping, climbing, caving, and general everyday use.
