Fenix HL12R V2.0 Rechargeable Headlamp

Light up the night on the bank, trail, or campsite with the Fenix HL12R V2.0, an ultra-lightweight, high-performance rechargeable headlamp delivering up to 500 lumens of output and a beam distance of 125 metres. Purpose-built for dynamic outdoor activities such as night angling, running, camping, and trekking, its compact footprint and negligible weight (just 72.5g) also make it the ultimate high-reliability backup torch to keep in your tackle bag, carryall, or jacket pocket.

Powered by a built-in 950mAh lithium-polymer battery, the HL12R V2.0 recharges fully in just 2.5 hours via a modern, weather-sealed USB-C port on the rear of the head unit. Operating the lamp is fast and intuitive thanks to dual independent switches—one controlling the white flood/spot beam across four brightness levels, and the other dedicated to the red LED mode (offering continuous stealth lighting or a flashing beacon signal). Constructed from high-strength polycarbonate with a heat-dissipating aluminium front casing, this tough headlamp is IP66 waterproof-rated and drop-tested to 1.5 metres, guaranteeing dependable operation through torrential downpours and rugged bankside conditions.

Key Applications & Where To Use

Bankside Setup & Long-Distance Tracking: Cranking up to the 500-lumen High mode punches a powerful beam 125 metres across the water, making it easy to spot distant markers, far-bank tree lines, or navigate dark access paths.
Roving, Trail Running & Trekking: The ultra-breathable, perforated headband features an internal silicone strip that channels sweat away from your eyes, staying comfortable during active outdoor pursuits.
Emergency & Backup Torch: Weighing only 72.5g and equipped with electronic lock-out functionality, it stows neatly in your pocket or tackle box without accidental battery drain.

Gerry’s Fishing Pro Tip

Pro Tip: Make full use of the dedicated Red Light mode when taking photos, baiting up, or checking your rods at night. Red light preserves your natural night vision, avoids attracting swarms of midges or insects around your face during warm summer nights, and prevents disturbing neighboring anglers across the venue. Always activate the electronic lock-out before tossing the lamp into your carryall to stop it from turning on accidentally during transport.
