I don't use this product all that often but it tends to get used for a minute or two every few days. I do not leave the product on very long and yet battery life drains in no time at all where the higher power lighting is available. I have a second one that I use at work and it's much the same. I may not use it for weeks at a time but it rapidly loses capacity to stay brightly lit

Poor battery life

 All I can say is if you're after a robust, light, slim, rechargeable headlamp which does the job, it's ultra bright, it lasts as long as you want, this is definitely one to go for. It's also got the tilting action on it as well, superb. So I'm going to show you a bit of footage now in the dark and I hope you enjoy it. Thanks for watching

 You can buy as extra, which is what I've got here, this is a completely different one, this is a 3500 battery which will actually last a lot longer. So we'll open this up and the best thing about this battery is, look at that, you can charge it separately, it's got it's own little USB port and it lights up blue and red, red when it's empty and blue when it's full and it's incredible.

Fenix HL60R Headlamp Review

 It uses a Cree XM-L2T6 neutral white LED with a lifespan of 50,000 hours. So it has five brightness levels with the 950 lumens maximum and a red reading light. So let's go through those right now. It's also digitally regulated to maintain constant brightness

 Now when the headlamp is charging, the two red LEDs will flash simultaneously and a USB cable is included. Charging time is approximately four hours, although I don't usually allow my battery to go that low, so it usually takes a fraction of that time. When charging is completely done, the two red LEDs will be constant on. Now before I do the headlamp testing, I just want to mention that the headlamp comes with a limited lifetime guarantee from Phoenix Lighting US

 With the lamp turned on, the two red LEDs will flash when the battery capacity is less than 20%. So important thing to note is that the micro USB port is waterproof even without the cover on. So this is just an anti-dust cover, but you'll want to remember to plug it back in anyway. Or you can buy a separate battery charger and charge your batteries that way

 Hi, my name is Lucas and welcome to my channel, Anything and Everything Reviews, where I thoroughly research products and services to save you time, money and frustration from buying mediocre products and services. So today I'm reviewing the 950 lumen Phoenix HL60R headlamp and it's produced by Phoenix Lighting US, which is a very well regarded company and trusted by many people throughout the world. And in fact, Phoenix exceeds the standards set by the American National Standards Institute. So I absolutely love this headlamp and I've had it for I think two years and nine months and it's been absolutely excellent

The Best Rechargeable Headlamp I’ve Ever Used – Fenix HL60R Review

 While I was walking to the store I had it on high, so people could see me on the freeway, and then on the way back a couple gave me a ride back to my car, so I didn't have to use it. Dang this thing is bright! So bright, that I had to have it on the 2nd or 3rd setting to see what I was looking at while changing my alternator. It is a torch let me tell you! It took me about 45 min to change out the alternator, and away I went. It got a little hot, but wasn't uncomfortable, and the light didn't dim at all

The alternator went bad. It was 6

The 121g listed in the product spec is without the required rechargeable battery.   With battery it’s more like 150g which to too heavy for my liking.  I’d sooner take a hit on lumins or battery life then the extra weight but to each their own.

Not for me.

 Where's that some good light? Where's that some good light? Pretty nice headlamp. I like it. So that's it for right now. Chris from PrepareMy101

 It does not put out hardly any distance whatsoever even with a foot or two in front of you it's like maybe reading a map in the dark or something like that but you know I don't use the red stuff that much anyway so I didn't really have any problems or complaints with this aside from my own getting used to how the buttons work I like that it is USB rechargeable because I always have plenty of USB if I get my freaking finger in there plenty of portable power units you know when and if I go camping so I have no problems with topping this off at all now just run down the specs on this this has a Cree XM-L2 U2 neutral white LED with a lifespan of 50,000 hours five output modes plus a red light so the brightest is going to be turbo at 48 minutes and that's got a throw of 380.6 feet or 116 meters plenty high is going to be 400 lumens for three hours mid level is going to be 150 lumens for 10 hours and I find that to be the best general use level low is going to be 50 lumens for 29 hours and eco is five lumens for a hundred the red light is one lumen in a hundred hours does that really even matter knowing that it honestly doesn't but I guess they kind of got to have to digitally regulated output maintains maintains constant brightness it's a dual light source one switch operation you've got a full range 160 degree tilt to get the right beam angle for when you're walking or working or whatever reverse polarity protection so in case you take the battery out put it in the wrong way I mean it's all kind of standard these days so charges directly through the USB port but of course you could if you're at home just pop it out and throw it in your charge bay if you so chose again it's got the power level indicator to display battery levels and you just get that by giving it a quick click and looking at the flashes type three hard anodized anti abrasive finish on aluminum body tough and ultra clear glass lens anti-reflective coating and waterproof to ipx8 so that I like that they actually kind of quantify what that means which is underwater for six and a half feet for 30 minutes so you can put this on your head and stick it underwater for 30 minutes at six and a half feet you gotta be really good at holding your breath I'm just saying and it does come with the battery so all in all flash lights are very subjective to what people like some people only like the hiking ones that are like ultra light and my experience have very confusing you know controls some people like the bigger ones this gives you a nice range and of course you having the memory yeah see I did it again gotta hold it down you can just set it wherever you want and then we turn it back on it's gonna be at that level so you got a lot more range with this company's been around a long time everybody knows Phoenix's quality just kind of depends on what it is that you like so let's go ahead and get some shots at nighttime of walking around with this thing and seeing what it looks like in the dark not quite a bit of light let's take it down a notch here we go Where's that some good light? Let me get the red. Where's that some good light? Where's that some good light? Pretty nice headlamp. I like it

 It is a little bit largish but surprisingly it did not feel too heavy on my head. I like the range of motion on the angle so I didn't have any problems with it and as you see in the beam shots it's got a nice center beam that kind of gives you plenty of spill now what confuses me just because you know I have you get muscle memory with like the flashlights that you're used to operating so with this one if you just click it it's going to flash a couple different patterns to give you a battery level indication so you got to remember get used to holding it down to turning it on and then clicking puts it through the different modes and the red lamps being that they are just the small LEDs that is going to be very much you know just up close.

New Fenix HL60R Rechargeable Headlamp - Preparedmind101

The rechargeable ACTIK CORE headlamp offers 350 lumens of power which, combined with its mixed beam, makes it ideal for outdoor activities like mountaineering, running, hiking and backpacking. A HYBRID headlamp that comes with CORE, a battery that is rechargeable via standard USB port. It is compatible with standard batteries without the need for an adapter. Red lighting preserves night vision and prevents blinding other members of the group. Its reflective headband helps you to be seen when a light is shone on it, and is equipped with an emergency whistle for rescue situations.

Wirecutter

The Petzl emits bright light with the highest beam quality. And it stays charged for days—whether you charge it with a USB or AAA batteries. This is the perfect headlamp for backpacking trips.

Switchback Travel

It’s 2022, and AAA batteries are so last year. Many headlamps have followed suit with USB-rechargeable designs, and the Petzl Actik Core is by far our favorite. In short, this headlamp is the complete package, featuring 450 lumens at maximum brightness, a long battery life with consistent performance across its burn time (some headlamps peter out but the Actik stays bright until the end), a sub-3-ounce weight, and an easy-to-use interface. France-based Petzl has been leading the charge with headlamp innovation for years now and their Actik Core is case in point.

USB-rechargeable designs have limited use for multi-day stints in the field (unless you bring a portable power bank or solar panel), but the Actik Core offers a brilliant solution in the form of a battery pack that can be swapped out for AAA batteries. It was a solid headlamp already, but this versatility brings it to the top of our list. And the Petzl is so long-lasting you might not even need to bother with a dying battery—one charge lasted us the length of a six-day bikepacking trip in the San Juan Mountains (our BioLite 330 needed several charges). The Actik’s water resistance isn’t ground-breaking (IPX4 will protect against rain and splashes) and you’ll pay for all the high-end tech at $70, but these are small sacrifices for a reliable headlamp that will stand the test of time.See the Petzl Actik Core

 I can't believe how much better the Nitecore is! Petzl needs to step up their game.  [This review is essentially a copy of the one I left on the NU25 page].  Compared to the Petzl, the NU 25: - is half the price - is 1/3 the weight and more compact (important for extended use) - is more water resistant - is able to light up while plugged in to power. (I carry a power bank when hiking, so this is a nice backup mode

I've used Petzl headlamps for a decade and love them. I recently bought both a Petzl Actik Core ($70 model E99abb) and this Nitecore NU25 for half as much. I can't believe how much better the Nitecore is! Petzl needs to step up their game.  [This review is essentially a copy of the one I left on the NU25 page]

 Would you rather have a bit more light but a little less runtime? Hard to say, but both work for my task.  If you kick up the Petzl to high mode you get a measly 2 hours, but the light is insanely bright at 350 lumens. Too bright to just have on continuously unless you're mountain biking. The only time I want that level of illumination is looking for lost keys or trying to figure out what critter made a noise in the woods

Meh. Petzl has gotten sloppy. Nitecore NU25 is way better and 1/2 the price.

2. Changed from the Marmot Hydrogen to the UGQ Bandit 10F, but realized that it was way too warm for the summer so got a used HG Econ Burrow 30F that I use for most of my trips.

0 after another UL guy I met said my pack was too big. I originally looked at other packs, but they just didn't fit. The Ohm 2.0 fits perfectly (I spent a while looking for good fitting) and I think it's a good balance between weight and capacity

Got into the UL game this year and made a bunch of changes based on my needs. Based a lot of my gear from big thru hiker names like Darwin and Dixie, while pulling ideas from Kraig Adams. 

I'm hoping to learn about what changes everyone made to their gear list this year. I think it'd be cool to post your lighterpack, location, and what gear changes you made, and why.

-a good quality cooler, or two. I have gone to a two cooler system, one for food and one for beverages. Not saying a Yeti is a must, but you generally get what you pay for. 

-a quality headlamp. I have been through several and my latest is a Petzl Actik core. It’s a little pricey but well worth it. 

Hey all! My boyfriend's birthday is coming up, and I really want to get him like a starter kit for camping. He's been talking about always wanting to go camping, and I have a lot of experience doing multi-day hike/camping trips, so I thought it would be fun to meet in the middle and hopefully go car camping a few times this spring/summer/fall. 

I'm wondering what the best gifts to get him would be - budget is around $150-$200. I'm thinking a 3-4 person tent we could use, plus a sleeping bag and sleeping pad. For the tent, it seems like it's no frills but the golden standard is the Coleman Sundome, so likely going with that. Curious if you all have any recommendations for a sleeping bag/pad (we're in the Northeast and neither of us LOVE cold weather, so likely not going to be camping in cold temps any time soon)? And if I were to add on some other small stuff - what do you all think would be fun and useful? I'm thinking things like a solar lantern or folding chairs or cooking equipment - probably nothing TOO rustic knowing him. :D

Camping "Starter Kit"

 I’ve never had it let me down and the headband still has plenty of “stretch” if it broke tomorrow I would buy a replacement. It has plenty of beam, red function, and it has a rechargeable pack. you can also slap 3 AAA batteries in it at go. Mine charges on micro usb

 It rides in the door pocket of my big truck unless I’m headed to the river or camping. It holds a charge for a couple weeks with my daily usage.

I stumbled here looking for a proper headlamp, stuck around and got hooked! I’m slowing learning and growing my collection.  

Now I’m looking forward to warmer weather and summer camping and looking for new additions. I’m just car camping/pop up camping so power isn’t an issue. Just looking for some fun I can take with me.

So, what do you take for your trips?

 Yes, I plug it into the computer to re-charge and that does work okay. I am using this on a daily basis. Perhaps I am a hardcore user. As of February I have used this every day for early morning runs and walks

 Perhaps I am a hardcore user. As of February I have used this every day for early morning runs and walks. So far holding up great & very reliable. Update after about a year and a half: the headlamp has performed well up to now

 This one needs some improvements. First, the directions are so minimal, they need to give more info to buyers. Second, the on-off switch on the top is not the easiest to use, needs re-engineering to put it on the side and make not as hard to push in. Last, would have been real nice to have with it a way to re-charge on 110v
