The new generation of the compact Fenix HL16 headlamp delivers up to 450 lumens (ANSI) and range up to 104 meters. Power is provided by three commercially available disposable AAA batteries. The light source is a state-of-the-art LED Luminus SST-20 with white light tint, which is housed in the main reflector. The red LED Everlight 2835 is used for additional illumination. A total of 6 power modes are available, including an SOS flash mode for emergency situations. The headlamp is fitted with a wide comfortable strap. The strap is perforated for fast sweat wicking and has reflective elements to ensure good passive visibility when running on the road. Weighing just 61 grams (without batteries), the Fenix HL16 serves well as a running headlamp as well as a headlamp for camping, hiking and other outdoor activities. With a choice of several colors and a reasonable price, the HL16 is also great for kids.
