The Fenix HP30R V2.0 is a very powerful LED headlamp with a light intensity of up to 3000 lumens and a range of 270 meters. That makes this the perfect headlamp for challenging outdoor trips. Hiking in the mountains, treks through the jungle or expeditions in the snow. But the Fenix HP30R V2.0 also holds its own in professional applications. Think of the fire brigade, police, defense and rescue workers.
The lamp head of the Fenix HP30R V2.0 contains three LEDs. Two LEDs for a wide beam at a short distance and one LED with a large reflector for the long distance. This allows you to choose the appropriate bundle for each situation. After all, you need less range in your tent in the pitch dark than when you climb a mountain path in the twilight.
Charging the Fenix HP30R V2.0
Ideal about the Fenix HP30R V2.0 is the fact that it is rechargeable. It draws its power from a separate battery pack that you can simply carry in your inner pocket or backpack with the long cable. This pack already contains two 21700 batteries as standard. So you don't have to buy it separately. You charge the battery pack with a commonly known micro USB cable. This is supplied as standard. It is also handy that you can use the battery pack in reverse as a power bank to charge your phone. So multifunctional! An additional advantage is that the largest weight of the headlamp is in the battery pack. Because you do not wear the pack on your head, it is less taxing on your neck muscles during prolonged use.
