Fenix HL18R-T V2.0 (800 lumens)

How much light it gives at full power, for finding your way in the dark. 5: Does the job. Average for wild-camping gear.

Fenix gives 800 lumens on Turbo, but this torch's pages state no test standard, and its own runtime chart shows Turbo falling to about 420 lumens within the first few minutes. Fenix gives no figure for how long the 800 lumens holds, so it can't be shown to last 1 minute. The highest levels the chart shows holding well past a minute are about 420 lumens (Turbo after the drop) and 350 lumens (High): the 300–499 band. 1lumen measured 746 lumens at 30 seconds and 397 lumens at 10 minutes, which agrees.

How long one charge or set of batteries lasts at a level you can walk and cook by. 9: Among the best you can buy for this.

Fenix gives 10 hours at 130 lumens (cool white Medium and warm white High) on its page and chart: the 10+ h band, right on its edge. Fenixlight UK says Fenix's runtimes are timed down to 10% of starting output, and the chart shows the output easing down over the final hours. 1lumen measured 9 h 34 min at that level, which would be band 4. Turbo (800 lumens) lasts 3 h 20 min on the chart, and Low (5 lumens, 160 hours) is under 80 lumens so it doesn't count.

How much it adds to your pack and your head. 5: Does the job. Average for wild-camping gear.

Fenix lists 103 g with the battery and headband, in the 90–109 g band.
