Fenix HM55R Compact Rechargeable Headlamp (USB-C) - Nebula

Fenix HM55R Compact Rechargeable Headlamp (USB-C). The Fenix HM55R is a compact, lightweight headlamp designed for trail runners, outdoor enthusiasts, and professionals who demand reliable hands-free lighting. Modeled on the popular HM65R-T V2.0, this beautifully crafted headlamp combines high-strength aluminum construction with premium finishing to deliver exceptional performance in a portable package. The HM55R offers versatile lighting options including a powerful 1,200-lumen spotlight with 175-meter beam distance, a 350-lumen floodlight for close-range tasks, and dedicated red lighting modes for night vision preservation.

Built for serious outdoor use, the HM55R features intelligent safety systems including automatic proximity downshift that reduces brightness when the light head comes close to surfaces, preventing damage and burns. The headlamp's IP68 waterproof rating ensures reliable operation even when fully submersed up to 2 meters, while 2-meter impact resistance provides durability in challenging conditions. The breathable, detachable headband includes reflective strips for visibility and uses a wide design for comfortable extended wear during long activities.

Powered by an included 1,600mAh 18350 lithium battery, the HM55R provides impressive runtime with nearly 6 days of emergency operation on the lowest setting. Fast USB-C charging takes just 2.5 hours for a full charge, and the battery level indicator provides clear status monitoring. With intelligent memory functions, overheat protection, and tilt-adjustable positioning, the HM55R serves as an ideal primary light for shorter events or reliable backup for longer trail running adventures and outdoor activities.
