- Category: Fenix Head Torches
The Fenix HM23 V2.0 is a compact AA-powered head torch that can also be removed from its holder and used as a right-angle handheld light. Its 300-lumen white beam reaches up to 88 metres, while a two-way body clip and magnetic tail provide useful hands-free mounting away from the headband. Powered by one replaceable AA battery, it is a practical choice for work, travel and outdoor activities where readily available batteries are preferred.

Three White Outputs For Everyday Use
The 300-lumen high setting provides the reach needed for route finding, checking outdoor areas and identifying obstacles further ahead. Medium offers a more economical 50-lumen output for walking and general tasks, while the 3-lumen low setting gives gentle close-range illumination with a runtime of up to 100 hours from the supplied alkaline battery.
This straightforward range of outputs makes the HM23 V2.0 particularly useful as an everyday head torch or dependable backup light. The large side switch keeps operation simple, without requiring the wearer to navigate an unnecessarily complicated selection of modes.
Red Light With Direct Access
The red light can be accessed directly while the head torch is switched off, avoiding the burst of glare caused by cycling through the white-light settings first. Its 5-lumen constant output is useful for reading, checking equipment and moving around a tent or shared working area while reducing disruption to night-adjusted vision.
The flashing red mode can serve as a visible location marker or help attract attention when required. Separate memory for the white and red groups recalls the last output used, making it quicker to return to a preferred setting.
Four Practical Ways To Use The Light
The lamp clips securely into the headband holder for conventional hands-free lighting and can be tilted through 150 degrees to position the beam precisely. This allows it to illuminate the ground while walking, point further ahead or focus on a close working area without repeatedly adjusting the headband.
Removing the lamp from its holder turns it into a compact right-angle handheld torch. The two-way body clip can secure it to a pocket, belt, bag strap or compatible equipment, while the magnetic tail attaches to suitable steel surfaces when both hands are needed for maintenance, inspection or repair work.
Simple And Widely Available AA Power
One AA alkaline battery is included, so a replacement can be purchased easily and fitted immediately without waiting for the head torch to recharge. Compatible AA Ni-MH batteries can also be used when a reusable power source is preferred.
The HM23 V2.0 also accepts a Fenix ARB-L14-U series 1.5V rechargeable battery, including the ARB-L14-2200U used for the alternative runtimes shown above. These batteries contain their own charging connection and must be removed from the head torch for charging.
Please note: The HM23 V2.0 has no charging port and does not charge batteries internally. Do not use conventional 3.6V or 3.7V 14500 Li-ion batteries. Their higher voltage exceeds the lamp’s specification and can cause permanent damage.
Lockout And Battery Protection
An electronic lockout prevents accidental activation while the head torch is being carried in a bag, pocket or equipment case. Reverse-polarity protection guards against the battery being inserted incorrectly, while a low-voltage warning signals when the fitted battery needs replacing or recharging.
Lightweight And Built For Difficult Conditions
The aluminium-alloy body combines low weight with excellent durability and heat dissipation. At 86.3g including the supplied battery and headband, it remains comfortable for walking, camping and longer periods of work.
IP68 protection makes the HM23 V2.0 dustproof and waterproof to a depth of two metres, while two-metre impact resistance provides additional protection against accidental drops. Its operating range of -35°C to 45°C makes it suitable for demanding outdoor conditions throughout the year.
