The Fenix HM65R-DT Dual Spotlight Headlamp is a new version of the best-selling HM65R Headlamp that features dual spotlights-one spotlight of cool white light, for longer distances, and the other with a very warm 3000K light for better performance in foggy, poor weather conditions. HM65R-DT vs HM65R-T, is it better? Is it now the best running headlamp for ultra running?

I've used the R-T for over a year. A great headlamp with a few words of caution. First, the curved hard plastic that the band is attached to at the front of your head digs in and can get quite uncomfortable during long use unless I wear the proper buff. I have a thick-ish wool buff (quadrupled folded) that provides enough padding, but polyester buffs and thin running beanies don't work for me. Second, when you change batteries, you need to make sure to tighten the cap all the way, as well as check to see if the spring is not too compressed from use (need too stretch out the spring occasionally.) One time, the light seemed to be working, and then all of a sudden went out. It took me a while in the dark to figure out that the cap needed tightening. Third, (and this hasn't happened every time), I charged the battery overnight while still in the headlamp. The next morning, I turn it on when I start in the dark, and notice one bar, and say WTF! Luckily I had a spare charged battery. Not sure what happened. Anyway, it has served me well. The new one sounds really interesting with the warm spot. See you at NB100!

I put my hm65r-t on by bicycle helmet only to have a reason to buy the hm65r-dt Nebula! Its beautiful. I love the warm white, its better then ww on Olight Baton3ProMax, wich is too warm, like the old industrial bulbs.

@@tomaskroupakkfoto4132 no, i used 2 or 3 zipties. the problem was that i had to cut the plastic 'arms' of the flashlight to remove the band. meanwhile i reatached the band, put the arms together and use a LedLenser HF4R Work, it came with a helmet mounting bracket (with3M adhesive). On my other helmet i use a NitecoreNU25, also ziptied.

Thanks very much for this! I'm a bit confused, do you think it's worth the extra to get the R-DT over the R-T for the warm colours? I run along a river a lot which can get foggy/misty.

@UltraTrailSteven 9 ай бұрын

Well I haven’t been able to test the warm light in foggy conditions yet, but I could see how it would be helpful.

How long can you run the battery on the medium setting say for the more technical trails? Thanks!

@UltraTrailSteven 10 ай бұрын

white/cool medium is 400 lumens, and run time is stated as 12 hours.

I have owned two of the Fenix HM65R Head lights and there great for a while. But the switch got bad on both of them. I have to call FENIX and if they will fix it.

Were you glad to have this over the HL32R-T or do you think the HL32R-T would have been fine for Leadville as well?

@UltraTrailSteven 7 ай бұрын

Definitely glad to have this over the HL32R-T. The battery life is so much better on the HM65R-DT

@user-dd4cf8zz7k 7 ай бұрын

Really appreciate the quick response! I've got my first 100 mile race in 2024 and your review has helped helped narrow down which head torch I'll be going for. If you were choosing between the HM65R-DT & the HM65R-T which would be your pick? I know it boils down to personal preference, but curious of your POV since you've logged hours with them and have more experience on the trails.

@UltraTrailSteven 7 ай бұрын

I would pick the HM65R-DT. I like the dual lights and option to switch between warm and cool lighting depending on the conditions.

I can count on one hand the number of times I’ve used red light (outside of my time in the army of course), but no, there is no red light.

@@UltraTrailSteven for photographers this is a very handy feature. It is also useful when you go on a night hike and you do not want to attract nasty flying insects. This can become very annoying with bright light, just had it a couple of days ago. Last not least, the red light, including flashing, is a serious emergency feature that should be standard for any high-end head light. So all in all I am quite surprised Fenix left this feature of a few cents more out.
