For the design of this head torch Fenix looked at the design of the classic photo camera. The position of the white LED light looks like the lens of an SLR camera and the control button on top might remind you of the shutter button of the same camera.

The great thing about the Fenix HL30 2018 is that each LED light has a specific control button. The right button for the white LED light with its five light modes and the left button for the red LED light and the flashing modes. In the highest mode the Fenix HL30 functions up to 30 hours with NiMH batteries. In the lowest mode it can last up to 200 hours. This Fenix HL30 works with two AA batteries. Two alkaline batteries are included, but it also works fine with the more sustainable NiMH batteries. These can be charged in a separate charger.
