Best Overall Headlamp
Fenix Rechargeable Headlamp
According to Family Handyman’s Ethan O’Donnell, the Fenix HM65R is the nicest headlamp he’s ever used. It features two ultra-bright lights that emit up to 1,400 lumens of neutral white light. The spotlight and the flood light are independently controlled and powered by a rechargeable battery.
The magnesium alloy body weighs less than aluminum, but still resists impact. It’s also waterproof up to a depth of six feet. As a bonus, if you misplace your USB charging cord or don’t have access to an electrical outlet, the headlamp can also run off two CR123a single-use, primary batteries in a pinch.
