The Fenix HL17R is a compact rechargeable clip-on flashlight delivering up to 500 lumens and a beam distance of 100 metres. Its magnetic quick-release design allows it to be used as a right-angle light or attached to clothing and metal surfaces. In addition to white light, it offers red, blue and full-colour lighting modes.
The Fenix HL17R is a compact yet versatile light designed for everyday use, camping, hiking and situations where hands-free illumination is useful. Its maximum output of 500 lumens and beam distance of 100 metres provide impressive performance in a small package. White light is available in four brightness levels, while five additional scene lighting effects include red and blue emergency signalling and a rotating colour wheel mode. The magnetic quick-release system allows the light to be transformed from a right-angle flashlight into a clip-on light in seconds. The included body clip and mounting base let you attach it to clothing, such as the chest area, hold it in your hand or secure it to a metal surface as a work light. The directional, rotatable mount makes it easy to adjust the lighting angle. The gesture-sensing function allows the light to be switched on and off with a wave of the hand. Two electronic switches and a rotating light ring provide convenient one-handed operation, even when wearing gloves. The built-in 1000 mAh battery has a charge level indicator and low-voltage warning. In Eco mode, the runtime reaches up to 96 hours and 50 minutes.
