The Fenix WH23R is a rechargeable work headlamp that can be switched on and off with a wave of the hand when the motion sensor is activated. The rotary switch lets you choose a focused beam, a wide floodlight or both at once. Combined mode delivers up to 600 lm and reaches up to 100 m. Suitable for Maintaining cars and machinery Installation and repair work while wearing gloves Inspecting storage spaces, attics and utility rooms Work that requires both hands to be free Tasks while camping or travelling along a dark road Why choose the Fenix WH23R? The motion sensor lets you control the light without touching the switch. The rotary switch can also be used while wearing gloves. The floodlight and focused beam can be used separately or together. An indicator with four blue LEDs helps you monitor the battery level. The ventilated headband is practical for longer jobs. Technical specifications Manufacturer: Fenix Model: WH23R Light sources: 2 × Lumileds LED Focused beam, low: 30 lm, up to 26 m, up to 35 hours and 57 minutes Focused beam, medium: 120 lm, up to 53 m, up to 9 hours and 32 minutes Focused beam, high: 300 lm, up to 84 m, up to 6 hours and 19 minutes Floodlight, low: 5 lm, up to 5 m, up to 150 hours Floodlight, medium: 70 lm, up to 17 m, up to 15 hours and 36 minutes Floodlight, high: 300 lm, up to 35 m, up to 6 hours and 13 minutes Combined light: 600 lm, up to 100 m, up to 3 hours and 49 minutes Battery: built-in 3.7 V / 2000 mAh lithium-polymer battery Charging: USB-C Charging time: approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes with a 5 V / 2 A adapter Sensor range: approximately 10 cm in front of the lamp Housing: polycarbonate Protection rating: IP66 Dimensions: 86.45 × 45 × 43.72 mm Weight: 115 g including battery runtimes for the high modes include an automatic reduction in light output when the lamp heats up. Included Fenix WH23R headlamp with headband USB-C charging cable User manual and warranty card Frequently asked questions How do I control the WH23R with a hand wave? When the lamp is on and the blue sensor indicator is lit, wave your hand in front of the lamp at a distance of approximately 10 cm. A second wave turns the light back on. Can the motion sensor be turned off? Yes. With the lamp on, hold down the electronic button for about 1.2 seconds. The blue sensor indicator will go out, and the lamp can then be controlled manually. Which mode delivers 600 lm? Combined mode delivers 600 lm, with the focused beam and floodlight operating at the same time. When is the Fenix WH23R the right choice? The WH23R is suitable for work where the light needs to be switched on and off frequently and gloves or hands may be dirty. If you want to leave a light on one work surface for a longer time while you move around, a magnetic work light is a better choice. We recommend Before starting work, try the hand-wave control while wearing the same gloves you will use for the job. The sensor's response distance may depend on the glove material and ambient light. In a very confined space where hands or parts are constantly moving close to the lamp, you can turn off the sensor and use the rotary switch. This keeps the selected light on steadily while you work. At a workbench or electrical cabinet, start with the floodlight so you can see both your hands and the surrounding area at once. Choose the focused beam to look at a walkway or equipment farther away. Use combined mode when you need to see both near and far at the same time. When you finish work, turn the switch to the OFF position and check the battery indicator before your next shift. A work headlamp that can also be controlled with a hand wave The Fenix WH23R leaves both hands free for tools and lets you choose between a floodlight and a focused beam. Hand-wave control is especially practical for tasks where reaching for the switch would interrupt your work.
