This is already my third flashlight from this company and, as before, I am not disappointed. The Fenix brand really offers solid products, and the assortment is large enough that everyone will find something for themselves. The Fenix HM23 V2.0, using AAA batteries or a 1.5V AAA rechargeable, is simply a must-have in your EDC kit. The flashlight is small and ergonomic, and the headband is designed in such a way that it really takes up little space in your waist bag. In medium mode, combined with the headband, the flashlight will work in 95% of cases where you need a light source. The maximum mode also delivers when you need a momentary boost.

Overall, the flashlight is solid and performed well on a mountain trip. Its only drawback is that the highest mode turns off by itself after about 3 minutes and cannot be turned on again. When turned on again, the same thing happens: it shines strongly for about 1 minute and then switches to the medium mode. Replacing the battery did not help.

This is already my next Fenix that I bought. I chose this model after a previous positive experience with the brand. I was not disappointed. A small, practical headlamp with the option of using it as a traditional one. Very good price-to-quality ratio.

Really nice flashlight - high quality, convenient, and quite simple to operate. At home during power outages, I most often use the medium setting – at 50 lumens, which has a rather wide beam, but it doesn’t blind you. The magnetic tail’s potential is fully revealed with this G-shaped flashlight design – it's very handy in certain situations. A separate game changer here could be the new AA Li-Ion 1.5V battery format with a built-in Type-C port – low weight, huge capacity around 2500mAh, and fast charging makes it one of the most versatile EDCs. For cons, I would note the extra 10 grams of weight (the head of the flashlight is a bit heavy) compared to my E12 V2 – that’s probably it. No complaints about the SST20 diode – it hardly heats up, has low power consumption, and excellent runtime. If you’re looking for greenish tints – yes, you’ll find them (especially in direct comparison with a Cree-based flashlight), but on the second mode you don’t notice them, and on the third mode they’re gone. I’m OK with it, it’s just a feature of these really energy-efficient Luminus diodes, and if you have doubts – better check tests and reviews before purchasing. Separately, I’ll add that Fenix flashlights often remind me of jewelry in terms of manufacturing quality – sometimes you just want to look at the flashlight during the day ). Thanks for the good price and quality delivery.

Very good product. Made without any complaints. Simple operation. An angle flashlight with the possibility of use as a headlamp is the perfect solution. The light beam is really very good. So far I have used LOW - 3 lumens. It's fully sufficient for 2 meters. For precise handwork, the MED mode - 50 lumens is enough. For me, the biggest advantage of this flashlight is the power supply - 1 AA battery. You can buy it almost anywhere. I am independent of chargers. Shipping from militaria.pl was super fast. From placing the order to delivery to the parcel locker, less than 24 hours. I recommend both the flashlight and the militaria.pl store.

Great flashlight, very light and not much bigger than the battery itself. Easy operation and a comfortable strap. My second Fenix product, high quality.
