Product Information

Full details

The Fenix HL32R-T is an ultra-lightweight headlamp designed for trail runners seeking adaptive illumination. Its key benefit is the intelligent frequency sensor that automatically adjusts light output to match running pace, ensuring optimal visibility. A potential caveat is its reliance on a specific Li-Poly battery, though it also offers AAA battery flexibility. This headlamp features dual beams (main and flood), multiple brightness settings up to 800 lumens, USB-C recharging, a BOA headband for a secure fit, and a durable magnesium alloy casing.

FAQs

How long does the rechargeable battery last on a full charge?

Battery life varies depending on the brightness mode used. For example, on the lowest setting, it can last up to 75 hours, while on the highest main beam setting (800 lumens), it lasts approximately 3 hours.

Can I use the headlamp while it is charging?

Yes, the Fenix HL32R-T can be used while charging via the USB-C port.

What is the range of the main beam?

The main beam can reach up to 132 meters.

How do I activate the pace-sensing feature?

The pace-sensing feature is automatically engaged when the headlamp detects a running cadence between 150 and 220 strides per minute. There is no manual activation button for this specific feature; it responds dynamically.

Is the headlamp waterproof?

The headlamp is IP66 weatherproof, meaning it is protected against dust ingress and powerful water jets from any direction. It is not designed for submersion.

What is the warranty period for the Fenix HL32R-T?

Fenix typically offers a limited lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects. Please refer to the official Fenix warranty documentation for specific details.

Can the headband be replaced if damaged?

While the BOA system is designed for durability, replacement parts for the headband may be available through Fenix or authorized dealers if needed.

Troubleshooting

Headlamp does not turn on.

Ensure the battery is correctly inserted and charged (if using the Li-Poly battery) or fresh (if using AAA batteries). Check the battery contacts for dirt or corrosion.

Light output is dim or flickering.

The battery may be low. Recharge the Li-Poly battery or replace the AAA batteries. Ensure the headlamp is not overheating; if so, allow it to cool down. Clean the lens and any potential obstructions.

Pace-sensing feature is not adjusting light.

Verify that the pace-sensing mode is activated. Ensure the headlamp is securely positioned on your head and the stride rate falls within the 150-220 strides per minute range for activation.

Headlamp not charging.

Check that the USB-C cable is securely connected to both the headlamp and the power source. Try a different USB-C cable and power source. Ensure the charging port is clean and dry.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Initial Setup:

  1. Insert the 1900 mAh Li-Poly battery into the designated compartment, ensuring correct polarity.
  2. Alternatively, insert 3 x AAA batteries, observing polarity.
  3. Connect the USB-C cable to the charging port on the headlamp and a suitable power source to charge the Li-Poly battery (approx. 3 hours for a full charge).
  4. Adjust the BOA system by turning the dial until the headband is snug but comfortable.

Compatibility:

  • The headlamp is compatible with the included 1900 mAh Li-Poly battery or 3 x AAA alkaline, Ni-MH, or lithium batteries.
  • USB-C charging cable is required (not included if using AAA batteries for charging).

Care Instructions:

  • Periodically clean the lens with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive materials.
  • Wipe the casing and headband with a slightly damp cloth. Allow to air dry completely.
  • Store in a cool, dry place when not in use. Remove batteries if storing for an extended period.
  • Ensure the USB-C port is free of debris before charging.
  • Do not attempt to disassemble the headlamp, as this will void the warranty.
