The Fenix HL18R-T V2.0 is a rechargeable headlamp designed for runners, hikers, and hands-on work in low-light conditions. It delivers up to 800 lumens and a 410-foot (125-meter) beam distance, powered by the included 1900mAh Li-Ion battery pack or three AAA batteries as a backup. One variant is available.
Ten Modes, Two Light Colors, One Red
The HL18R-T V2.0 offers ten lighting modes across three light types: four levels of cool white, four levels of warm white, red, and red SOS. Cool white suits distance tasks and trail navigation; warm white is easier on the eyes for close work and reading. The red and red SOS modes preserve night vision and serve as a distress signal when needed. Top-mounted dual buttons let you switch modes without removing the headlamp or fumbling for a side switch.
Secure Fit for Active Use
The two-way SPORT Headband Fit System holds the headlamp in place during movement. A rotary dial adjusts tension quickly without stopping to re-thread a strap. The system accommodates the headlamp both upright and tilted, so it works over a hat brim or directly on the head. At 0.4 lb with the battery pack, the HL18R-T V2.0 stays light enough for extended runs or multi-hour work sessions.
Flexible Power, Accidental-Activation Lock
USB-C charging means the HL18R-T V2.0 can top up from a power bank, car charger, or wall adapter without a proprietary cable. When AAA batteries are the only option available, the headlamp accepts three of them directly. A lockout slide switch disables the buttons during storage or transport, preventing the battery from draining in a pack or pocket.

Who This Is For and Isn't
The HL18R-T V2.0 suits runners, trail users, campers, and anyone who needs a lightweight, hands-free light source for active or task-oriented use. The dual-power system makes it a practical choice when USB charging is available most of the time but AAA backup matters on longer trips.
The HL18R-T V2.0 carries no stated IP water-resistance rating and should not be treated as waterproof or used in submersion. It is not a ballistic or protective product and carries no armor or protection rating of any kind.
Common Questions
What is the maximum brightness of the Fenix HL18R-T V2.0?
The Fenix HL18R-T V2.0 reaches a maximum output of 800 lumens when powered by the included 1900mAh rechargeable Li-Ion battery pack. Maximum output is the highest of the ten available modes; lower brightness levels extend runtime. The beam reaches up to 410 feet (125 meters) at peak output.
Can the HL18R-T V2.0 run on regular batteries if the rechargeable pack is depleted?
Yes. The Fenix HL18R-T V2.0 accepts three standard AAA batteries as an alternative to the included rechargeable Li-Ion pack. This makes it practical for extended trips where USB charging may not be available. Swap the power source as needed without tools.
How does the lockout switch work on the HL18R-T V2.0?
The Fenix HL18R-T V2.0 includes a lockout slide switch that disables the top dual buttons when engaged. With the lockout active, the headlamp cannot be switched on accidentally during storage in a bag or pack, preventing unintended battery drain before use.
What does the two-way SPORT headband system mean for fit?
The Fenix HL18R-T V2.0 uses a two-way SPORT Headband Fit System, meaning the headlamp can be worn in two orientations to suit different head sizes or hat configurations. A rotary dial adjusts strap tension for a secure fit without stopping to re-thread the band.
What charging cable does the HL18R-T V2.0 use?
The Fenix HL18R-T V2.0 charges via USB-C, a widely available connector compatible with most modern power banks, wall adapters, and car chargers. No proprietary cable is required. Whether a USB-C cable ships in the box is not stated in the available product data.

The Bulletproof Zone Promise
When you buy body armor, you're buying your safety. We don't take that lightly. Here's what every order from Bulletproof Zone includes.
1. Authorized dealer of every brand we carry
Every plate, vest, and carrier we ship comes from the manufacturer directly to our warehouse. We don't sell gray-market product, surplus, or returns. That means factory-fresh stock, the full manufacturer warranty, and real after-sale support — the kind only an authorized dealer can offer.
We maintain authorized-dealer relationships with America's leading body armor brands, including Spartan Armor Systems, AR500 Armor, RMA Defense, Shellback Tactical, Caliber Armor, DFNDR Armor, Protection Group Denmark, BulletSafe, BulletBlocker, and over 40 more.
2. Best price, guaranteed
If you find a lower price at another authorized dealer of the same product within six months of your purchase, we'll refund the difference.
Why the "authorized dealer" requirement? Because gray-market and surplus armor may not be genuine, may have a compromised supply chain, and almost never comes with a manufacturer warranty. We won't price-match against products that may not actually protect you.
3. Free fitment consultation
Body armor only protects you if it fits. Email us a photo and your measurements before you order, and one of our specialists will help you size your carrier and plates correctly — at no charge, no obligation.
4. Trusted by thousands of customers
Bulletproof Zone has been a trusted authorized dealer of America's leading body armor manufacturers for over five years. We have over 4,000 verified Trustpilot reviews from real customers across all 50 states.
Price Match Guarantee — Terms

- Discounted items and "free with purchase" items are not eligible.
- The item must be in stock on the competitor's website at the time of your request.

- The competitor must be an authorized dealer of the product. Auction sites (eBay, Overstock), discounters, and gray-market resellers do not qualify.

To request a price match, email us a link to the product on our site and the same product on the competitor's site within six months of purchase. We'll process the refund.
