The Fenix HM23 would be a better fit since it's smaller, lighter, less complex, not crazy bright, and 1/2 the money.



Bought one last night, forgot to apply my darn discount code, oops.

They just emailed me back they are honoring the discount and I don't cancel and reorder or anything. Yea.
Have you received it? IF so, what are your impressions?


It actually came earlier than expected, but I didn't open it until last night.

Very impressed. Super light (both meanings). I wore it for an hour as a comfort test even though I only needed it for 15 minutes.

The light is great for working on things close up, but the dispersion is way to wide for something where you'd need a long throw. Effective range <50'.

Perfect for what the OP asked about though and this will now me my tinkering around the house and grilling light. I'll stick to the big boy I listed at beginning of the thread for work, but this would serve 80%+ of my work needs as well.

Hard to not give this an A or five stars or 9/10. Now to see if it lives up to the great claims it lists for run times.


Don't make fun of my gourmet dinner. No kitchen so I grilled some frozen fish patties and made fish sandwiches. Can't wait for work to slow down or to find a good drywall guy to get this thing ready for cabinets and the rest.


Did the light auto dim at any point? Some of the Amazon reviews complained about that.


Not that I noticed. Didn't have it on for extended time. It's bigger brother does lower from Turbo after 10 min or so.
