Our take on the Fenix HM50R V2.0 Rechargeable Headlamp

The Fenix HM50R V2.0 is a tiny, 2.75-ounce rechargeable headlamp built for hiking, running and camp chores. It puts out up to 700 lumens with a 115 m spot beam, runs up to 42 hours on low, and charges over USB-C with an on-board battery level indicator. It is waterproof, dustproof and rated to survive 6.5 ft drops. At $59.95 at Walmart as of November 3, 2026, it sits at the low end of its recent range, with three stores listing it new.

Best forBackpackers and thru-hikers counting ouncesTrail runners and night runnersCampers and car campers who want one light for everythingAnyone who wants USB-C charging instead of a proprietary cable
Pros
  • Very light at 2.75 oz and short at 2.52 in, so it barely bounces
  • USB-C charging with a battery level indicator
  • Up to 700 lumens and a 115 m spot beam for its size
  • Red light and red flash modes for night vision and signaling
  • Waterproof, dustproof and rated for 6.5 ft drops
  • Runs up to 42 hours on the lowest setting
Cons
  • Uses a 16340 cell, not the more common 18650 or AA
  • Spot beam with a 90-degree spread is less ideal for wide close-up work
  • 700 lumens is a burst mode; expect much lower output on long runs
  • Headband is basic and not the most comfortable over long hours

Questions and answers

Is the Fenix HM50R V2.0 worth it?
Yes for a light, bright, USB-C headlamp under $60. At $59.95 at Walmart as of November 3, 2026, it is near the bottom of its recent price range. If you need long runtime at high output, a bigger 18650 light is a better fit.
How does it compare to the original HM50R?
The V2.0 raises output to 700 lumens, adds USB-C charging and a battery level indicator, and keeps the same small body. It is a clear upgrade if you are coming from the first version.
How long does the battery last?
Up to 42 hours on the lowest mode and about 8 hours on medium. The 700-lumen burst drains the 16340 cell fast, so carry a spare on long nights.
What is in the box?
The headlamp, a 16340 rechargeable li-ion battery, a USB-C charging cable and a headband. Check the listing for the exact bundle before ordering.
Is it waterproof enough for rain and river crossings?
Yes. It is rated waterproof and dustproof and withstands 6.5 ft drops on all six sides, so rain and splashes are fine. Do not press the switch underwater.
When is it cheapest?
Prices cluster around $60, and $59.95 at Walmart as of November 3, 2026 is already at the low end. Watch for outdoor retailer sales in spring and around Black Friday for deeper cuts.
Where is the Fenix HM50R V2.0 Rechargeable Headlamp cheapest?
