Fenix Headtorches and Handheld Torches
Fenix is a precision lighting brand — Chinese-engineered, globally recognised, and used by search and rescue teams, law enforcement, and serious outdoor users worldwide. The Fenix range at Dwights covers headlamps from 600 to 4000 lumens and handheld torches from 500 to 21,000 lumens, all USB rechargeable.
Fenix headlamps are known for high output, long runtime, and durable construction — built to a higher specification than most consumer lighting brands. Their HM series headlamps and HL series headlamps are the core outdoor tramping and technical use models.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the best Fenix headlamp for NZ tramping?
The HM60R (1200 lm) or HM65R (1400 lm) are the strongest all-round Fenix headlamps for NZ tramping — high enough output for confident night navigation on NZ tracks, USB rechargeable, and built to a robust standard. The HL32R (600 lm) is a practical lighter option for trampers who mostly use their headlamp in camp and for short night sections rather than extended night travel. For hunting use, the HT series torches with longer throw are the right category.
Are Fenix torches good for NZ hunting?
Yes — Fenix's HT (Hunting Torch) series is purpose-built for game spotting with long throw and high output. The HT32R at 2500 lumens and the HT18R at 2800 lumens offer serious reach for scanning open country and bush edges at night. Fenix torches are also available with weapon-mount accessories (ALB-10 bicycle/weapon mount) for users who need hands-free torch attachment. Robust construction and USB rechargeability make Fenix a practical hunting torch brand for NZ backcountry use.
What's the difference between Fenix headlamp series (HL, HM, HP)?
HL (Headlamp) — general-purpose headlamps suited to tramping, running, and everyday outdoor use. Single head, front-facing beam. HM (Headlamp Compact) — similar purpose to HL but in a more compact, lighter form factor. Often preferred for running and fast-and-light use. HP (Headlamp Professional / Dual-Head) — dual-beam design with separate flood and spot heads, worn front and top. Provides simultaneous wide and narrow illumination for technical use. If you're tramping or hunting and want a single practical headlamp, the HM or HL series is the right starting point.
