Frequently asked questions

How do I turn on the HP12R-T rear red light?

Hold down the button on the battery pack for about half a second. Press briefly to choose between steady and flashing red light.

Which HP12R-T mode provides 1300 lm?

The headlamp achieves 1300 lm in combined Turbo mode, when the cool white and neutral white LEDs operate together.

Do the HP12R-T Red and Black have different light modes?

Both have the same light modes, including front and rear red lights. The versions differ in housing colour, product code and EAN.

When is the Fenix HP12R-T Red the right choice?

The HP12R-T Red is suitable for trail running if you want a headlamp with a rear battery pack, a separately controlled rear light and the option to combine two white light sources. For a work headlamp with a longer beam distance, consider the Fenix HP25R V2.0, which reaches up to 290 metres.

Our recommendation

Before your run, adjust the headlamp headband with the hat or headband you will wear on the trail. Take a few running steps and check that the rear battery pack stays in place. Secure the cable with the clips so it does not catch on your jacket collar or backpack strap. Aim the lamp head at the section of trail you will reach in the next few steps.

On an even trail, start with the 70 lm setting and increase the light for a more challenging descent or when looking for a distant trail marker. If you are sharing the trail with other runners, choose the steady or flashing rear red light as needed. Before a longer route, check the battery pack's charge indicator and practise finding both front buttons by touch. This lets you change the brightness without interrupting your stride.

Red headlamp for trail running and night hiking

The Fenix HP12R-T Red helps illuminate the trail ahead and provides a separate red light at the rear. The rear battery pack and two white light sources are suited to outings where lighting needs change along the trail.
