Frequently asked questions

How do I control the WH23R with a hand wave?

When the lamp is on and the blue sensor indicator is lit, wave your hand in front of the lamp at a distance of approximately 10 cm. A second wave turns the light back on.

Can the motion sensor be turned off?

Yes. With the lamp on, hold down the electronic button for about 1.2 seconds. The blue sensor indicator will go out, and the lamp can then be controlled manually.

Which mode delivers 600 lm?

Combined mode delivers 600 lm, with the focused beam and floodlight operating at the same time.

When is the Fenix WH23R the right choice?

The WH23R is suitable for work where the light needs to be switched on and off frequently and gloves or hands may be dirty. If you want to leave a light on one work surface for a longer time while you move around, a magnetic work light is a better choice.

We recommend

Before starting work, try the hand-wave control while wearing the same gloves you will use for the job. The sensor's response distance may depend on the glove material and ambient light. In a very confined space where hands or parts are constantly moving close to the lamp, you can turn off the sensor and use the rotary switch. This keeps the selected light on steadily while you work.

At a workbench or electrical cabinet, start with the floodlight so you can see both your hands and the surrounding area at once. Choose the focused beam to look at a walkway or equipment farther away. Use combined mode when you need to see both near and far at the same time. When you finish work, turn the switch to the OFF position and check the battery indicator before your next shift.

A work headlamp that can also be controlled with a hand wave

The Fenix WH23R leaves both hands free for tools and lets you choose between a floodlight and a focused beam. Hand-wave control is especially practical for tasks where reaching for the switch would interrupt your work.
