Brilliant film, I did look forward to a Halloween film from you guys and it hasn't disappointed!! 👏👏👏👏

[Jon-hbgx]

Great video! I lrefer the standard UT27 which lasts about 6 hours on 400 lumens (or something like that). These headtorches are so light - fair play Nitecore!

Cracking vid... had to watch it in the daylight or it would have been too scary ;)

As to the torch... I love the simplicity of the battery up front design. I use a petzl swift and actik for that reason but if they failed i would be tempted by this option.

I feel mixed about the update.The battery pack is the same, a quick look and i can't find if the bulbs are the same, so the update becomes mostly about mapping the Duration vs Output? 

I like that they have matched up the 2 lights sources (Yellow/white) with matching outputs, the old version was more complicated so this makes it easier to plan your run time BUT boosting the middle power option to 280 from 200 and therefore reducing the runtime from 8hrs to 5.5hrs would potentially be a problem for me.
If for example looking at the Arc/Spine etc you would now either have to run at 100 lumen OR accept the need to swap batteries to run it at 280.

Not sure how I feel about it... but thankfully I don't need to make the spend at the moment. :)

Cracking vid though guys... lots of fun and nightmares :)

An update yes, but wouldnt call this an upgrade from the original. I prefer burntime over lumens

[konrad]

Which do you like better UT27 or Fenix HM65r v2?

[guzgrant]

My original version of this has just the other day broken .
So this updated version or the Fenix HL32 as a replacement for my daily dark morning hour runs ?

[Manuel_]

Good morning. Happy Halloween, Loyd. Here is my Like.

[slavasss]

So you can use either warm light OR white light ( left or right lamp)...and turbo mode is when you use both? Not understood the modes...

[Flight-of-Life]

I bought myself a rechargeable bicycle light that clips on. I attach it to my waist strap of my running pack. Works like a charm and gives me extra light by my feet

[briantierney]

Always interesting whatyou film at Halloween time

[sandratormey]

Brilliant as ever Loyd😂😂😂. You and Steve crack me up - loved the outtake!

[tonyd]

Brilliant, you should be on the big screen buddy 🙌

[kophotography]

So if I am am 3ft 3inches tool and my head torch falls off my head, it should be okay given the 1m drop resistance....Really... Get a mouse case on it then throw it of the Google building. that what I say

[richardbruce]

Great video, how would you compare the Fenix HM65R-T against the Nitecore

[williamhansen]

Thank you kindly for the good video, how would this light compare to the fenix hl32r-t 800?

[patoflaherty]

Love it ! Do you prefer a head torch over a chest one ?

[tonypotter]

Hope you made it out of the woods ok?!🫣
