Fenix HT18R V2.0 LED Flashlight

Fenix HT18R V2.0 – Next-Generation Professional Searchlight

The Fenix HT18R V2.0 represents a new generation of the legendary searchlight, raising performance to an even higher level. With an upgraded design and the latest Luminus SFT90 LED, it delivers an impressive maximum output of 3700 lumens while maintaining an outstanding beam distance of up to 1100 meters. This balance of raw power and precision ensures reliable illumination for exploration, search operations, and demanding field tasks.

The updated HT18R V2.0 not only increases brightness but also extends runtime and introduces new special modes such as Strobe, SOS, and Beacon. Enhanced ergonomics with a dual side switch improve usability. Built from durable T6061-T6 aircraft-grade aluminum and rated IP68 for water and dust resistance, the flashlight is engineered to perform in extreme conditions, including heavy rain, dust, and prolonged intensive use. It is designed for professionals and enthusiasts who require maximum reliability.

Key Features of the Fenix HT18R V2.0

• Increased maximum output of 3700 lumens (up from 2800 lumens), providing a brighter and wider beam.

• Maintained long-range performance of up to 1100 meters, now with greater illumination intensity.

• Extended runtime of up to 87 hours in Low mode (previously approximately 42 hours), ideal for multi-day use.

• Expanded special modes including Strobe, SOS, and the newly added Beacon mode for emergency signaling.

• Advanced temperature regulation system that stabilizes brightness during prolonged Turbo operation.

• Upgraded Fenix ARB-L21-6000 battery with higher capacity compared to earlier 21700 5000 mAh cells, ensuring improved performance and stability.

• Dual side switch with Instant Turbo and Instant Strobe for immediate activation.

• IP68 protection against water and dust, combined with a reinforced T6061-T6 aluminum body.

Enhanced Performance – 3700 Lumens and 1100 Meters of Reach

Compared to the previous HT18R generation, the V2.0 delivers up to 3700 lumens in Turbo mode. The Luminus SFT90 LED generates a powerful and focused beam capable of illuminating objects at distances up to 1100 meters. In practical use, this allows faster hazard detection, improved wildlife spotting, and accurate target identification in low-visibility conditions.

Users can select from four brightness levels: Turbo, High, Medium, and Low, along with three special modes: Strobe, SOS, and Beacon. This flexibility ensures appropriate lighting for any scenario, from maximum-range search operations to energy-efficient extended use and emergency signaling.

Comfortable Operation and Dependability in All Conditions

The Fenix HT18R V2.0 is engineered for intuitive use, even under pressure. It features a dual-switch system consisting of a tactical switch for instant Turbo activation and a rectangular function button for mode selection. This configuration allows quick access to essential functions without distraction.

The flashlight is fully waterproof and dustproof to IP68 standards and impact-resistant from heights of up to 1 meter. Its body is constructed from durable T6061-T6 aircraft aluminum with HAIII hard-anodized coating for superior scratch and wear resistance. It is built to withstand rain, mud, and demanding operational environments.

Modern Charging Solutions and Intelligent Protection

The V2.0 model supports fast charging via a USB-C port concealed beneath a sealed sliding cover to protect against dust and moisture. Using fast-charging technology, the included 21700 Fenix ARB-L21-6000 battery can be fully charged in approximately 1.5 hours.

A built-in battery level indicator activates when the flashlight is switched on, allowing users to monitor remaining power. The device includes overheating protection, over-discharge protection, and intelligent memory that recalls the last used brightness level (excluding special modes), ensuring the flashlight is ready exactly as expected.
