The Fenix HT30R rechargeable laser flashlight is one of the longest range tactical flashlights in this category. Its white laser light creates an extremely focused beam that is capable of reaching distances of up to 1500 meters, and the light output is up to 500 lumens (ANSI). The light source is a white laser with LEP (laser excited phosphor) technology, which is primarily known for its use in the automotive industry, in the most luxurious cars. A 21700 type Li-ion battery with a capacity of 5000 mAh was used for the power supply (included in the package), which can be charged via the USB-C connector built directly under the thread of the lamp head. The flashlight is completely waterproof and dustproof according to the IP68 standard (tested underwater at a depth of 2 meters). If necessary, you can also use an 18650 battery with an ALF-18 reduction (not part of the package). The flashlight has two types of white light output with an operating time of more than 7 hours, including stroboscopic flashing. The flashlight uses a dual tactical switch that allows for faster and more reliable control in crisis situations. For example, it can be quickly switched directly to strobe mode. The light is concentrated in a narrow beam, so all the light shines at a specific point, making the flashlight ideal for hunting and illuminating distant targets.
All flashlight parameters (luminous flux, battery life, waterproofness, range and shock resistance) are measured in accordance with ANSI/NEMA FL 1-2009.

Using the Fenix HT30R flashlight
From the factory, there may be an insulating cap on the battery inside the flashlight. Remove it from the battery pack before first use.
To turn on, press the larger tactical button located on the end of the flashlight, press the button for immediate activation. Press the adjacent toggle button to switch between power modes at any time during operation. To switch to flash mode with the flashlight on, hold the toggle button for approximately 0.5 seconds. To switch the flashlight directly into strobe mode, press and hold the toggle button.
Battery charge indication - Each time the flashlight is turned on, the indicator LED at the charging connector is activated for three seconds. Green flashing indicates 30-100% capacity. Red blinking indicates less than 30% battery capacity remaining (only works when using 21700 and 18650 Li-ion batteries).
Charging the flashlight - Unscrew the head of the flashlight, this will expose the USB-C charging connector. Plug the included USB-C cable into it and plug the other end into your computer, USB mains adapter or USB car adapter (not included). Alternatively, any mobile phone charger with a USB-C connector can be used for charging. During charging, the indicator LED next to the charging connector glows red, after a full charge it glows green. Charging a fully discharged battery takes about 3 hours. The Li-ion battery used does not suffer from a memory effect, so the flashlight can be recharged at any time. The flashlight cannot be switched on while charging.
Intelligent overheating protection - if the temperature of the flashlight rises above 60°C, it will automatically start to reduce the power in gradual steps.
Warning
- Use only high quality rechargeable Li-ion batteries with protective electronics.
- Insert batteries with the positive pole facing the flashlight head.
- If the protective rubber rings appear damaged after prolonged use, replace them. The rings should also be lubricated to prevent erosion of the rubber. By following these rules, the flashlight will be properly protected against water.
