    Count on Fenix to innovate. As a large, global manufacturer of illumination tools, they leverage deep pockets, industry insight, and can flex some pretty big R&D muscles to design and develop new lights, and improve on existing models. I\u2019ve reviewed no less than four second, and even a third edition flashlight from Fenix<\/strong>, so yah, they keep getting better and better. Fresh off the pretty awesome Fenix HM70R headlamp, it\u2019s on to another one from the orange and black camp, and this one\u2019s a doozy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Today we\u2019ll be taking a look at the newest member of the HM7xx series professional-use headlamp segment, and it sort of occupies a smallish corner of the headlamp space. Known as the HM71R, this is a brand-new headlamp from Fenix, and it\u2019s sporting some great specs, with the short list including a special, never-before-seen-in-a-headlamp LED, simple UI, rock-solid ruggedized construction, 21700 size battery, and a stout magnetic tailcap. It\u2019s a totally different animal than the HM70R, and is stacking up to be an incredibly handy unit. Let\u2019s see!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Package quality.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

    The HM71R comes in a nearly identical package as the Fenix HM70R<\/a>. It\u2019s a compact, rectangular box, good for retail with a hang tag, in the familiar Fenix-centric orange and black color scheme. Like the HM70R, this one\u2019s also made from thin film plastic, so it\u2019s pretty shiny and sturdy. The headlamp comes assembled and connected to the headband mount, with the battery inside the tube. Here\u2019s what you get:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
