Fenix HT30R: the High-performance Laser Flashlight
The Fenix HT30R (HT30R) released in 2022. It uses 10W LEP, LEP reflector and 1 x 21700 Li-Ion battery. The powerful emitter in this flashlight provides up to 500 lm output, 600000 cd intensity, and a beam distance of 1549 m.
This flashlight has a wide range of applications across various domains. It is an indispensable tool for outdoor activities like camping, hiking, or night-time exploration, offering guidance and safety. It uses Laser Excited Phosphor (LEP) instead of LED technology. It is an innovative lighting technology that has gained attention in recent years. This light has 2 modes of lighting. The memory function is a nice feature, the light will remember the last used mode.
It has a strobe function, which is one of the most effective self defense tools available. This USB rechargeable flashlight eliminates the need for disposable batteries, offering a more eco-friendly and cost-effective solution.

Launch | 2022 |
Form | flashlight |
The HT30R flashlight offers precise and focused illumination. Unlike ambient or overhead lighting sources, flashlights allow you to direct the light exactly where you need it.
Body
Weight | 264 g |
---|---|
Length | 179 mm |
Body diameter | 26 mm |
Head diameter | 40 mm |
Material | aluminium alloy with HAIII hard-anodized finish |
Colors | black |
The 264 g flashlight would be considered moderately heavy for a handheld flashlight. The weight may provide advantages like increased durability or the ability to house larger batteries for longer runtime. The length of the HT30R flashlight can affect its portability. A shorter flashlight is generally easier to carry in a pocket, bag, or pouch, making it more convenient for everyday use or when you're on the go.
The aluminium body of HT30R has excellent thermal conductivity, meaning it can effectively dissipate heat generated by the flashlight's components, such as the LED or battery. The HAIII coating often has a matte or textured finish, which enhances grip and provides a comfortable feel in the hand. This can be particularly useful in situations where a secure grip on the flashlight is essential, such as in wet or slippery conditions. The HT30R flashlight is offered in a stylish black color.
System

Color temperature | 6500 K |
Reflector | LEP |
Lens | toughtened AR coated glass |
Switch | mechanical rear, mode switch rear |
The LEP is a new technology in flashlights. It uses Laser Excited Phosphor to create a very thin but very far throwing beam. Color temperature is a characteristic of light. It is measured in units called Kelvin (K) and is used to quantify the color appearance of light sources, particularly white light. The AR coating reduces the loss of light due to reflections, allowing more light to pass through the lens. This can increase the overall brightness and efficiency of the HT30R flashlight.
The multiple switch configuration on the HT30R flashlight can be a useful option, providing additional versatility and convenience in operating the flashlight. The HT30R has mechanical switch. Mechanical switches are known for their durability and reliability. They are typically built with robust construction, making them resistant to wear and tear, and capable of enduring various environmental conditions. The rear switch of HT30R is typically operated with the thumb or finger, making it easily accessible and convenient to use. The positioning of the switch at the rear of the flashlight allows for natural and intuitive operation, particularly in one-handed scenarios.
Performance
Flux | 500 lm |
---|---|
Intensity | 600000 cd |
Throw | 1549 m |
CD/LM factor | 1200 |
500 lm can provide a decent amount of brightness and be suitable for many everyday tasks, it may not be sufficient for certain scenarios or individuals with specific requirements. 600000 cd represents an extraordinarily high level of brightness. The throw is the calculated distance in meters at which the flashlight produces a light intensity of 0.25 lux. Candela per lumen (cd/lm) is a measure of a flashlight's beam intensity relative to its total luminous flux or output. It quantifies the concentration of light emitted by the flashlight in relation to the total amount of light produced.
Software
Modes | 2 modes |
---|---|
Mode memory | yes |
Ramping mode | no |
Strobe | yes |
SOS/Beacon | no |
Modes on a flashlight refer to different output settings or levels of brightness that can be selected to suit different needs and preferences. The HT30R has mode memory. Mode memory means that the flashlight will remember the mode you were using when the light was last turned off, and when you turn it on again. The HT30R is tactical strobe ready. The strobe light is disorienting to the person it is aimed at which makes it difficult for them to concentrate.

The Fenix HT30R flashlight is powered by 1 x 21700 Li-Ion battery. The battery indicator lets you know when the battery is low, charging, or fully charged. The USB charger port on a flashlight can be particularly useful in emergency situations where access to power outlets may be limited. This flashlight has a built-in low voltage protection (LVP) to prevent damage to the cell from over-discharge, so protected cells are not necessary.
The built-in thermal control automatically adjusts brightness output to prevent overheating. The "6" in the IP68 rating represents the level of protection against solid objects, specifically dust and foreign particles. It indicates that the HT30R flashlight, is fully protected against the entry of dust and other solid objects. The "8" in the IP68 rating indicates the highest level of protection against water ingress. It is important to consider the impact resistance rating when selecting a flashlight, especially if you anticipate using it in situations where accidental drops or impacts are likely to occur.
Accessories
Package contents | 2 x spare o-rings ARB-L21-5000 V2.0 battery USB Type-C cable holster lanyard |
---|
It comes with a battery. The battery must be fully charged before you first use your HT30R. The holster provides a reliable and convenient way to keep your flashlight securely protected when not in use. The lanyard prevents accidental loss of the flashlight. Instead of searching for compatible O-rings or waiting for replacements to arrive, having spare O-rings readily available allows for convenient and immediate repairs or replacements.
The performance of the Fenix HT30R flashlight is measured according to the ANSI / NEMA FL1 Standard 30 seconds after switching the light on. The ANSI/NEMA FL1 2009 Standard is a set of flashlight performance guidelines.
The specifications above are based on the official data published by the manufacturer, but we also take user reviews into consideration. If you found an error or something lacking in the specifications above for the Fenix HT30R, then don’t hesite and signal the problem to us.
