Fenix WH35RE rechargeable headlamp, 280 lm, black
The Fenix WH35RE is a safe work headlamp for explosive environments, designed for various areas with a risk of explosion, except for underground mines. It is equipped with ATEX/IECex certification. It offers a maximum output of 280 lumens and is powered by one specially modified Li-ion battery ARB-L21-3000Ex with a capacity of 3000 mAh (included), which is recharged directly in the lamp via a modern USB-C connector. The practicality of the headlamp is increased by the ability to remove the light from the head mount and use it as a pocket or work light.
