Hi team, can I get a recommendation for a head torch. That uses 18650 cells.
That can be focused to provide a 1m diameter of illumination
About 1m away? Lost my old ledlenser and can't afford another Thanks

I have the Fenix HM65R/T for night time trail running. Probably overkill for your use case of 1m away but most head torches that use 18650 cells will be larger torches with 900+ Lumens.

I also have a Fenix (HP30) headlamp with an external battery compartment that takes two 18650 cells.

It is old and doesn't appear to be sold anymore. I recall when I was looking to purchase a headlamp with a 18650 cell that they weren't all that common (this must be 8+ years ago).
