With a blazing 600-lumen output from its Cree XP-G3 LED, the HL-600R Owl cuts through darkness up to 100 meters—making it the hands-free lighting solution for trail runners, mechanics, and night-shift workers who demand reliability.

Overview

The everActive HL-600R Owl is a rugged, rechargeable headlamp built around a single high-performance Cree XP-G3 white LED and two auxiliary red SMD LEDs. Its aluminum alloy head houses precision optics, while the ABS body keeps weight low.
