Official Swiss dealer for Fenix and Nitecore, shipped from Switzerland with no customs fees
A headlamp shines wherever you look and keeps both hands free – trail running and jogging, hiking, at camp, in the workshop or on a rescue mission. Summer time ends in the night to Sunday, 25 October 2026. From then on it gets dark an hour earlier in the evening, and your after-work run or the walk home from a hike more often falls into dusk.
At Swiss-Sale.ch you will find around 30 LED headlamps from Fenix, Nitecore and LEDX Lights: lightweight models with AAA batteries, rechargeable headlamps with USB-C, headlamps with red light and professional models up to 4'000 lumens. Our buying guide helps you find the right headlamp for your activity.
When running, a secure fit, low weight and controls you can operate on the move matter most. The Fenix HL18R-T V2.0 and Fenix HL32R-T (800 lumens each) are light companions for your evening run. For long night runs, the Fenix HM65R-T V2.0 offers 1'600 lumens, 170 m beam distance and white plus warm white light at 140 g. The Fenix HP12R-T with 1'300 lumens carries its 4'000 mAh battery at the back of the head and has a red rear light so you are seen from behind.
For hikes and multi-day tours, a balanced headlamp with a long runtime on medium output is ideal. The Fenix HM50R V2.0 (700 lumens, 115 m) and the Fenix HL45R (1'000 lumens, stepless focus) are typical all-rounders; the HL45R also runs on 3 AAA batteries. For reading in the tent the lowest levels are enough – which saves battery.
If you need to see far, for example on ski tours, off the trail or in forestry, headlamps from 2'000 lumens are the right class. The Fenix HM65R V2.0 delivers 2'200 lumens and 230 m beam distance; spot and flood can be switched separately or together. The LEDX Snok 2000 X-Pand lights up a wide field of view with 2'000 lumens and a beam angle of 13° to 84°, with the battery pack separate from the lamp.
For trades and industry, floodlight, high colour rendering and a mounting option beyond the headband are practical. The Fenix HM61R V3.0 combines spot, high-CRI floodlight and red light with up to 1'800 lumens; detached, it becomes a flashlight with a magnetic tail cap. In potentially explosive areas you need a certified lamp: the Fenix WH35RE is ATEX and IECEx approved for zones 1, 2, 21 and 22, delivers 280 lumens and has a helmet mounting hook.
For your emergency pack or duty kit, red light, simple operation and a reliable power supply count. The Nitecore HA27UHE (800 lumens, three white tones plus red light) runs on the HLB1500 battery or on 3 AAA batteries via the MBC10 holder – so you do not depend on a power socket alone. The Fenix HM53R with 1'200 lumens and two red LEDs also accepts CR123A batteries besides the supplied 18350 battery and has a magnetic tail.
The Fenix HP35R-SAR is built for search and rescue teams: 4'000 lumens, spot, flood and combined modes, two integrated 5'000 mAh batteries with power bank function, a flame-retardant headband and a mount for many helmet types. The red warning light on the battery box makes you visible from behind.
As a backup in your backpack, for camp or the emergency kit, a simple headlamp is enough. The Fenix HL16 (450 lumens) runs on 3 AAA batteries, which are included, and weighs 97.2 g including batteries. The Fenix HM23 V2.0 (300 lumens, AA battery or 14500 rechargeable) can be detached and used as a small flashlight.
More lumens are not automatically better: at close range too much light dazzles, and the highest level drains the battery fast. These guide values help you choose:
| Light output | Typical use | Examples in our range |
|---|---|---|
| up to 500 lumens | Tent, camp, emergency kit, hazardous areas | Fenix WH35RE (280 lm), HM23 V2.0 (300 lm), HL16 (450 lm) |
| 500 to 1'000 lumens | Hiking, jogging, trekking | Fenix HM50R V2.0 (700 lm), HL18R-T V2.0 (800 lm), Nitecore HA27UHE (800 lm) |
| 1'000 to 1'800 lumens | Trail running, mountain sports, work | Fenix HM53R (1'200 lm), HP12R-T (1'300 lm), HM65R-T V2.0 (1'600 lm), HM61R V3.0 (1'800 lm) |
| 2'000 to 2'700 lumens | Ski touring, forestry, professional use | LEDX Snok 2000 X-Pand (2'000 lm), Fenix HM65R V2.0 (2'200 lm), HM71R (2'700 lm) |
| 4'000 lumens | Search and rescue | Fenix HP35R, HP35R-SAR |
Lumens describe the total amount of light; the beam distance in metres shows how far the beam reaches. Many models automatically step down from the highest level when they get warm, the Fenix HM53R and HM65R V2.0 for example from 55 °C. In everyday use you will mostly use the medium levels.
Red light dazzles less and preserves your dark adaptation: when you switch it off, you see in the dark again more quickly. That is useful for reading maps, watching the night sky, in the tent and at camp, where you do not want to dazzle others. Not every headlamp has red light – the Fenix HM65R-T V2.0, for instance, uses white and warm white light.
You charge a rechargeable headlamp via USB-C from a power adapter, power bank or computer – ideal if you use it often. Batteries can be bought anywhere, which makes them strong for emergency kits and travel. With a dual-fuel model such as the Nitecore HA27UHE or the Fenix HL45R you get both: the rechargeable battery for everyday use, AAA batteries as a backup.
Fenix makes up most of our range. The HM series runs from the HM23 V2.0 to the HM71R with 2'700 lumens, the HL series includes sporty models such as the HL16, HL18R-T V2.0, HL32R-T and HL45R, and the HP series powerful models such as the HP12R-T, HP16R and HP35R. They are joined by the HM65R V2.0, the HM61R V3.0, the HM53R, the HP35R-SAR for search and rescue and the explosion-proof WH35RE. Swiss-Sale.ch is an official Swiss dealer for Fenix. You will find all models under Fenix headlamps, and more about the brand on the Fenix brand page.
From Nitecore we stock the HA27UHE: 800 lumens, three selectable white tones from 3'000 to 6'500 K, red light and dual-fuel operation with battery or AAA batteries at 75 g (without battery and headband). Swiss-Sale.ch is an official Swiss dealer for Nitecore. Browse Nitecore headlamps and the Nitecore brand page with flashlights and power banks.
LEDX Lights from Sweden builds high-performance headlamps with a separate battery pack. On the Snok 2000 X-Pand, lamp and head mount together put 125 g on your head; the battery pack with capacity indicator and red rear lights sits separately. Browse LEDX headlamps.
As a Swiss specialist retailer we ship from Switzerland with no customs fees and handle warranty claims for you. Fenix and Nitecore headlamps are usually in stock in Menzingen; if a model is not available, the shop shows «sold out» or a longer delivery time. You can see the current delivery time directly on the product. Collection or viewing by appointment. Also see: flashlights and camping lamps.
It depends on the use. For tent, camp and emergency kits 100 to 300 lumens are enough; for hiking and jogging 500 to 1'000 lumens is a good range. For trail running off-road, mountain sports and work 1'000 to 2'000 lumens make sense; for search and rescue there are models with 4'000 lumens such as the Fenix HP35R. Many models step down from the highest level when they get warm; in everyday use you mostly use the medium levels.
Red light dazzles less and preserves your dark adaptation: after switching off, you see in the dark again more quickly. It is suited to reading maps, stargazing, the tent and camp, where you do not want to dazzle others.
You charge a USB-C headlamp from a power adapter, power bank or computer – practical if you use it regularly. Batteries can be bought anywhere; they suit emergency kits and travel. Some models take both: the Fenix HL18R-T V2.0 and HL45R run on the supplied battery or on 3 AAA batteries, and the Nitecore HA27UHE also takes 3 AAA via the MBC10 holder. The Fenix HL16 runs on 3 AAA batteries or NiMH rechargeables.
A stable fit, low weight and simple controls are key. The Fenix HL18R-T V2.0 (800 lumens, up to 125 m) with SPORT headband and the Fenix HL32R-T (800 lumens, 107 g) suit jogging and trails. For long night runs there is the Fenix HM65R-T V2.0 with 1'600 lumens and 140 g, and the Fenix HP12R-T with 1'300 lumens, battery at the back of the head and red rear light.
It depends on what you need it for. For bright red light at close range, the Fenix HM65R V2.0 offers up to 140 lumens in three levels plus a flashing mode. The Nitecore HA27UHE has a main and an auxiliary red LED with 15 and 5 lumens, the Fenix HM53R two separate red LEDs. To be seen from behind, the Fenix HP12R-T and HP35R as well as the LEDX Snok 2000 X-Pand have a red light on the battery pack.
Robustness shows in housing, protection rating and drop height. Many Fenix models such as the HM61R V3.0, HM65R V2.0 or HM71R are IP68 dustproof and waterproof and drop-proof from 2 m; the HM65R V2.0 has a magnesium alloy housing. The Fenix HP35R is IP66 rated and also 2 m drop-proof, the Nitecore HA27UHE IPX6 and 1 m drop-proof. The LEDX Snok 2000 X-Pand has an IP65 aluminium housing.
The first digit stands for protection against dust, the second for protection against water; an X means dust protection was not tested. IPX6 and IP66 protect against powerful water jets and therefore heavy rain, and IP66 is also dustproof. IP68 means dustproof and protected during continuous submersion, on many Fenix models down to 2 m. IP65 protects against water jets from any direction.
Only a headlamp certified for it. The Fenix WH35RE is ATEX and IECEx approved for gas zones 1 and 2 and dust zones 21 and 22. It delivers 280 lumens, reaches up to 21 m, is IP66 rated and can be operated with gloves.
With the battery at the back of the head, the weight is better balanced and the lamp presses less on your forehead – comfortable on long missions. Examples are the Fenix HP12R-T, the Fenix HP35R with two 5'000 mAh batteries and the LEDX Snok 2000 X-Pand. With its power bank function the HP35R can also charge a phone, GPS or radio.
That depends heavily on the level. The Fenix HM65R V2.0 runs for up to 296 hours on the lowest flood level with 5 lumens, and about 3 hours 40 minutes on the highest level with 2'200 lumens. The Fenix HL18R-T V2.0 reaches up to 160 hours, the Fenix HM53R up to 135 hours. Runtimes per level are listed on each product page.
The HM series covers versatile headlamps for outdoor and work, often with spot and flood and partly detachable as a flashlight. The HL series stands for compact models for sport and leisure, several of them also running on AAA batteries. On HP models such as the HP12R-T and HP35R, the battery sits in its own housing at the back of the head. The WH series is designed for work, and the WH35RE is explosion-proof.
