Initial Charging:
Before first use, fully charge the headlamp. Connect the provided USB cable to the headlamp's USB-C input port and to a compatible USB power source (e.g., wall adapter, computer USB port). The charging indicator light will be red while charging and will turn green once fully charged. Ensure the headlamp is turned on to observe the charging indicator light, which is located near the switch.
Wearing and Adjustment:
The HL25 headlamp comes with a high-elastic headlamp belt designed for comfortable and secure fit. Adjust the straps to fit your head snugly. The headlamp also features a third strap over the top of the head for added stability, preventing it from sliding down during active use.

Zoom Function (Floodlight & Spotlight):
The HL25 headlamp features a mechanical zoom function. Rotate the barrel of the light to adjust the beam from a wide floodlight to a focused spotlight.
- Rotate Left: Illuminates a wide floodlight, suitable for lighting up large areas (e.g., over 60 square meters).
- Rotate Right: Illuminates a focused spotlight, capable of beaming light over 700 feet for long-range visibility.

4. Maintenance
Cleaning:
To clean the headlamp, gently wipe the exterior with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these may damage the surface or internal components. Ensure the charging port cover is securely closed before cleaning to prevent water ingress.
Battery Care:
The HL25 headlamp uses two integrated Lithium Polymer batteries. To prolong battery life:
- Charge the headlamp regularly, even if not in frequent use, to maintain battery health.
- Avoid completely draining the battery before recharging.
- Store the headlamp in a cool, dry place when not in use for extended periods.
Water Resistance:
The SuperFire HL25 headlamp is rated IP43 waterproof, meaning it is protected against water spray from any direction. This makes it suitable for use in various weather conditions, including rain and snow. However, it is not designed for submersion in water.

5. Troubleshooting
Light Not Turning On:
- Check Battery: Ensure the headlamp is sufficiently charged. Connect it to a power source and observe the charging indicator light.
- Power Button: Confirm you are pressing the correct power button firmly. Try holding it down for a few seconds to ensure it's not in a standby mode.
- Motion Sensor Mode: If the motion sensor mode was previously activated, try waving your hand in front of the sensor. If it turns on, deactivate the motion sensor mode by holding its button for 3 seconds.
Charging Issues:
- Cable Connection: Ensure the USB cable is securely connected to both the headlamp and the power source.
- Power Source: Try a different USB power adapter or USB port to rule out issues with the power source.
- Cable Integrity: Inspect the USB cable for any signs of damage. Try using a different USB-C cable if available.
Motion Sensor Not Responding:
- Activation: Ensure the motion sensor mode is properly activated (indicator light should be on). Press and hold the motion sensor button for 3 seconds to activate it.
- Obstructions: Ensure there are no obstructions in front of the motion sensor.
- Distance: Wave your hand within a reasonable distance (typically a few inches) from the sensor.
