Almost a year after the review of HR06 , I was unexpectedly contacted by a company manager and offered to review an updated version HR06S, where, they say, all issues were fixed. After 4 months, the headlight has been received, though already HR10. Apparently this is some kind of late prototype, used and with an incomplete set. There is no information about it on the site yet, but pictures can be found at facebook .
SPECIFICATION
The only available source of information is instruction.
PACKAGE
.
Complectation: flashlight, clip, forehead mount, gopro mount, used battery, charging cable.
APPEARANCE
The same 4 eyes . TIRs are without protective glasses.
There is tripod mount.
Tail cap from HR06
The charging port is the same as in HR06
Top strap added to the mount.
Holder is oversized.
Gopro mount does not fit well.
The clip quality is good.
HR10 has the same dumb nut instead of a spring. Work with unprotected batteries is impossible. Headlamp turn off from any movement. With protected 18650 weak strike is enough to turn off.
Positive contact now lies simply along the wall of the battery compartment without any insulation.
The thread is good, trapezoidal.
There is no waterproofing. Both the port and the optics of the diodes are perfectly breathable. Even IPx6 is too optimistic.
Weight and dimensions
The mass of the flashlight with mount, but without battery - 101.8g (HR06 - 103.7g , Panda 3R - 100.6)
Length 78мм as HR06, height 35mm, width 37.5mm.
OPERATION
A short press from off - on the memorized type of light in the memorized mode, except for the moonlight
Hold from off - moonlight, if you continue to hold - cycle: moonlight /fast strobe /slow strobe. The type of light is the memorized.
Double click from off - turbo main diode.
Triple click from off - battery charge check </ i>: 1-5 flashes.
Five-click - lock \ unlock. </ i>
A short press from on - turn off with memorizing, except moonlight.
Hold from on - changing modes in a circle. Moonlight cycle: moonlight/fast strobe/slow strobe . For the main diode low/med/hi-. For auxiliary led: low/hi.
Double click from on - changing the type of light. Main/green/flood/red.
Triple click from the main modes - red and green flasher.
Finally there is an unusual feature.
4 * click from on - turn on the tilt sensor </ i>. Turning the flashlight on 90 degree clockwise and back switches the mode. Two consecutive turns on 90 degree and back switch the type of light.
With a headlamp on your head, this can be done easily, but why?
The issues I found:
1) Memorization of turbo.
2)Strobes after the moonlight.
3) Long way to red moonlight from main led.
4) Turbo can not be turned on without turning off the headlamp.
MODES
Currents in modes:
main LED - 3.3A, 1.1A, 410mA, 40mA, 1mA
Green - 480mA, 50mA, 2mA
Flood - 440mA, 45mA, 2mA
Red - 380mA, 35mA, 2mA
Lumens at modes (approximately measured)
main LED - 20-230-500-1000lm (Заявленные 1000-500-200-25-2)
Flood - 15- 170lm (40 –150)
This is almost as declared
Turbo is limited to 70sec . In maximum mode, the lamp heats up to 40C
Auxiliary diodes are also stabilized.
Batteries in the HR10 are discharge to 2.5V, which is acceptable for many batteries. Below 2.8V, it starts flashing once every 3 minutes indicating a discharge.
Charging
Battery included is Sanyo 18650GA with protection.
Charger have not changed since the HR06. The only difference is a more strond magnet in the cable.
The charging current is only 0.5A. Charging time is about 8 hours. The lamp can work without battery from charger, the maximum current consumption is 0.65A.
The charge indicator is red during charging and green when charging finished.
Light
There are XML2 for the main light, XPG3 for the flood, XPE2 for red and green .
Main light
CCT = 5380K (Duv 0.0124)
Color Rendering Index (Ra) = 69.5
R1 = 64.6 R2 = 73.7 R3 = 81.1 R4 = 69.1 R5 = 65.8 R6 = 64.3 R7 = 82.2
R8 = 55.0 R9 = –41.8 R10 = 38.5 R11 = 63.8 R12 = 37.3 R13 = 65.4 R14 = 90.3
Flood light
CCT = 4039K (Duv –0.0007)
Color Rendering Index (Ra) = 72.0
R1 = 70.5 R2 = 77.1 R3 = 81.9 R4 = 72.3 R5 = 69.8 R6 = 67.7 R7 = 80.4
R8 = 56.5 R9 = –20.4 R10 = 45.9 R11 = 68.0 R12 = 43.8 R13 = 70.5 R14 = 89.9
Green
Red
CRI is expectedly low. XPG3 gives color artifacts. XML2 is greenish.
Main light has 7kcd , or 170m ANSI. and 7cd/lm.
Flood light has 340cd 37m ANSI and 2cd/lm .

Disassembling
The head mounted on the 4 screws
Optics of auxiliary diodes. Frosted has o-ring, smooth has no o-ring.
A surprise inside - small flask with mercury, it is a tilt sensor.
It fell off quite easily during the disassembly process.
To remove the driver board you need to disassemble the charger side.
Now unscrewing the screws from the MCPCB and the driver we can remove the driver board.
Copper MCPCB is 15mm in diameter and 1mm thick.
As headlamp was already disassembled I decide to change leds:
Now Samsung 351D 4000k 90cri is flood led, and sst20 4000K 95 cri is main led.

Conclusion
In that model AngryFox took into account many issues of HR06, but many ather issues remains unfixed .
- No waterproofness
- Not stable work with unprotected 18650 and even with protected 18650.
- Holder that does not fix the position.
- Very slow charger.
- Operation issues
- Leds are not good
- Glass flask with mercury )
- Positive contact without insulation.
With such problems, $ 70 for HR10 is obviously too expensive.
I like the functionality of Hr10 it has many features like battery check, lockout , good stabilisation etcetera.
In general, HR06 looked like a joke, but Hr10 already looks like a headlamp, albeit with several issues.
