The Ledlenser HF6R Core offers numerous light modes and powerful luminous flux plus a focus wheel and a more powerful battery, among other things. However, if you want this, you have to accept more weight and a larger lamp.

The HF6 offers a lot of light for little money, plus a zoomable light image. It is a good, inexpensive choice for hiking fans, but not everyone is convinced by the light image.

The HF6R is the only one tested that offers a continuously zoomable light cone. Although the newcomer is heavy on the head, it impresses with plenty of light.
