I also ordered an HS40 with an 18350 short tube and two 18350 batteries. The HS40 is more expensive but looks well reviewed on 1Lumen. Even picked as the best budget light for 2024.
I am concerned about the weight of the 18650 battery on my head, which is why I went with the short tube option. Many places online saying it ships with the short tube included, but I added one to my order just in case.
When it arrives I'll have to compare it to my Petzl Tikkina's.
Edit: Sofirn contacted me after placing my order and told me the short tube was out of stock. It's not clear if it comes with one by default (mixed reports of this) or if they intended for the HS40 to even use the 18350 short tube.
Kind of a bummer since I think the 18650 battery will be rather heavy for a headlamp. I'll probably see if I can pick up a short tube elsewhere. Website says delivery takes 14-28 days.

Less weight is nice and less tiring but you give up runtime and lumens. Small is better sometimes and other times not but again you give up runtime and lumens.
Having said that I actually think the HS10 is nicer in fit, finish and build and kind of screams quality more than the H25LR does. I have a larger 18650 headlight of similar fit and finish but am switching out to the HS10 as I like the light weight. The other light is just as good or better at some things but not as good when considering weight and size.
The H25LR is still nice but not as polished. Another thing to consider is that the H25LR is heavier and bulkier but has much longer runtimes and higher lumen output with added benefit of the a red mode. I do believe that the H25LR is not even a true Sofirn product as it is listed under the Non- Sofirn section of their website. None of that does means it is not be a good product and still may be the better light for your particular use. The choice is yours. You can see plenty of videos and reviews of both models on Youtube.

it's on sale at Amazon right now. I was looking at this op post because it resembles the x1000.
Maybe someone else has posted the x1000 deal already
