Fenix PD36R V2.0 1700 Lumen Rechargeable Flashlight, USB-C Tactical Duty Light with Battery, and LumenTac Organizer

Fenix PD36R 1600 Lumen USB-C Rechargeable Tactical Flashlight. UPDATE - 2nd Still like a new flashlight. UPDATE -11 MONTHS Still functions like new. Best flashlight purchase ever. I love flashlights - don't know why. I attach a lanyard to each new one and string it from a peg hanger with all the others. I like being able to instantly grab one, race outside and blast light on something needing immediate attention. And I want to see very well when the object is close, the far side of the lawn or across the street. I HATE clicking a flashlight and getting very dim or no light at all when new batteries were added a few weeks earlier. This is the best I've used. I received it July 1 and it took longer than I expected for a 1st time charge - maybe a couple of days. But the brightness and distance are amazing. The Fenix website says the turbo setting output is 1600 lumens at just over 900 feet - I haven't measured but that seems right. it is very bright. Per Fenix, it’s waterproof for 30 mins under water 6 feet deep and drop proof from 5 feet. I've used it a number of times at turbo - and for about 45 mins on a middle setting and the battery indicator shows still strong. The body does get hot quickly on turbo – but that’s normal LED heat dissipation in aluminum. The one thing I’d like it doesn’t have is a turbo brightness setting with a very narrow beam. But this is my first Fenix and I’ll look for that next time. I highly recommend this one.

I've been using this for about three years now in a Paramedic/LE capacity. If I could give 6 stars I would. This light is compact and easily fits into my pocket, so much so that I forget it's there. I work nights so this gets use every single shift, and I only have to charge it once every 4 months or so. I've dropped this thing on hard concrete more times than I can count and haven't had an issue other than a few nicks and dings. Also, given the nature of my job it is often exposed to harsh weather and still keeps chugging along.

I use this flashlight a lot! I like to take walks early in the day, often before first light, and I take this with me to watch for wildlife (we have rattlers and other grumpy critters), and flick it on to light the ground where I'm walking if a car approaches, so they can see me. It has four brightnesses, and the brightest setting I refer to as "light saber mode" because it's brighter than the headlights on my car-- at least it lights up objects farther down the road. Also very handy around the house, where the dimmer settings are just fine. It's a nice size for my hand and the carrying case is stout and secures the light inside. The light's construction is sturdy-- I've dropped it quite a few times and it doesn't seem to notice. I have to be careful where I set it down though-- it's color and small size makes it easy to misplace.

This flashlight is a smart and practical tool for nighttime dog walks. It helps you: Spot potential hazards like uneven sidewalks, glass, or holes. Avoid other animals—whether it's stray dogs, raccoons, or skunks. Stay visible to cars and cyclists, especially if you're near roads. Feel more secure, especially in dimly lit or wooded areas.

Alright, I use this everyday for work and this flashlight is hands down incredible. The battery last forever I can go at minimum a full week on one charge and when I do charge it, it doesn’t take long to achieve a full charge. The button on the side that controls brightness is nice but takes some getting used to. The holster sucks but honestly I didn’t buy it for the holster. All in all a great flashlight that I recommended to anyone working security or even law enforcement

I bought this flashlight mostly to be a self-defense weapon that I can carry anywhere, including in a medical office setting. I also wanted one that was useful for other lighting tasks. So, I needed something really powerful, that can fit in a dress shirt pocket, and not look too much like a weapon. High lumens are important, but not the only factor that makes a flashlight effective for self defense. It also needs to focus the light into a bright spot. This light has a smooth deep reflector that does just that. The spot is also wide enough to cover an attacker's entire visual field. The color of the light adds to its intensity. The length is not too long, and not too short. If stand the light straight up in my shirt pocket, it does protrude above the pocket a little. If I let it slip diagonally, It is pretty much concealed, and no one has commented on it. When I grasp it in my palm, it extends an inch and a half from the side of my hand. That is the perfect size for a striking weapon. It's a pretty light, with the smooth black finish and gold side switch. It has a serrated bezel that makes it an effective striking or scraping weapon. It does not have aggressive crenellation, that can ruin a pocket or scare the staff if pull it out for other uses. The knurling consists of horizontal grooves, which is the most effective pattern to prevent it from slipping out of my hand if I do strike with it. A classic recommendation for a self defense flashlight is that the operation is simple, and it will turn on at the greatest intensity, with a focused spot and not accidentally slip into non fighting modes like SOS or low light. One strategy is a light that only has one mode, and no variable focus. Then the light is only effective for self dense or seeing long distances. Other lights have multiple modes, and come on at the brightest mode, but if you hit the switch again, it will switch to the lowest intensity. Some lights have complicated programs, to make it turn on and stay in the desired mode. This light simply turns on in the mode it was last on, and unless you hit the side switch, it will not go into other modes. If you hold the side switch down, It will go into an irregular strobe pattern that is really disorienting. Boy, this has been a long review. I hope it is useful to someone.

Amazing light, it’s so powerful and durable yet compact. I bought it after thorough review of product specs and feedback. I love this lamp!

Klein, stark, handlich. Zuerst war ich überrascht, wie klein die Lampe ist, aber dann restlos von der Leistung überzeugt. Der Lichtstrahl ist etwas breiter, daher leuchtet sie nicht so weit und so grell wie andere Lampen, dafür hat sie aber eine sehr schöne Ausleuchtung der Umgebung und ein angenehmes Licht. Ideal für Wanderungen und bei Reparaturen. Was nutzt mir 400 m Reichweite, wenn der Strahl nur blendet und einen Leuchtkreis von 2-3 m abdeckt?

Funktioniert sehr gut. Gibt sehr helles Licht.

Gute Leuchtkraft und sehr robust, jedoch nicht preiswert..

I've heard about this light and decided to try it. I'm definitely pleased with it. My only complaint is that to enter strobe mode, the light already has to be turned on. Otherwise an excellent product.
