Fenix PD36R Pro

Incredible construction quality, it has nice heft, but it's compact so it's not clunky. Fits perfectly on the outside of my pocket with the clip, and has excellent feel in my hand. Carrying it properly (overhand), you have easy access to the buttons on the back, which make a satisfying clicking sound when you press them, but which are also difficult to accidentally press. Only issue is the case that it comes with, it is a mild nuisance to put it back in, but you don't necessarily have to use the case if you don't want. Functionality-wise, this is a huge winner. Battery being USB-C rechargable is a huge plus. First time charging it, it took around 2-3 hours to charge, and that was a week ago, and I haven't even run halfway through the battery I don't think. It is also easily the most powerful flashlight I've ever owned, I was not prepared for the highest setting, and not only is it bright enough to light up a room easily if you wanted to do that, but it casts for a very long distance. Overall, pretty espensive at 120 USD, but it is such a well designed and high performing flashlight, that I think it's going to be worth every penny. At this price, hoping it gives me at least 5 years of EDC use, and I would he extremely happy with this purchase.

I love flashlights and this is a great one. These are very powerful flashlights that fit easily in the hand, and do not require fumbling around to find the two control buttons, as both are in the end cap, are large and easily distinguished . The two button arrangement makes it very easy to turn on and select the power level you want. The two lowest powers are both useful and do not seem to drain the battery very quickly. We live in an area with many animals, and the higher powers pick up reflections from eyes in the forest if you hold the device close to your own eyes. The highest power is stunning, but caution is needed. It would be dangerous store this device in a way the buttons might accidentally be pushed, and not be noticed, such as in a backpack. At high power, a great deal of heat is generated very quickly, and I have little doubt that it could damage plastics or paper next to the light if left on for more than a few seconds. The USB C charging connection is very convenient. It charges surprisingly fast. The rubber cover for the charging port seems a bit fragile, but I have had no problems with it so far. The belt holster is necessary and adequate. I would not carry the device in a pants pocket.

This little monster throws powerful beams that come in handy in a hundred ways. It fits in a pocket and holds its charge a long time. Totally worth the price.

I had the older model 12 years old with almost daily use as part of an EDC that was probably somewhere around 1000 lumens. I literally used that one as a hammer more times than I can count. Outside of breaking the glass on it (still use it to this day without issues and in the wet), its been perfect. This replacement seems every bit as durable, has a larger battery, and is substantially brighter in a side by side. It is a bit larger then the old one. But easily fits in the little side pockets of carpenter style pants. All light functions are on the tail cap. On, off, and dim modes. This thing absolutely gets very hot when on for a while! Power of the sun in the palm of your hand! It is to be expected and on cold dark days when working outside, a brief period of warmth in your hand is awesome!

Great so far. I’ve only had it for approximately 2 weeks. I carry it on my belt at work. The light modes are nice and it’s convenient to be able to adjust modes on the fly with the secondary switch which is one of the main reasons I chose this model. It is small compared to other duty sized lights but still performs well. The beam I have mixed feelings about. It is brighter towards the middle with a dimmer outer illumination. So at farther distances the light isn’t evenly distributed outwards. Also, the holster it comes with is complete junk. It’ll work but do yourself a favor and buy a good quality holster. All and all the light itself seems to be high quality and functions well. Time will tell.

I needed a new light since my kids have been breaking the cheaper ones I've had. Finally I decided to pony up and buy a nice tactical light and I had 3 criteria. 1) Bright 2) Durable 3) Rechargeable. There's a lot of high end manufactures and there's twice as many knockoff brands. I bought this on a whim and charged it up when I received it. It was less than 50% charge when I received it and it took probably around 2 hours to charge it to full. The manual states that it takes around 3 hours to fully charge the battery from a low charge. There's a strobe tap feature and if you use the other button it has a tap feature as well or an "on" position. While it's on you can use the strobe button to cycle through 5 brightness levels. The lowest one is pretty dim to where I don't see a practical use for it. The highest setting "Turbo" is bright and the manual says that it should last almost 1hr 45mins on the highest setting. But here's the issue.... using the flashlight for a few minutes the light emitting end gets SUPER hot! The manual states that once it gets to a certain temperature it will cycle to a lower brightness level. But using it with my bare hands I wouldn't really want to hold it for long since the heat creeps up the handle. Knowing this is a tactical flashlight I would assume most users would be wearing gloves and I love the brightness of the light but I had to deduct a star due to the heat. It's bright so that's #1, I read from others that their flashlight takes a beating and keeps on ticking so that's #2 and it has a rechargeable 21700 battery so there's #3. So all in total I would give this a 4.5 * rating.

I have an older version of this as well that is 1000 lumens and this one is for sure brighter. The pass through charging is awesome compared to the older model where I always have to take the battery out to charge. But that comes at the cost of another port that could allow liquid through, if you operate in those conditions.

I own a Fenix PD35 2020 edition and it has held up amazingly but I wanted an upgrade. This is an upgrade for sure. Pros: Extremely bright, has a nice hotspot and outer light edge. Rear has dual buttons thats much better than the shaft button (like on PD35) so no accidental strobe triggers USB-C charging with waterproof port Cons: This thing is about 1.5x bigger in width than the PD35. (This isn't really a con to me but was a surprise when I got it out of the box) It is not an 18650 (does come with its own battery) - Sorry 18650 users Overall thoughts: Well worth the money. VERY sturdy build like all Fenix products and I have had no issues so far. Very happy!

Nicht ganz günstig, aber jeden Cent wert. Ich habe genau diese Lampe aufgrund mehrerer übereinstimmender Renzensionen von Security-Leuten gekauft, die jeden Tag mit diesen Lampen zu tun haben. Viele Hersteller / Anbieter übertreffen sich gegenseitig mit aberwitzigen Lumen-Werten ihrer Lampen. Ein simpler Test im stockfinsteren Wald bringt im wahrsten Sinne Licht in die Sache. Diese Lampe hier ist richtig hell im Vergleich zu angeblich lumenstärkeren Konkurrenten. Auch die Verarbeitung, Bedienung und Haptik sind 1A. Klare Empfehlung.

De las mejores que he visto, una pasada.

The brightness level is as advertised. The lite appears very well made and is easy to use. I have never had a lite with the options to increase the lite intensity, as this one is. If you are into flashlites, this is a good one to have

Great product the choice of different brightnesses is a fantastic feature, I keep it in my car for the convenience. I will order another for the home

Second time purchase, same model. I really like the way of built. Super durable.
