Fenix PD40R V2.0 handheld flashlight

Fenix has released a mechanical rotating flashlight of pocket format. This compact model generates a solid brightness of light, three thousand lumens maximum. The longest range is 405 meters. Five operating modes are available here, and USB Type-C can be used for recharging. Moreover, the charging port is protected against water ingress. The viewing angle reaches 65 degrees.

Due to the presence of a rotary mechanical switch, you can select the desired operating mode. The flashlight works thanks to a 5000 mAh battery, which is included with the copy. This is a 21700 lithium-ion battery, and it provides the product with such impressive power. It is also possible to use an 18650 battery by connecting it to the ALF-18 adapter. Protection against reverse polarity of the power supply cells is provided. It is recommended to use the Fenix ARB-L21 battery with the device.

You can place the flashlight vertically on its back, here the kit includes a strap and a clamp for fixation. A very convenient and portable EDC flashlight, which may be of particular interest to active people, tourists, travelers. Suitable for use both in urban conditions and in the field, during hikes, expeditions, outdoor activities. A small powerful device is always with you and at hand.

Let's talk about the model in more detail. The Luminus SST70 LED used in it. This is a durable diode, the service life of which reaches 50 thousand hours. The light is soft, balanced, pleasant to the eyes. Excellent overview of the surrounding space.

Lamp control

The lamp is controlled using a mechanical switch. To turn on the Fenix PD40 V2.0, you need to turn the switch to the right. To turn off, you need to turn the switch back, to the left. To select the mode, follow the sequence: off state Minimum Medium Maximum Turbo . To select Strobe mode, you need to turn the switch to the right all the way.

Model lighting modes

• Turbo. The highest brightness is 3000 lumens. The glow time is two hours and forty minutes, and the distance covered by the light beam is 405 meters.
• Maximum. The luminous flux reaches a value of 1000 lumens. The operating time is three hours and ten minutes, and the lighting distance is 230 meters.
• Medium. The lighting brightness is 350 lumens. The flashlight works in this mode for eight and a half hours. The light beam covers a distance of up to 137 meters.
• Minimal. Luminous flux thirty lumens. The PD40 V2.0 device is able to work for 88 hours 10 minutes. The distance that the light beam can cover is 45 meters.
• Finally, in Strobe mode, the luminous flux reaches 2500 lumens.

We emphasize that these parameters of the flashlight were obtained experimentally. Under certain conditions and physical parameters. An ARB-L21-5000 21700 lithium-ion battery was used, the temperature was 21 plus or minus three degrees Celsius. Ambient humidity from 50 to 80 percent. The flashlight's luminescence indicators may vary depending on the batteries used, as well as on external environmental conditions. The operating time of the device in Turbo mode is indicated in the sum, taking into account the fact that the brightness decreases when the heating protection is triggered.

Charge level indication

So that users always know what state the battery is in, a special charge level indication is provided. Every time the model is turned on, the charge level indicator next to the charging port shows the battery status for three seconds. Moreover, this option is activated only when using the Fenix ARB-L21-5000 21700 battery.

• Green light: the charge is from 100 to 85 percent.
• Blinking green: the charge is from 85 to 50 percent.
• Red light: the charge remains from 50 to 25 percent.
• If it blinks red, it means that the charge is critical. It has less than a quarter left.

If the battery voltage drops below the permissible limits, the brightness mode is automatically reduced. The device reaches the Minimum mode. It starts flashing red to notify the owner that the battery needs to be charged. When operating in Turbo mode, the case heats up quite a lot. When the temperature of the flashlight becomes more than 65 degrees, the automatic brightness reduction function is triggered. When the case cools down, the brightness gradually increases. This protective mechanism makes using the model even more convenient and enjoyable.

Physical parameters of the product

The weight of the flashlight is 117 grams, excluding batteries. Dimensions are: 138*33.2*26 millimeters. This is smaller than the dimensions of the iPhone 11 smartphone. The Fenix PD40 V2.0 case is made of durable A6061-T6 aluminum. This material is widely used in industry, in areas such as the production of heavy trucks, in the construction of buildings, as well as the creation of railway transport. It is also used in many other industries. A6061-T6 is a strong, wear-resistant and reliable material.

The product is not afraid of falls from a height of one meter. In addition, protection against water is provided here. The flashlight can be immersed in water to a depth of up to a couple of meters. The standard of protection against moisture and dust is IP68. This is a reliable device that will withstand many difficult conditions. That is why it is so convenient to use for tourism purposes. It also withstands difficult weather tests: temperatures from -35 degrees below zero to 45 degrees Celsius.
