PD36R Pro PD36R-PRO
The best-selling flashlight in the Fenix lineup and a perennial top-10 seller on Amazon. The PD36R Pro delivers 2,800 lumens through a Luminus SFT70 LED with a 380-meter throw, making it equally capable lighting up a backyard or reaching across a field. Dual tactical tail switches give you instant turbo and strobe without fumbling through modes, while USB-C fast charging tops off the included 5000mAh 21700 battery in about 3 hours. IP68 rated and built from hardened 6061-T6 aluminum, this is the flashlight that earns its place in your EDC rotation.
