Fenix PD40R V2.0 LED Torch 3000 Lumen,Black

Ok it's expensive but when you use it at night across fields you see why its so good. Very Bright, highly adjustable and easy pocket fit. Top quality materials IMHO.

So in the last couple of years these torches are so much better, the new turn dial is great, USB c standard for charging and last but not least it's so so so bright with a good area of flood. Should last a good few years

Nothing to dislike very good torch worth every penny quality build and very bright

PROS:- The light beam intensity is great, completely different league compared to my 8y.o. tactic LedLenser of similar size.- Very nice warm white light, looks almost like the sun.- All 4 intensity levels are useful. For many tasks the first low level is sufficient and comfortable.- It’s rechargeable and with USB-c port which is very convenient. I can charge it directly from my MacBook or iPad cable which is awesome.CONS:- Overall it feels like a Chinese product, with its poor design and usability thinking, tasteless and meaningless typography on the body, etc.- The switch feels mediocre quality and is hard to operate with one hand.- Strobe mode is utterly useless and awkwardly positioned. I often turn it on unintentionally when aiming for the high beam. In the dark it’s like tasering yourself every time. I don’t want this crap in my flashlight at all.- The charge indicator is awkwardly positioned. Being on the opposite side from the mode indication, it remains completely out of sight when you turn on the light. You won’t see it unless specifically checking for the charge level.- The packaging is excessive and wasteful. Too much plastic and paper only to hold it in hands for a minute and throw away. I believe the vendor should start thinking about the environment and the message they send out to the world.

Years I use fenix flashlights. It is a good flashlight but I am not used to rotary switch.

Excellent product

Great flashlight, really bright

I have a lot of lights, and quite a few Fenix, Olight and Nitecore torches. Out of all of them, the 2 that I use the most are Fenix’s LD30 (small, 1600lm) and this one, the PD40 V2. When I want more power I reach for this variable power torch. The rotary power dial around the bezel makes it very simple to vary the light output from off all the way to 3000 lumens with just a quick twist and I find this a much better option than the multiple press of a button method on my other lights. Two other things made this a favourite: It uses a very high capacity 21700 battery, which will run the light on its highest setting for over two and a half hours. Most other lights have a much lower run time than this - and many will not run on their highest setting for longer than a few minutes.Secondly, Fenix have thoughtfully used a standard 21700 battery, which means if you want to have spare batteries on hand, they are easy to obtain and can be charged outside of the torch with a standard charger. Many other companies (notably Olight) are now using standard sized batteries, but with proprietary connectors, which means you can only charge them in the torch which they fit.There’s another option too: Fenix make a 21700 battery with a micro USB port built in. This means you can charge the spare batteries with a standard USB charger - or even in the car if you have a suitable USB outlet in there.So yes, it’s an expensive torch, but you get what you pay for. If you’re willing to prioritise quality and thoughtful design over price, this is a tool that will provide years of excellent service and easily outperform cheaper options.
