FENIX LR40R Rechargeable 12000 Lumen Flashlight, Black

Product Information

Also regarding low voltage protection – while the light steps down to Eco of the Spot emitter, the indicating switch is also blinking a single blue light (very quickly).

It’d take this from being a light with great throw and high output to being a light with great pleasant throw and extremely high output and great temperature…. The 18 XP-G3 S4 LED lights in the edge of the head of the light create a beam I had never seen before. In reality this leaves you with a beam which reaches quite far, and because you don't highlight yourself you can see even further. You immediately notice the narrow beam that will enable you to look for and light up objects in a very targeted way.The included battery pack is charged inside the torch via the USB Type-C charging port, which is located on the neck of the torch. Thanks to its size the LR40R is also very stable, even when you place it on a less even surface it stays upright. Aside from slightly missing the intensity specs (by my measurements) and the lack of a tripod mount, I can’t find much to complain about. The controls are easy and practical, even though I do miss a direct turbo mode and a momentary-on mode. During long trips I recommend wearing the light in the holster on your belt to make sure the weight doesn't work against you.

In addition to nature and meteorology Koen loves to show others what a light can do and what its beam looks like at night. With the light switched on High I, High II or Turbo on Floodlight mode, the light will accumulate a lot of heat for extended periods. Perhaps when not connected through a USB meter, the flashlight might negotiate a faster charge rate, but I’m not so sure.

To demonstrate the enormous power of the light I tested the LR40R at a couple of spacious locations. In an emergency situation the LR40R can be powered by 1, 2 or 3 18650 cells, however this will severley decrease the output and runtime.
