While this may not be a huge factor in your buying decision, it is still a nice addition that the company has added. Whatever your expectations are, I believe they will be exceeded ten fold.įor those of us prone to inserting the batteries the wrong way, either through panic, darkness or stupidity, the Fenix PD 35 has a protective system in place that will not let the circuitry be damaged. Words cannot honestly do this Fenix flashlight justice in regards to the brightness of the beam. The beam can be set to spread out to cover a wider area, or you can set it up as a razor sharp point of light. This is a very welcome feature and one not regularly seen on other flashlights at the same price point. Once it is at the lowest brightness, it flashes off and then back on every five minutes, to make you aware that it is time to recharge it. Speaking of power, the Fenix PD35 flashlight has a power management style system, which basically lowers the brightness level in increments as the battery starts to drain. This means in an emergency you can always utilize ordinary batteries that can be bought from most stores. But when you consider that it is throwing out 1000 lumens from a very small area it is hardly surprising.Īnd if that is the only complaint, then I feel that Fenix has done an amazing job.Ī flashlight is useless without power and once again Fenix have thought this through properly.Ĭapable of using a rechargeable 18650 battery, this little beauty also can take two CR123A batteries.

The main beam travels a distance of up to 200 meters.ĭon’t be fooled by its small exterior, this is the perfect embodiment of the phrase “Don’t judge a book by its cover.” It is hard to describe just how bright this Fenix flashlight is, it could (and maybe should) come with a government health warning, as it truly blinds you if you are stupid enough to shine it directly into your eyes.īut if you actually use it for the purpose for which it was intended then the PD35 flashlight is quite simply stunning. The PD35 was designed with the military and law enforcement in mind as their ideal customer so your biggest problem might be keeping hold of it, as every time I used my tactical flashlight people wanted to borrow it.Ĭonsidering we are talking about a flashlight, this gives you some idea of the admiring glances this product inspires. Made of military standard aluminum the Fenix PD35 flashlight is strong and durable, while not being heavy.
