FenixE35R EDC Flashlight, 3100 Lumens USB-C Rechargeable High Lumen Performance Flashlight with LumenTac Organizer

I work as a camp host on the Oregon coast for the USFS. I'm miles away from anything. It is dark, gale-prone, wet and rainy and cold here 8 months out of the year. Over the years, I have used dozens of makes/models of flashlights. I have 3 of these flashlights. I keep one in my pocket, one in my service truck and have one stored away as a spare. 2 are E35 V3.0's, 1 is the E35R. Things I like: 1) just the right size for one-hand operation 2) powerful enough to light up a 4 acre area when I need them to 3) simple, fool-proof user interface without unnecessary options/controls 4) seriously water-proof, impact resistant 5) long enough run time 6) two lock out modes (one electronic, one mechanical). 7) feels bullet-proof and like it was designed by those who actually use flashlights on a daily basis or have spent a lot of time with those who do. IMO this the finest flashlight for general duty/EDC on the market. Some tips after 3 years of use: 1) make it a habit to actually use the supplied lanyard 2) use one of the lock out modes before sticking it in a pocket (not doing so is a mistake you'll only make once). 3) you CAN reverse the clip and mount it on the bill of your cap for serious hands-free lighting. Things I don't like: there's nothing I don't like about this light, especially now with the increased candela of the E35R and tail magnet.

I got this a an EDC. Very useful and easy to use. Quality feels premium and weighty in a good way. Multiple modes lets you use it continuously for long periods of time, obviously the lower modes conserve the most battery. Button is great and clicky and lights up to tell you battery power.

Very very bright light. IT gets very hot since it gives off 3100 lumens. So good for a short amount of time.

This is the brightest flashlight I have ever seen. I have it 4 stars because the beam focus is t adjustable and when they say it gets hot on high beam strength be warned it truly gets hot as in too hot to hold. Overall a great light and I’m not sorry I bought it but a few tweaks and it would be perfect.

I like the design of this light. It's compact and easy to carry. The magnet is very strong. I expected dropped this a few times and it's held up, I appreciate the value in this light. It's easy to use also.But be careful, it will actually burn a hole in your pocket, especially in synthetic or insulated clothes like coveralls.Do not look into this light, or shine it in someone's face.

I use this flashlight for work as a home inspector. Flashlights are one of our most important tools.It works as advertise. Very bright flashlight, yet still small. I am about to purchase another one today as a 2nd working flashlight. The flashlight is sturdy. Out of all the flashlights I have used for the past 25 plus years, this one is the brightest when it is in the boost mode. I would recommend this tool to anyone who is looking for reliable flashlight with a variety of different level of brightness. I like the feature that it can be charged with a standard USB cord.

This is a meh flashlight for the money. USB-C charging is nice but charging is glacial even with a fast charger and the charge indicator doesn't give much info on the state of charge. All you get is a solid red light that eventually turns green. However, once you unplug it, a button press will show charge state according to the color and whether the light flashes. The code is as follows from greatest charge to least charge: solid green - flashing green - solid red - flashing red. It would've been nice to include that functionality in charging too. It would also be nice if charging didn't cancel the button lock. That's an extra step and an extra hazard. The magnet won't hold the flashlight reliably on a vertical surface unless braced by the wings on the tail of the light just so. I wish they'd used a strong enough magnet or a better wing design. The "white" light of the LED is strongly green tinted. This is unforgivable at this price point.The magnet is strong enough to suspend the light from a car hood which is a plus. The five brightness levels provide a lot of flexibility in lighting. Strobe is out of the way yet easily accessed from any unlocked state by an extra long press. A long press turns the light on and off while short presses cycles between the brightness levels. When the light's off, two short presses in rapid succession will lock or unlock the light. Locking the light causes it to default to its lowest brightness when unlocked. This is handy to avoid cycling through the high brightness levels to conserve night vision. This light is really bright for its size. The trade offs for this are excessive heat, heat throttling of brightness, and shortish battery life. Peak brightness is short-lived. All this is expected from a small high performance light.This light gets a no vote from my wife for being overly complicated and fussy. Double click to lock and unlock seems ok in theory but in practice you have to click it fast or it doesn't work. Both my wife & I have repeatedly missed unlocking it because we didn't click it fast enough. Worse, when you quickly follow up with faster clicks it ignores those clicks until you've paused a few seconds then double clicked again. This light is a fussy pain in the butt with a beam the color of creamed spinach. It is small and bright though.

I thought I had a really bright flashlight (though heavy and of standard flashlight size) until I went on a night hike with someone who had one of these. I was sold! The small size lets me rest it on either my binoculars or camera for easy viewing of wildlife or birds at night. The pocket clip and small size makes it very easy and convenient to carry. My only issue is the non-intuitiveness of the single button. It takes a bit of practice to turn it on and off, so I’ll be sure to use it every so often so I’ll always remember how without consulting the instructions. Note: I compared this to night vision binoculars of similar price—this (or any) flashlight was far superior, both for getting around in the dark and for seeing distant wildlife (since you can use the flashlight with binoculars or a good camera).
