FenixLR35R Super Bright Rechargeable Flashlight, 10000 Lumen Long Throw and High Lumen with Batteries and Lumentac Organizer

I have quite a few Fenix lights from over the years. Every time I buy a different brand, I’m disappointed. Every time I buy a Fenix, my expectations are exceeded. I even purchased a Surefire a few years ago and wasn’t thrilled with its performance.Prior to this purchase, my favorite Fenix lights have been:PD25 – A very small and compact light. Much brighter than it seems possible. I think it’s 640 lumens? A great carry light. Only a few inches long.PD40R – This has been my long-time favorite. On max it’s 3000 lumens. SUPER bright! This was my first usb rechargeable Fenix.I received my LR35R 10,000 lumen light last week. The build quality is fantastic! It’s not much longer than my PD40R but it is heavier and thicker.The batteries fit inside the handle and the way they mold the handle makes it fit great in my hands.At first, I thought I might be bothered not to have the on/off switch on the back like other Fenix lights (my PD40R has a rotating bezel to turn on/off). But the button is conveniently located right at thumb level when holding it in my hand.A quick press of about ½ second turns it on and off and when turning it on, goes to the last used setting. If you hold it for more than ½ second when either on or off, it goes into blinding strobe mode.It comes with a great sheath that can be worn on a belt or attached to a mole panel. I put it on a mole panel in the back of my truck seat.When putting it in the sheath, I engage the lock function. If you QUICKLY double press the on/off button it locks the light so it can’t accidentally turn on. It has to be a quick double press though. Once locked if you try and turn the light on, it flashes twice in low (eco) mode to show it’s locked. A quick double press again unlocks it and puts it in eco mode.If you quick single press the button when the light is off, it shows you the battery level. I think solid green is full, blinking green is reduced, then maybe solid or blinking red? I haven’t got to that point yet.It also comes with a clip on the light. Great for clipping it in my pocket.There are 5 brightness settings.The lowest setting (Eco) is only I believe 50 lumens. At first I thought this was pointless. But then I used it to read some small text at night. It was perfect for that. At this low setting, there is no glare when reading text on white paper.The second setting (low) 450 lumens is perfect for outside dog duty at night without blinding lights on dogs or freaking out neighbors.The third setting (medium) at 1200 lumens is a normal powerful flashlight brightness. Pretty useful for most tasks.The forth setting (high) at 3000 lumens is freak’n bright. It is as bright at my PD40R (also at 3000 lumens) but the LR35R has a wider pattern. The PD40R bright pattern really has great distance. This LR35R has that great distance but at an even wider pattern.The turbo setting (high) at 10,000 lumens is un-believably bright. It is insane! And a very wide pattern. I have other flashlights that advertise 10,000 lumens. But so far, none of those come even close to 3000 lumens, much less 10,000. I would say, 10,000 lumens is pretty accurate for the LR35R on ‘turbo’. The only use I can think of for 10,000 lumens are, long distance search, or complete blindness for anyone looking at the light!Some complain the turbo setting produces a lot of heat. And I agree. However, I can’t imagine anyone would use Turbo mode for an extended period of time and touch the front of the light. For me, I will only use this mode sparingly. And use it, just because I can!So, based on build quality, comfort in my hand, and complete usefulness across all of the lumen ranges of this light, this is my new favorite go-to light.

Very bright, works well to illuminate large area. the draw back of this is that the range is severely diminished when the humidity is high, due to reflections of water droplets in air. if you want to see further, a more narrow beam would be more advantageous.

I bought 2 of these and love them. Super bright, but they get hot! Battery life is great and has a safety lock out for the switch, which is need to prevent accidental activation, because it gets HOT!!

Crazy bright compared with any normal flashlight. Easily hand-held. Dense, heavy. Flat-ish body tucks it nicely around a belt making it stay on securely, yet easy to take off once you know how to angle it.Problem is, you have to press and hold the button to light it up, so there's no way to turn it on instantly in an emergency, which makes it pretty much useless for non-violent self-defense.No clue why they would design it like that. Maybe unavoidable for some reason? Some kind of safety feature concept? But I don't know what's safe about a small delay. Seems to me all it can do is make you less safe for a second while you're waiting for light.

I have more than just a few flashlights , it becomes an addiction , always looking for the one that blows the others away. Well I think this is it , at least for a while . I remember when the Fenix TK70 was a power house. Now you have 4 times the output and it fits in the palm of your hand. A little big for an EDC but not by much, and it depends on what your using it for , it has a nice belt clip and could be used as such. The interface is definitely my favorite for a single button, very intuitive. Feels good and secure in the hand. Battery life is phenomenal, and the price is very reasonable considering the quality. If you're looking for an incredible light, you won't be disappointed !

If your expecting to run this light on the highest setting for hours think again. You'd need a car battery to get that done. Lol But it's really bright one click down and lasts quite a while before needing a recharge. Super long throw. Well over 100yd. Carry a few extra batteries and you've got a dang good truck light.

This is an excellent flashlight, however, within only 2-3 min it gets so hot you can’t even hold it. I’m so disappointed and feel so stupid for how much money I paid and how it performs. I would not advise anyone getting this. Battery will not last very long on high so what’s the point in having it?

Top quality craftsmanship...One of the only flashlights I have found in is compact size that not only puts out the power but does it for a relatively long period of time and uses a true strobe effect for disorientation rather than just a flashing light like others..Hope this has been helpful..I've done security in some pretty ruff places and this is a great night defense tool for blinding any attacker and to just light up your path.
