fenix PD36R Rechargeable, Black

Product Information

With Fenix build quality, extreme performance and ergonomic operation, PD36R Pro has what it takes for operation in tough environments! This is an ideal torch for Tactical Operations at the highest level, Police and other emergency services use. The light is also sure to find a home with many outdoors men, tradesmen and home users who appreciate the finest build, technology and performance for reliable every day use. The X9R Marauder is Olight’s brightest and most powerful flashlight. By using six Cree XHP70.2 LED lights, the X9R is capable of producing 25,000 lumens and 99,200 candelas. While it exceeds the light output of the Fenix by 7,000, its beam intensity is approximately one third that of the LR80R. This results in more flood and a less well-defined hotspot. They added a protection board to the battery and therefore makes it too long for 99% of the battery chargers currently on the market. Thus you have to charge it inside the light, or get a 18650 charger with extra long bays! (Extra safety).

Fenix PD36R Pro review | Tactical flashlight with - 1Lumen Fenix PD36R Pro review | Tactical flashlight with - 1Lumen

Internally there is a stiff spring at the front of the light as well as in the tail, threads are smooth, square cut and a bit dry. Up front, the head is glued in place and the bezel is machined into the head. There is an AR glass lens, a narrow deep smooth reflector, and a nicely centered LED. I think it's a shame that the capacity of the eco-mode has been increased, 30 lumens is now the minimum output. For orientation purposes or when you're indoors, this mode is too bright. I would like to have a lower (additional) mode of 5 lumens or even less, with the added advantage that the battery charge would last even longer. A 'shortcut' to activate the turbo mode would be a nice addition. Value for money? On a side note: my Samsung 21700 40T (flat tops) don’t work because of the reverse polarity protection. The positive side doesn’t connect to the driver board because of this. Li-ion batteries are powerful cells designed for commercial applications and must be treated with caution and handled with care. Only use quality batteries with circuit protection will reduce the potential for combustion or explosion; but cell damage or short circuiting are potential risks the user assumes.

The 36R is a superior flashlight, and it will remain our top choice. The PD36R is well built. There’s nothing glaringly bad, and everything works like it should. I like the e-switch cover in particular, as I’m partial to metal switch covers.

Fenix: Which Brand Makes the Better Flashlight? Olight vs. Fenix: Which Brand Makes the Better Flashlight?

The light will accumulate a lot of heat when used on High or Turbo modes for extended periods. When the light reaches a temperature of 60°C or above, the light will automatically step down a few lumens to reduce the temperature. When the temperature drops below 60°C, it will then allow the user the reselection of High or Turbo modes. I really like Fenix lights but I want them to have direct access to low lumens. If they let you push and hold the side switch to access a super low lumen made that would be awesome. At 1,600 lumens, the battery, on a full charge, will last for 2 hours and 50 minutes. At this output, the PD36R has a throw of 283 meters — almost the same as the M2R Pro Warrior. The lower maximum output and intensity produce a less bright and sharply defined hotspot with more spill. Despite this, it’s still highly effective for illuminating outdoor environments. Fenix PD36R Below are interactive comparison graphs for a selection of these tactical lights.

Could you recommend a light similar to this one with internal charging capabilities, tail switch and instant access to a low light mode?Note: This only works with Fenix ARB-L21 series 21700 rechargeable Li-ion battery. Turbo mode cannot be activated when the battery is at or below approximately 50%. So, for those who value a super-low light with incredible run time, the PD35R would be a top choice. If you plan to mostly use the light at low output for seeing in a tent, for example, the PD35R will give you a lot longer runtime.
