Welcome to the Fenixlight UK RU-vid channel (previously MyFenix) - the home of all things Fenixlight in the UK. Still appearing as MyFenix whilst RU-vid tries to sort out the Gremlins!
We'll post any interesting product demo videos direct from Fenix as well as our own ones we make when we can. We hope to have more and more content on here as time goes on.
Nice flashlight but i already got 4 fenix headlamps and the CL27 & 28! Honestly, HM65R-DT its your best headlamp, the warm emiter its insanely good for snow and ice. And the HP16R its also very good, accepting the very common AA! Im sorry, id never buy a headlamp with a nonreplaceable battery at a huge price.
The DT was a big step for Fenix on the warm lighting - The HM65R-T V2.0 has taken that a step further with a bigger TIR lens. The HP35R battery is replaceable, but you have to buy the battery pack unlike the HP30R v2.0 battery pack with 2x5000s. (interestingly the HP30R v2.0 battery box works with HP35R)
This is a fantastic product, but sadly is no longer available in the uk. Is there an equivalent product you can recommend please? I like that its pocket size and can clip to my cap. Many thanks.
Dear Fenix, please redo this model but in a new version with a usb c and some user interface changings if u want, i thinke u lost it with the new pro version, this old version is just way more beautifully ,authentic , timeless and compact design counter to the new version, thanks
"Overheat stepdown at 55C" presumably the operating temperature on max 4000lm is greater than 55C, I am guessing closer to 85C. So. What does the max output step down to? In lumens? Is it one step or multiple steps? I am guessing in warm conditions it steps down in single digit minutes, in which case not publishing step down lumens is misleading. I am aware the entire industry mis markets their products so I appreciate the fact you even bothered to mention the step down feature. Looks like a fantastic light. Ok. My bad, you very honestly provide the run time graphs on your website but not on any retail vendor sites. The output drops to 1000lm after about 8 mins at 23C in your lab, so I guess even less in very hot weather and a little more in cold weather.
Thanks for the comment Toby - Yes, thermal regulation is always an issue with lighting and ANSI testing as the regime needs seriously updating in this modern age. As you found, we do put the runtime charts up to try and be a bit more transparent and is also in the user manual. The temperature in testing vs outside as you said does play havoc, for instance in this case with the rear battery box, run times can be affected by cold getting to it. Unibody lights have better results using the LED heat to keep the battery warm to offset the cold, but as you said the step downs happen later due to the unit not heating up as quick. It therefore uses more power running at the higher modes giving shorter run times. Like you said, most retailers won't go into that detail as the average customer buying lights just don't really get it.
Not on this model - it would be a nice little addition but I guess would put the price up! Could test the theory if the E18R v2.0 tail cap would work with it!
Sadly looks like the curly pigs tail has become bacon! All Fenix remote switches including the upgraded AER-03 V2.0 has straight style cable - maybe a cost saving to make or maybe its from a recommendation from someone they've listened to.
@@FenixlightUK yeah I guess that is too bad set the pigtail came by Beacon. That would be nice to have that extra option but. Maybe someone can recommend it again
Hola! Hace 2 meses no utilizo mi LR40R. Ahora trato de cargarla y no funciona, no carga ni prende las luces indicadoras de carga. Cual puede ser el problema? Desde ya muchas gracias
Lo mejor es ponerse en contacto con su distribuidor. Si dejaste la linterna sin batería durante 2 meses, podría haber dañado la batería. ¿Es un V1 o V2? (traducido del traductor de Google)
Excellent review! It's a superb flashlight! The only thing I don't understand is why the 150 lumen mode is missing, which is present on the TK20R V2? Do you have any idea why Fenix removed this mode from this model?
As a distributor we never know what Fenix will release - even when we do see prototypes, generally they are too far down the road for our input! I agree 150-200 lumens mode is needed as its enough light for mid range and won't kill the battery - I guess this model is Tactically designed rather than duty designed? I'll feed it back to Fenix HQ all the same
Just tried on and no it comes on white for a second and then goes to red with a long press. I guess you can cover the light with your hand during the switch over.
The 21700 is a must for multi-beam high power flashlights. And the USB high current charging is industry leading. I think the floodlight is not bright enough. They should have made that 1000 lumens. Most people don't need 2700 lumens of throw. I notice that many brands under-power the floodlights. Maybe it's a thermal management issue? Honestly, if I had both the spot and flood which can reach 1500 lumens and perhaps have both running at the same time at 1000, with two red LEDs it would be a winner. I went on the website and none of lights seem to meet this spec.
Tried charging with the usb C cable i use for my ipad, but didnt worked also tried with a different usb c and didnt worked either, only worked with the cable it came with. Why is this?
An Apple Charger I can imagine might have some Apple wizardry in it that might stop it from charging something not Apple, but as you said a standard one wouldn't be an issue - I charge mine with a high powered Anker C to C cable and it charges fine! If you think there's a problem, get in touch with your distributor or Fenix direct.
Just ordered this V2.0 to compare with my Rovyvon E3 Angel Eyes. Very happy with the Rovyvon and hoping the Fenix is even better. The Fenix is more of a bargain, I paid £45UK for the Angel Eyes compared to £32UK for this Fenix EO3R V2 on next day delivery, looking forward to my post tomorrow. Have to be honest, would have bought the Fenix 1st had I seen it as I really enjoy all things made by Fenix since buying the amazing triple tube whistle around 4-5 years back, always carried on my keychain ever since, beautifully engineered and supremely loud. Great Video, thanks.
I actually just ordered the V2, I've had the original EO3R for a long time and it's been great. I wish fenix made a light just like the E03R-V2.0 but approximately 80 mm long with a pocket clip so it could be carried like a knife.
Most LEPs are totally legal as the laser is only used to generate light and isn't the light itself. The laser is aimed internally at a phosphor element, converting the concentrated laser light into safe visible spectrum white light. We just would put caution on them as at close up they are very intense - they are designed for long distance usage.
I believe it comes with a small key link to allow you to attach it to a bigger key ring. Normally the set a keys comes first and then you attach the torch to it😅
So for the 3000 lumen setting on the C7, it holds better than most torches but still drops down relatively quickly - it slowly drops down to 2500 lumens over the space of 15 minutes. After this time it drops a faster rate down to 150 lumens over 30-40 mins. The fact it drops so quickly after the 15 minutes is because that long at that high an output is quite a long time and drains a lot of the battery. If you want to see the run time graph, head over to the product page on our website and go to the end of the image carousel.
E05R and E09R need a small point (or bump) in the center of the power button to help locate the button in the dark. It's VERY difficult to quickly locate that button as it is now.
Both have them have a raised section for the button - just need to roll the torch around the neck till you find it. I think Fenix have gone for the style instead of pure functionality on this.
My bad here - must have been a long day and must have typed 1 instead of 2 😅 - 243g including battery - will try to put a note on here a 21700 weighs roughly 71-72g added on.
I bought this light recently, used it already on a mountain hike and I like it. Small, compact, simple, well built and easy to operate. I think the battery runtimes are also very good but you need know better than what the box boasts of and roughly divide the runtimes by two if you want to know the usable power output in a given mode rather than "anything between stated output and 10% of it". But despite that the torch can keep pretty steady output for a reasonable amount of time in all but the highest mode, which drains batteries quickly (after about 1.5h the turbo mode gets equal with the lower high mode). But the lower modes are still pretty powerful. And yes, I appreciate a torch to be powered by alkaline batteries because I'm not a heavy user and for me li-ion rechargeables would not be economical nor ecological, I wish there were more quality torches made for alkaline batteries but most nowadays use li-ion. I'm usually not fond of AAA batteries because they are less economical than AA but in this case AAA's make sense because the battery pack can be thinner, which allows for flatter and better shape of the torch. The only complaint I might have is I wish it had LED with a higher CRI. I find the colour temperature just right - natural daylight but not too cool. But one reviewer measured the CRI to be about 60, which is very low and not good for colours. Something around 80 would be better as a good balance between CRI and power efficiency but anyway, it doesn't bother me much for what I use it for. Overall, a nice little head torch.
Thanks for a great review! I will pass on your comments to the Fenix team Something we are looking to try out here is testing our lights comparing Alkaline, Ni-Hm and Lithium AA/AAA batteries. We know Alkaline's don't do high outputs well (low and long is their game) but we'd like to see how effective the other varieties are.
Only issue with having this with an 18650 would be the high output would really eat up the battery! Maybe Fenix will do one similar but pair down the outputs a bit!
@@FenixlightUK Perfect. I wrote this because in the past on one of my night rides I had to take off, after 2 hours, a headlamp with 21700 because I had a pain in my head.
Was it mounted to a helmet? or just worn on your head? I can imagine the lateral and vertical forces you get with cycling would give you a headache with no helmet. Maybe a separate battery box like HP25R? For running, people wear a Buff underneath to help spread the weight out.
