I have been following flashlight channels for quite a while, but none of them was able to put together such an informative, logical and fact based summary on edc lights as you! Just ordered the Fenix PD36R based on your recommendation! Thank you so much!

@aquasound-escapes898 Год назад

I love mine! Even with the SILICONE FLAP/ COVER ripped off. I’ve submerged it in water and the damn light just keeps going 💯

@northernselfreliance6943 3 года назад

I love Fenix Flashlights!!! I have many many flashlights of all kinds of brands. I have had top brands like Surefire fail after a couple months of use. I have never ever had any of my 6 Fenix lights fail. I currently carry the Fenix PD35 TAC and I absolutely love it. I have had it for a while and I dont ever go anywhere without it. I was using it in -43°c with at 3500mAh battery and it just kept on running.

@funurayt050 3 года назад

Im not even finished watching your second flashlight review and subscribed. We think alike. Your point of view on these flashlights is from a point of view of an actual flashlight user so I can relate to you. Most are reading specs off the website and are just trying to generate review income. Well done keep up the good work.

@ajohnson6416 3 года назад

Thanks for the video. I'll be purchasing the PD36R now. I was leaning towards the Warrior Pro but now believe Fenix is the way to go. Thanks again!

@aquasound-escapes898 Год назад

What are your thoughts about your fenix pd36r now? 1. The usb c cover on mine has since been ripped off. I still charge out of that port and the light still works after water submersions. 2. Tail cap rubber cover is getting smooth. 3. Anodizing is chipping a little here and there. 4% of the light. Otherwise 💯

@rearickjb Год назад

I have the PD35 and love it! I use it 5 days a week at work and the charge on it last so long! I had not charged my battery for 3-4 day uses, and lost it the other day. The next day I remembered where I left it. I found it STILL ON after 18 hours on the second setting. I still had plenty of charge and what just a little warm. Amazing!!

@cornpop7805 2 года назад

I cary a 5 pack of fully charged 18650s in my truck at all times. I ask Home depot for bad battery packs, which they always supply. Of the 5 to 10 cells within the packs, usually only one or two are bad, the others are often like new. So, I've got 25 or 30 good 18650s laying around. Not all flashlights will accept these batteries because they don't have the reduced tip, but you can buy that protector and heat shrink it to the battery. FYI: I once jump started my car with an 18V cordless drill battery. Now I have a dedicated jump starter.

Great review on those lights! I agree I had olights but they get very hot quickly, sold them on eBay and yes my edc is a PD36R that I use for work almost everyday. My backup light is a surefire e1b backup, it’s pricey but gets the job done when I use it.

@sighterinfo 2 года назад

Agree with your daily use/carry match-up completely: Fenix PD36R (or Fenix E35 v3 for more flood) + Olight Baton 3. Pretty much covers all my daily use cases. Using a small light like the Baton 3 as a headlamp on your hat is one of the best ass-saving use cases for a light I can think of.

@nathanbinder5900 3 года назад

Awesome video, I love your stuff! I was going to mention the Warrior Mini because I bet it could replace the I2R and M2R except it’s not as warm of a white. The size is also right on the border of being too big for EDC for me, I wish they had a deep carry pocket clip. There are some things I would change about the UI, but the size, interface, and moonlight mode makes the Warrior Mini rise above the LD30 for my EDC. I love my PD25 too though!

@aquasound-escapes898 Год назад

My first compact led light was a nebo redline 200 lumen. The light was focusable/ aspheric lens, spot to flood. It lasted 2 months before the focus wheel started to malfunction. Long story short? I would not go for nebo products. If you can, go for fenix products. You may have to pay a little more but it is well worth the long term investment.

Thank you for an honest review. You don't know how many are paid make videos on the m2r claiming it has spill when it does not. I've even seen test videos that made it seem as if the m2r has greater spill then the pd36r. You have to try the fenix pd40r v2. After a bit of time I fell in love with the rotary switch.

Very helpful and honest reviews. I was looking for long run flashlight for trekking for 10days and there no electricity apart from my solar battery pack. I never had fenix brand before. I got only Olight s1r baton ii and it’s awesome little to go on my pockets. Now I need one bigger like pd36R for runtime. I’m still thinking to choose between PD36R and Olight Freyr since M2R pro is not going to last battery like you mention in video. Could you help me to do another review for Freyr and compare the battery runtime with PD36R or other exactly similar brand and range. Many thanks again.

@chuckvt5196 3 года назад

Great video, Charlie! Nice collection! With me, it's collecting flashlights, wrist watches and thermos'! (No counting countless guns and detectors. LOL) I also keep a hand crank generated light in my car at all times. Not a lot of brightness, but sufficient as an area light and never needs batteries and will always work when you need it. BTW, if you love headlamps, for my money, the Fenix HM65R is absolutely the best! Please check that one out! Thank you for a great review!

@johnwilliams8654 3 года назад

I bought the E20 version 2 and the PD36R for the extremely long run times, and the E20 runs off two AAs! I believe they get such long times because their candela and lux are low. For example my 1000 lumen Streamlight Pro Tac HL-X has 27100 candela and a 330 meter beam and the PD36R at 1600 lumen has 19977 candela and a 283 meter beam. on its closest setting, 800 lumen it has 9636 candela and a 197 meter beam. This makes the Streamlight seem brighter and have more of a spot light, whereas the Fenix is more of a flood style light. Personally I prefer the long run times and don't need a flashlight to illuminate things at a 1000 feet, so I EDC the Fenix now and love it.

@aquasound-escapes898 Год назад

The Fenix pd36r is a “as is advertised light”. It doesn’t get the highest lumen output or candela rating, it just works. I dropped mine several times. The worst drop was when I was cruisin on my motorcycle at 60mph and the light came out my back pocket. I went back and grabbed it off the freeway and the damn thing just keeps working! Everyone complains about it not being tactical. I’ll challenge that and say JUST SET IT AND FORGET IT. You want 1600 lumens for almost 3hrs that does not STEP DOWN ? Go for that setting. You want 800 lumens that will run almost 6 hours long?! This light does what it says… takes a lickin and keeps on tickin. Your USB C silicone cover gone? Yep so is mine. I still charge it, run it under water to clean the light and it’s still ALL water tight ! I can’t say enough praises about this light Fenix set the bar even 3 years later.

Olight M2R pro warrior has been since I recieved it my greatest and most praised light, It had everything I wanted in a tactical/ EDC light and I didn't mind the heating because on cold nights it would be my hand warmer. But this week I had to send it back on warranty, it completely stopped working durning use and wouldnt turn on again. I have had technical problems with the switch on the previous warrior not doing what I wanted it to do, my H2r blinking evry time it goes to turbo and also occasional problems with my s1r II refusing to do turbo. I have since started to have doubts about olight. I am looking for an EDC light about the size of the s2r with a neutra or warm led. Klarus e1 would be my ideal but I cant stand a cool LED on a primary light. Any suggestions?

This is why I’m looking to see what’s out there these days. I had the Feni. Flashlights with Olight batteries and they lasted forever. I’d like to go handsfree in situations like the one we had so I’m looking for 2 additional handheld lights and 1 that can be both maybe or a dedicated headlight.

@Igryan8 3 года назад

I got Fenix PD36R and M2R for the same exact reasons. Although, I did not know that M2R was not that good for long time run. I bought it for the specs. I always prioritize run time over lumens etc. As for me - the best flashlight is the one that can run the longest on a single charge in it's class. I have not seen ANY flashlight that runs longer than PD36R. I also want to get LD30, but the only thing that stops me is the non-tail stand for that size of a flashlight.

Overall You’ll get shorter runtimes the more lumens the light outputs. That IS why the Fenix PD36R is the middle ground performer but outputting the longest USABLE runtimes. Recently I bought the new acclaimed Fenix TK16 V2 at 3,100 lumens and don’t get me wrong… that light beam @t 3K lumens is impressive! BUT… it drains the livin snot out of the 21700 5,000mah battery too fast. It’s better than a maxed out 3,500mah 18660 but it still stands to reason that higher lumen output is not near as efficient as the lower lumen output PD36R. I carry this light everywhere with me. It is balanced for high output without sacrificing longer runtimes. ⚖️💯🔑👏🏼

Charlie, I stumbled across this video searching for good reviews and information regarding the Fenix PD36R, as I was leaning towards getting one, but I had some concern about the charging port cover, so I was considering the Olight M2 Warrior. I am sure they are both great lights, but after seeing this video, I felt sure the PD36R was the better choice for me. Like you, I would rather not even have a USB port on the light itself, which caused me to consider the LD30 as well. I have had great luck with Fenix - I have two 2014 TK-22s that were both mounted on long guns - one on an AR and the other on a shotgun. I have recently put a forend on the shotgun with an integrated light, so my second TK-22 is now repurposed as a spare light on my workbench. I have never had an EDC that I was fully satisfied with - Iove the TK22, but it is really best suited as a weapon mounted light or for carrying in a belt holster. Thanks for the video - I found this very helpful! Respectfully, Scott

Saw your video when it first came out and I’m glad I did because it led me to the truly AMAZING Fenix PD36R!!! I’m looking for something that has a little bit smaller footprint for EDC though, and I’ve been leaning towards the Surefire Stiletto Pro. It’s a little bit pricy at $200, but I was wondering what your thoughts on it were. Thanks!

If I'm not too late, look at the Fenix PD32 V2.0. It's cheaper, smaller, and is tail cap standable. Also, the Klarus XT2CR Pro is amazing, mainly due to it's amazing twin tail switch. It has a 2100 lumen turbo mode, but it only lasts 2min before it goes to 700 lumens. Crazy effective for tactical. Also, the run times in the other modes are generally better than Fenix lights. Obviously, Klarus isn't as well known as Fenix or O-Light, but they get really good reviews.

Hope you chose the PD36R. The runtimes/ light efficiency cannot be beat on this light even 3yrs later. This is still my GO TO primary EDC. 💯

@@cornpop7805 I used to be a bg fan boy of Klarus until I had 2 of their lights crap out/ lights out on me. Klarus XT11 600lumen version then a later date upgraded XT11 2000 lumen version. Both lights fatality by waist high drop. I switched brands also because their their customer service sucks/ near impossible to reason. Started looking into fenix and have not looked back since with 0 malfunctions
