A set of two flashlights including the proven Fenix PD36R tactical model characterized by intense light output and the Fenix E03R V2.0 pendant flashlight surprisingly functional for everyday use.
Fenix PD36R Pro is an upgraded tactical flashlight with a powerful light output of 2800 lumens, a range of 380 m, powered by a powerful 21700 5000 mAh battery charged via a USB-C port.
The IP68-rated armored body, functional clip and dual tactical switch make the Fenix PD36R Pro an ideal tool for uniformed services, but also an indispensable light source for preppers, survivalists and military enthusiasts.
The flashlight is compatible with the Fenix AER-05 gel switch and Fenix ALG-16 mount.
The main changes of the PD36R Pro compared to the PD36R model.
The body of the Fenix PD36R Pro flashlight is made of hardened aluminum, subjected to the HA-III hard anodizing process, which makes the flashlight's barrel and head resistant to scratches, abrasion and mechanical damage. The milling of the body and its geometric profile prevent the flashlight from slipping from the hand, and provide excellent grip. The PD36R PRO also uses a steel clip that allows the flashlight to be quickly attached to a body armor and easily retrieved. The detachable clip also prevents the flashlight from rolling off an inclined surface. The flashlight has a new control system, now consisting of two rear buttons with different shapes and functionality.
The light source is a new-generation LUMINUS SST70 LED, emitting a maximum light output of 2800 lumens at a distance of as much as 380 meters. The cool-neutral light color reduces eye fatigue, provides more natural color rendering and better visibility of details. The flashlight uses anti-reflective glass with high light transmission and a smooth reflector, providing a concentrated light output with a strongly illuminated center of the scene. This design results in a concentrated light stream that can illuminate objects up to 450 meters away.
The user has 6 light modes at his disposal: turbo, high, medium, low, eco and strobe, thus allowing to customize the lighting. It is worth noting that the total runtime of the flashlight in turbo 2800 lumens mode is nearly 3.5 hours!
The flashlight is powered by a 21700 type cell with a powerful capacity of as much as 5000 mAh! The battery used has twice the capacity of a standard 18650 cell, which obviously translates into tremendous performance and impressive runtime.
The PD36R Pro has a built-in USB-C charging port, allowing the cell to charge very quickly. Just a 10-minute charge provides as much as 5 hours of 150 lumens! The USB-C port also allows you to charge the flashlight from a portable power-bank, greatly increasing the mobility and capabilities of the Fenix PD36R Pro. The socket is protected from moisture, water and dust by a rubber plug. Thanks to the function of the battery level indicator (LED in the body) and low voltage warning, we can control the operation of the flashlight and manage the remaining power supply. When the flashlight is turned on, the indicator informs us about the battery status for 3 seconds.
Battery level indication:
The PD36R Pro flashlight has two rear switches: a round one and a smaller oval one for changing modes. The main button activates momentary light and turns on continuous illumination. The smaller oval button is responsible for changing the brightness of the light and activating strobe. Thanks to the memory function, when the flashlight is next activated, the last used light mode is automatically selected. The Fenix PD36 TAC uses APF (Advanced Transmision Technology), which reduces the susceptibility of electronics to interference.
The flashlight employs several protection systems, including reverse polarity protection, low voltage warning and "smart protection" against overheating, which reduces the brightness of the light to cool down when heated to 60°C. The flashlight's high IP68 rating makes it resistant to total immersion in water (30 minutes at a depth of 2 meters), dust and dirt, and dropping.
TheFenix PD36R Pro is a professional tactical flashlight that combines excellent light performance, long runtime and functionality into one reliable tool in a compact size.
The parameters shown were obtained under laboratory conditions. Fenix ARB-L21 5000 mAh battery was used during testing.

Fenix E03R V2.0 is an upgraded EDC flashlight with 500 lumens output, equipped with a USB-C port fast charging port, a powerful battery and an enlarged metal switch
Major changes to the E03R V2.0:
Fenix E03R V2.0 is an upgraded version of the E03R flashlight, which took the compact key flashlight market by storm. The idea behind the designers of the new model was to create a lightweight, pocket-sized yet powerful flashlight that can constantly accompany us in our daily activities. The result was a light weighing just 30 g, the size of a car remote control, whose maximum flux of as much as 500 lumens illuminates a space at a distance of nearly 90 m. To increase the comfort of use and reduce the cost of use at the same time, the flashlight has an integrated rechargeable battery, a USB-C fast charging port and a useful battery level indicator to check the remaining power supply.
The flashlight's body is made using a precision method on CNC machine tools from A6061-T6 aluminum, which has undergone the HA-III hard anodizing process for increased hardness. This guarantees resistance to abrasion, mechanical damage and ensures a minimum weight of just 30g. The light weight combined with the compact size of 52 × 26 × 13 mm means that the flashlight can be carried every day by the keys, in a wallet, pocket or women's purse. The advantages of owning this compact flashlight will be appreciated by anyone who does not need a typical EDC flashlight with a powerful light output and larger size. The flashlight is IP66-rated, which means it is resistant to dust and small solids, a fall from 1 meter, dust, has a splash-proof design and can be safely used in rain or snowfall.
The flashlight uses 3 emitters: two white and one red with a lifetime of 50,000 hours. The maximum luminous flux is 500 lumens, which allows wide illumination of a space at a distance of up to 90 meters. The user has 4 levels of brightness of the white light and 2 modes of red light (steady and flashing), so the flashlight, in addition to everyday use, will also prove useful as an emergency light for signaling, calling for help or marking a position. The red LED will be useful for nighttime map reading, it also speeds up the adaptation of the eye to seeing in the dark.
The Fenix E03R V2.0 additionally uses a 2-color pulsating light, which impressively illuminates the switch.
Activities related to the operation of the flashlight, i.e. switching on, off and changing modes, are operated by a single button, made of anodized metal. Two solutions, i.e. a button embedded below the line of the body and a button lock (activated by a double click), protect the flashlight from accidental activation while carrying it.
The flashlight is powered by a built-in li-po 400 mAh battery. The battery is charged via a USB-C port, which ensures the speed of the process and the ability to charge using an external power bank or other power source, such as from a laptop, or a car USB socket. The socket is protected from moisture and dust by a rubber plug. Thanks to the function of the battery level indicator (LED in the switch) and low voltage warning, we can control the operation of the flashlight and manage the remaining energy reserve. Activation of the indicator is done by pressing the switch once (flashlight off). The indicator via a colored LED for 3 seconds informs us about the battery status. The flashlight uses an intelligent overheat protection system (Intelligent Overheat Protection), which automatically reduces the brightness of the light until the temperature of the flashlight is reduced.
For the time of carrying the flashlight, the switch can be locked, which protects against accidental activation of the light and battery drain.
