Needs more “R’s” in the name. Maybe even a GT a Z and a X

[@TheOutdoorGearReview]

Hahaha I'm liking this idea; Fenix RLR3R5R What do you think? - Luke

[@AnotherMotorist]

@@TheOutdoorGearReview LR35GTRMugenRR Thought this was amusing. Been going through tons of LR35R videos but am offput by not having neutral white option

[@roughcollielover1784]

Bought one watching your video and some others. Best flashlight I own and have owned. Incredible performance in an easy to hold and small package. For me the on/off button has never been an issue to find with or without gloves. Even wearing leather insulated gloves. Once you get familiar with the flashlight you memorize where that on/off is located in relationship to your hand and the body. There's not anything to dislike because it's a well thought out design with ease of functionality in mind. This will light up an entire soccer field. Perfect balance flood and spot. Fenix hit this one out of the ball park. Thanks for a detailed honest review.

[@chuckfox5496]

OK Luke, you showed it burning the leaf... you are now on the hook to show us using that thing as a fire starter!

[@jpisme9082]

Wow! I want but after all the kinks are worked out. Thanks for the information. TOGR ROCKS

[@jeffgaboury3157]

I just noticed this light showing up in my feed a few hours ago and then "bam" an OutdoorGearReview video on it! I love your reviews and I've been very happy with gear I've bought on your recommendation (such as the Fenix E30R and PD36R). This looks AMAZING. It's crazy how fast the technology is changing. It wasn't that long ago that a Thrunite TN36 was jaw-dropping at 11,000 lumens. This is nearly the same output, but it looks much smaller! Colour me intrigued! Please keep up the great reviews and also your "adventure" videos. You've been keeping me sane during the pandemic. Well...actually "sane" might be a strong term. LOL :D

[@brasilchris1]

I have the TN 36 limited edition, the head is bigger and don't get so hot quickly than this Fenix. I like the UI from the Thrunite much more ,firefly up to high ramping. If this Fenix was with tail switch i was in also because of the throw of 500 meters .Charging type c is also great.

[@MrHTR73]

Just bought it. It’s a awesome flashlight- size, muscle and durability!

[@DirtRoadReset]

Luke my Man! Great review. A little big for my liking when it comes to backpacking/camping... It'll fit nicely in my glovebox. Keep em' coming!

[@photofire100]

Short and very much to the point. Thank you.

[@Eric-ew8jt]

Thumbs up for the TOGR!

[@lindawoods6841]

great review,,thank you Luke

[@roncruise4]

The Fenix LR35R is evolution of the Fenix TK35 Ultimate Edition. The TK35 UE is still an outstanding flashlight that provides more than enough light. It's still the one I use regularly. Can't wait to get my hands on the LR35R after a price drop. Maybe in a year or two. No rush.

[@marc6770]

Fenix flashlights are excellent, they are the only flashlights I own. Definitely a big fan!

[@doozerakapuckfutin]

Great flashlight awesome review-I want one

[@John-jl3ky]

It’s a great light, little bit of an investment but it’s a good light, thank you love your videos.

[@bigred3257]

Cool flashlight. I'm digging the new formats.

[@ktrigg2]

An alternative fire starter!

[@WilliamStout27]

Thanks Luke

[@frogmaster83]

Now that a serious bit of kit. 👍

[@justinuriahphoto]

mine will be here this week!

[@237goodday]

Just ordered after watching your video

[@crystalawrey2362]

This is awesome! You can put it in your glove box. If u brake down it’s perfect!

[@oscaropont]

Looks like a great truck light.

[@matrixxj]

Looks good just what I need.

[@deepsouthNZ]

Beast!

[@mavric007898]

Wow what a fantastic review. I gotta have it lol

[@Austin-iv7de]

Fenix makes really great flashlight products. I bought a lantern from them that hangs in my tent, really small form factor and it was only $30! The lantern uses the same battery as my fenix headlamp so its basically a case for my backup battery. I agree with other commenters that if this is a product that interests you , you should wait for official release and watch multiple reviews, not just one. Fenix makes great products, but make sure you're buying the product that suits you the best!

[@tenminutetokyo2643]

Excellent choice. There is also a 20,000 LM model too.

[@DARTHDANSAN]

This looks awesome was looking at older thrunite tn20 and other big flashlights. But this is slow sleek and bright

[@VernonWallace]

Wow would love one.

[@terrym1065]

Luke👍👍 10,000L, I need my shades😎 I could see this useful for caving, vehicle carry, base camp etc., a tad too much for hiking, bushwacking, backpacking though🤔 Be interesting to see the final review. Thanks. Enjoy!

[@71lucarigo]

Fenix Always the number one

[@mikeswildoutdoors7279]

Great video Thanks Luke, I love the Fenix brand lights been using for years, I have the TK35UE V2.0 5,000 lumen light and love it but the draw back is it has recharging on the batteries otherwise need to carry a charger, been thinking of going to that model not only for more lumens but for the USB capability charging.

[@AlbertaBushcrafter]

The medium mode is 1200 lumens? My Fenix LR41 doesn’t even put that out in Turbo mode. That’s the scariest flashlight I’ve seen in years. Great review, Luke!

[@surgery6862]

Love ur ch ! Was wondering about a drop.test with this light ?

[@gwlable]

I have the PD35R and PD40R V2.0, both work great. I'm kind of a flashlight nut, cannot really justify the LR35R, but have never had one this powerful, got to give it a try. It's on order and should get it sometime around the 2nt week of July and on my camping trip in Sept. Will let you know how well it works. Thank you for your reviews and camping ideas.

[@ibby7382]

how is it?

[@ancypka]

Yes bro, how is it???? ,💡

[@lonniet.2816]

I like the size of it.

[@GettinEdgy]

Mine will be in my hand on July 2nd. 👍 Since it was my first purchase from Fenix, I got it for $159. (20% off)

[@goforbroke2]

FYI you can keep getting 20% off coupons on every order if you enter your email again in that coupon box, and wait for coupon email. I’ve done it 8-10 times now.

goforbroke2 and if it wont let you, sign out, you wont get points but youll get the discount

[@jeremylelea3758]

I found my Fenix PD32 UE recently and thought it was time to upgrade. I went to Fenix’s site and ordered this one no more than 2 hours ago. I am pretty excited for it to come in the mail. Thank you for the review. When was this flashlight officially released?

[@pasea3550]

Good!!

[@petermiller3364]

to help with the flush on off switch just get a washers glue it so now it sticks up a bit so no struggling finding the I/O button.

[@kc8767]

A flash light to use outside during the day time. 😂🤣😂

[@titanpreparedness]

Dont know why i would need 10,000 lumens but dang it would be nice to have. Cant wait to see the final product

[@Yaxez]

Looks very nice, but I think it would be prudent to wait for reviews on the finished flashlight before buying anything.

[@TheOutdoorGearReview]

That's why it wasn't a review. :D - Luke

[@InimitaPaul]

Fenix make some great torches but I have had a dodgy one. I purchased the LD30 a year or so back and as great as it was, the thing got so hot that it melted the circuitry inside and it no longer had temperature control, meaning it got REALLY hot and it also had a habit of turning itself on in my pocket and left a light burn on my outer thigh. The replacement had none of those issues so I’ll put the first one down to “it happens”, but this one gets really hot too. It’s been a few months now and the lens is starting to bubble from the heat it puts out, meaning it’s less effective. Luckily Fenix have great customer service so getting the lens replaced shouldn’t be an issue. Over all I’d recommend Fenix just for their innovation, I love what they’re doing. Plus, you don’t see many Fenix torches in the UK, they’re conversation starters, at work at least lol. Edit: The proprietary batteries in mine are a downside. They only take 18650 rechargeable batteries made by Fenix and are the only ones that work with it. Standard 18650 and rechargeable 18650 do not fit.

[@apocsurvival916]

As always we value the information as if it were Gold. This will be my new backpack light thanks to you. The reasons are, usb rechargeable, 10k factor, compact and the one I have now is the EAX Hammer from Nitecore. It's kinda heavy. Lol. Cawwwwwwwwwwwww

[@johngregory662]

Nice light. I have one like that from a different manufacturer. LED’s do get hot, thus the reason for the large heat sinks ...dissipate the heat, for they can hot enough to self destruct. One question? What testing criteria did they use? I’m guessing they did it right being Felix, they make great lights.

[@toddnewsom8129]

I had another flashlight that would not go into "turbo" mode. It would momentarily go super bright and then dim. It turns out that some of the 16850 rechargeable batteries have a surge protection circuit built in. When entering turbo mode, the surge triggers the circuit and limits the output. I took the outer wrapper off of the battery and sure enough, it had a surge circuit. I removed the circuit, reinstalled it into the flashlight and it worked like a charm. These 21700 batteries may have the same circuit. Fenix may be able to ramp up the current in the firmware, preventing the quick surge

[@chrisbarker270]

Like it.

[@Munyos1]

You are the next Alan Wake :)

[@DemonChicken316]

Sweet light, great videoas always, love the form-factor. Would like to see another variation of that light/formfactor maybe without such a high output with a lower price maybe marketed towards camp use.

[@xrazx1269]

tajam bersinar

[@mhpupacios]

probably good for night lamping rabbits if it can be rifle mounted too

[@fredericksweet]

If the "kinks" are worked out great. The thing is with the OS mag lights that they carry they were built to serve a second purpose also, and trust me I was on the end of the second reason once in my life and it hurts.

[@bizzbarberbarryt747]

have had one of these for 4 mths now totally bonkers on full power for such a compact flashlight but even on 3000 lm the light flood pattern and throw are good enough for most scenarios quite simply a torch for any gadget junky and a quality 5yr grty on it as well as for heat on full power well it does give of a bit of heat but like i said the times you will use the max is prod few and far between but the strobe on it is just nuts

[@232323ed]

I like how you do you reviews the very honest

[@evanestrada3407]

Hello I would be very interested in you reviewing the north face futurelifht bivy.

[@alexk1486]

does the usb-c port reverse charge a device?

[@badgejohnson5596]

Who didn't get nervous every time Luke casually pointed it at the camera? :)

[@el-eezkori4l7.77]

A GREAT LINTERN i Needed Two of these LR35r And Their Comming eBay Via,, Thank's,, Greetings From MEXICALI BAJA CALIFORNIA

[@mat-ventures]

Love it and can't wait to try it while geocaching at night!

[@kalvinwong]

Is it whole torch will become extreme hot when turbo mode? Or only extremely hot on the top?

[@AndrewBarr42]

Did you drop test or waterproof test it?

[@FatherPatriot]

Can someone explain to me why they used a side switch instead of tail switch? When I worked security, I loved my Thrunite TC20 except for the fact that I had to fumble in the dark to find the side switch. Quick operation is key in a product designed for law enforcement use, so is there any reason they didn't use a tail switch on this? To me, they are so much easier to find quickly.

[@limchoonteck1]

Doubles as fire starter! 🤣

[@joyojoyic2165]

Hi, l'm in a process of buying a flashlight, what would you recommend. I need something rugged, something that can take a beating.

[@alexanderweaver4838]

This is one of those nice to have but man, 200 bucks...if I was still a paramedic, it would be on my shopping list.

[@zedorda1337]

I have a weird hang up when it comes to flash lights. They have to be EMP resistant before I will even consider it.

[@YoungByron]

temperature color? 5700k or 6500k?

[@justme19852]

Looks good but i don't see much difference between pd40r v2, similar beam with only one led and half of the price

[@alicialankford8583]

What best to buy a big tent for 2 adults and 2 kids and so we have sum room to for our stuff we watch your show every day we going camping in couple of weeks and where to buy a good one at

[@witchdoctor6502]

send him an email, that way he will reply for sure: [e-mail]

[@KimberlyGreen]

It's going to depend on a lot of factors. What's your budget (very low cost? sky's the limit?) What kind of conditions will you be in (hot & dry? a chance of rain? snow?) How much weight do you want to carry (heavy & split between 2 adults? ultralight?) Will there be bugs? As @Witchdoctor suggested, email Luke. But be sure to also tell him a little about your plans so he knows what your situation will be.

[@Obliticus]

Yeah, I'm not sure a pocket clip is practical on a light that size, especially in the awkward spot it is mounted. Seems like it would be really difficult to clip onto your belt because its recessed behind the main light barrel. I think it may work better if it was mounted on the narrow side.

[@yt75009]

If you were to buy it that would just be for the sake of buying it and maybe have a review about it, so how does it matter ? (I will buy it on my side however, almost sure)

[@Obliticus]

@@yt75009 Huh? If I were to spend that kind of money on a flashlight, it certainly wouldn't be used as a book end, lol.

[@WillEDC]

Probably an afterthought. A holster and a thick belt would function better

[@jdcool11]

Nice light but the button is a issue. Need a quick locate button.

[@jacksonjohnson9674]

Nice!

[@mat-ventures]

At 7:35, "For law enforcement, this is where this flashlight really shines"... Good one Luke haha!

[@chimneycheck]

I saw this light at an inspection (I inspect fireplaces). A geo inspector had it. I have seen this guy for many years on inspections and I always used to have the best light. This guy gave me my first case of Light envy. I just ordered mine.

[@rickbrewster4760]

Projected cost?

[@afcfan9310]

What’s the point of turbo with those insane high lumens if it gets too hot to hold?

Don't want to sound bashing this unit but I have a similar O'Light and is truly amazing, Best wishes from Northern Ireland.

My ideal flashlight: 5000 lumens; 2 x 21700 battery for long time; Usb type C charger built in; Smart ring for infinite brightness level selection; Dedicated button for on/off; Oled display for status; 2 modes: spotlight and floodlight; Waterproof, of course. How is your ideal flashlight?

[@brasilchris1]

My ideal flashlight: 5000 lumens; 2 x 21700 battery for long time; Usb type C charger built in; Smart ring for infinite brightness level selection; Tail switch- access to turbo Oled display for status - not a must I think combination flood and throw from this Fenix is perfect This will be mine dream( read) perfect light for this moment. I have the Nitecore SRT9 very nice light unfortunately without onboard charging

[@stuarthall3874]

So bright it comes with an FAA registration.

[@Ian..]

I have a similar Olight flashlight, but I like that the Fenix uses standard 21700 batteries. I’ve now migrated to only using lights that use standard 21700 or 18650 batteries. Fenix make USB chargeable versions of both these batteries so that they are easy to charge. I might switch to it just for that reason. Olight batteries are standard sizes, but non-standard connectors and that’s really put me off.

[@EarlyMist]

Olights backwards spaced batteries are proprietary due to their magnetic charging capabilities. Great for around an area with charging stations but in the field not practical unless you buy more of their pricey proprietary batteries. Which I did because I like them. The torches that is. I could take or leave magnetic charging...and when you don't have your proprietry Olight magnetic usb charger in the field for your battery bank...you're SOL...even though you have like 5 type C usbs right there for your phone and other devices.

[@Ian..]

EarlyMist Yep. That’s exactly my experience. I like Olights - I have quite a lot of them, but the battery / charger situation was getting out of hand.

[@tanmoykumardas2730]

How long does it run On Turbo Mode before stepping down to High Mode?

[@Yaxez]

My guess would be 1-2 minutes, but don't quote me on that.

[@WillEDC]

Yaxez you more likely correct. Look at the run times of the turbo and high. It’s nearly identical. Essentially it’s a 3000 lumen light with momentary 10000.

[@peterallen4605]

Overkill for hiking, but still a pretty cool toy.

[@mikel310]

Go check out Olight's X9R Marauder. It's 25,000 lumens 💥

[@jeremylelea3758]

That one looks neat. It’s 3 times the price and much larger looking. Maybe one day.

[@mh8837]

It's almost been a week since I challenge you and no response at all. That just shows how much honour and strength you really do have. You're very little man and for anyone else reading this, don't give people like this money. In time's like theses, save your money for yourself and your loved ones.

[@earlaker]

Love your channel, BUT... You can call it whatever you want, but you said you'd never review a product prototype as you were reviewing one! Great flashlight, btw, but too pricy for my blood.

[@mickflemingit]

USB-C charging port. Good for fast charging!

[@84greenbear]

A quick attach magnetic charger would be a great feature instead of a plug in type.

[@dudedovahkiin3825]

So if it's a Fenix you can probably access the turbo until the battery power gets below 85% and then you're not going to be able to get turbo it is only got 8000 milliamps you can always buy better batteries all the problems I side with my other Fenix flashlights I really don't think I do picking this one up I think something like the nitecore concept 2 is a much better deal

[@1barron]

Looks great but overkill for me.

[@captain_hammer4760]

The recessed button is a dealbreaker. I have the the Thrunite catapult v6, and although super impressive....when you need the light in a hurry, it's not happening. Fenix should know better. So in this case, unless the button feature is improved this is a waste of money.

[@steveharris7116]

Has anyone looked at this amount of light including the strobe as being a deterrent to bears and other animals

[@Wavefront101]

I read a surefire article more than 10 years ago saying this guy shined his light at a charging moose, and says it saved his life. On another note, another guy also had a story of shining a green laser in the eye of a charging sasquatch which he says was going to smash him to bits.

[@steveharris7116]

@@Wavefront101 I think with the sasquatch a green lantern may have been more effective. If you find sasquatch you are sure to find a super hero as well

[@jeffrichards5106]

Good flashlight for those that want to reach out and melt someone..

I think it is great for the intended users. It is possible to be a weapon in the wrong hands.

[@lonetrader1]

500m for 10,000 lumins Ehhh one of my thrunite the 32 I think is a bit over 1,300- 1,500 I think and does about 700m....... Still 10,000 is impressive, but I'm worried about it being another over rated on the lumin count light (I got plenty of those)

[@junktube4000]

What companies don't over rate the lumin counts and what companies do?
