Charging via an external port covered by a rubber flap has pros and cons. Even though it’s more convenient to charge, flap can degrade overtime decreasing moisture resistance as well as allowing dirt and other debris to get into the port.
@JunkyardFox3 жыл бұрын
you definitely havea point there
@bjornnordstrom3 жыл бұрын
Exactly, I would certainly pay extra NOT to have the external charging port. Especially since the battery last for so long.
@michaels38603 жыл бұрын
+ you can use the light with another battery while the first one is charging.
@mcmlxv98272 жыл бұрын
After owing a flashlight with an external charging port with a rubber cover, I will not buy another. I prefer having this method or as on the Fenix TK 20 v2.

Great video. The double click lock is for people like me that carry the light in my pocket and find the light came on in my pocket 😊. Also I like where the battery charger is, as it seems like more protection from dust and water. Found the rubber cover gets loose after a while. Thanks again for a quality video!

Fenix makes awesome lights. I have the PD36-TAC and I love it....it is an amazing light. I also have the HM65-R headlamp, and that thing is simply incredible with the light available and the runtimes (and it's super comfortable on the head too once you get it adjusted). Got the E35 V3 for the girlfriend as a gift for an EDC but haven't given it to her yet.....the specs and features on it are really ideal for an every day light.

@MemphisMojo15s3 жыл бұрын
My favorite light brand. Thanks for the upload. I have quite a few of them. If you want a couple of opinions on what to get next, the HT18 is excellent for throw, the PD36R is perfect all around, the PD35 V3 is superb for all conditions, shoot, just get all of them. Especially their smaller pocket lights. The ONLY one so far I still can't like and ended up selling is the PD40R series lights they make. Other than that, Fenix is absolutely awesome..

@CaveWyatt3 жыл бұрын
This is my first experience with your channel. Terrific job! I’ve been using CR123 powered flashlights but I recently got an inexpensive Feyachi 18650 flashlight and it’s very impressive; even came with a pressure switch tail cap. Surefire? No, but it’s still working so that’s something. From cordless power tools I’ve just learned about the 21700 battery and wondering if anybody was making a flashlight for it. This was a great learning experience.
@AldermanFredCDavis2 жыл бұрын
Not a flashlight aficionado, but just bought this. The intructions are printed microscopically tiny, but you can download a pdf. The lens seems to have some type of frosting/diffusing on it. I assume it's supposed to be like that? Wondering why the on/off switch is on the side vs. on the tail cap, as it would seem that it would be more difficult to turn on by accident if the power switch was on the tailcap? Seems to be well made. I have had great experiences with SureFire products, however the SureFire tactical light that I like is twice as expensive as this. Lots of positive comments online about Fenix flashlights.

Hey James, I've been busy moving the last several months, and off grid. Just thought I'd drop by and catch this video real quick since I'm in cell range. I'm on my second Fenix light now. My first one a UC35 I've had several years and still going strong. My second one is a TK20R. I'm not a big fan of the rubber plug, but I can't seem to kill the rest of the flashlight. I'd like to see a more secure cover for the charging port, like maybe a thread on cap. But off topic, I thought I'd mention the moccasins from Moccasins Canada I've been enjoying for a while now. Thought you might like to check them out. Got the idea from Ryan Gill on "Hunt Primitive". You might like his channel if you haven't seen it already. Take care. My boots are constantly dirty right now. Back off grid I go.

Good review. I've carried Fenix flashlights forever, they're extremely tough, reliable lights. I agree that the 50 lumen eco mode is not nearly low enough, you definitely don't want to be searching for something you dropped in a room with someone else sleeping using 50 lumens. 3k turbo mode is insane though.
