Fenix LR50R: This 12,000 lumen spotlight is a MONSTER!

[@DavidtheFoodie]

I got the Fenix LR35R recently and I am happy with it. Because I am a flashlight addict I won't be buying another Fenix until it's over 20k. Wifey still doesn't understand my addiction. lol

[@ChrispyThings]

😂

[@reahs4815]

Got my TK-22 V2 a while back and just like that I became a flashaholic

[@bridawg24]

I like the price point of the LR35R. I've decided to purchase it over the 12k lumen models. 10k lumens is sufficient and $120 less expensive.

[@dvlop0018]

Really in depth review. Appreciate all the time you put into this. Best wishes

[@CamboTriton]

Great review. I have the LR40R, the LR50R has some nice upgrades from that. Subscribed!

[@japudjuha]

Looks like an amazing torch especially for the size factor. The issue I have primarily is the advertising in recent years, if you advertise a torch is 12,000 lm, it should do 12,000 lm continuously until the battery runs down. No specific conditions or compromises involved. When I used to build high power search lights, if I stated 30,000 lm at 5 million candela, The expectation would be that is the output on a continuous basis, not for 30 seconds or a minute etc. Don’t get me wrong it is a fantastic feature, absolutely, however there is almost a deliberate misconception inherent in the figures stated by manufacturers these days. Thanks for a very thorough and great review mate, much appreciated✌️

[@ChrispyThings]

Yep. Unfortunately almost every company advertises this way.

[@youtubeuser5424]

I agree but, unfortunately there is something called physics involved.

[@javedali-te2xc]

[@BenMonteSS]

Thank you for another GREAT review. I've been waiting for this light for a while now. I wanted to see how this one compared to the LR40R.

[@UKRglory]

Which flood better in your opinion LR40R or LR50R?

[@ElmoIsBold]

First LED flashlight review I've ever clicked "like" on. Just a smart, sensible man who didn't pound another Red Bull before recording. I'd prefer end-to-end pairs of 21700s in a round body (not flat like LR35R) for long life rather than for 12,000 lumens and a smaller head. I guess I just got addicted to those sucky 2-D cell Ray-O-Vacs in my youth and can't come clean, despite how sucky they were. Thanks! So Chrispy! (By the way, I'm quite liking my Fenix PD35 for walking with wife and dogs on a Colorado winter's night. Don't need a search light for that.)

[@ChrispyThings]

Thanks for watching bud

This can attach to peak design capture system, this definitely a monster!

Great beam shots and footage, made even better with the snow falling. Good compare with the vehicle. 👍👍👍😁😁✌🏻🇺🇸

Just bought this on Amazon today, I'm jazzed, good review!

[@pedallinraw]

Bought an Acebeam and an Olight recently and great small lights....but that is mind blowing 😳

[@MemphisMojo15s]

This is a much better 12K lumen beam than the Nebo 12K. I love Fenix lights. Thanks for the upload

[@johnnybravo4012]

Yep rightfully so since the Nebo is about 2/3 cheaper

[@ZippoVarga]

I've got the new Olight Marauder 2 in Limited Edition orange on its way now. Have you had your hands on that torch yet Chris? Cheers my Friend! Zip~

[@ChrispyThings]

I haven’t. I’ve been working away from home for the past 3 weeks. I’ll return home in a few weeks but doubt I’ll get to check that one out anytime soon. Looks cool though

[@nathanbreazeale1852]

I can’t wait to get mine,ordered it on jan27,it said release date on feb 5.when did you order yours?

[@jayce5025]

How does this compare to the old school TK61 with 1,000 lumens?

[@mdmcolt]

Enjoyed 👍👍

[@akshaynarwade7655]

I have ordered this Torch after watching Your Review How much Long it will Work on 6k lumin continuously because i don't understand the graph Can i have an idea what i can expect

[@dylanthedyslexicvillain4294]

That’s an amazing torch do you think it would be suitable for a home protection torch to shine in the eyes of intruders or do you think a better option would be a more focus beam type like the smaller tactical ones?

[@ChrispyThings]

Go with something more tactical like the Fenix TK16 v2 or Olight Warrior 3

[@dylanthedyslexicvillain4294]

@@ChrispyThings thank you for the reply I’ve just looked at both of those torches and they look far better for what I need thank you very much for that

[@philiptucker9055]

Which would you choose between the LR35R and LR50R? I have the PD36R and just love collecting tools for emergency readiness. I kind of wish the LR35R had a similar downshifting sensor…

[@bartozzzebra2872]

Thanks for review. I think it is not the best way to test it with snow which makes all things much brighter.

[@ChrispyThings]

I was looking at throw distance.

[@vigneshkumarvk8]

What is the distance

[@matterisnotsolid8295]

So I bought an OM2 that can pump out 14,000 lms for 5 minutes and I am to understand this can pump out 12,000 for 1.3 hrs?

[@2rich2Mr]

It would be nice to see some known distances to objectively view the light with. It’s not easy to judge distances from a video.

[@dennisbrandenburg6412]

Since you were outside and the snow was blowing, how long did the turbo mode last? Did not check it? You got another test to run.

[@ChrispyThings]

Lol no I don’t.

[@BenMonteSS]

Hi Crispy, I forgot to ask you in my previous post... What's your opinion on the LR40R vs LR50R? Any chance to do a comparison video??? Thanks again for your honest reviews!!!

[@ChrispyThings]

Thanks! I don’t own the LR40R so I can’t compare. I have the 35 and 50👍🏻

[@ronaldhussey5605]

I really do want this light, so just guestamating, what would you say the lumen output is after an hour. I did see the charts but just asking for your honest opinion, and thanks for the review!! Sorry I just watched the video again and u answered my question I just didn't catch it first time around, TKS again, RH.

[@ChrispyThings]

Haha no problem

[@Voyager_Breaker]

It's resistance to the water??

[@ChrispyThings]

All of that info is IN THE VIDEO

[@aslee3312]

The LR40R can use the flood and throw lights separately or simultaneously. Can this new LR50R do the same?

[@ChrispyThings]

There’s no way I’m aware of that can switch from flood to spot on this

[@shaunsanford2253]

I have the 40, use it every morning and night out in the yard with the dog. Yard becomes day. I wonder how the 50 would do?

[@Jaydies2049]

If the battery pack could be charged out side the flashlight it would be the best light ever..

[@AGC828]

Would have liked to have seen you test how long you can run this light in TURBO mode. Is it only for the "typical" 2-3 minutes? Why do they advertise 1 hour plus?? I mean in the end they do call this mode "turbo" for a reason. As in cars "turbo"" (like supercharghing/NOS) is for a "temporary boost" of power. But this light does have a High-2? 5000 lumens...forget the runtime. Maybe you could test exactly how long a light will run at the 2nd highest mode.... are the advertised numbers close?

[@ChrispyThings]

I did test that. I usually do a 2 minute test because that’s how long turbo usually lasts at the most. But in this case I didn’t see any step down in those 2 minutes. They advertise 1 hour plus because they combine turbo with high runtimes. It’s atypical tactic with flashlight companies

[@XfubarX]

I love that its IP68

[@sinepari9160]

I realize it's a 'spot' but man if that thing had a little more flood... wow.

[@therealtampadude9175]

The Olight Marauder 2 might fit the bill for you, then.

[@wefukthenwo]

I bought this and it does both. It cost a lot of $ but at least I no longer need anymore flashlights. I have been banned from using this in the house, lol.

[@naifalsaeedan5413]

this or lr80r ?

[@LightingUpTheAbyss]

nasty green, should have used sfn55 thanks for vid

[@ancataut7891]

How long can it maintain 12.000 lumens till it makes step down?

[@ENGW1SH]

Depends how hot the light gets

[@Rich.ard72]

All that money and still no level output indicator. And having to cycle though 12000 lu to turn it down is a massive negative. They should use a rotary switch for power level imo

[@therealtampadude9175]

I have both the Marauder 2 and the LR50R, and I prefer the interface on the LR50R.

[@wefukthenwo]

That would be a better option for sure.

[@MASFATNINJA]

Awesome illumination but that body is just too cumbersome for me.

[@austin73]

Wow, the lumens graph on this light is a hot mess that says the output modes were picked by the marketing department and not the engineers. Too much money for such a compromise in my opinion.

[@Mo-xx9gg]

They need to rubberise these things! They scratch too easily!

[@logitech2072]

And as usual for Fenix, it's really 12000 lumens for 30 seconds and step down to a third of that. Not totally sure having this honking size is worth it for that short duration extreme light output. While I like some of their products, they could really do without the misleading advertising.

[@ChrispyThings]

Not at all. The step down started at 45 seconds but was so slight I could barely see it after 2 minutes. Definitely wasn’t a third. So I’d say it was still close to 3000-2800 lumens even after 2 minutes. That’s an estimate

[@logitech2072]

@@ChrispyThings Do you honestly believe that they're not burying the 45 second runtime in their advertising literature? They friggin list 12000 lumens as 1hour 50 minutes with an asterisk. It's noticeable to me because I typically use lights for 30-60 minutes continuously. I'd be carrying around a 2lb light for 2800 lumens most of the time....

Just wait. We are all so amazed at this now, but this light will be 100% obsolete in 2-3 years. I’ve put on hold buying expensive flashlights because I hate to watch them go obsolete so fast! I’ll give it another few years before plopping down on a big one...
