I really appreciate the narrator giving their negative opinions on the product as well, because with a channel like this ,involved in the selling of the product, usually the video would basically be a gushing endorsement/advertisement for the product. Thanks for keeping it real.👍

First thing, 1700 lumens is all the light anyone will ever need for pretty much any occasion in a personal carry light. This trend of 3000 lumen turbo settings is really just silly; anything over 1800 lumens and you’re just needlessly burning battery power. This is a light intended for situational awareness in the dark not an evening of spotlighting deer; there are other lights and power sources more suitable for that kind of output. I love the increased candela on this light but hate the fact that Fenix omitted the 150 lumen setting. Not sure why they would do that.

[@marylynpettie4663]

i agree 100% the 150 lumen is the most used on a torch of this kind!! How freakin lame!! They did the same thing on the tk20rUE and also the new HT32 hunting torch so now it only has a runtime of 29 hours and they dint even add a damn eco mode which every hunting toirch should have!! Fenix is one of the only torch companies that DOES NOT listen to their customers!! We have been asking for a moon mode and also better quality holsters for years now but they just refuse!!I digress.....

Great flashlight and great evaluation. Here's a hint I figured out soon after I got mine. Twist the belt clip so it's inline with the button to adjust brightness/check battery level. Never had a problem finding the brass switch after that. Semper Fi!

[@LonghornTactical]

Great tip! That's really helpful! Almost embarrassed I didn't figure that out myself!

[@FlashBro-r4w]

The original pd36r on high of 800 lumens lasts 5hrs 50mins. To me, this still beats almost every other light because the sheer output/ runtime at that brightness. On turbo, after 7min it would only step down to 1,400 lumens and hold that until 16 min had elapsed.

[@THEPLANETEARTH]

Nothing gonna beat the PD36r 👁️👄👁️🤌🏻

[@BrianLeposki]

Is the second loop on the belt clip for tucking a shirt?

[@AnilSingh-rn3kx]

Nice but i will go for the hm71r or the hp35r.

[@johnwilliams8654]

Version 1 is 30lum-115hr/150lum-26hr/350-8.5hr/800-6hr/1600-2hr50min. V2 is 5lum-482hr/50lum-50hr/350-7hr45min/800lum-4hr15min/1700lum-3hr30min. Considering turbo steps down after a min the version 1 actually has better run times, but no moonlight mode.

Nice review. I really love my PD35s, (I have two) and I added a Thyrm Switchback to each one. With those add ons, I can manipulate the side switch with my pinky finger with no problem. I dont know if Thyrm makes a model to fit the 36R, but I would look into it. Especially if Im going to buy this light. Good job.

[@LonghornTactical]

Very cool!

[@rayoflight62]

I believe the Nitecore MH12 Pro is a better choice. Same type of two button operation, but 3000 lumen and more runtime...

[@andrewrodriguez8492]

Has anyone ever tested the run time for the outputs on this flashlight? I'd really like the 8 something hours at 350 lumens

[@BroadwayValet]

I WANT TO CARRY EXTRA BATTERIES BUT NOT SURE WHICH ONES TO ORDER FROM FENIX. ANY SUGGESTIONS OR RECOMMENDATIONS? WANT TO HAVE AT LEAST 3-5 EXTRA ONES

[@LonghornTactical]

Check out the Fenix ARB-L21 Series!

[@ericgauthier8695]

My original PD36R just quit working … battery fully charged and it just dosnt work … it sucks because I had this light for years and don’t know how to fix it

[@jirinafrankova166]

Send it to your local Fenix dealer. They should provide you service, possibly for free. At least in my country it worked great. They give you a new light or fix it.

[@BigJesse579]

@@jirinafrankova166I have to knock mine on something occasionally. Not often.

[@flashlightnoob]

New haircut?

[@patrickndichu3905]

How much in USD?

[@LonghornTactical]

99.95 !

[@Studat]

Pass, Nitecore MH12 pro and MH25 pro seems to be much stronger in performance
