Fenix PD35 V3.0 LED flashlight

The latest generation of the high-performance Fenix PD35 V3.0 flashlight delivers a luminous flux of up to 1700 lumens (ANSI) and a beam distance of up to 357 meters. Such excellent light output has been achieved by using the latest Luminus SFT-40 LED. The flashlight is powered by a 2600 mAh Li-ion 18650 battery (included in the package) with its own built-in micro-USB charging port. The Fenix PD35 V3.0 features six lighting modes, allowing you to choose between high output and long runtime, which reaches up to 230 hours. One of the lighting modes is also strobe, which is useful in emergency situations. The flashlight is powered by a digitally regulated constant current to ensure consistent light output even when the voltage in the batteries decreases (as they discharge). It is also equipped with a battery level indicator.

The PD35 V3.0 impresses not only with its compact size and high performance but also with its tactical switch and the possibility of attaching the Fenix AER-02 cable switch. Therefore, we can recommend it not only to all outdoor enthusiasts but especially to members of security forces and hunters.

All flashlight parameters (luminous flux, battery runtime, waterproofness, beam distance, and impact resistance) are measured in accordance with the ANSI/NEMA FL 1-2009 standard.

Fenix PD35 V3.0 Flashlight Parameters

• Uses a top-tier high-performance Luminus SFT-40 LED with a lifespan of 50,000 hours.
• Six lighting modes: Turbo 1700 lumens (1.5 hours) -> 600 lumens (2.5 hours) -> 150 lumens (8.5 hours) -> 50 lumens (26.5 hours) -> 5 lumens (230 hours) - Strobe 1700 lumens (variable frequency strobe).
• Luminous flux and runtime are measured with the rechargeable Fenix 18650 Li-ion battery with a capacity of 2600mAh (included in the package).
• Digitally regulated for constant brightness, intelligent overheat protection.
• Power source: one 18650 Li-ion rechargeable battery or two disposable CR123A batteries.
• Supported voltage range 2.8-6.4V, low voltage warning.
• Due to the mechanical reverse polarity protection, the battery must have a protruding positive pole. Older Fenix batteries with a flat positive pole cannot be used.
• Smooth parabolic reflector for a beam with a range of 357 meters (31900 cd).
• The flashlight has memory and will always turn on in the last used mode (does not apply to strobe).
• The LED indicator in the side switch will show the battery status each time the light is turned on (calibrated for use with 18650 Li-ion batteries).
• Trapezoidal threads with increased wear resistance.
• Dimensions: 13.4 cm (length) x 2.28 cm (body diameter) x 2.54 cm (head).
• Weight: 83.5 grams (without battery) or 133.5 grams (including battery).
• Made from aircraft-grade hardened aluminum, durable finish - Type III hard anodized.
• Impact resistant from a 1-meter drop.
• Aggressive knurling for better grip, design prevents rolling on uneven surfaces.
• Waterproof and dustproof according to IP68 standard (tested underwater at a depth of 2 meters for 30 minutes).
• Removable steel clip.
• Toughened ultra-clear glass lens with anti-reflective coating.
• Tactical tail switch (momentary on/off function).
• Included accessories: wrist lanyard, belt holster, spare O-rings, Fenix 18650 2600 mAh battery with USB and micro USB charging cable.
• Optional accessories available for purchase include: Fenix ALD-05 strap for helmet use, Fenix AER-02 cable switch, AOD-S diffuser, AOF-S+ red filter, AOF-S+ green filter, AOF-S+ blue filter, bicycle mount, Fenix ALB-10 bicycle mount, or BikeBlock helmet mount, ALG-15 quick-release weapon rail mount, Fenix ALG-00 quick-release mount, magnetic metal mount, ALP-10S holster. Due to its smaller body diameter, the flashlight can only be mounted by the head or tail on the Fenix ALG-16 M-LOK mount.

Usage

The flashlight may come with a black insulating cap on the battery from the factory. Remove it from the battery before first use.

To turn on, press the tail switch; for momentary activation, gently hold the button. By pressing the side switch near the head of the flashlight, you can cycle through the five constant lighting modes at any time during operation. To switch to strobe mode, hold the side button for approximately 0.5 seconds.

Intelligent overheat protection - if the flashlight's temperature rises above 60°C, it will automatically start to reduce output in gradual steps until its temperature stabilizes. Once the flashlight's temperature drops below 60°C, the output will automatically increase to the original level.

Battery level indication - each time the light is turned on, the indicator LED in the side switch activates for three seconds. If the indicator light is green, the battery is charged to over 85%. Flashing green indicates 50-85% capacity. If it is red, it is charged to 25-50%. Flashing red means less than 25% battery capacity remains (only works when using an 18650 Li-ion battery).

Low battery warning - the flashlight will gradually and automatically switch to the lowest mode. In the lowest mode, the indicator LED in the switch will flash red three times every 10 minutes. This indicates the need to charge or replace the battery with a fully charged one.

Charging - connect the USB cable to the micro-USB port on the battery; the indicator light on top of the battery glows red during charging. Once fully charged, it glows green or blue. Charging time for a fully depleted battery is 3-3.5 hours.

Warnings

• Do not disassemble the sealed parts in the flashlight head yourself, as this will void the warranty.
• Use only high-quality 18650 Li-ion batteries or 3V CR123A batteries to avoid damaging the flashlight.
• If the protective rubber O-rings appear damaged after prolonged use, replace them. The O-rings should also be lubricated to prevent rubber erosion. By following these rules, the flashlight will be properly protected against water.
• If the flashlight is blinking, not switching to higher output modes, or not turning on, it may be due to one of the following reasons:
  
  • Batteries are nearly depleted - charge the battery or replace it.
  • Contacts inside the flashlight are dirty - clean them with an alcohol-dampened cloth.
  • The head, body, or tail cap of the flashlight are loose - apply lubricant to the O-rings and firmly tighten the head and tail cap.
