Fenix ​​PD36R ACE

The high-performance Fenix ​​PD36R ACE flashlight will dazzle you with a luminous flux of up to 3000 lumens (ANSI) and a range of up to 415 meters. This great light output is provided by the premium Luminus SFT-70 LED. It is powered by a 21700 Li-ion battery with a capacity of 5000 mAh (found in the package), which can be conveniently recharged directly in the flashlight via a modern USB-C connector. Under the durable screw nut that protects the USB-C charging port, there is also a unique SET programming button. With it, you can customize the flashlight in a flash: choose one of three preset profiles – tactical, service or outdoor – and perfectly adjust the number of modes, exactly according to your needs. The Fenix ​​PD36R ACE offers up to seven different lighting modes, so you can always choose the optimal combination of power and endurance. It can reach more than 63 hours in eco mode. For crisis situations, the SOS and strobe flash modes are invaluable. Thanks to digital control, the lamp provides constant light output even when the battery gradually discharges, the status of which can be easily checked using the charge indicator. The PD36R ACE impresses not only with its compact dimensions and impressive performance, but also with its tactical limit switch and the ability to connect the Fenix ​​AER-04 wired switch. It is therefore an ideal choice not only for all outdoor enthusiasts, but will also be of great use to members of the military, security forces, or hunters.

All lamp parameters (luminous flux, battery operation time, waterproofing, afterglow and impact resistance) are measured in accordance with the ANSI/NEMA FL 1-2009 standard.

By pressing the side button near the head of the lamp, you can cycle between constant light modes at any time during operation. To switch to strobe, hold the side button for about 0.5 seconds. Pressing it again will turn on SOS. Holding the side button again will return to the constant lighting modes. The number of modes that can be switched depends on the mode preset you have selected, for example, the strobe can be completely deactivated (see below).

3. After selecting the desired preset, the corresponding indicator next to the SET button will light up green for 3 seconds to confirm the selection. This indication also indicates the current number of available modes for the given Setting.

Battery charge status indication - Each time you turn it on, the indicator LED in the side button is activated for three seconds. If the indicator light is green, the battery is more than 85% charged. Green flashing means 50-85% capacity. If it lights up red, it is charged at 25-50%. Blinking red means less than 25% of battery capacity remains.

Intelligent overheating protection - If the lamp temperature exceeds 60 °C, the power will be automatically reduced. As soon as the temperature drops below 60°C, the power will gradually increase again.

Low battery warning - If the voltage drops below the set level, the flashlight will reduce the brightness to a lower level. When the lowest power level is reached, the battery charge indicator will flash red to remind you to recharge or replace the battery.
