Fenix ​​PD26R ACE flashlight, 1300 lm, black

The powerful compact Fenix ​​PD26R ACE flashlight will dazzle you with a luminous flux of up to 1300 lumens (ANSI) and a range of up to 354 meters. This great light output is provided by the premium white Luminus SFT-25R LED. It is powered by a 18350 Li-ion battery with a capacity of 1600 mAh (found in the package), which can be conveniently recharged directly in the flashlight via a modern USB-C connector. The lamp is programmable, so you can easily pre-select the number of modes you want to use. The Fenix ​​PD26R ACE offers up to seven different lighting modes, so you can always choose the optimal combination of power and endurance. In the lowest mode, it can achieve an incredible 556 hours of continuous lighting on a single charge! 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 PD26R ACE impresses not only with its compact dimensions and great performance, but also with a body design that prevents it from rolling and slipping in your hand. It is therefore an ideal choice for service, for all outdoor enthusiasts, and will also serve well for everyday use.

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.

To turn on, press the tactical switch at the end of the flashlight, for instant activation, just press it lightly. 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. If you have selected Setting 3 (outdoor activities), 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).

2. With the light on, press the SET switch to switch between: Setting 1 - tactical mode (Turbo mode only) → Setting 2 - service mode (3 modes) → Setting 3 - outdoor activities (5 modes). When the light is first turned on, Setting 3 is selected from the factory.

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.

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 to 25-50%. Blinking red means there is less than 25% battery capacity left. Note: Only works with Fenix ​​18350 batteries.
