The LR35R flashlight is an essential tools for emergency preparedness. In situations like natural disasters or blackouts, when electricity is unavailable, a flashlight becomes crucial for navigating dark areas, locating supplies, or signaling for help. This light has 5 modes of lighting. The mode memory of LR35R contributes to a more seamless and intuitive user experience. It has a strobe function, which is one of the most effective self defense tools available. In addition to USB charging, the LR35R may also support other charging methods such as solar panels or hand-cranked mechanisms.

Fenix LR35R (LR35R) specifications

Brand	Fenix
Name	LR35R
Type	LR35R
Rating	★★★★★ Rated 4/5 based on 1289 user votes.
Launch	2020
Form	flashlight

This Fenix flashlight is designed to be compact and handheld, making it easy to carry and maneuver.

Body

Weight	239 g
Length	140 mm
Body diameter	46.5 mm
Head diameter	51.5 mm
Material	aluminium alloy with HAIII hard-anodized finish
Colors	black

The 239 g flashlight would be considered moderately heavy for a handheld flashlight. The weight may provide advantages like increased durability or the ability to house larger batteries for longer runtime. The length of the LR35R flashlight can affect its portability. A shorter flashlight is generally easier to carry in a pocket, bag, or pouch, making it more convenient for everyday use or when you're on the go.

The aluminium bodies can be anodized, providing a protective layer and a wide range of color options for flashlight bodies. Anodizing enhances the corrosion resistance, hardness, and scratch resistance of the aluminum, while also allowing for a variety of attractive finishes. The HAIII process produces a hard and wear-resistant surface on the aluminum, making it more resistant to scratches, abrasions, and impacts. This improves the overall durability of the flashlight body. This flashlight features a captivating black color.

System

Emitter	6 x Luminus SST40 LEDs
Color temperature	5500 K
Reflector	SMO
Lens	AR coated glass
Switch	electronic side

The emitter of LR35R manufactured by Luminus, a US-based LED manufacturer. Luminus is recognized as a reputable LED manufacturer in the lighting industry. They are known for producing high-quality LEDs with excellent performance and reliability. Color temperature is a characteristic of light. It is measured in units called Kelvin (K) and is used to quantify the color appearance of light sources, particularly white light.

The smooth reflector is typically used in flashlights where long-range illumination is a priority, such as searchlights or thrower flashlights. By minimizing light scattering and maximizing light directionality, the smooth reflector can produce a tighter and more concentrated beam that reaches greater distances. The AR coating on the lens maximizes light transmission, making the flashlight more effective in darker environments. The LR35R utilizes electronic switch. Electronic switches on flashlights provide a range of advantages and additional features compared to mechanical switches.

Performance

Flux	10000 lm
Intensity	63200 cd
Throw	503 m
CD/LM factor	6.32

With 10000 lm, the LR35R flashlight will provide an exceptionally bright and powerful beam of light. It can illuminate large areas, outdoor spaces, or even act as a temporary spotlight in certain situations. 63200 cd represents an extremely high level of brightness for a flashlight. The throw distance refers to the maximum distance at which the flashlight can effectively illuminate an object or target. The stated throw distance typically indicates the point at which the brightness falls below a specified threshold, such as 0.25 lux. Flashlights with a higher cd/lm ratio typically excel in long-range throw and focused beam applications, while flashlights with a lower cd/lm ratio may provide a wider and more evenly distributed beam for closer-range illumination or general-purpose use.

Software

Modes	5 modes
Mode memory	yes
Ramping mode	no
Strobe	yes
SOS/Beacon	no

Modes on a flashlight refer to different output settings or levels of brightness that can be selected to suit different needs and preferences. The LR35R has mode memory. Mode memory means that the flashlight will remember the mode you were using when the light was last turned off, and when you turn it on again. The LR35R is tactical strobe ready. The strobe light is disorienting to the person it is aimed at which makes it difficult for them to concentrate.

Features

Battery	2 x 21700 Li-Ion batteries
Battery indicator	yes
Charger port	USB Type-C
LVP	yes
Thermal regulation	yes
Protection	IP68
Impact resistance	1 m
AUX LEDs	no
Magnetic	no

The Fenix LR35R flashlight is powered by 2 x 21700 Li-Ion batteries. The battery indicator lets you know when the battery is low, charging, or fully charged. USB rechargeable flashlights have become increasingly popular in recent years due to their convenience and sustainability. This flashlight has a built-in low voltage protection (LVP) to prevent damage to the cell from over-discharge, so protected cells are not necessary.

The LR35R has thermal protection feature. The thermal protection mechanisms are designed to monitor and regulate the temperature of the flashlight during operation. This feature helps prevent overheating, which can be detrimental to the flashlight's performance, battery, and overall safety. The "6" in the IP68 rating represents the level of protection against solid objects, specifically dust and foreign particles. It indicates that the LR35R flashlight, is fully protected against the entry of dust and other solid objects.

The LR35R flashlight with IP68 rating can withstand being submerged in water beyond 1 meter for a prolonged period, typically specified by the manufacturer. The impact resistance of a flashlight can vary depending on its design, construction, and intended use.

Accessories

Package contents	2 x 21700 batteries USB Type-C cable lanyard nylon holster spare o-ring

The flashlight package is thoughtfully equipped with a holster, offering you a practical and secure storage solution for your flashlight. The lanyard prevents accidental loss of the flashlight. When using spare O-rings, it's important to follow the manufacturer's instructions and guidelines for proper installation.

The performance of the Fenix LR35R flashlight is measured according to the ANSI / NEMA FL1 Standard 30 seconds after switching the light on. The ANSI/NEMA FL1 2009 Standard is a set of flashlight performance guidelines.
