Fenix PD35 Flashlight Preview

High quality flashlight manufacturer Fenix just announced the release of a successor to their popular PD32 Ultimate Edition flashlight, the Fenix PD35 flashlight.  The Fenix PD35 will have a similar form factor to the PD32, but it will have an even brighter CREE XM-L U2 LED.  Let’s take a look at the specifications:

Fenix PD35 FlashlightOutput: 850 lumens turbo, 450 lumens high, 170 lumens medium, 45 lumens low, 10 lumens eco
Run time: 1.25 hours high, up to 140 hours in eco
Battery type: two CR123 lithium or one 18650 lithium-ion rechargeable battery
Dimensions: 5.5″ long x 1″ body diameter
Beam Distance: 185 meters (606 feet)
MSRP: $74.95

The coolest thing about the Fenix PD35 flashlight is the fact that it is so small, yet so bright.  It features Fenix’s dual pushbutton switches, with a tail switch for primary on/off and a body switch to select the brightness level.  Like it’s predecessor, the PD35 can run on either 2 non-rechargeable CR123 lithium batteries or a single 18650 rechargeable lithium-ion battery.  This dual-power option gives you a lot of versatility when using the flashlight.

The Fenix PD35 will have a broader beam pattern.  Instead of having minimal spill light with a bright center hot spot, the PD35 will have more of an even, floody beam with a bright hot spot and bright peripheral light.  It will have a beam distance of just over 600 feet.

The Fenix PD35 is expected to begin shipping in early July.  You can place your pre-order now on BrightGuy.com!  BrightGuy stocks over 500 different flashlight models and is an authorized distributor for ZebraLight, Streamlight, SureFire, Fenix, Underwater Kinetics, Princeton Tec, Petzl, LED Lenser, Pelican, and more.
