Because a lot of output is often at the expense of the beam distance, Fenix came up with the best possible solution! It is lightly crenulated, which I like because you’re able to tell if you accidentally turned the light on when it’s face down (not that it’s a particular problem with this like – I’m just speaking in general). But if I want to spot something further ahead - say a passing deer or a fox - I can enable the throw beam. The charging feature suits us well as the torch is always kept in a handy place and always charged up and ready to use. This little (3535 size) Luxeon LED has been around for a few years, had some testing done at BLF, and never really seemed to generate much interest in the enthusiast space.

foregos the usual knurling, and instead has a series of rings and grooves milled into the body that provide a reasonable amount of grip.Eine Beleuchtung der Taster, damit man die Tasten im dunkeln besser findet wäre eine echte Aufwertung, zumal ja die LEDs für den Akkustand eh schon dort plaziert sind. The torch features a USB-A discharging port which allows it to be used as a power bank for charging external digital devices. I usually take a torch with lots of spill when walking the dog - torches with no spill and lots of throw are pretty poor for actually seeing the ground in front of you.

The Fenix LR40R is a high-performance rechargeable flashlight that combines a spotlight and floodlight to blast a max 12000 lumens 2100 feet (700 yards). It has a good range of output levels and you can use it with just the floodlight, just the spotlight, or both together. This torch oozes quality and if you're contemplating getting it, you won't regret going for the LR40.LR40R Included Accessories: ARB-L37-12000 Fenix rechargeable Li-ion battery pack, USB Type-C charging cable, holster, lanyard and spare o rings. The LR40R has the IP68 rating, which will definitely come in handy for intensive users in harsh or humid conditions.

Those are button tops, and if you bring your own 18650 cells to the game, you’ll need button tops too. From locked, this will always go on to the lowest spot mode, a useful reset (however the flood mode and combined flood/spot does remember the level it was last used on). Our most popular categories: brightest flashlights, uv flashlights, best rechargeable flashlight, best headlamp. Because i'm always underground down mines and take a lot of photos, i needed a good torch to light the massive cathedral like chambers, the LR40R does the job perfectly. It is not that long ago that a flashlight with an output of a couple thousand lumens was labelled as 'impressive'.The 18 XP-G3 S4 LED lights in the edge of the head of the light create a beam I had never seen before. The option to just have flood is brilliant because in some chambers its so misty the beam of TK75 was spoiling photos because too powerful, but with this torch not a problem, and the spot is still there if need to see down a big long incline.

Also regarding low voltage protection – while the light steps down to Eco of the Spot emitter, the indicating switch is also blinking a single blue light (very quickly). We see a relatively deep and smooth reflector in the middle and a structured edge around the light source. And since the LR40R can be seen as two separate flashlights, and the total output and throw are also rated with “both lights” on their highest setting, I also tested this way. In addition to nature and meteorology Koen loves to show others what a light can do and what its beam looks like at night. For reference, here’s a baseline shot, with all the room lights off and almost nothing hitting the sensor.

The LR40R is also a very powerful powerbank thay will effortlessly charge your smartphone or tablet. Below my 'wall shots': The LR40R pointed at a white wall to make sure you can clearly see the colour and the profile of the light. Fenix recommends their 18650 cells (4 ARB-L18 18650 rechargeable batteries), if you aren’t using the provided battery. This torch is the best of both worlds - a wide beam with lots of spill and/or a focussed narrow beam with lots of throw - you choose!
