A few days ago, the Fenix company added a new, multifunctional tactical flashlight, the PD45R ACE, to its offer. It is a lightweight and compact product (157.7 x 30 x 25.9 mm, weight 200.5 g with the battery), which incorporates efficient components and several interesting solutions.
The heart of the new Fenix is the second-generation SFT70 emitter, which in the highest mode generates a light output of up to 3200 lumens and a brightness of up to 41,900 candelas. The light is cold white (6500K) and, according to the manufacturer's standards, can reach a distance of up to 410 meters. A noteworthy feature is the included ARB-L21-6000 (type 21700) battery, with a declared capacity of 6000 mAh. It provides at least 2 hours and 20 minutes of operation, and in the ECO mode (30 lumens, 327 candelas), it lasts up to 57 hours. Charging is done via a USB Type-C port, hidden under a screwable ring on the flashlight's housing – this solution allows the product to be waterproof.
The Fenix PD45R ACE focuses on versatility and wide applicability, supported by extended programming capabilities of the flashlight through the SET function and a rotary switch on the back of the housing. The user can choose between six mode groups, each offering different brightness settings. Additionally, a lock function on the ring protects against both accidental activation and unwanted deactivation of the device. On the back, there is a tactical multifunction switch that, in addition to the standard functions, provides quick access to the strobe mode.
The manufacturer guarantees that the new flashlight will perform well both in outdoor and tactical applications. It comes with a 5-year warranty, is resistant to drops from a height of 1 meter, and is protected against the detrimental effects of water and dust, with a high IP68 waterproof rating. Along with the flashlight, the buyer receives a battery, a holster, a lanyard, a USB Type-C cable, and spare seals. The Fenix PD45R ACE is also compatible with various mounts and additional accessories, including AER-04 and AER-05 remote switches. The new flashlight is priced at 167 USD at the official Fenixlighting store, but it is currently available at a promotional price of 129.95 USD.
