PD35 v3.0 Rechargeable Tactical Flashlight, 1700 Lumens EDC with Battery and Organizer (Black)

I purchased an older version of this model many years ago, and then it was dropped on my garage concrete floor. It would still be working otherwise. It was a great flashlight, and I was sure that the newer models would not match the brightness and durability of the older model. I was wrong :) The PD35 V3.0 is very bright and has the same heavy-duty metal that the old one was made with. I really like the new 4-stage brightness button that allows you to extend battery life if necessary. The new battery features a built-in C connection at the top of the actual battery for charging, eliminating the need for a separate battery charger. Perfect! It also comes with the same nice carry case. Great job, Fenix! Keep up the good work!

A great, easily carried VERY bright light with an extremely long battery life. Also EXTREMELY durable.

I've owned this for a couple years now. I don't carry this on me everyday. My only gripe with this is the pocket clip sits so low on the body that a good 1 inch or so sticks out. I would assume this is for tactical reasons to be able to draw your light quickly, but for everyday use it feels more secure with a deep carry clip sitting lower in the pocket. I used to carry the Fenix ld30 because of that, but I've since lost two of those and have a pd25r on the way to carry everyday. Fenix is my favorite brand and I will continue buying those for everyday carry for as long as I live. It's got more than enough settings. It has a temporary on off switch. Push the button down slightly and you can hold it for as long as you want and it'll turn off when you let go. If you want to turn it on, push the button fully it clicks and it stays on for hours. It does get very very hot and turbo mode and regular high setting. My kid left it in turbo mode for 10 minutes on the floor one day and I read the temperature and it measured 143° at the front. The low setting is what I use the most because the beam is so concentrated. The 10 lumens is plenty good enough for what I need. When I need a little more throw I can change it to medium and that's plenty enough to light something 30 yd away or more. I do like that it has memory mode so it will turn back on to the last setting that you changed it to no having to cycle through settings from high to low or low to high like other flashlights to get what you want . This light is always the one sitting on the counter for me to use so I do use it daily and my kid plays with it quite a bit. It has held up just fine and still looks brand new. I've dropped it a couple times and it hasn't broken yet. I highly recommend Fenix flashlights. The three that I've owned have been amazing and as mentioned I will keep buying more and more

This flashlight is incredibly bright at its brightest settings. Brightness levels go from "dim" to "holy crap" on a rough lumen scale. The battery lasts forever. I use it nightly to walk the dogs (30-60 minutes daily) and charge the flashlight maybe every 3 or 4 MONTHS. It is well-made, solid, and durable - I have dropped it on a rough blacktop road while running and had it bounce along the ground for 15 feet and it keeps on functioning like a champ. Buttons are easy to press.

Love this thing! Lasts quite a while. Only downside would be that it gets pretty hot so you’ve gotta hold it carefully when using it long periods of time.

This is an ideal EDC flashlight. The brightness is truly remarkable and clean! Initially, I had some reservations about it not having an adjustable light beam, but this flashlight doesn't need it. It has an ultra-focused bright center beam and has excellent floodlighting as well. You really can't ask for better. My single issue with the light is how hot it gets. Yes, many other reviewers have touched on this and although it's only an issue in its brightest setting, it remains an issue. One thing I've noticed that can help rectify the problem is if you hold the flashlight along the middle-to-tail-end of the flashlight's body. It has a hyper-hot point towards the front of the battery/bulb. Excellent flashlight.

Lights up everything at night, very bright

I have been using Fenix PD32 lights for well over 10 years now and I have always liked them. I appreciate their simple user interface and performance as well. I especially appreciate the performance on low modes. Once I discovered the PD35 V3 also had impressive run times in low (and comes in green), I was immediately interested. I'm happy to say that my light came with a 3400 mah battery with a usb-c port rather than the smaller capacity battery that used to come with this light. The back of the box even indicates longer runtimes reflecting the use of the improved 3400 mah battery. I can't guarantee that other people will receive the upgraded battery, but I suspect that all "newer" stock ships with it. Just like my older Fenix PD light, this is going to live in my backpack for years.
