Fenix CL26R is an extremely durable bivouac flashlight with two colors of light, very long runtime, selectable light direction and practical charging via micro-USB port.
Fenix CL26R is a very lightweight, compact bivouac light, whose functionality, light performance and great durability will positively surprise all globetrotters, mountain enthusiasts and bushcrafters.
Thanks to the use of advanced material PC2805 of the German brand Bayern, the flashlight has an extremely robust construction, resistant to pressure of up to 1200 kg! Such a sturdy construction makes the light suitable for any form of outdoor activity, i.e. camping, camping in the woods, as well as demanding mountain climbing.
Fenix CL26R allows the use of two colors of light, i.e. white and red. The maximum flux of white light is as much as 400 lumens and in this mode the lamp works for up to 5 hours. There are still available modes: medium (150 lumens), low (40 lumens), low light 1 (3 lumens), low light 2 (25 lumens) and directional front light (25 lumens). The red light operates in two modes: continuous (1 lumen) and flash (1 lumen). It is worth noting that the wavelength of the red light is 622-720 nm, making it visible from as far as 500 meters.
The flashlight is also extremely functional due to the ability to choose the direction of light. Depending on the needs and situation, the user can use the following options:
- direct the light beam downward, for example, to illuminate the interior of the tent (two brightness modes)
- direct the light with a stream of 25 lumens forward, e.g. for reading
- use the standard diffused light, illuminating an area with a range of 25 m.
For switching on, changing the direction of light and brightness level, there is only one button, so we can comfortably operate the device even in total darkness.
Long operating time is provided by a powerful Fenix ARB-L18 18650 2600 mAh 3.6 V battery, which can also be replaced by two CR123 batteries. The flashlight is resistant to low temperatures, thanks to the use of a unique heat dissipation system, which creates a thermal protective layer around the power compartment and ensures good performance even in high frost.
A very practical and convenient solution is the ability to charge the battery via the built-in micro-USB port. This allows us to charge the battery anywhere and in any situation, we only need a micro-USB cable (included) and a power source such as a power bank, laptop or car USB charger.
We can attach the flashlight in 3 convenient ways:
- using a metal handle and carabiner to a backpack or tent tube
- using the thread for a photo tripod
- using the built-in magnet to most steel surfaces
IP66 rating makes the flashlight resistant to dust, heavy rain and temporary flooding with water.
Fenix CL26R is a modern camping lamp that is sure to become an indispensable companion for many hikers, forest campers and extreme sports enthusiasts.
