TheFenix E01 V2.0 is a pocket-sized EDC flashlight in the form of a pendant, which, after the upgrade, emits a beam of 100 lumens, has 3 useful light modes, a longer range and an economical driver with no standby current.
Lightweight and durable
The body of the Fenix E01 V2.0 flashlight is made of hardened aluminum, subjected to the HA-III hard anodizing process, making the flashlight's barrel and head resistant to scratches, abrasion and mechanical damage.
Having reduced the flashlight's dimensions by 5 mm, it is more manageable and comfortable to use. After the upgrade, the flashlight weighs only 13 g, almost half the weight of a popular stick battery.
The milled surface of the aluminum improves grip and prevents the flashlight from slipping from the hand. Activating the flashlight and changing modes is done conveniently, by rotating the head.
Harder and farther
The light source is a powerful Fenix E01 V2.0 LED, which in high mode emits a beam of 100 lumens with a brightness of 304 candelas and a range of 35 m. The light is evenly and widely dispersed thanks to an ultra-thin collimating lens.
Operating modes
The user has 3 light modes: low, medium and high. In high mode the flashlight can operate for up to 50 minutes, in low mode 5 lumens for up to 25 hours. The illumination with a flux of 5 lumens is completely sufficient for spot lighting a purse, toolbox or opening a door lock.
Power supply - lightweight and easily accessible
The flashlight is powered by a single AAA alkaline battery, which can also be replaced by a rechargeable Ni-MH battery. The advantage of such a power supply is its easy availability, low cost, and the unnoticeable weight of the flashlight.
The flashlight's long operating time is due to the use of a driver that does not consume standby power.
Rotary switch
Activation of the flashlight and changing modes is done with a rotary switch (rotation of the flashlight head), which can be conveniently operated with one hand. The minimalist interface makes the flashlight ideal for everyday use, where we usually just need quick access to light.
Safety features
The flashlight uses a system that protects the optical system from overheating. The diode in high mode generates a lot of heat, to reduce the temperature, the controller will automatically reduce the flux by a few lumens.
High protection class IP68 makes the flashlight resistant to total immersion in water (to a depth of 2 m), dust and dirt, and falling.
TheFenix E01 V2.0 is a lightweight and handy flashlight with an efficient light output, which is great for everyday use, as part of edc gear or as a backup flashlight.
The parameters shown were obtained under laboratory conditions. A 750 mAh Ni-mH battery and a Pairdeer alkaline battery were used during testing.
