TheFenix WT25R is a multifunctional industrial flashlight with a maximum light output of 1,000 lumens, equipped with an angle-adjustable head, magnetic mounting necessary for work that requires free hands, and a convenient charging system via a magnetic cable.
Fenix WT25R is a powerful angle flashlight, which, thanks to its functionality, easy mounting, convenient charging and the ability to adjust the angle of the beam, will prove useful not only in workshop work, but also in everyday activities requiring free hands.
Modern technology and functionality of the angle flashlight
The Fenix WT25R has a minimalist design that harks back to the style of military angle flashlights used by the military in the second half of the 20th century. The body is shaped like a slender cuboid with a fluted surface, so it does not slip from the hand, is handy and comfortable to use. The housing of the Fenix WT25R is made of anodized aluminum and durable polymer, so the flashlight is not only resistant to damage, but also lightweight (weight with batter 137 g).
The element that distinguishes the flashlight is a movable head with an angular adjustment of 105°. Such functionality allows you to direct the light at the angle of your choice, making it ideal for all kinds of repairs, inspections and illuminating harder-to-reach places. Among the desirable features of any workshop flashlight are ease and versatility of mounting. That's why the Fenix WT25R uses a dual mounting system, i.e. a wide steel clip that allows you to carry the flashlight by your belt, pocket or bag, and a magnetic tip that allows you to quickly attach the flashlight to steel surfaces. Regardless of the attachment method chosen, the user's hands remain free, allowing for activities requiring two hands.
1,000 lumen output diode
The light source is a new generation Cree XP-L HI LED, emitting a maximum light output of 1000 lumens at a distance of as much as 220 meters. The neutral light color does not tire the eyes, provides more natural color rendering and better visibility of details. The user has 4 modes of constant light (turbo, high, medium, low) and 2 modes of flash light (strobe and SOS). This allows us not only to adjust the light output to our needs, but also to influence the flashlight's working time.
All flashlight operations, i.e. turning on, off and changing modes, are handled by a single side button with a built-in battery level indicator. The LED indicator clearly informs about the battery status, so we can manage the energy reserve more efficiently.
Convenient magnetic charging
To power the flashlight, the manufacturer used a replaceable Fenix ARB-L18-3400 cell with a capacity of 3400 mAh. According to the manufacturer, the battery used provides up to 220 minutes of operation in maximum mode of 1000 lumens or up to 29 hours in low mode of 50 lumens. In addition, thanks to the function of the battery level indicator (LEDs in the side switch), we can control the operation of the flashlight and manage the remaining energy reserve. Whenever the switch is pressed (on the flashlight's off mode), the LEDs inform us in real time about the status of the battery.
The Fenix WT25R uses a convenient charging system that does not require removing the battery from the flashlight. Charging is done with a magnetic cable and a gold-plated plug. When the magnetic cable is brought close to the socket, the plug is spontaneously plugged into the port. Such a solution is convenient, protects the port and the cable from mechanical damage (jerking out), and excludes the need to check whether the plug is properly plugged in for charging.
Additional features
The flashlight uses protection against overheating, reverse polarity, lock against accidental activation and memory mode. This function remembers and starts the flashlight in the last mode we used before turning off the flashlight. The body of the Fenix WT25R is IP66-rated, so it is resistant to the effects of heavy rain, dust ingress and a drop from a height of 1m.
