Frequently asked questions

In which mode does the Fenix PD36R V2.0 run for up to 482 hours?

Up to 482 hours is the runtime measured by the manufacturer in the 5 lm Eco mode. If you need brighter light at close range, the 50 lm setting runs for up to 50 hours.

How do I change the brightness level on the PD36R V2.0?

Switch the flashlight on using the tail switch and cycle through the brightness levels with short presses of the side switch. The flashlight remembers the last constant-light setting used.

Can the Fenix PD36R V2.0 battery be charged directly in the flashlight?

Yes. Connect the charging cable to the flashlight's USB-C port. The included battery charges in approximately 2.5 hours with a fast-charging adapter rated at least 18 W. A green indicator light shows that the battery is fully charged.

When is the Fenix PD36R V2.0 the right choice?

The PD36R V2.0 is suitable if you use the same flashlight for both longer rounds and quick checks of distant objects. If you need an even longer beam distance and prefer to control the modes from the rear of the flashlight, consider the Fenix TK20R V2.0 with two tail switches.

Our recommendation

On an evening round, start at the 50 lm setting when checking a walkway or a nearby lock. In an open area, try the 350 lm setting and use a brighter light to check a more distant trail marker. Before switching off the flashlight, select the setting you want to start with next time. This allows you to use the mode memory, for example, to start the flashlight at a lower setting when entering a confined space.

Before a longer trip, check the battery charge and close the USB-C port cover after charging. The holster keeps the flashlight handy when you need it repeatedly on the move. When packing it in a backpack, loosen the flashlight body by half a turn as instructed in the user manual to prevent accidental activation. Tighten the body again before use. If you plan to take a spare battery, choose the same model as the one included with the flashlight.
