Spotlight Fenix PD35 V3.0: a compact yet powerful torch for all-purpose use

The Fenix PD35 V3.0 is a high-quality, compact torch with an impressive light output of 1700 lumens and a beam distance of 357 metres. This updated version is designed to provide professionals and outdoor enthusiasts with a reliable light source in a variety of situations. The PD35 V3.0 combines user-friendliness, power and versatility in a handy size, making it an indispensable tool for various applications.

Upgrades

The Fenix PD35 V3.0 builds on the success of its predecessors, the PD35 V2.0 and the original PD35 model. Whereas the first generation was already praised for its compact size and high light output, the V2.0 version has brought improvements such as a more robust construction and a more efficient beam. The PD35 V3.0 goes one step further with an increased light output of 1700 lumens, compared to the 1000 lumens of the V2.0. In addition, the maximum range has increased from 250 metres with the V2.0 to 357 metres with the V3.0. The light modes have also been refined, and the V3.0 now features an improved battery indicator and a metal side switch that is more wear-resistant. These upgrades not only make the PD35 V3.0 more powerful, but also more versatile and durable in use.

Compact yet robust

Despite its compact dimensions (14 cm long and weighing just 85 grams without battery), the Fenix PD35 V3.0 offers exceptional performance. The lamp's durable design, made of high-quality aluminium, ensures excellent shock resistance and IP68 certification, making it fully water-proof and dust-proof. This makes the PD35 V3.0 suitable for use in the most demanding conditions, from heavy rain to dusty environments.

Versatile light modes

The Fenix PD35 V3.0 features five different light modes and a strobe mode, allowing you to easily adjust the light intensity to the situation. The lowest mode, Eco, offers 5 lumens and an impressive burn time of 230 hours, ideal for situations where you want to maintain night vision. The highest mode, Turbo mode, delivers a whopping 1700 lumens, making this torch suitable for tasks requiring optimal lighting.

The light modes are listed here:

• Eco: 5 lumens, burn time of approx. 230 hours
• Low: 50 lumens, burn time of approx. 26 hours and 25 minutes
• Mid: 150 lumens, burn time of approx. 8 hours and 30 minutes
• High: 600 lumens, burn time of approx. 2 hours and 35 minutes
• Turbo: 1700 lumens, burn time of approx. 1 hour and 25 minutes
• Strobe: 1700 lumens

The torch will automatically switch back to a lower mode after five minutes of Turbo mode to prevent overheating.

Power and battery indicator

The Fenix PD35 V3.0 runs optimally on a rechargeable 18650 Li-ion battery (which is included), but it is also compatible with two CR123A batteries. The side switch, made of wear-resistant metal, also functions as a battery indicator. The indicator shows the battery status using coloured LED lights: green means fully charged, flashing green means sufficiently charged, red means almost depleted and flashing red means please charge now. This feature is particularly useful to ensure that you never run out of power unexpectedly.

Prevent a too deeply discharged battery

To optimise the lifespan of the battery, always make sure to unscrew the tail cap a bit if you're not going to be using it for a while. Charging regularly prevents the battery from slowly draining, which could cause a deep discharge that might irreversibly damage the battery. For torches with a built-in battery that cannot be removed, it is recommended to recharge the lamp every three to four months, even when it is not in use.

Included accessories and parts

The Fenix PD35 V3.0 comes with a number of useful accessories to further enhance its ease of use and durability. The Fenix PD35 V3.0 comes with Fenix ARB-L18-26000 battery, micro-USB charging cable, wrist strap, holster, spare o-ring, user manual and warranty card. This complete set ensures the PD35 V3.0 is ready for use, whether you're going out in nature or adding this torch to your professional gear.

Conclusion

With its powerful performance, versatile light modes and robust design, the Fenix PD35 V3.0 is an excellent choice for anyone looking for a compact, reliable torch. Whether you're an outdoor enthusiast, a professional dealing with emergency situations or a demanding user; this torch has got you covered.
