Great review. Fenix are high quality lights for sure. Have to admit the assorted skin designs for free is a BRIGHT idea. The only thing is can you fully operate the UI easily with one hand.
Well done Fenix for the different engraving designs they're offering, it's a good market strategy to attract many, and the flashlight is quit impressive for it's size. Hey Charles, till when is the coupon valid?
Hi Charles I tried this flashlight well, it's really super. But the tint is awful, it's the greenest light I've ever seen. It is only acceptable on the 1000-2000 and 3000 lumens level, the others are unwatchable. I have read other comments on the green SST70 led but only on low levels. Was I unlucky or is your flashlight so too? Thanks
I see no green tint in any of my Luminous SST-70 LED's in any of my lights. Do you have another family or friend can look at beam of your flashlight? Thanks for watching!
@@CharlesBridgTec In your video the PD36 TAC looks beautiful. I have probably received a bad copy, he will be forced to return it. Edit: Other users in other video_reviews of this flashlight also complained of a greenish tint
Thanks for the nice video, your beam shots are always interesting to decide before making a new purchase. I bought this light and it is on the way, just wondering how long it can stay on the 3000 lumens level before step down. Another reviewer says that in the first two minutes there seems to be no stepdown, have you ever held the Turbo levels (3000 lm) for two minutes? Thank you
Its lasts about 45 seconds, in warm weather. Maybe in colder climates it will last longer. Let me know what you think of it when you get it and try it out. Thanks for watching!
@@CharlesBridgTec Thanks for the reply. 45 seconds is not long, I was hoping for more ..but 3000 lumens for two minutes was too good to be true I will receive PD 36TAC on the weekend, I also bought the PD36R. I'll do some endurance tests on the Turbo with the lux meter, I live in the mountains but now it's hot here too. In winter, however, where I live it goes to -7 ° C or even -14 ° C I also asked Fenix but they only answered me for the PD36R version and I didn't understand their answer well (I don't know English and I use an online translator) Maybe if I understand correctly the "old" version PD36R has both a thermal sensor and a timed stepdown. I don't know anything about the TAC version though.
@@CharlesBridgTec Charles I received the flashlight, I did a simple test at home with a stopwatch and a lux meter (temperature in the house is 27 C °) In 60 seconds the power progressively decreases by 25% (Turbo level 3000 lumens) I repeated this test 2 times (after each test I waited for the flashlight to cool down well before starting the next test ) Using the tactical mode instead (High = 2000 lumens always at a temperature of 27 ° C - no fan - test repeated only 1 times ) everything is different, it remains stable for many seconds. It begins to descend very slowly only after about 40/45 seconds. After 1 minute it has dropped only by 7% or 8% and remains so for another 30 seconds - so I can say that after 90 seconds the descent is minimal. After 90 seconds the descent takes place more quickly and by the second minute it has lost 30% of its initial value. Please consider that the test took place indoors at 27C ° (80.6 Fahrenheit) and without a fan. Given the results I say that it is excellent behavior. This light outdoors with wind and/or low temperatures can do even better. I add that then Fenix answered me exhaustively on the PD36 TAC there is an intelligent thermal sensor without any Timer. I hope it is understandable (I use an online translator) Regards
As usual Charles, u make the BEST light reviews! Thank you👍
Thanks for the support and watching!

Discount code is good for 30 days. Thanks for watching!
It would be great to see a comparison between this and the Nitecore P20iX!
Two different beam types thought between the two. Thanks for watching!

Just ordered this light from BH photo.
Did you get it engraved? Thanks for watching!

Actually for its size 45 seconds is a long time.

Will this be a good option for 2024?
@@MynorP Yes. Thanks for watching!
Great flashlight video, do you like is the fenix flashlight?
Yes. Thanks for watching!
I haven't bought a fenix flashlight yet, it's a bit expensive, I'll definitely buy it later,
Hi Charles i want to know which is better for edc and outdoor camping this or pd36r
Both are about equal but different tail switch design which is up to you if you like or not. Thanks for watching!
Did I miss the lanyard? Mine didn’t come with one.
Lanyard was a typo caption. Thanks for watching!
please make comparison p20i vs pd36
My schedule is too busy with new lights to review. You can compare them using my night shots since I use the same are for both. Thanks for watching!
Великолепный обзор, как обычно! Хотелось бы увидеть именно Ваш обзор на Acebeam L19.
Я надеюсь получить L19 в будущем для рассмотрения. Спасибо за просмотр!
Does it have a battery indicator?
It has a charging status on battery but not on flashlight. Thanks for watching!
It would be cool to put the run times for turbo.
Specs are shown at the begining of video. Thanks for watching!
Lack of "moonlight" / "firefly" mode is disappointing
I disagree. Thanks for watching!

A black and white flag? Thats borderline disrespectful.
Thanks for watching!
why? also its laser engraving so you can't really have color options
I swear some people are just so soft!
Какое уважение должно быть? И главное за что?
