Fenix PD35R ACE Flashlight

The tail switch feels solid and gives a satisfying click every time I use it, which matters when I'm fumbling in the dark. Lockout mode is a lifesaver for keeping it from draining in my bag, and the beam is bright enough to light up the whole backyard without any fuss.

The memory modes are a breeze to cycle through, and the beam spread is wide enough to light up my whole backyard without any hot spots. I’ve used it every night for a week and the battery meter hasn’t even blinked.

The tail switch is perfectly placed for one-handed operation, and the beam pattern throws far enough to light up the whole trail ahead of me. Battery life has been solid through several evening dog walks without needing a recharge.
