Fenix CL22R is a practical portable rechargeable lantern that can be used to illuminate a room, tent, campsite, caravan, hut, boat or workbench. It offers a circular and downlight function with a range of up to 80 metres. It is operated by a rotary control with a central button. In addition, both lighting modes can be combined to achieve a total output of up to 500 lumens. With the rotary knob, the output of the lantern can be smoothly controlled in the range of 5 to 200 lumens.
The lantern is powered by a built-in Li-ion battery with a capacity of 2600 mAh, which is charged via a modern USB-C connector. The lantern offers a total of twelve lighting modes. In addition to the 360° illumination with 3000 K temperature, there is also a bottom light with 6500 K temperature, thanks to which the lantern can be used as a handheld flashlight and there is also a red light that does not interfere with the adaptation of the eyes to darkness. Also new is the coloured ambient lighting that will brighten up any garden party.
Bottom lighting is a very practical energy saving feature. It is particularly useful in situations where circular omnidirectional lighting is not needed or when we need to reach a greater distance with a narrower light cone as a handheld torch. The lantern is also equipped with an extended life function. For extended use in high modes, the lantern gradually reduces power to achieve longer light duration.
Thanks to the robust and impact-resistant construction with IP65 protection, the flashlight can be used safely even in bad weather (rain). The top of the flashlight is equipped with a hook. Thanks to its compact dimensions and 135 grams of weight, the flashlight is particularly suitable for camping and hiking.
All parameters of the lantern (luminous flux, battery life, waterproofness, range and shock resistance) are measured in accordance with ANSI/NEMA FL 1-2009.
Fenix CL22R won the ISPO Award 2024.

The flashlight has a memory and will always turn on in the last color mode that was running.
The lantern is equipped with a battery life extension function. For prolonged use in the high modes of each mode, the lantern gradually reduces power to achieve longer light duration.
Battery charge indication - Each time the lantern is switched on, the LED battery charge indicator is activated for 3 seconds. Four lit LEDs indicate the battery is over 80% charged, three lit 60-80%, two lit 40-60%, one lit 20-40% and one flashing LED indicates the battery is less than 20% charged.
Charging
To charge the lantern, flip off the rubber cap of the USB-C connector. Connect it using the included USB cable to your computer, USB network adapter or USB car adapter. You can also use a standard mobile phone charger with a USB-C connector or a power bank for charging. During charging, the indicator LEDs flash to show the charging progress. They will remain lit after charging is complete.
The battery doesn't suffer from memory effect, so it can be recharged at any time and there is no need to wait until it is discharged. Charging a fully discharged battery takes about 3 hours (depending on the strength of the charging source used).
The lantern can be used while charging, but the output is limited to a maximum of 100 lumens.
