The latest generation of the high-performance Fenix PD35 V3.0 pocket flashlight delivers up to 1700 lumens (ANSI) and a range of up to 357 meters. Excellent light output has been achieved using the latest LED Luminus SFT-40. The flashlight is powered by a Li-ion 18650 2600 mAh battery (included), with custom micro-USB charging connector. The Fenix PD35 V3.0 features six different modes of light, allowing you to choose between high power and long life, which reaches up to 230 hours. One of the light modes is stroboscope, which is suitable for emergency situations. The flashlight is powered by a digitally regulated constant current to guarantee a constant light output even when the voltage in the batteries is reduced (when they are slowly discharging), when it is also equipped with an indication of the state of charge of the batteries. The PD35 V3.0 impresses not only with its small size and high performance, but also with its tactical switch and the possibility of attaching the Fenix AER-02 cable switch. We can therefore recommend it not only for all outdoor enthusiasts, but it will certainly find use in security forces and hunting.
All parameters of the flashlight (lumen output, battery life, waterproofness, range and shock resistance) are measured in accordance with ANSI/NEMA FL 1-2009.

Using of the Fenix PD35 V3.0
From the factory, there may be a black insulating cap inside the flashlight on the battery. Remove it from the battery before first use.
Press the switch located at the end of the flashlight to turn it on, press the button for immediate activation. Press the side button at the head of the flashlight to cycle through the five permanent light modes at any time during operation. To switch to strobe mode, hold the side button for approximately 0.5 seconds.
Intelligent Overheat Protection- If the temperature of the flashlight rises above 60°C, it will automatically begin to reduce power in gradual steps until its temperature stabilizes. As soon as the temperature of the lamp drops below 60°C, the power will automatically increase again to the original level.
Battery charge status indication- Each time the flashlight is turned on, the indicator LED in the side button of the flashlight is activated for three seconds. If the indicator LED is green the battery is more than 85% charged. Green flashing indicates 50-85% capacity. If it is red, the battery is 25-50% charged. Red flashing indicates less than 25% battery capacity remaining (only works when using a 18650 Li-ion battery).
Low Battery Warning - the flashlight gradually switches automatically to the lowest mode, then the indicator LED in the button flashes red three times every 10 minutes in the lowest mode. This indicates the need to charge the battery or replace it with a fully charged one.
Charging - Plug the USB cable into the side micro-USB connector on the battery, the indicator light on the top of the battery will glow red while charging. When the battery reaches full charge, the light turns green or blue. Charging time for a fully discharged battery is 3-3.5 hours.
Warning
- Do not disassemble the sealed parts in the head of the flashlight yourself, it will violate the warranty.
- Use only high quality 18650 Li-ion battery or 3V CR123A battery to avoid damage to the flashlight.
- If the protective rubber rings appear damaged after prolonged use, replace them. The rings should also be lubricated to prevent erosion of the rubber. By following these rules, the flashlight will be properly protected against water.
- If the flashlight is blinking, not switching to higher modes, or not lighting up, it may be due to one of the following reasons:
- Batteries are almost dead – charge the battery or replace it.
