#FENIX#LR40R#FlashlightReviews - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
Wow I love the combination flood / throw or one or the other options..great job again Mr. Charles!
Thanks for watching!
This series of light has been awesome and one of my favorite over the last 8+ yrs.
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for sharing this.this will be my first fenix.
Thanks for watching!
Charles, another stellar review, and one I’ve been waiting for since this flashlight was announced. To have the review done by you is the best of all!
Your format is excellent, and the consistency you utilize from one flashlight model to another makes it very easy to compare them. The fence line, the palm trees, the school and of course “The Tree of Life” being used in all of them makes me feel like I am really there. Awesome, man.
This light will be coming my way after my next payday. It will be perfect on the farm.
And I guess I will once again think, “this is the best light ever!” only to have a new model come along and prove me wrong down the line... but the end result is having a handful of really good flashlights in different places so one has one when they need it. The LR40R will absolutely make a big difference for me at night, and a great one to amaze my friends with once again.
THANK YOU Charles!
I agree its a keeper for me too. Thanks for the support & watching!
I look forward to you adding this amazing flashlight to your Banggood Store -- GREAT review !!
Thanks for watching!
Excellent review, just ordered one ...thank you so much.
YW! Thanks for watching!
Fantastic light, and review.
Thanks for watching!

Strong thinking and marketing.
Excellent review!
Yes indeed. Thanks for watching!
LOL I love when you say we are out here in the darkness, cracks me up!
Thanks for watching!
@@CharlesBridgTec thanks for making the vids, I've been subscribed for years. Wish I would get my taxes back, then I can order something....not this beastly sadly, but beastly.
Love the ease of just USB rechargeable light. Good for on the go; car charge, truck, campers, home, work. Looks like a great search light!
Thanks for watching!
Very nice light...! I love the option to have flood and throw independently as well as together at the same time...VERY BRIGHT...!!!
Thanks for watching!
@@CharlesBridgTec most welcome...!
My first was the tk72r and I believe this has to join it,great light :)
Thanks for watching!
I hope more brands start getting this approach, flood + throw, just like the Acebeam X70 too, but with less flood LED's so the battery life can be extended a bit more I guess. Awesome product.
Thanks for watching!
I just bought the version 2 of this flashlight. It has a sealed battery compartment and a brand new interface for the power switches. They mirrored the O Light mini marauder 2 with the interface. The version 2 is incredible. I love it. If you can get you kebab date in one to review you should. I guess you have a separate room in your house just to display all these flashlights. It’s a sickness. Keep up the good work!!
Thanks for watching!
I recently picked up the Wurkkos version, the TS32. I love the concept of two flashlights in one. Heat management is good as it will keep a steady 1200 lumen for nearly 3 hours. The UI is similar except Fenix does press & hold to turn off... a deal killer right there!
Thanks for watching!
Fantastic light!!!!
Thanks for watching!
Wow I like the light... Nice video bro 👍👍👍
Thanks for watching!
On paper this outperforms by a mile the Olight X7R that I just bought on the Olight Elite sale but I'm glad to see this kind of competition. Olight will have to come out with the X7R II now. I love the combo flood/spot and the cell phone/GPS charging port feature, that makes a lot of sense for taking this light into the deep woods or desert.
Thanks for watching!
On paper 📝 Fenix always understates. If it beats olight on paper, it beats olight
Mine came in today. Do both of your buttons feel the same when you press them? The one on the right seems mushier than the one on the left. Also, have you noticed any condensation on the lens when you run both turbo modes at the same time? My right button seems to not be as clicky as the left button and I've got condensation on the center of the lens when both modes are on turbo. After 5 minutes the condensation goes away. Thank you!
That can happen if outdoor temp is low specially on the higher outputs. As for the button, I would use the flashlight for a bit longer to see if they balance out. Thanks for watching!
Charles BridgTec thank you and you’re right. I was outside and the temp was around the low 50’s. I figured these heads were sealed though but I guess moisture from the battery compartment can creep into the head. Thanks again for the insight.
Fenix makes some quality lights.
Thanks for watching!
@@CharlesBridgTec thanks for content. Very helpful.
Thanks for another great video. This may be a dumb question but here goes!! Can you mix and match any level on the flood side with any level on the throw side?
Yes you can run both flood and throw as well as on any level. Thanks for watching!
This is really fascinating, keep up the videos! Have you looked into any solar powered flashlights?
Yes I have review a solar power light with power bank feature on my channel.
My eyes were as big as silver dollars when you said 12,000 Lumens BridgTec.
Yes indeed. Thanks for watching!
Great review, with all those lumens I was really hoping they would have given the thrower portion a bit more lumens to pull from. But nice light either way.
Thanks for watching!
Hi mate awesome videos, subscribed...
Been looking at alot of flashlights of lately and just bought the acebeam K75 what an awesome thrower, now I'm looking for a flood flashlight which would you recommend if you didn't have a budget? Apart from the imalent ones, i don't want a noisy flashlight... Many thanks.
Dave from the UK 🔦🔦🔦👍🏼😊
Thanks for watching!
This light seem pretty comparable to my Niwalker MM18iii which I Love!
Thanks for watching!
I have this flashlight and it may not be a 60,000 or even 100,000 lm beast but it’s 12,000 lm output is more than enough and I wonder if it’s actually more than that because it lights up the park near me at night really really well... I can see the astonishment on other people’s faces when I “accidentally “ light them up as they are taking a night stroll. I have the ace beam 60,000 beast but it’s so damn big!! And yes, it’s a noticeable difference between 12,000 and 60,000 lumens but still..12,000 lumens is A LOT OF LIGHT. Besides I really like the fact that you can control the flood and the spot independently because I use it sometimes to walk my dogs at night and when I don’t want to shoot too much light out in the distance at homes I just flick off the spotlight and still have plenty of light with just the flood mode..then when I want to see if there is a stray dog or a stranger out in the distance coming near me I just throw on the spotlight and boom !!..I can see any damn thing far out coming at me. For me, someone who likes to walk their dogs at night in a neighborhood full of homes , this little monster works great. ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT
Thanks for watching!
The 100.000 lm drops after 5 minutes to 6.000 for 1 hour.This holds 12.000 for a full 45 minutes!!!!!!!It also holds 6.000 lm up to 2 hours!!!!!!!!!!!!There is no comparison.this is the best flashlight you can buy.If they make that central throw 2.000 or 1.500 instead of 1.000 lm you just have the best flashlight ever produced.
Does it do the search beacon mode where it blinks every 4 or 5 seconds? I love that mode since it keeps rats off my patio as long as I let it do that mode for a couple nights shortly after noticing they moved in.
No. Thanks for watching!
Hi nice review how much time we can use this on higher setting and how much heat the flashlight gets if we uses it for 10 minutes at higher settings how much backup it gives on single charge at higher settings
It runs the at the 1000 lumens without step down on the thrower. The flood light will run 5k lumens without step down and the light will get really warm. Thanks for watching!
Waw. flashlight every day.. 😃😀
Thanks for watching!
Hi Charles, congratulations for the channel which is my point of reference before buying a flashlight. I wanted to ask you this: I own the Fenix lr40r and i would like to buy the Imalent mr90, is it worth it? is it a significant improvement? which one is better of the two in your opinion? thanks in advance and have a nice day :)
Definitely throws farther because the Luminus LED is superb. More lumens in the flood as well. LR40R is my favorite Fenix light. So you cannot go wrong with either or both. Thanks for watching!
Hey Charles, i always watch one of your reviews before buying a new torch 👍😂
One question, i had a Feenix LR40R and loved it for going underground down old mines, but my friend lost his Fenix so i gave him my Feenix as a present and i decided to buy a new torch for myself. I bought the Acebeam x45 but hated the yellowish hotspot, so was thinking of buying the imalent DX80. Is it better than the LR40R?? Or should i just buy another Fenix?
Well the Imalent DX80 is alot brighter and heavier as well. It has a very nice flood beam. Runtimes are pretty good at 10k lumens. Thanks for watching!
@@CharlesBridgTec my imalent DX80 arrived yesterday so i went down an abandoned mine to test it out. Wow, your right, its a Jesus light, i said exactly same thing 😂. I thought my Fenix LR40R was good for lighting up cathedral size chambers underground, but the imalent has an even further throw. Wasn't too keen in the Fenix for taking photos underground because its a yellowish light, but imalent is a perfect colour and no hotspot. I made video of trip underground in my TH-cam page, and everything is crisp and detailed, usually rocks would be a bit out of focus in distance, but not with imalent, everything crystal clear. I gad smile on my face. I kept it on 1500 lumens most the time, seems much brighter. What a torch 👍😂
th-cam.com/video/xn3gWgOHnnM/w-d-xo.html
Hi, Im choosing between LR40R and the TK75. Which would you personally choose and why. Looking forward to your suggestion.
I like the LR40R a little over the TK75. Both are excellent lights. Thanks for watching!
Great Reviews- Love the light but looks like too large and heavy for my petite wife. Can you recommend a very good general use, somewhat rugged light with a decent flood and throw. We have a cheap Maglite bright spot, no flood- Thanks for your great reviews!
Check out the Imalent MS03, MS06 or Nitecore i4000R. I did reviews of all of them on my channel. Thanks for watching!
this seems like an awesome overall light with the combo beam... but is it outclassed today?
Maybe by a few but still one of my favorites from Fenix. Thanks for watching!
I’m looking for a spotlight to legally look at deer in fields- will this work? Or is there something else by fenix which would be better?
This or the Nitecore TM26GT are excellent search lights. Thanks for watching!
Awesome review as always just wondering when using the ld40r with 18650’s are they able to be charged in light like the battery pack can
Yes. Thanks for watching!
Awesome videos as usual... I have a acebeam k75 and an astrolux mf01s for flood but I'm wanting a better flood us this fenix alot more powerful flood than the 15000 astrolux mf01s? Many thanks.
The Fenix LR40R is one of my facorote models from them. As far a light output it would be a bit more intense but also way more expensive over the AstroLux. Its really hard to beat the AstroLux for its price though. Thanks for watching!
@@CharlesBridgTec or the acebeam x80gt?
How does it compare to a rc40 , i am looking for a long distance search light . Size doesnt matter , light does
RC40 is quite old as for it uses XM-L2 LED and was updated in 2016. I like the LR40R for you have the best of both worlds if you need it. Thanks for watching!
Although I have and use so many other brands... Fenix was however my very first LED flashlight I purchased many years ago.
Thanks for watching!
Between the Olight x7r and this Fenix wich one do you prefer?
The Fenix LR40R because you can run 18650 or battery pack. Thanks for watching!
FYI if you use two lanyard holes next to each other the lanyard is not be pinched if you tail stand the light.
Thanks for watching!
Great idea, thank you!
I returned mine. The flood was amazing, the throw not so much. Hoping the LR50R is better.
Thanks for watching!
2022 and it still looks like the best buy for me, I've looked at Olight Marauder 2 but it is so much more expensive and doesn't give much more (if anything for my use cases anyway).
If you still read comments here, is it true that it doesn't have a 1/4-inch hole for tripods? That is the only thing I'm missing, especially with the floodlight mode. But I imagine there are 3D-printing models out there already so I don't even have to design one myself 😁
Correct. Does not have a tri-pod hole. Thank you.
@@CharlesBridgTec OK, thanks for a quick response 👍
Deserves a sub for sure 😁
@@CharlesBridgTec just have to warm up the 3D printer when I get it then😁
This iraq vet says thanks for the great review!
Thanks for your service and watching!
Hi I am interested in this flashlight can you please tell me how much heat this generates if we use this in 12000 for 5 minutes
It will generate heat like any normal high powered light, but will cycle down for safety. You get the best of both worlds of flood and throw. Thanks for watching!
Which do prefer if you were to only have one, Fenix Lr40r or Acebeam x45? Help me to decide.
Fenix LD40R. Thanks for watching!
Thank you Charles for helping me to decide. Have a nice day.
Hi Charles.When I put 4 separate Fenix batteries, the flashlight works without problems. So what is the function of the small spring button in the middle of the original built-in battery?
Extra ground. Thanks for watching!
@@CharlesBridgTec Does this mean that using separate batteries without a base works as efficiently as the original built-in one?
@@sami-faisal Yes. You will be fine
@@CharlesBridgTec good thanks
@@sami-faisal You're welcome.
Niwalker has a similar model. Thrower/Flooder. Do you think it is as good as the Fenix one ?
I have done reviews of a couple of thiers which I have but the level of flood light output is less and the are about the same in price as well. If you can get a Niwalker cheap or on sale then it shoud do well for you. I really love the flood and thrower all in one combos. Thanks for watching!
@@CharlesBridgTec Thank you. I really like your reviews.
Hey Charles! Just got the Fenix LR40R a couple of weeks ago. Love the light overall - BUT - those Sharp Edges! 😲 🔪🩸
Both on the head and tail cap. Makes no sense. My LD75C is super comfortable to hold. Seems like the factory forgot to tumble the body segments after machining the LR40R. Fenix says they are going to send me a replacement tube. But I have a feeling this is a problem with the whole model run with how often I have heard this mentioned by others.
Have you observed this with your model Charles? 🤔
No issues with my sample. Thanks for watching!
Some comments said it becomes very hot when turn on turbo mode, which like burn your hand. Do feel that?
Sir🙏
Which will be best to buy Fenix lr 35r Or Lr 40r?
If price is not a problem go for the LR40R. Thanks for watching!
i want this flashlight fully rechargable without take out the battery like tk72r
Thanks for watching!
The only advantage I have found with this designed holster is being able to recharge whilst the light is in it. I have the LR50R and as much as I love this light, the green tint in the lower modes lets it down, imho. It's not a light to be used inside unless green is your thing. At this high price point, we should expect the 70.2 led to be used in these units, but they are not.
I see no green in my sample. Thanks for watching!
have you tested the fenix lr35r? that's the one I went with for size reasons
No they have not sent that to me. Thanks for watching!
I just got the lr35r and i really like it for being out with the dog at night or just turning my yard into daylight at night

Is the TK75 a thrower only ?
Its a combination beam. Thanks for watching!
I need a phenomenal light for treasure hunting 1-5 foot deep fast moving rivers. I don’t need the light to be submerged at all times but obviously it will dip in a few times. Please give feed back on what you think. I wish I had a place to test this out. Your video is great but I love personal experience.
Well this Fenix you messaged me here is nice or the TK72R. What is your budget like? What beam type do you want? What size o you want? There are alot of factors to consider. Thanks for watching!
@@CharlesBridgTec size is irrelevant and i need to see the bottom of the river at night. the river is mostly 4-5 feet deep as i walk along. budget is 300 or less. i need the beam to punch to the bottom but i have alot of ground to cover so i need more than just a few inches of spot at a time.
@@northwoodsdiscovery6962 Check out my review of the Wurkkos DL40 which is water proof.
@@CharlesBridgTec i would hate to lose all the lumens all the way down to 4-5k.
Hi chalrles . I have a question.. I have a problem with Lr40r batteries. Half of the battery charge runs out within two weeks of being fully charged without using what is the reason?
Are you refuring to back pack? I would manually lock out the light for better storage life. Thanks for watching!
@@CharlesBridgTec
When fully charged 100% and stored in the home locker, the charge loses after two weeks 50% without use. I disconnect the battery from the device but to no avail!
@@sami-faisal Then your battery pack is faulty and needs to be replaced.
@@CharlesBridgTec
Ok . Thank you charles 👍
Also one last thing. You can run regular 18650 protected cells in it as well.
Hi charle. The built-in battery has expired and I need a replacement. Can 4 separate batteries be used?
Yes. They will need to be button top protected cells. I use the Fenix cells without issues. Thanks for watching!
@@CharlesBridgTec How do I put a button on top of a cells?
@@sami-faisal You can buy small magnets that can stick to the top of the cells.
@@CharlesBridgTec What is the use of this magnet? If you put 4 separate batteries, the flashlight will work just fine
@@sami-faisal To make them button top like.
They still didn't fix the SOS signal problem, did they?
I have no issues with mine. Thanks for watching!
Charles BridgTec In your video is a problem with sos. The brake betwen flash is to long.
Lr40r or tk72r? Which one?
I like the LR40R cause you get the best of both worlds! Thanks for watching!
Thats a light!
Yep. Thanks for watching!
Thnx for this but i ask u Where is the Phoenix Corporation headquarters?
You can Google closes location of a Fenix support center to you. Thanks for watching!

Ok thnx my freind i ll buy this flashlight 😊
Hey Charles, thank you for the reviews, I am considering getting the LR40R, I want a 1-time buy flashlight that will last me years to come.
LR40R seems future proof, with flood and throw features + USB C and battery being able to discharge. In Australia, this costs roughly 350. I am happy to go up to $500, are there any others you would recommend around this range as an all-around flashlight? pls and thank you.
You can use my special discount code: TWENTYBACKNOW save $$. As for $500? I am not seeing that price anywhere. Much cheaper. You can use the link in this video to purchase it much cheaper. Thanks for watching!
@@CharlesBridgTec I think they are talking about Australian dollars, which are usually weaker than the American dollar, so things cost more when bought in Australian dollars.
please make a lr40r vs tk72r
I will in the future. Thanks for watching!
