Description
Fenix E28R V2.0 – 1700 Lumen EDC Flashlight
The E28R V2.0 is the 18650 sibling of the E35R: same side-switch layout and magnetic tail, but a slimmer 0.89" body and 4.52 oz with the battery, so it disappears in a pocket more easily. A Luminus SST40 LED gives 1700 lumens and 896 feet (273 m) of throw.
One small touch people notice: the ring around the side switch pulses softly when the light is off, which makes it easy to find in a dark tent or nightstand drawer. There is also a lockout, instant strobe and a two-way clip.
It charges through USB-C with the included ARB-L18-3400 18650, and in a pinch it will also run on two CR123A cells. The lowest level runs for 260 hours. IP68 rated.
