Fenix E35R – 3100 Lumen Rechargeable EDC Flashlight
The E35R packs 3100 lumens into a 4.72" body by building around a 21700 cell and a Luminus SST70 LED. That makes it one of the brightest EDC flashlights you can still carry in a pocket. The beam is tuned wide and soft rather than throwy, with 853 feet (260 m) of reach, which suits walking, working around a truck or lighting a room.
Everything runs from one mechanical side switch, including instant strobe. There is a lockout to stop it turning on in a pocket, a magnetic tail so it can stick to a fridge or car door, and a USB-C port in the body that charges the included ARB-L21-5000 battery in the light.
The honest trade-off is that 3100 lumens from a small light makes heat, so turbo steps down after a short run. For most EDC use the middle modes are where it lives, and those run for hours. At 5.22 oz with the battery it is heavier than an AA light but lighter than most 21700 tactical lights.
