Durable Construction and Ergonomics of Fenix PD35 V3.0

The flashlight body is made of anodized A6061-T6 HA-III aluminum, ensuring high resistance to damage. The transverse knurling on the surface improves grip and facilitates heat dissipation. The crenulated bezel protects the optics and allows the flashlight to be used for self-defense. Compact dimensions (134 mm length, 84 g weight without battery) and a titanium clip ensure easy carrying on a belt, backpack, or tactical vest. Operation is performed using two switches: the tail switch (ON/OFF, momentary-on) and the side switch (mode change, strobe).

Lighting Performance of Fenix PD35 V3.0

The light source is a LUMINUS SFT40 LED, generating a maximum output of 1700 lumens (for 85 minutes in turbo mode). The cool white light is optimal for tactical applications, providing maximum brightness and effective illumination of terrain and distant objects. Thanks to the SFT40 emitter and a smooth reflector, the beam is concentrated, reaching a distance of up to 357 m. These parameters enable precise illumination and effective operation during patrol activities, making the Fenix PD35 V3.0 an effective tactical and EDC flashlight.

Operating Modes and Intuitive Control of Fenix PD35 V3.0

The flashlight offers 5 constant light modes (turbo, high, medium, low, eco) and a strobe flashing mode. Operation is carried out using two switches: the tail switch (ON/OFF, momentary-on) and the side switch (mode change, strobe activation). This configuration ensures intuitive operation for uniformed services and hunting.

Power Supply and USB-C Charging

The Fenix PD35 V3.0 is powered by the Fenix ARB-L18-3400U V3.0 rechargeable battery (included), providing up to 230 hours of runtime in eco mode. The battery features a built-in USB-C charging port, eliminating the need for an external charger. A USB-C cable (included) and a power source (e.g., power bank, laptop) are sufficient for charging. Alternatively, the flashlight can be powered by disposable CR123 batteries, recommended in low temperatures due to their resistance and lack of self-discharge.

Battery Status Monitoring

The Fenix PD35 V3.0 flashlight features a battery level indicator, displayed by an LED in the side switch for 3 seconds after activation. The indicator works exclusively with Fenix ARB-L18 batteries. Additionally, a low-voltage warning function informs about the need to charge or replace the cell.

Battery level indications:

• solid green light: 100-85%,
• flashing green light: 85-50%,
• solid red light: 50-25%,
• flashing red light: 25-1%.

Additional Features and Protections

The Fenix PD35 V3.0 remembers the last used brightness mode. It boasts a high IP68 protection rating, ensuring resistance to dust, submersion in water up to 2 m, and drops from 1 m. Integrated protections include overheating protection, reverse polarity protection, and digital current regulation.
