The poor design makes finding the side button difficult. Grip is difficult, due to the poor knurling. Other than low mode, whatever light this flashlight offers is only fleeting. Heck, the clip does not hold the flashlight in a pocket. The clip is useless, because it does not hold the flashlight on a belt, and carries far too high in a pocket. The overly-complocated button system is difficult to use.

It has low CRI, so colors appear incorrectly. It still uses the archaic micro USB interface. While shopping for the newest Fenix PD36R I wanted to test its little sibling. Originally launched in 2015, it still holds its own. Fenix added the TAC behind the model name in order to show the difference between the original PD35 and this Tactical version. Thr clip puts the flashlight at entirely the wrong place. The Fenix PD35 TAC is probably one of the most sold tactical flashlights on the market. The PD25R blasts an amazing 800 lumens and a total distance of 250 meters.

Fenix Tactical - LED flashlights - Fenix HM65R-DT, Fenix PD35 V3.0, Fenix E35R, Fenix E18R V2.0, Fenix PD25R, Fenix CL26R, Fenix LR80R, Fenix TK20R UE DC, Fenix TK16 V2.0. The Fenix PD35 V3.0 continues to be the benchmark for a solid everyday light, offering plenty of performance and features for an inexpensive price point. The midsection also features a sleeker new knurling pattern for a secure grip, and includes a friction pocket clip to give you extra options for EDC. Like most tactical-designed flashlights, the PD35 uses 6061-T6 aluminum for its body which offers light weight and durability, with construction rated for IP68 water and impact resistance. As with previous models, the light is powered by a single included 2600mAh 18650 battery rechargeable via micro-USB, with compatibility for 2 x CR123A primaries. You also have access to four other regular modes, including a a 5-lumen Eco mode designed to maximize runtime for up to 230 hours. V3.0 of the PD35 improves on its previous generation by nearly doubling its max output thanks in part to a new Luminus SFT40 LED, sitting at 1,700 lumens for up to 357 meters on Turbo compared to its predecessor’s 1,000 lumens.

Long pressing the side button activates a strobe at max output for emergency situations, while also serving as a battery indicator. It uses a dual switch system, with the tail switch handling momentary and constant activation, and a side switch taking care of mode switching between its six modes for up to a new and improved 1,700 lumens along with mode memory. The PD35 has its roots in tactical use, which explains the need for simple and efficient activation. It set the standard for a useful everyday light, and now returns in its 3rd iteration, bringing everything that makes the light great and easy to use while making tweaks in the right places without reinventing the wheel.
