Greentips and I were given a tour of the new Fenix Flashlights for 2015

Some of them I am light on details as they aren't even in their 2015 product catalogue


LD52R

The first one is a variation of the new LD50. Rather than inserted batteries it has two internal 18650 rechargeable batteries that is charged via a micro usb port.

It is a smaller flashlight (5.43" OAL) with two LEDs and two reflectors. The button is on the side. It has 5 brightness settings plus a strobe feature.

  • *For my battery life times I am going off of the LD50 which is using 2 18650 Batteries and not the internal battery. I am making the assumption that they are similar enough


  • Max output 1800 lumens
  • High = 750 Lumens
  • Mid = 350 Lumens
  • Low = 140 Lumens
  • Eco = 25 Lumens
  • Strobe at 1800 Lumens

MSRP around $125 CAD










LD75

The LD75 is a monster light. It uses 4x18760 or 8xCR123s to throw a super bright 4200 Lumen Beam with a 490m throw

It also has several multi-coloured LEDs to shine Blue, Red, or Green beams (varying Lumens)

Turbo Mode: 4200 Lumens for 90 Mins
High: 1800 Lumens for 3hrs
Mid: 600 Lumens for 11h
Low: 200 Lumens for 35h
Strobe: 20 Lumens for 220h
SOS: 2000 Lumens

Multi Colors:
Red: 140 Lumens
Green: 190 Lumens
Blue: 45 Lumens

Overall it is 6.22" Long and the head diameter is 2.91"
It weighs about 1 Lb empty so add the weight of the 4 batteries and it is a pretty hefty light.

Price isn't released yet but I would expect it to be in the high 200$s or low-mid 300$s


CL25R and CL20



These two were GT and I's favourites. They are both small packable camp lanterns.

The CL25R is a nice cylinder shaped lantern that can work up to 350 Lumens. It works on either 1 x 18650 or two CR123a Batteries. It has a micro USB port to recharge the 18650 Battery

The light also features a Red LED light

I really like how versatile it is to mount or hang. On top it has a wire based hanging loop. On the bottom it has a screw hole to fit a camera tripod or any other camera mounting accessory. It also has a magnet at the base to attach to a metallic surface

  • Turbo: 350Lumens for 3h10min (18650) or 2h15min (CR123)
  • High: 200Lumens for 5h45min (18650) or 3h30min (CR123)
  • Mid: 50Lumens for 25h50min (18650) or 15h10min (CR123)
  • Low: 1 Lumen for 1000h (18650) or 600h (CR123)
  • Red LED - Solid light or flashing: 3 Lumens for a long time (sorry not sure)

It is 2" Diameter / 3.93" Long









The CL20 is smaller than the CL25R and is designed as a smaller and more versatile light for camping. It is a dome shape but on the bottom has a hanging loop and magnet. It is not as bright as the CL25R with a max output of 165 Lumens. I would say this one is best suited for use in a tent or other small space. It isn't really bright enough to light up a campsite (hard for me to say though as I haven't used it in a dark location)

It runs off of the choice of either 2xAAs (Alkaline or Ni-MH) or 1xCR123.

This one also has an additional Red LED

Turbo: 165Lumens for 2h23min (Ni-MH AAs) / 3h10min (Alkaline AAs) / 2h (1xCR123)
High: 100Lumens for 5h15min (Ni-MH AAs) / 4h9min (Alkaline AAs) / 3h30min (1xCR123)
Mid: 50Lumens for 11h28min (Ni-MH AAs) / 9h4min (Alkaline AAs) / 7h32min (1xCR123)
Low: 8Lumens for 71h40min (Ni-MH AAs) / 56h40min (Alkaline AAs) / 46h50min (1xCR123)
Red Light: 1.5 Lumens for 27h10min (Ni-MH AAs) / 24h15min (Alkaline AAs) / 20h (1xCR123)

It is 3.1" Long, 1.8" Wide, and 2.3" Tall
Weighs 3.6Oz empty
