The light source is a new generation LUMINUS SST20 LED, emitting a maximum light output of 800 lumens (in turbo mode) at a distance of up to 250 m.

The flashlight uses anti-reflective glass with high light transmission and SMO smooth reflector, allowing the flashlight to illuminate objects up to more than 200 m away. Fenix PD25R has a relatively evenly divided light beam i.e. a narrow spill and a fairly wide beam, making the flashlight great for various outdoor activities including hiking, camping, edc, etc.

The flashlight offers 5 continuous light modes: turbo, high, medium, low, eco and 1 flash mode: strobe. This allows you to precisely adjust the light parameters to the situation and your own needs. To operate the flashlight, there are two buttons located on the side and back. The metal side switch is used to change the brightness and activate the strobe flash mode. The rubber tactical switch on the back of the body is responsible for activating the momentary light, as well as turning the flashlight on and off. It only takes a few minutes to learn this interface, making the PD25R flashlight extremely user-friendly and easy to use.
The PD25R0 flashlight uses an LED indicator in the side button to inform the user of the battery discharge level. The built-in LED indicates the current battery level every time the flashlight is turned on. The battery level indicator flashes red to remind you to charge or replace the battery.
