Fenix PD36R ACE Rechargeable Flashlight

The Fenix PD36R ACE is a high-output rechargeable flashlight designed for users who want both long-range illumination and control over how the light operates. Its Luminus SFT70 Gen2 LED produces up to 3,000 lumens and a maximum beam distance of 415 meters, making it suitable for outdoor activities, professional use, emergency preparedness, and everyday carry.

The defining feature is Fenix's SET system, which provides three preset configurations for different operating preferences. A tactical tail switch handles momentary and constant-on activation, a side switch selects brightness, and a separate SET switch changes the operating configuration. The included 5,000mAh rechargeable 21700 battery, hidden USB Type-C charging port, and IP68-rated construction round out this versatile flashlight.

Customizable SET Modes

The PD36R ACE is designed for users who want more control over the flashlight's available output levels. Its SET switch selects among three preset configurations, allowing you to choose an operating arrangement that suits your intended use.

The SET system changes which functions are available; it does not increase the flashlight's rated maximum output. Review the manufacturer's instructions for selecting configurations and operating each mode.

Brightness, Beam Distance, and Runtime

The PD36R ACE combines high output with lower brightness settings for close-range tasks and longer operating periods. Turbo delivers the maximum 3,000 lumens, while Eco mode reduces output to 30 lumens for extended runtime.

*Turbo runtime includes periods when output is reduced by the flashlight's thermal protection. Actual performance varies with temperature, battery condition, and operating conditions.

Rechargeable Battery and USB-C Charging

The Fenix PD36R ACE includes an ARB-L21-5000 V2.0 rechargeable 21700 lithium-ion battery with a capacity of 5,000mAh. The flashlight's hidden USB Type-C charging port lets you recharge the installed battery without removing it from the body. A battery-level indicator provides a quick indication of remaining charge when the light is switched on.

The PD36R ACE can also use compatible Fenix 21700 batteries. An 18650 battery may be used with the appropriate Fenix ALF-18 battery adapter, but the included 21700 battery is the standard power source. Follow Fenix's instructions for battery compatibility, charging, and safe handling.
