Fenix Flashlight E15 LED Flashlight (2016 Edition)

Description

Fenix updated their E15 LED Flashlight for 2016 with increased outputs over the previous version while maintaining the intuitive switching system and compact form factor. It has four outputs with a low of just 8 lumens for reading or performing tasks, and goes up to a blinding 450 lumens on one RCR123 rechargeable battery for searching or lighting large areas. If you use a disposable CR123 lithium battery, all outputs remain the same but with different runtimes, and a lower turbo output of 270 lumens. The light is activated and the outputs change with a simple one-handed turn of the head.

Complementing the powerful performance is a lightweight and durable aluminium housing that is finished with a scratch and corrosion-resistant anodised finish. The housing is O-ring sealed to an IPX8 rating making it waterproof and submersible to 2 m. Multiple safety circuits are in-place to protect the light from damage caused by incorrectly installed batteries or excessive heat. Additional circuitry detects the battery chemistry being used and adjusts the performance accordingly to maximise the battery life while digitally maintaining the output to provide consistent beam intensity throughout the life of the battery charge.
