Gone are the days of carrying a large, heavy flashlight when you are camping. The Fenix PD36 TAC Tactical Flashlight is pocket sized but emits up to 3,000 lumen with a beam distance of 274 meters (899 feet).
The Fenix PD36 TAC is a tactical flashlight which means that it is built from durable materials, has a super bright light, has no slip grips, and has multiple light modes. The light weighs just over 3 oz (excluding the battery) and feels incredibly solid with its heavy-duty design. It is made for professional use by security and law enforcement, but it would also be a great item to bring along on your next outdoor adventure.
There is a rotary toggle switch on the tail of the PD36TAC which allows you to quickly switch between two modes. Tactical Mode limits the light to only the highest tactical brightness level and strobe. The Duty Mode accesses all lighting modes (adjustable brightness plus the strobe). Over the last month I took the light with me on our nightly walks. It was more than enough to light the path and everything around me. When using the highest brightness setting it really felt like daylight along the path.
One night I was using the light on its highest setting. A rabbit came running down the trail and crashed into our legs. It was obviously blinded by the light and was very startled when it crashed into us. I’ve never had anything like that happen when I used a regular power flashlight.
The flashlight comes with a 21700 rechargeable Li-ion battery, which I was very impressed with. You simply plug a charging cable (included with the flashlight) into the top of the battery. There is an LED light on the tip of the battery that lets you know when it is fully charged. Its a very smart design.
The PD36 TAC is impact resistant and has an IP68 rating making it dustproof and waterproof—ready to react to any situation. It has a strong, metal clip, but also comes with a belt holder. Fenix provides a five-year warranty, which makes this an excellent gift that you know will be used for many years to come.
The Fenix PD36 TAC Tactical Flashlight is currently being offered at $99.95 for the holidays. If you are looking for something that dad will love, the PD36 TAC is the gift to buy.
