Fenix CL26R Pro Camping Lantern, Gray Camouflage
Introducing the multifunctional Fenix CL26R Pro camping lantern in gray camouflage from the Fenix brand. This model is ideal for outdoor activities, hiking, and home use: the lantern can function as a 360° light source, as well as a downward-directed beam, and the red light transforms it into a night light for comfortable rest before sleep. The device features one Redslight SC1818C white diode and seven sets of COB LEDs, with a color temperature range of 4000K-6800K, and an effective illumination radius of up to 15 meters.
Power and Brightness
The manufacturer's text states that the maximum brightness reaches 650 lumens. The list of characteristics also includes a maximum white light value of 500 lumens. The maximum brightness of the red light is 3 lumens.
Operating Modes
The model operates in 9 modes: 7 white light modes and 2 red light modes. The modes with their operating characteristics are presented below.
- High: 500 lumens – 10 hours;
- Medium: 200 lumens – 13 hours;
- Low: 50 lumens – 40 hours;
- Front: 25 lumens – 67 hours;
- Bottom 1: 5 lumens – 408 hours;
- Bottom 2: 50 lumens – 58 hours;
- Bottom 3: 150 lumens – 15 hours;
- Red Constant: 3 lumens – 125 hours;
- Red Flashing: 3 lumens – 240 hours;
High, Medium, Low, and Front modes belong to Group A, while Bottom 1, Bottom 2, and Bottom 3 belong to Group B. The flashing red mode is convenient for use as an emergency beacon to warn others of danger.
Control
Control is based on the interaction of an electronic button and a rotary switch located on the front of the housing. Powering on is done by pressing and holding the button. A short press when the device is on switches between the two red modes. Brightness adjustment in Group A modes is done by rotating the switch clockwise, and in Group B, counter-clockwise. Modes from Groups A and B can be combined: first rotate the switch, then press and hold the button – this simultaneously activates bottom lighting and 360° light. After this, the desired brightness for each light type is set by stepwise rotation of the switch and short presses of the button.
Power Source and Indication
The lantern is powered by one 21700 Li-ion battery (ARB-L21-5000 V2.0), which is included in the kit. The 5000 mAh battery capacity ensures the device operates for at least 17 days in typical use. A 18650 battery from the ARB-L18 series can also be used with a special holder. Battery access is achieved by unscrewing the top cover of the housing.
The charge level is indicated by LED indicators above the rotary switch: 4 indicators – 100%–80%, 3 indicators – 80%–60%, 2 indicators – 60%–40%, 1 indicator – 40%–20%, 1 indicator flashing – 20%–1%.
On the opposite side of the buttons is a cover that conceals two USB ports: an input Type-C for charging the battery (charging time approximately 3.5 hours) and an output USB-A, allowing the lantern to be used as a portable Power Bank for recharging smartphones and other small devices in the field.
Physical Characteristics and Protection
The CL26R Pro body is made of plastic to reduce weight – it weighs 199 g (without battery). The design allows for placement on a flat surface and hanging by a retractable hook-handle. A magnet is built into the top cover for securing the device to a metal surface. The housing withstands drops from a height of 1 m without cracking upon impact from any of the six sides; the water and dust protection class is IP66. The lantern's dimensions are: 66 x 59.5 x 114 mm. The lantern is supplied in branded packaging measuring 156.2 x 75 x 72 mm.
