Fenix is now taking pre orders for their new PD36R with max output at 1600 lumens for 2.9 hours. It's 5.3 inches long and priced at just under $100. The expected release date is July 5th.

The light is USB rechargeable, with 5 settings including a strobe. It runs off a 21700 battery but it doesn't appear as if the battery is available yet as I couldn't find it on their site. I'm sure it will be along shortly. I also have the Fenix UC35 v2.0 which is basically a 1000 lumen version of this light with a couple differences. But the USB functionality is wonderfully convenient. It's nice to be able to charge it in your vehicle with just a USB cable and small car charger.

Two possible downsides to this light are that a) it doesn't run off of primary cells too...which is a bummer, and b) there is no "moonlight" setting. The lowest output is 30 lumens for 115 hours.

USB hookup is a deal killer for me.

One more thing to potentially malfunction. I do like there earlier models and own 3 currently.

What happens if the charging port stops working? Does the entire light go dead? Because the batteries can still be pulled and put on a charger like normal.
