Hey guys,

Just wanted to share some images of the latest zoomy, the Fenix FD 40. So far I’m liking it very much!
I took some pictures with it next to some popular models for reference. It seems the big names are finally answering the calls for zoomies.
I’m sure other more capable members will offer a more in depth review, I just wanted to share a few pics to wet your appetite.

i like the fenix beam :slight_smile:

but 1k lumen is a bit low for a MT-G2 :wink:

I like the flood on the Jax!

13

Pretty cool little light, i am very impressed by it. It is very floody but is deceivingly bright compared to the others, even though i didn’t feel that way when i was messing with it by itself.

The Price isn’t too bad either, i bought it straight from Fenix and they were running a special with 25% off with free shipping.

I have other Fenix lights and appreciate their quality. On their website, it didn’t clearly show that the zoom was progressive, i had the impression that it was only 2 settings, flood and narrow. It was

a pleasant surprise when i got the light and the zoom turned out to be progressive (variable).

It is my humble opinion that as a small package, it is the best zoomy in my collection. Highly recommended!

thanks

does it get hot quickly on high or do you think thereis room for “improvements“ ?

15

I just Did a quick test, it doesn’t get hot at all… the zeusray got very hot to the touch while the Fenix was much cooler after a 20 min run.

aff linking like a baws

18

Is that a Fresnel-like combination of total internal reflection and a converging lens, like an LED Lenser?

19

my eyes must be deceiving me. The fenix looks like it has the brightest spot!

20

It has the biggest spot and probably puts out the most light while focused. But it doesn’t mean it’s most intensive and more throwy.

I have a question to ontheR6 - how’s beam quality in medium focus?
