the Fenix CL28R lantern

Finding a reliable one capable of delivering a maximum output of 2000 lumens and charging other electrical devices at the same time is exciting. So, meet the Fenix CL28R outdoor lantern. The Fenix CL28R is one of the newest additions to Fenix's broad list of high-quality lighting products and flashlights. It has a maximum beam throw of 58 meters, making it suitable for a variety of functions and uses.

Define Your Lighting Mode

The CL28R allows you to choose your preferred lighting mode and favorite color. Rotate the switch to select the desired mode based on the occasion and or your preference. Furthermore, you can use just one hand to switch to your desired color temperature, ranging from 2700k to 6500k.

Built-in Magnetic Handle

The lantern includes a built-in magnetic handle which allows for hands-free mounting. The handle can be fixed on most metal surfaces, leaving both hands free for other tasks to be attended to.

Bright and Reliable Light

The lantern delivers an incredible output of 2000 lumens and a maximum beam throw of 58 meters, making it suitable for a variety of functions like vehicle maintenance, late outdoor meetings or even emergencies. And if you like, you can choose the cool white light, which helps in proper illumination and vision or the neutral white light, which mimics natural daylight. The power is simply at your fingertips.

Ultra-long Run Time

First, the CL28R operates on a 10000 mAh built-in battery. The battery is charged through a built-in port, and it needs at least 4 hours to charge fully. The charging port is compatible with PD 5V/2.5A, 9V/2A, 12V/1.5A and other adaptors that meet fast charging protocols. In full charge, the battery can power the lantern for over 360 hours. And as said earlier, the CL28R also includes a power bank function. So apart from the USB-C charging port, there's also a USB-A discharging port which is used in charging various digital electrical devices, making sure that you're never worried even if your phone is running out of power.

Maximum Flexibility

The built-in magnetic handle of the lantern is also 360° adjustable, which helps in expanding the illumination area. You can therefore see everywhere around you as you so desire. In addition, there's a tripod socket that allows the user to attach the lantern to various tripods. This helps in steadily directing the light whenever you need it.

Waterproof and Impact Resistant

The lantern, because it's primarily meant for outdoor use, is IP66 Rated. It's not only protected against dust and other foreign intrusions but is also waterproof. Splashing water or heavy rain won't have any effect on the flashlight. It's reliable even when exposed to extreme conditions. The lantern can withstand a drop test of 1.5 meters from all sides, including the handle.

If I’m reading the small print correctly, the 45 days assumes 8/hr day. I understand that is a reasonable prediction, but I find it annoying Fenix tries to be deceiving when runtime is typically reported as “non-stop”, so it’s actually a 15 day runtime…

Is the battery replaceable? The tech spec box says runtime is based on 2x5000mah cells. Would be good if these are 21700 cells which are replaceable. I don’t expect them to be field replaceable, but undoing some screws and changing the battery when it wears out is a really good option.

Fenix is usually well known for the correct - correct enough with their numbers on output and run times… especially compared with some other brands… !
So i don’t think that they would make such a mistake this time… !?

Correct runtime is indeed the tech spec box of 360hr, but that’s not the big, attention grabbing 45days claim.
