The powerful compact flashlight Fenix PD26R ACE will impress you with a light output of up to 1300 lumens (ANSI) and a beam distance of up to 354 meters. This excellent light performance is provided by a premium white Luminus SFT-25R LED. It is powered by a 18350 Li-ion battery with a capacity of 1600 mAh (included in the package), which is conveniently recharged directly in the flashlight via a modern USB-C connector. The flashlight is programmable, so you can easily preset the number of modes you want to use. The Fenix PD26R ACE offers up to seven different lighting modes, so you can always choose the optimal combination of performance and runtime. In the lowest mode, it can achieve an incredible 556 hours of continuous light on a single charge! For emergency situations, the flashing modes SOS and strobe are invaluable. Thanks to digital regulation, the flashlight provides a constant light output even as the battery gradually discharges. The PD26R ACE impresses not only with its compact dimensions and great performance but also with its body design, which prevents it from rolling and slipping in the hand. It is therefore an ideal choice for duty use, for all outdoor enthusiasts, and is also great for everyday use.

All flashlight parameters (luminous flux, battery life, waterproofness, beam distance, and impact resistance) are measured in accordance with the ANSI/NEMA FL 1-2009 standard.

Usage

From the factory, there may be an insulating cap on the battery inside the flashlight. Remove it from the battery before first use.

To turn on, press the tactical switch on the tail of the flashlight; for momentary activation, just half-press it. You can cycle through the constant light modes at any time during operation by pressing the side button near the head of the flashlight. To switch to strobe mode, press and hold the side button for about 0.5 seconds. If you have selected Setting 3 (outdoor activities), another press will activate SOS. Pressing and holding the side button again will return you to the constant light modes. The number of modes you can switch between depends on your selected mode preset; for example, the strobe can be completely deactivated (see below).

Setting the Mode Presets - The SET function offers a choice of three lighting mode presets, which are listed in the following table.

1. Loosen the nut under the head of the flashlight to reveal the hidden SET switch.

2. With the light on, press the SET switch to cycle between: Setting 1 - tactical mode (Turbo mode only) → Setting 2 - duty mode (3 modes) → Setting 3 - outdoor activities (5 modes). The flashlight is set to Setting 3 from the factory.

3. After selecting the desired preset, the corresponding indicator next to the SET button will light up green for 3 seconds to confirm the selection. This indication also shows the current number of available modes for that setting.

Note:

1. Users can independently activate or deactivate the strobe function. By default, it is activated in all presets.

2. The number of modes for each lighting preset is listed without Strobe and SOS.

Activating and Deactivating Strobe Mode - With the light on, press and hold the hidden SET switch for 1.2 seconds to activate/deactivate the Strobe mode in all mode presets. The flashlight will blink twice to confirm the selection.

Memory for the last used output mode - The flashlight remembers the last used output mode within the active preset. It will activate in this mode the next time it is turned on (does not apply to Strobe and SOS).

Battery Replacement - Unscrew the tail cap of the flashlight and insert the battery with the positive pole facing the reflector. Then tighten the tail cap completely.

Charging

1. Unscrew the protective nut under the head of the flashlight to reveal the charging port and plug the USB-C charging cable into the port. After charging is complete, tighten the nut again.

2. During charging, the indicator in the side button glows red; when fully charged, it turns green. The flashlight can be turned on and off by holding the side switch during charging. The tail switch is not functional during charging.

3. The normal charging time for a fully depleted ARB-L18-1600 battery is approximately 2 hours.

Battery Charge Level Indication - Each time the flashlight is turned on, the indicator LED in the side button activates for three seconds. If the indicator diode is green, the battery is more than 85% charged. A flashing green light means 50-85% capacity. If it glows red, it is 25-50% charged. A flashing red light indicates that less than 25% of the battery capacity remains. Note: This function only works with Fenix 18350 type batteries.

Intelligent Overheat Protection - If the temperature of the flashlight exceeds 60 °C, the output will automatically be reduced. Once the temperature drops below 60 °C, the output will gradually increase again.

Low Battery Warning - If the voltage drops below a set level, the flashlight will reduce the brightness to a lower level. After reaching the lowest output, the battery status indicator will start flashing red to remind you to recharge or replace the battery.

Warning

• Do not disassemble the sealed parts in the head of the flashlight yourself, as this will void the warranty.
• Keep the flashlight out of the reach of children!
• Do not shine the flashlight directly into your own or anyone else's eyes!
• Loosen the tail cap by half a turn or remove the batteries to prevent accidental activation during storage or transport.
• Use only original protected 18350 Li-ion batteries.
• If the protective rubber rings appear damaged after a long period of use, replace them. The rings should also be lubricated to prevent rubber erosion. By following these rules, the flashlight will be properly protected against water.
• If the flashlight flickers, does not switch to higher modes, or does not turn on, it may be for one of the following reasons:
  • The batteries are nearly depleted – charge the battery or replace it.
  • The contacts inside the flashlight are dirty – clean them with a cotton swab dipped in alcohol.
  • The head, body, or tail cap of the flashlight is loose – add lubricant to the sealing rings and firmly tighten both the head and the tail of the flashlight.

Warranty

Five-year warranty on the flashlight, two-year warranty on the battery.
