Fenix CL26R PRO is a practical portable rechargeable lantern that you can use to light a room, tent, campsite, caravan, cabin, boat or work table. In addition, it also has a powerbank function, so it can be used to charge other USB devices. The lantern offers the function of circular lighting and bottom lighting, individual light modes are switched with a rotary control. In addition, both methods of lighting can be combined and thus achieve a total output of up to 650 lumens.

CL26R PRO is powered by a Li-ion battery type 21700 with a capacity of 5000 mAh (included in the package), which is charged directly in the lantern using a USB-C connector and it will supply energy for up to 408 hours of operation in the lowest mode. There is also red light, which does not disturb the adaptation of the eyes to the dark.

Front one-way lighting and bottom lighting are very practical significantly energy-saving functions. It is particularly useful in situations where circular omnidirectional lighting is not needed.

Thanks to the durable and impact-resistant construction with IP66 coverage, the flashlight can be safely used even in adverse weather (heavy rain). The upper side of the lantern is equipped with a hanging eye with the possibility of opening it like a carabiner and a strong neodymium magnet, so it can be easily hung or fixed to anything iron. Thanks to its compact dimensions, the lantern is especially suitable for camping and hiking, you can also use it in a caravan, boat or cottage.

All parameters of the flashlight (luminous flux, battery operation time, waterproofing, afterglow and impact resistance) are measured in compliance with the ANSI/ NEMA FL 1-2009.

Using the Fenix CL26R PRO

There may be an insulating cap on the battery inside the lantern from the factory. Remove it from the battery before first use.

Turning the switch clockwise will turn on the main circular light. Turning the switch counterclockwise turns on the bottom light. By turning the switch in the selected direction, the lighting modes of the switched-on light are switched. By turning the switch to the middle “off“ turn off the lantern again.

Combination of main and lower light: main and lower light can be combined. Turn one of them on with the rotary switch to the desired performance mode. The second light is then switched on by holding the electronic switch for 0.5 s, its modes can be switched further by pressing the button.

When the lantern is off, the red light is turned on and off by holding the electronic switch for 0.5s. When it is on, the red light modes are switched by pressing the button.

Bat charge status indicationerie - after a short press of the button (the lantern must be switched off), the LED indicator of the charge status above the switch is activated. Four lit LEDs mean the battery is 80-100% charged, three lit 60-80%, two lit 40-60%, one 20-40% and one blinking means the battery is less than 20% charged.

Powerbank function

Open the dust cover and insert the USB cable into the USB Type A discharge port on the flashlight, then connect the other end of the cable to the USB device being charged. If the lantern is on, the power bank function is activated automatically after connecting the USB cable. If it is off, press the electronic switch, the indicators will move from right to left to show the status. During discharge, you cannot use the highest power or combine main and lower light modes. Be sure to seal the dust cap after charging is complete. If the battery voltage is too low, the power bank function will turn off.

Charging the Fenix CL26R PRO lantern

To charge the lantern, unfold the anti-dust rubber cover. Connect the lantern using the included USB-C cable to a computer, USB network adapter or USB car adapter. A standard mobile phone charger or power bank can also be used for charging. During charging, the indicator LEDs above the switch flash to show the charging progress. They will remain lit after charging.
