Fenix is one of the top-three premium flashlight manufacturers worldwide. Founded in 2001 in Shenzhen, FenixLight Limited today builds LED lighting for over 100 countries – from compact EDC keychain lights to 18'000-lumen searchlights. The brand’s core values : aircraft-grade aluminium, ANSI-certified lumen ratings, IP68 waterproofing and a clear letter-coded model-family logic that lets you instantly identify the right light for the task. Our range, stocked in Menzingen ZG, covers the full current line-up : PD, TK, E, HM, HT, BC, CL, LR, LD and C series plus matching accessories.
Type III hard-anodised T6 aluminium, IP68 dust- and waterproof, 1–2 m drop-tested
10+ series with distinct application profiles – you choose by letter, not by datasheet
Brightness and beam distance verified to ANSI/PLATO FL1 – no marketing numbers
Dispatch within 1–2 business days, no customs, advice by phone or in our showroom
If you ask in any outdoor forum or specialist publication for a high-end LED flashlight, Fenix sits in the top three alongside Olight and Nitecore. The reason is simple : Fenix was among the first manufacturers worldwide to commit fully to the ANSI/PLATO FL1 standard. What that means for you : the lumen ratings, beam distances and runtimes you see are independently verified – not marketing numbers. A Fenix PD36R Pro rated at 2'800 ANSI lumens delivers exactly that, even after 30 seconds of continuous operation. Many no-name lights collapse to half their peak output within 10 seconds.
The second reason : Fenix has the tool image. Bodies are CNC-machined from aircraft-grade T6 aluminium, hard-anodised (Type III) and IP68 certified. That means : 30 minutes at 2 m water depth doesn’t harm a Fenix, a 1–2 m drop doesn’t harm it, and dust stays out. This robustness is a specification, not a promise – and it’s why police, military, mountain rescue and fire services in over 100 countries rely on Fenix.
The third reason : the model-family logic. Fenix is one of the few manufacturers with a consistent letter-coding system that tells you instantly which application a model is built for. A Fenix PD is always a tactical all-rounder, a Fenix HM is always a headlamp, a Fenix HT is always built for hunting. You don’t need to wade through 200 models – you pick the series, then the model.
The letters at the start of each model designation tell you the intended application. Here are the ten key series :
Compact lights for keychain, pocket or hand luggage. Example models : E01 V2.0 (keychain, 100 lumens), E18R V2.0 (mini EDC, 1'200 lumens, 16340 battery), E35R V3.0 (pocket powerhouse, 3'100 lumens). Profile : small, light, simple to operate, long battery life.
The bestselling Fenix series. Tactical all-rounders with high output and medium size. Example models : PD25R, PD32R, PD36R Pro (2'800 lumens), PD35 V3.0. Profile : hand- and belt-pouch sized, all PDs are tactically operable (tail switch + side switch), most are USB-C rechargeable. If you buy a single Fenix, it’s typically a PD.
Bigger, stronger sister of the PD. For police, security forces, professional outdoor work. Example models : TK16 V2.0, TK20R V2.0, TK21R, TK22 TAC, TK75. Profile : up to 6'000 lumens, beam distances over 1'000 m, crenellated bezel, often with strobe mode. If you need distance and defensive capability, choose TK over PD.
Headlamps with standard front-mounted LED module. Example models : HM65R-T (1'500 lumens, magnesium body), HM71R (2'700 lumens, the highest headlamp output in our range). Profile : USB-C, detachable lamp module (usable as a handheld light), red-light mode to preserve night vision. Dual-beam versions (spot + flood) for trail running, mountain rescue and bushcraft.
Hunting flashlights with extra-long beam distance and green or red filter accessories. Example models : HT18R V2.0, HT30R, HT32, HT72R. Profile : beam distances up to 1'500 m, narrow beam for wildlife observation, side switch for quiet operation. Mountable on the rifle with the AER-03 remote switch.
Searchlight class. Example models : LR35R (10'000 lumens, 700 m beam), LR80R (18'000 lumens, 1'130 m). Profile : large, heavy, but daylight-bright. For mountain rescue, search operations, marine equipment.
Outdoor all-rounders running on AA or 14500 batteries. Example models : LD12R, LD30R, LD45R. Profile : lighter, also runnable on standard AA batteries – important if you’re in remote areas without USB charging.
Bike lights for front and rear. Example models : BC26R (1'800-lumen front light), BC05R V2.0 (rear light with brake-detection sensor). Profile : handlebar mounts, IPX6 waterproofing, optional bar-mounted remote.
Camping lanterns with 360-degree light dispersion. Example models : CL26R (in olive and red). Profile : magnetic base for hanging, USB-C charging, can serve as a smartphone power bank.
Compact lights, slightly larger than the E series. Example model : C7 (3'000 lumens). Profile : pocket-sized but with EDC-untypical high output.

From experience, four models stand out as the bestselling Fenix lights in Switzerland :
You’ll find the full flashlight range under LED flashlights, all headlamps under headlamps.
A Fenix rated at "2'800 lumens" delivers 2'800 ANSI lumens – measured 30 seconds after switch-on, in stable thermal state, with the supplied battery. With Aliexpress lights, the "5'000 lumens" claim is often the peak value, sustained for only 1–2 seconds. After 10 seconds the output drops by 50–70 %.
Fenix bodies are CNC-turned from solid T6 aluminium. Type III hard-anodised – that means the surface is scratch-resistant, salt-water tolerant and heat-resistant. Die-cast bodies (used by many cheap lights) are brittle and crack on impact.
IP68 means : 30 minutes at 2 m water depth without water ingress. Fenix tests every model in a pressure chamber before launch. Many "waterproof" no-name lights survive 30 seconds of rain, no more.
Fenix ARB batteries (e.g. ARB-L21-5000, ARB-L18-3500) are 18650 or 21700 lithium-ion cells with integrated protection against deep discharge, overcharge and short circuit. That extends battery life and protects against thermal runaway. Cheap batteries often skip this protection.
FenixLight provides 5 years of warranty against material and manufacturing defects on most models. We handle warranty cases directly through our Swiss warehouse – you don’t need to ship anything to China.

Fenix runs its own battery ecosystem with integrated protection circuits. Key components :
Each light typically ships with a matching ARB battery in the box. If you want a second backup cell for multi-day trips, stick with the original ARB – third-party batteries often don’t fit mechanically (Fenix runs tight tolerances).
We are an authorised Swiss dealer for Fenix and stock the current range from our warehouse in Menzingen ZG. Concretely :
Fenix models appear in our main categories flashlights and headlamps, with all current filter options (lumens, battery, application).
The Fenix PD36R Pro is the Swiss bestseller pick if you want a single all-round light. 2'800 ANSI lumens, 21700 battery for long runtime, USB-C direct-charge, tactically operable (tail switch + side switch), IP68 waterproof. It fits in your hand and your belt pouch, works as EDC and outdoor light, and typically lasts 5–10 years. If you want something smaller, the E35R V3.0 is the EDC top pick. If you need bigger and tactical, go for the TK20R V2.0.
The letters at the start of each model name tell you the application. E = Everyday Carry (compact), PD = Professional / Daily (tactical all-rounder), TK = Tactical Pro (police / professional), HM = Headlamp, HT = Hunting, LR = Long Range (searchlight), LD = Light Duty (outdoor with AA backup), BC = Bicycle, CL = Camping Lantern, C = Compact. The numbers after often indicate LED generation or lumen tier. Example : PD36R means PD series, 36th model generation, R = Rechargeable.
Yes. Practically all Fenix lights are IP68 certified. That translates to : 30 minutes at 2 m water depth without water ingress. Bike lights in the BC series are often "only" IPX6 (jet-water resistant, not for diving) – but equally weather-tolerant. For longer dives or professional diving you need the SD series (Submersible Diving), which isn’t in the Swiss range yet.
Mechanically often not. Fenix lights have tight tolerances in the battery compartment. Third-party cells are often slightly longer or wider and don’t fit or jam. Functionally : yes, any 18650/21700/16340 cell with protection circuit will work in principle. We strongly recommend original ARB batteries though – that’s the only path where you have no warranty discussions later. Original ARBs are stocked in Menzingen.
Both are tactical lights, but the TK is bigger, heavier and stronger. A PD36R Pro has 2'800 lumens and fits in your trouser pocket. A TK22R has 3'200 lumens and a noticeably larger reflector for more reach. The TK series often features a crenellated bezel (toothed front ring for glass-breaking / defence), the PD series usually doesn’t. Rule of thumb : for EDC and all-round use → PD; for professional use with reach beyond 300 m → TK.
The HM65R-T. It’s one of the few headlamps on the market made of magnesium alloy instead of aluminium – making it about 30 % lighter. On trail runs and longer tours, every gram on your head counts. 1'500 ANSI lumens, USB-C, detachable lamp module (usable as a handheld), dual beam (spot far + flood near). For maximum brightness the HM71R is the choice, but it’s a little heavier.
Fenix specifies runtimes per ANSI/PLATO FL1 – measured with a fully charged battery, until output drops to 10 % of the initial value. Example PD36R Pro in eco mode (30 lumens) : 138 hours. In maximum mode (2'800 lumens) : 4 minutes turbo, then step-down to 1'500 lumens for around 2 hours. These figures are realistic and reproducible – not marketing numbers.
In Switzerland legality depends on cantonal hunting law and the species. White flashlights for wildlife observation are generally permitted; for actual hunting, restrictions apply per canton (e.g. on illuminating the shot). The Fenix HT series (HT18R V2.0, HT30R) is purpose-built for this case – with a side switch for quiet operation, long beam reach, and optional green or red filters that startle wildlife less. Always check the cantonal regulations before use.
FenixLight provides a 5-year manufacturer warranty against material and manufacturing defects on most flashlight models. Batteries (ARB series) and chargers (ARE series) carry shorter warranties (typically 12 months for batteries). For warranty claims we handle repair or replacement through our Swiss warehouse – you don’t need to send anything back to China. Plus a 30-day voluntary return policy without reason if the light doesn’t suit you.
ANSI/PLATO FL1 is the industry standard that prescribes how lumen values must be measured. Specifically : brightness is measured 30 seconds after switch-on, in stable thermal state, with the included battery, in an integrating sphere. This prevents the typical marketing tricks of no-name lights that claim "5'000 lumens" but only reach that for 1–2 seconds. A Fenix PD36R Pro at "2'800 lumens" delivers 2'800 ANSI lumens – verified. With a Fenix you can rely on the rating.
If the recipient is technically inclined and hasn’t named a specific application : Fenix PD36R Pro (all-rounder) or E35R V3.0 (compact EDC). Both come in solid gift boxes with battery, USB cable, holster and lanyard included. For outdoor enthusiasts, the HM65R-T headlamp is a winner. For hunters, the HT18R V2.0. For cyclists, the BC26R set with BC05R V2.0 rear light. If you’re unsure, reach us by phone at +41 41 755 34 33 or via info@swiss-sale.ch – we’re happy to help with the choice.
