The review includes video content as well as photo galleries and technical testing results.<br \/>\nJoin me in this look over the Fenix PD36 TAC Flashlight \/ Torch, a light built around the increasingly common larger 21700 cell (compared to the typical 18650 previously used). This has a specialised tail-cap with physical lockout, dedicated &#8216;Tactical&#8217; setting, and a normal &#8216;duty&#8217; multi-mode setting.<br \/>\nLet&#8217;s get to really know the Fenix

If you were completely unaware of the reason the battery tube was larger than previous generations that run on 18650, you would just be thinking the PD36 TAC is nice and comfortable to hold. The fact that it now houses a 21700 cell with that 5000mAh capacity is a further bonus to the comfort in the hand. Win win at this point.<\/p>\n<p>With that greater capacity of the 21700 cell, this compact tactical light can pump out a huge 3000lm. Go back and look at the runtime graphs to see how impressively the PD36 TAC keeps its output going. The output limitation is more down to thermal capacity for longer runs.<\/p>\n<p>This is the first of this style of Fenix tactical tail-cap I have been able to try. It has three functional modes. One is a simple and solid physical lockout. Line the selector ring up with the padlock, and the button does not move.<\/p>\n<p>The selector ring certainly feels secure enough in its positioning that you won&#8217;t be accidentally going between locked and unlocked by accident. You pre-select the type of use you want and leave it there. Bear in mind, you can also use this to lock the PD36 TAC on. If you first turn it on to a mode you want and then rotate the selector ring to the padlock, you can&#8217;t turn it off again.<\/p>\n<p>Being designed as a &#8216;Tactical&#8217; light, most users will likely keep it in &#8216;Tactical&#8217; mode &#8211; instant 2000lm output with momentary or latched action. Half press the tail-switch for momentary output, complete the press to latch it on (or just go for the full press to start with). Holding the switch fully in for about 1s and you enter strobe mode.<\/p>\n<p>Move the selector round to the &#8216;Duty&#8217; mode and you have access to five different output levels. Starting on &#8216;eco&#8217; the first time you use it, but after that the last used level is remembered. Changing modes requires a half press &#8211; this can either be a half press from off and then cycle through modes before latching on, or a half press after turning the PD36 TAC on with a full press, the half presses then cycling through modes. Personally I would have preferred an automatic reset to eco after a few seconds being off as after not using it for a period of time, you won&#8217;t know if you had eco or turbo set, and this could be quite a shock.<\/p>\n<p>The Fenix PD36 TAC is a purposeful lighting tool, and can instantly be reconfigured as either a dedicated &#8216;Tactical&#8217; light or into a multi-mode &#8216;Duty&#8217; light to fit with your needs.<\/p>\n<hr color=\"#333333\"><\/hr>\n<p><b><b>Review Summary<\/b><\/b><br \/>\n<i>The views expressed in this summary table are from the point of view of the reviewer\u2019s personal use.
