Fenix PD35 2014 edition VS original PD35

Published: 9 years ago

A short comparison between the pd35 2014 edition and the original one for those who are wondering what the difference is.

The limited edition of the ‘souped up’ PD32 Ultimate Edition has been a tremendous success. That’s why we now have the Fenix PD35. Fenix has actually managed to squeeze in yet a few more improvements. The beam has a sharp edge and is very smooth, no signs of a doughnut anywhere! The max. light output of 850 lumens is extreme, especially when considering the compact format of the torch.

This torch can be powered with CR123a batteries, as well as with 18650 rechargeable batteries.

If there is a torch which is worth being called versatile, it must be the Fenix PD35. It’s small enough to easily carry with you wherever you go, but has plenty of light and brightness levels to help you out in most circumstances.

*The specification of the light intensity is carried out in accordance with the NEMA FL 1-2009 standard. This means that the values can be lower than indicated in previous specifications. This lower value obviously does not affect the light intensity of the torch. The advantage of having the ANSI / NEMA FL 1-2009 standard is that the values can easily be compared with one another and give a true reflection of daily practice.
