Warning: *16340 Li-ion batteries are powerful cells designed for commercial applications and must be treated with caution and handled with care. Only use quality batteries with circuit protection will reduce the potential for combustion or explosion; but cell damage or short circuiting are potential risks the user assumes.

 

Battery Replacement

Unscrew the light head to insert the battery with the anode side (+) towards the light head, then screw the light head back on.

 

Intelligent Overheat Protection 

The light will accumulate a lot of heat when used on white light mode for extended periods. When the light reaches a temperature of 55°C or above, the light will automatically step down a few lumens to reduce the temperature. When the temperature drops below 55°C, it will then return to the standard output of white light mode. 

 

Low-voltage Warning

When the voltage level drops below the preset level, the flashlight is programmed to downshift to a lower output. If the voltage is lower than 3.2V, the battery level indicator blinks to remind you to recharge or replace the battery. 

Note: This only works with Fenix ARB-L16-700UP rechargeable 16340 Li-ion battery.

 

Usage and Maintenance 

  • Disassembling the sealed part can cause damage to the light and will void the warranty.
  • Fenix recommends using only a high-quality battery.
  • If the light will not be used for an extended period, lock the light or remove the battery for proper storage.
  • If you shoot ammunition get the lens coated, try rubbing the lens with fine steel wool or Froglube clp.
  • Long-term use can result in O-ring wear. To maintain a proper water seal, replace the ring with an approved spare. 
  • Since gun maintenance requires the use of organic solvents, organic solvents contaminating key components of the light may cause malfunctions, and the light will not receive normal warranty service.
  • Periodic cleaning of the battery contacts improves the light's performance as dirty contacts may cause the light to flicker, shine intermittently or even fail to illuminate for the following reasons:
    A: Poor battery level.
    Solution: Recharge or replace the battery.
    B: The contact or contact point of the battery or flashlight is dirty.
    Solution: Clean the contact points with a cotton swab soaked in rubbing alcohol.

If the above methods don't work, please contact your authorized distributor.

  2. Please open the quick release wrench, align the convex groove of the rail piece with the groove of the gun rail, make sure the position is correct and close the locking plate.
  3. If it appears too tight or too loose, you can use the tool to adjust the slider on the other side of the tactical light.

 

Q6. My GL06/GL06-365 will automatically reduce the brightness after using for a while, why is that?

A: There are two possible cases of automatic downshifting of GL06/GL06-365:

  1. temperature control downshift: tactical lights for a long time to work in high brightness will accumulate a lot of heat, in order to avoid the shell temperature is too high to affect the use of comfort, when the circuit detects that the temperature exceeds 55 ℃, the flashlight will automatically and gradually reduce the brightness.
  2. When the lamp detects that the battery voltage is too low, it will gradually and automatically reduce the current working gear; if the lamp detects that the battery voltage is lower than 3.2V, the main lamp will flash 3 times at a frequency of 3 Hz every 2 minutes to remind the user to charge the battery or replace it in time.

Reason 2: The conductive contact surface/contact point of the luminaire or battery is dirty

Solution: Clean the conductive contact surface or contact point with alcohol swab.

 

If the above methods are not effective, please contact your dealer and follow the after-sales service terms and conditions for warranty.

Love it but..

Pros: rechargeable battery, high light output, easy detach, comfortable side buttons
Cons: No holster support (stuck using fanny pack)

Personally the side buttons are amazing for me. I have XL hands and with a wilson combat grip on my P365XL the button is right under my index. Also doesn't impede the finger movement into the trigger guard like the TLRs do

haven't used it much, impressed so far

haven't used it, did mount it. great fit as it's small enough to not be too obtrusive. GREAT that i don't have to buy a $30 pic rail to get a decent light finally! thank you!

Solid light.

Great light. Fits well on a G17. Performance is on par with the other big name lights. It would nice if some holster manufactures would create some offerings for Fenix.

Almost perfect …

I bought this light a few months back after purchasing the GL19r. Expectations were a bit high, I’ll admit, after seeing how well the GL19r performed. With that in mind, I was a little disappointed with the GL06. I still like it overall however, the negatives outweigh the positives in terms of “can I see myself using this light for any kind of conceal/duty carry.” Spoilers: The answer is no.

Pros:
- Less expensive than comparable compact pistol lights without sacrificing quality/durability
- Maintains the same solid QD rail lock as the GL19r
- Good light output, intensity, and run time on par with other compact lights in it’s segment
- Dual fuel with user serviceable batteries

Cons:
- No mainstream holster support outside of the one off custom holster makers with crazy lead times
- Color temperature is too warm as opposed to the GL19r’s more neutral light temperature
- While the QD rail lock is awesome, the rail keys are too short to properly fit in the grooves on the glock or 1913 pic rails. Though is hasn’t personally happened to me during use, the risk of ejecting the light under recoil is still there
- Not a fan of the push in style switches. I hope future versions adopt the GL19r’s press forward style switches as those feel way more tactile and responsive as well as being positioned higher as they should on a pistol light.

Gl06

Great quality and perfect size for a compact pistol.

Great Light A++

I took a chance on the GL06 especially since I own a P365 XM. One of my woes is that I dislike the activation switch being lower on the trigger guard etc, but I was really surprised on how well this light felt on my rail. It is very well constructed and feels high quality. The light's IPX7 water / dust certification and 1 meter impact resistance boosts confidence as well. In regards to the GL06's switch, it rides at a natural height in line with the trigger and feels great when pressed. The engineering of how the battery can be removed without the need of directly taking off the light from the pistol was a welcomed function too. The threading on the light cap screws on securely and the functions of the controls are A+, The included battery itself is fantastic with both the capability to charge in either Fenix's battery charging dock or via mini USB. The clamping function along with the screw make for a secure hold on the rail. Lastly, I love the simplistic yet great aesthetic of the light itself and it complements (imo) the lines of the XM. They make for a great pair, and though 600 lume may not be the brightest on the market, it's easily forgivable when you factor in everything holistically for a great price.
