CL20R Lantern – an ideal light for everyone

Ambassador John G.

I placed my Fenix order for a few lights and accessories during this holiday rush. I also placed several other orders for non Fenix gifts for my kids, etc. Fenix must have friends at the postal service because they are almost the only entity to deliver my items and they were even 2 days earlier than expected!

As usual I break everything out and get them all plugged in and charging. While the batteries are charging I check the lights out and see how they feel and function, etc. This one charges via USB and does not have a removable battery.

I now own all of the lanterns except the smallest one. I wasn’t expecting much out of this one so I have to admit once it got dark and I turned this on I was a bit shocked and pleasantly surprised at the power this little thing emitted for the size. It has 4 levels of White and 1 of Red. Turbo, or 300 lumens, is really something coming from something that literally fits in the palm of your hand.

2 really nice features of this lantern are that the bottom is magnetic. This is very handy when working around the house or on a car and if you can’t find something magnetic to stick it to while you work it has a hanger that folds out for use. There’s really no way you cannot find a way to use this light.

This light would be useful if you camp in tents or even in a camper or RV. I no longer have any of my old Coleman gas lanterns but would bet that this little thing puts out more light and for longer. This isn’t just a light for campers though. This would be an ideal light for everyone to have in their home and another for their garage. The uses for this are many. I am really impressed with this one. It would make a great inexpensive gift also for pretty much anyone.

My photo of this light in use, in Turbo, will be in my 2.5 car garage. I have no other lights on in that garage. Amazing and powerful light for the money! Grab a few!
