Usage and Maintenance

  • Disassembling the sealed head can cause damage to the light and will void the warranty.

Reviews

The perfect neighbor "loaner"

"This is a perfectly functional flashlight for what most folks - myself included - require: Wide beam, modest distance, easily replaced battery, small and light, durable and waterproof, modest price. I live in a cooperative community of 19 families. I'm the "tool guy" who has everything available to borrow, flashlights included. I have a set of basic, inexpensive or well used but perfectly functional tools and flashlights that are my "loaners. " This is the perfect "loaner" flashlight that won't bring tears if it's lost or broken by the "technically challenged. ""

— Peter P. (5/5)

Useful and simple.

"I have had all of the versions of the E12 and this one is a nice upgrade. It's perfect to keep in the car with the magnetic tail. Good options for brightness levels... Moon/reading light is great when it's all you need, the 30 lumens is surprisingly useful for a lot of common tasks, while 200 lumens is getting pretty bright when needed. Very useful, small, and simple to use."

— Chris H. (5/5)

FENIX E12 V3 potencia de luz en un tamaño compacto

"Quería más potencia en un tamaño compacto para llevar en el bolsillo. Mi linterna habitual era la Fenix E05 de batería AAA; una gran opción, pero limitada a 85 lúmenes. Debido a mis caminatas nocturnas y paseos con mi perro, elegí la Fenix E12 V3. 0 con batería AA y el cambio fue excelente. Sus tres niveles de luz se adaptan a cualquier situación diaria. El clip integrado facilita su transporte y el imán de la base es de gran ayuda al revisar el coche. Estoy tan satisfecho que planeo comprar una segunda unidad para mi mochila."

— Bernardo (5/5)

Great little light

"I like how this light is very simple to operate, has a good selection of brightness levels and remembers the last one you used, has excellent run times, and it’s easy to find a battery for it. It can also tail stand to act like a candle or lantern during a power outage, etc. Highly recommended!"

— WILLIAM H. (5/5)

I love the small Fenix

"I love the small Fenix flashlights. Very reliable, very durable compared to cheap compeititors. However, Fenix used to make and even more compact version, using a single AAA battery. Don't see it offfered anymore."

— Niven B. (5/5)

Solid improvement in switch. I

"Solid improvement in switch. I like the firmer feel. Magnetic base is helpful at times. Use it every day! Thank you for the quality build!"
