Hi. New subscriber. Greetings from the Detroit, Michigan, USA area! Nice review! I purchased my Fenis LR80R when it first appeared on the market a few years back. It has worked flawlessly. The flashlight may be somewhat large, however, it's the large size that dissapates the heat faster than a smaller unit...there is more surface area exposed to the air without the need for a fan which draws extra power. The large battery seems to offer plenty of reserve and run times. I wouy definitely recommend one based on my experience 😊.
Im looking for the longest throw, straight beam flashlight i can find. I currently have a manker u22 mkiii and its very impressive with the distance that little light puts out. But i want somehting with more...like unnecessary more lol. Any suggestions? I was about to buy thr lr60r, but im afraid it has more flood and less beam than im looking for.
Which LED do you have in the manker? The LR60R has a max intensity of around 290k cd, that’s not a huge improvement over the 250k cd the manker puts out with the osram LED. Check out the convoy 3x21d, that thing can output 660k cd according to 1lumen and it’s way cheaper than the LR60R.
Very nice presentation. The beam shots show the difference and what is the best light for the task. Please could you consider doing a longer segment for the night shots. I own the original RC40, and though it is ancient history now at 3500 Lumens it is still impressive due to the over 100000 candela. It’s always with me when I’m out in the wilds. New subscriber. 👍
Thanks for your feedback. I notice high dropoff rate when the night shots become too long and hardly anybody watches it till the end. Need to find the right balance : )
Ok, weird question. Can you turn it on to max brightness in an instant? Odd question I know but if I want to absolutely fry an intruders eyeballs in a split second lol😅 Or does it always start at low levels? I guess is what I'm asking
LR80R has mode memory. If you switch off in highest mode you can turn it on again in highest mode with one press. LR60R with the rotary switch you can turn it all the way to the right.
For both LR60R, and LR80R there are changeable batteries available. For the LR80R its the complete handle with the batteries built inside, which needs to be changed. But thats still a good solution compared to LR40RV2. There batteries are fixed inside. No possibilty to change for spare or in case of damage.. Always prefere models where you can swap the batteries
@bewareofthebeam thank you!! I actually ordered the 60 yesterday. I'm sure I will love it. But I will still always love that beam on the 80 -lol. I appreciate your advice and you taking the time to respond to me.

For longest throw you should look out for a LEP laser flashlight
Sounds like you need a fenix HT30R

I jumped the gun, I thought the video was over when you finished at the desk.
It’s a difficult audience, I hope you find your rhythm.

hey great review. so I got the lr80r any reasons to upgrade. to the lr60r?
Lr60r is not an upgrade to lr80r. Its more big brother of lr40r
Is it better to get rechargeable replacable or built in rechargeable?

@@bewareofthebeam what is the better out of the two?
Great review! I am totally torn. I wanted the 60, but now I like the 80 as well. Anyone that has any good advice, please help.
Intense Spot OR Extreme Flood = Go for LR60R.
Extreme Wide Spot = Go for LR80R
@bewareofthebeam thank you!! I actually ordered the 60 yesterday. I'm sure I will love it. But I will still always love that beam on the 80 -lol.

I have the LR60R. It's a great throw, but the 80R looks to be even better.
Hopefully the more expensive one is better. It'd be a shame to pay more and not get the best.
Great vide9
Thanks : ) Planning the next comparison of 2 strong lights already.
