The Fenix WT16R Flashlight is a versatile lighting device designed for various applications, offering both spotlight and floodlight modes, along with a unique yellow flash function. This compact and robust flashlight is built with user convenience and durability in mind, making it suitable for a wide range of tasks and environments.
The WT16R integrates two CREE XP-E2 LEDs and a COB floodlight source, ensuring a long lifespan of 50,000 hours. It is powered by a built-in 3.6V/2000mAh Li-polymer battery pack, which is rechargeable via a USB Type-C cable. The flashlight combines three distinct lighting functions: a focused spotlight for long-distance illumination, a broad floodlight for wide-area lighting, and a yellow flash for signaling or specific task lighting.
The device features super magnets strategically placed in its back and tail, allowing for easy attachment to metal surfaces. This hands-free operation is further enhanced by a widened stainless steel body clip, which provides a firm connection to packs or pockets, ensuring the light is always accessible and securely held.
An intelligent memory circuit is incorporated, which means the flashlight will recall the last selected output level when turned on again, streamlining operation and reducing the need for repeated adjustments. For user safety and optimal performance, the WT16R includes an intelligent overheat protection system that automatically downshifts output levels when high modes are used for extended periods, preventing the device from overheating. Additionally, a low voltage warning system alerts the user when the battery level drops, prompting a recharge to maintain performance.
Operating the Fenix WT16R is designed to be intuitive. To turn the light on or off, simply press and hold the switch for 0.5 seconds when the light is unlocked and switched off or on, respectively.
Mode switching between spotlight and floodlight is achieved by pressing and holding the switch for 1.2 seconds. This action will transition the light to the last used output level in the alternative mode.
Output selection within each mode is straightforward. In spotlight mode, a single click of the switch cycles through Low, Medium, and High brightness levels. In floodlight mode, a single click cycles through Low, High, and the Yellow Flash function.
The flashlight includes a lock/unlock mechanism to prevent accidental activation. To lock the device, double-click the switch when the light is unlocked and switched off; the light will blink twice on Low of spotlight to confirm the locked status. To unlock, double-click the switch when the light is locked and switched off; the light will activate with two-second blinks on Low of spotlight. If the switch is clicked or pressed while locked, the light will activate two one-second blinks to indicate its locked status.
Charging the WT16R is a simple process. First, ensure the light is switched off. Then, plug the USB A socket of the charging cable into an electrical outlet and connect the USB Type-C socket to the flashlight. A red indicator light will appear during charging and turn green once fully charged. It is important to close the anti-dust cover after charging to protect the port. During charging, low output levels for both spotlight and floodlight modes, as well as the yellow flash, remain available. The normal charging time from depletion to full is approximately 1 hour and 40 minutes with a 5V/2A adapter.
The device also features a battery level indication system. When the light is switched off, a single click of the switch will display the battery status for 5 seconds. A green light indicates a saturated charge (100%-85%), a flashing green light signifies sufficient charge (85%-50%), a red light indicates a poor charge (50%-25%), and a flashing red light warns of a critical charge level (25%-1%).
The Fenix WT16R is constructed from quality plastics, offering anti-drop and anti-corrosion properties, contributing to its overall durability. To ensure the longevity and proper functioning of the flashlight, certain maintenance guidelines should be followed.
It is crucial not to disassemble the sealed head of the flashlight, as this can cause damage to the light and will void the warranty. The internal components are designed to be self-contained and do not require user intervention for maintenance.
To prevent accidental activation, particularly during storage or transportation, it is recommended to lock the light. This helps conserve battery life and avoids unintended illumination.
For optimal battery performance, especially when storing the light for extended periods, it is advised to recharge a stored light every four months. This practice helps maintain the battery's health and ensures it is ready for use when needed.
The intelligent overheat protection system is a key maintenance feature, as it automatically manages the light's temperature during prolonged use of high output modes. If high modes are selected for over 5 minutes, the spotlight will gradually reduce its output to 200 lumens, and the floodlight will gradually reduce to 150 lumens. This automatic adjustment prevents the flashlight from reaching excessively high temperatures, protecting both the device and the user from potential scalding.
The low voltage warning system also contributes to maintenance by prompting timely recharges. When the battery voltage drops below a preset level, the flashlight will automatically downshift to lower brightness levels until it reaches the Low output. At this point, the battery level indicator will blink red, signaling that a recharge is necessary. This feature helps prevent deep discharge, which can negatively impact battery lifespan.
In summary, the Fenix WT16R Flashlight is a well-designed, multi-functional lighting tool that prioritizes ease of use, durability, and intelligent power management. Its combination of spotlight, floodlight, and yellow flash, along with robust construction and smart features, makes it a reliable companion for various lighting needs.
