E18R V2 1200-Lumen Rechargeable EDC Flashlight | Fenix

Pocket-Sized Power for Everyday Adventure

A dependable flashlight is one of those pieces of equipment that proves its value in the moments you least expect. Whether you're returning to camp after sunset, checking equipment in a dark corner, or dealing with an unexpected power outage, having reliable illumination within reach can make an immediate difference. The Fenix E18R V2 Rechargeable EDC Flashlight delivers impressive performance in a remarkably compact design, combining powerful output, convenient USB-C charging, and rugged construction in a flashlight that fits comfortably into everyday life.

Measuring just 2.64 inches long, the E18R V2 is small enough to disappear into a pocket, yet capable of producing up to 1,200 lumens with a maximum beam distance of 479 feet (146 meters). Its five brightness levels allow you to adapt the light to your surroundings, from a gentle 1-lumen Moonlight setting for close-range tasks to a powerful Turbo mode when greater visibility is needed. An additional strobe mode provides a high-intensity flashing option for appropriate emergency signaling situations.

Despite its compact dimensions, the E18R V2 offers thoughtful features that make it particularly practical for everyday carry. A magnetic tail allows the flashlight to attach to suitable steel surfaces, providing hands-free illumination when working on equipment, organizing supplies, or inspecting a vehicle. The included two-way pocket clip offers flexible carrying options, allowing the light to be positioned bezel-up or bezel-down according to your preference.

Power comes from an included Fenix ARB-L16-800P rechargeable 16340 lithium-ion battery, which can be recharged directly inside the flashlight using its built-in USB-C charging port. A full recharge takes approximately 1 hour and 20 minutes, making it easy to keep the flashlight ready between uses. For extended trips or emergency preparedness, the E18R V2 can also operate using a compatible non-rechargeable CR123A lithium battery, although performance will differ and this battery must never be recharged inside the flashlight.

The Moonlight setting provides an exceptionally useful balance between illumination and endurance, offering up to 228 hours of runtime with the included 800 mAh battery under manufacturer test conditions. This low-output mode is ideal for reading, finding equipment inside a tent, or navigating a familiar indoor space without the glare of a brighter beam.

A single side switch keeps operation straightforward, while electronic lockout helps prevent accidental activation in a pocket or backpack. Intelligent brightness memory restores the previously selected level, excluding Turbo and Strobe, and the integrated battery-level indicator provides a convenient way to check remaining power.

Built from A6061-T6 aluminum with a hard-anodized finish, the E18R V2 combines lightweight portability with dependable durability. Its IP68 rating provides dust-tight protection and resistance to water immersion under specified conditions, while 1-meter impact resistance helps it withstand everyday knocks and drops.

For those who appreciate practical, high-quality equipment without unnecessary bulk, the Fenix E18R V2 offers an excellent combination of everyday convenience, outdoor capability, and preparedness.

Powerful When You Need It. Subtle When You Don't.

Not every situation calls for maximum brightness. The E18R V2's five white-light settings make it easy to balance visibility, comfort, and battery life.

Turbo mode delivers the flashlight's maximum 1,200-lumen output for situations requiring greater illumination, while High and Medium offer practical choices for regular outdoor use. Lower settings help conserve power, and the 1-lumen Moonlight mode is particularly useful inside a tent, around a sleeping area, or when searching through equipment without overwhelming the surrounding space.

Because high-output LEDs generate heat, the flashlight automatically regulates its output under demanding conditions. Turbo is intended for situations requiring strong illumination rather than continuous operation at maximum brightness.

Everyday Carry Without the Bulk

At less than three inches long, the E18R V2 is designed to be carried rather than left behind. Its compact profile makes it easy to keep in a jacket pocket, backpack organizer, vehicle compartment, or small emergency kit.

The magnetic tail adds another dimension of usefulness. Attach the flashlight to a suitable metal surface while working with both hands, or use the two-way clip to keep it securely accessible throughout the day.

Rechargeable Convenience with Backup Flexibility

The included 16340 rechargeable battery and built-in USB-C charging make the E18R V2 easy to maintain as part of an everyday routine. Its relatively short charging time means the flashlight can be replenished between outings without requiring a separate battery charger.

For situations where electrical power is unavailable, compatibility with a non-rechargeable CR123A lithium battery provides an alternative. This makes the E18R V2 a practical option for travel, camping, and emergency preparedness, where access to charging facilities cannot always be guaranteed.

Built for Everyday Reliability

Good equipment should be dependable, intuitive, and ready to use when needed. The E18R V2 brings together durable aluminum construction, waterproof protection, simple controls, and practical carrying options in a design that occupies very little space.

Whether you're exploring outdoors, preparing for unexpected situations, or simply looking for a capable flashlight to keep close at hand, the Fenix E18R V2 delivers substantial performance in a compact, thoughtfully designed package.
