If you're still changing your flashlight's batteries in 2018, it might be time for an upgrade. With a modern light, keeping a charge is as easy as plugging in your phone, thanks to built-in USB ports and new battery technology. Fenix was one of the first to introduce this with their UC35, which was based on an EDC crowd favorite, the PD35. They've updated it further in 2018 with all-new specs to give you the performance you need. The UC35 V2.0 is a great light made smaller, brighter, more versatile, and longer lasting than its predecessor.

The original UC35 was a great light in its own right, but the V2 still manages to squeeze in significant improvements. For starters, its redesigned body is 10mm shorter overall with a more centered grip section on the barrel for comfort and control. As for output, the V2 opts for a CREE XP-L HI V3 emitter to push 1000 lumens out 266 meters, slightly edging out the original's 960 lumen output and 200 meter throw. The V2's larger 3500mAh 18650 Li-ion battery (included) combined with an all-new 1-lumen Moonlight mode results in an impressive 800 hours of runtime. The V2 cycles through its 5 modes with an upgraded stainless steel side switch with an integrated battery level indicator.

You'll still find plenty of features you'd expect from a quality EDC light in the new UC35, like a tactical tail switch, hard-anodized aluminum construction, IP68-rated water resistance, and built-in micro-USB charging. If you still prefer primary cells for your flashlight, like for use in colder environments, the UC35 V2 also accommodates two CR123a batteries.
