Fenix CL20R Reference ManualUpdated an hour ago

The Fenix CL20R is a Micro USB rechargeable camping lantern. This summary is drawn from the manufacturer's official user manual — see the downloadable PDF reference manual on the product page for complete details.

Overview

  • 16 neutral white LEDs plus 2 red LEDs, even and smooth beam.
  • White lantern: 4 output levels; red lantern: 2 output levels.
  • Max 300 lumens and 200 hours runtime.
  • Built-in 1600mAh Li-polymer battery.
  • Magnetic bottom and hanging loop.
  • Digitally regulated output maintains constant brightness.
  • Single electronic switch for fast and convenient operation.
  • Made of quality plastics and high transparent material for a smooth, anti-glaring beam.

Operating Instructions

White Lantern

On/Off: Press and hold the switch for 0.5 seconds to turn the lantern on or off.

Output Selection: Single click the switch to cycle through Low→Med→High→Turbo (Low is factory defaulted).

Red Lantern

On/Off: With the lantern turned on, double click to enter red lantern. Double click again to return to white lantern. Press and hold for 0.5 seconds to turn off the lantern.

Output Selection: Single click the switch to cycle through Constant on→Red Flash (Constant on is factory defaulted).

Intelligent Brightness Downshifting

The camping lantern will accumulate a lot of heat when used for extended periods. After 30 minutes working on Turbo, the light will automatically step down from 300 lumens to 120 lumens to reduce temperature. After an hour working on High, the light will automatically step down from 130 lumens to 52 lumens to reduce temperature.

Charging

Remove the anti-dust cover to reveal the charging port of the camping lantern and plug the Micro USB terminal of the charging cable into it. If the battery level is fairly sufficient, the charging indicator displays green to indicate unnecessary charging. Otherwise the charging indicator will display red while charging, and will turn solid green when fully charged. Normal charging time for the built-in 1600mAh battery is approximately 1 hour and 40 minutes from depleted to fully charged with the light off. Once charging is completed, be sure to remove the charging cable and replace the anti-dust cover to maintain the waterproof ability.

*The lantern can only be used on Low and Med output while charging, but the charging time will be prolonged.

Battery Level Indication

With the lantern turned off, single click the switch — the battery level indicator on the side switch will display the battery status for 3 seconds.

  • Green light constant-on: saturated, more than 85%.
  • Green light flashes: sufficient, 85%-51%.
  • Red and green light alternately: poor, 50%-21%.
  • Red light flashes: critical, 20%-0%.

(These are approximate figures.)
