Fenix SW05R Multipurpose Clip-On Light — User ManualUpdated 3 hours ago

The Fenix SW05R is a multipurpose clip-on light, available in two versions: a Red Light version and a UV Light version. This summary is drawn from the manufacturer's official user manuals for both versions — see the downloadable PDF reference manuals on the product page for complete details.

Overview

150 lumens maximum white-light output, 39 meters maximum beam distance. Utilizes one high-performance white light LED with a lifespan of 50,000 hours, plus a second-color LED: either a red light LED (Red Light version) or a 365nm UV LED (UV Light version), each also rated for 50,000 hours. Powered by a built-in 700mAh battery. Features an inner waterproof USB Type-C charging port, a 200° adjustable light head, a thin-and-thick dual clip design for attachment to hat brims, pockets, or other places, and a magnetic tail for hands-free use.

Size: 3.20" x 1.38" x 0.71"/81.2 × 35 × 18 mm. Weight: 1.94 oz/55 g (including battery).

Operating Instructions

On/Off: With the light switched off, press and hold the white light switch or the secondary (red/UV) light switch for 0.5 seconds to turn on the light. With the white light switched on, press and hold the white light switch for 0.5 seconds to turn it off. With the secondary light switched on, press and hold the secondary light switch for 0.5 seconds to turn it off.

Output Selection — White light: with the white light switched on, single click the white light switch to cycle through Low → Med → High.

Output Selection — Red Light version: with the red light switched on, single click the red light switch to cycle through Red constant-on → Red flash.

Output Selection — UV Light version: the UV light has a single fixed output level and cannot be adjusted.

Mode Switching: with the white light switched on, press and hold the secondary light switch for 0.5 seconds to switch to the secondary (red or UV) light. With the secondary light switched on, press and hold the white light switch for 0.5 seconds to switch back to the previously used output of the white light.

Intelligent Memory Circuit: the light memorizes the last selected output of white light. When the white light is switched on again, the previously selected output will be recalled.

Charging

Turn off the light and connect the USB Type-C socket of the charging cable to the light.
The indicator will display red while charging and will turn green when fully charged.
Once charging is completed, be sure to unplug the charging cable to ensure the normal use of the light.

Note: the normal charging time of the included battery is about 2 hours from depleted to fully charged with a 5V/500mA charging adapter. Recharge a stored light every four months to maintain optimum performance of the battery. The light can be operated while charging, but the actual brightness levels may vary depending on the charging status and battery level.

Battery Level Indication

Each time the light is switched on, the indicator in the white light switch will show the current battery level and will last for 3 seconds. With the light switched off, single click the white light switch to check the battery status; the indicator will last for 3 seconds.

Green light on: saturated 100% - 85%
Green light flashes: sufficient 85% - 50%
Red light on: poor 50% - 25%
Red light flashes: critical 25% - 1%

Low Voltage Warning

When the voltage level drops below 3.2V, the light is programmed to downshift to a lower brightness level until Low output is reached. When this happens in Low output, the battery level indicator blinks red to remind you to recharge the battery and will continue to do so until the battery runs out.

Technical Parameters — Red Light Version

Technical Parameters — UV Light Version

High: Output 150 lumens, Runtime 2 hours 32 minutes, Distance 39 meters, Intensity 383 candela
Med: Output 30 lumens, Runtime 12 hours 17 minutes, Distance 17 meters, Intensity 73 candela
Low: Output 5 lumens, Runtime 49 hours, Distance 7 meters, Intensity 12 candela
UV Light: Output 1500mW, Runtime 3 hours 14 minutes*

*The UV output is measured in total runtime including output at reduced levels due to temperature or protection mechanism in the design.

Both versions: Impact Resistance 1 meter, Waterproof IPX6. Specifications are based on ANSI/PLATO FL1 standard testing using the built-in 700mAh battery at 21±3°C and 50%-80% humidity — actual performance may vary by environment.

Usage and Maintenance

Fully charge the light in time to ensure normal function the next time it is needed.
Disassembling the light can cause damage to the light and will void the warranty.
The light may flicker, shine intermittently, or even fail to illuminate due to poor battery level — recharge the battery. If that doesn't resolve it, please contact the distributor.
