About FenixLight Limited
As the proverb says “Improvement results from dissatisfaction”, the establishment of FenixLight Limited also resulted from dissatisfaction. A group of young men, passionate about high-quality flashlights, grew increasingly unsatisfied with the large number of mediocre flashlights on the market, inferior tools with substandard construction and poor attention to detail.
Dissatisfied by the lighting products available at the time, the young men set out to make world class illumination tools. Seeking help, they organized a group of professional engineers in the fields of metal machining, electronics and product design and together they founded FenixLight Limited. The marriage between ingenuity and craftsmanship help create Fenix’s legendary flashlights, tools that are held in high regard around the world.
Since it’s inception, FenixLight Limited has produced an outstanding product line. From the first L1 produced, to the latest multi-level, processor-controlled flashlights, Fenix strives to produce only the most innovative products.

The introduction of the L1 created a niche market and began to attract people’s attention.
Since then, Fenix has produced many models to add to their ever-expanding product line. Though challenges continue to increase, but with every new Fenix product they strive to bring their customers the highest-quality tool possible.

The Design Concept of Fenix Products - Outstanding performance
Through extensive development, an exceptional optic was produced with the perfect mix of throw and spill without any bothersome beam artifacts or shadows.
-A constant current regulation circuit, which keeps the flashlights in constant brightness regulation. Unlike traditional flashlights output will not dim over the life of the battery.
-Microprocessor controlled lights, Fenix is adding an extensive line of 'smart' lights that allows the user to select how their light performs.
-Anti-Reflective Coated (AR-coated) glass window, ensures optimal light transmittance.
-Digitally controlled constant current multilevel outputs, such as different brightness adjustment, strobe mode and SOS mode, which not only allow the user to select the best compromise between brightness and runtime for any given task but also have ability to aid in an emergency.
-Excellent durability and quality - Fenix flashlights do not provide excessive current to LEDs ("overdrive"). This assures that the LED will last its rated lifetime of 100,000 hours.
-Fenix flashlights implement effective and efficient heat sinks to protect the LED from overheating while keeping the LED efficient with its power consumption.
-Fenix flashlights use heat-treated glass windows for a more shock-absorbent flashlight. Many users have attested to the window’s durability.

-Fenix flashlights are compact, easy to use, and have been carefully designed to allow for tail-standing candle mode.
-Fenix flashlights are also created with aesthetics in mind (second only to function!), they believe their lights are the most handsome on the market.
-Each Fenix model has extensive development and innovation built right in. Each model is carefully developed by our design team before prototypes are produced. For each model, Fenix holds at least one patent.
Cost is not a factor when Fenix develops illumination tools. They concentrate on producing quality tools without cost restraints. Many of their products feature advanced circuitry for current regulated brightness, excellent heat dissipation to keep the LED at optimum temperature and powerful optics to focus all that light.
Fenix manufactures outstanding, rugged tools. They’re meant to be used and abused, without letting you down.
