I saw a Fenix tweet not long ago and be my own hero. An enterprise grows from scratch, grows bigger and stronger, and all of them are their own heroes. For everyone, life is to be your own hero. A hero will always defy hardships and dangers, constantly challenge himself, and keep his faith and move forward forever. In 2001, there was such a company established in Shenzhen, and that was Fenix. Until September 3, 2021, a full twenty years. To commemorate these 20 years of wind and rain, Fenix meticulously created this different product, the APEX 20 limited edition flashlight. After many days of playing, it is indeed a rare masterpiece, and I hereby share it with everyone.
The first time I saw APEX 20, in fact, there was more surprise. The style and appearance of the lighter, the national style texture and the lighter style are combined with each other, leaving people with a mysterious and urge to explore; one-handed holding is cool and beautiful, the APEX 20 barrel is covered with complex and changeable two-color textures, and the side light The bottom can also reflect a different color. Such an exquisite little object will make you remember for a long time.
APEX 20 as a flashlight, first of all, the first is the lighting output. From the perspective of my use, the output performance is not inferior to professional flashlights, and even some functions are more accurate Professional outdoor flashlights are even better. Judging from the output effect of the above figure, it is indeed a rare fine work in flashlights. I have played the barrel for many years, and I have hardly seen a portable barrel with such a small size that it can play.
exquisite appearance design
ancient style and ancient color China for thousands of years,The classics will always be passed on and will never fade. For the 20th anniversary of Fenix's founding, special masterpieces Qingluan and Huofeng. The body oxidation of this flashlight adopts an unusual treatment method, which is rare in some previous products. It can present two different two-color textures of Qingluan and Fire Phoenix. The surface is very fine and feels double. good. The top of the flashlight adopts the most classic Chinese pane design, full of Chinese style. At the same time, the appearance of APEX 20 refreshed some of my previous knowledge of Phoenix, and the designer estimated that it was also using great power.
High-strength titanium alloy finely crafted
As a limited edition commemorative flashlight, the selection of materials is also quite exquisite. The hand motor is made of high-strength TC4 titanium alloy with more details. It is excellence. Titanium alloy is a special material that you don't have much contact with in life, and high-end metals are expensive. In the medical industry, many high-strength materials use titanium alloys. This metal has a smaller specific gravity and stronger after implantation in the human body. Needless to say for aerospace, titanium alloy has high strength and light weight, but it is difficult to process. The material is characterized by corrosion resistance and wear resistance. It has many advantages and disadvantages. In addition to being expensive, it is expensive.
Lightweight and ultra-portable
Titanium alloy APEX 20 flashlight is used. The weight control is almost the same as that of a metal lighter. The size is 70.4*28.5*13.7mm, and the volume is very small. The product is positioned on the lightweight route, and there is no pressure to carry it in daily life.
In order to solve the carrying solution, Phoenix also provides a leather lanyard, which can be fixed to the rope hole on the top of APEX 20, making it easier to carry.
red and white dual light sources
APEX 20’s optical system design is particularly characteristic,Using red and white dual-color light sources, 1 CREE XP-LHI V2 white LED and 1 CREE XQ-E red LED, the dual light sources can meet more scenarios and applications at the same time. White light can be used for daily emergency supplementary lighting, night walking and other common usage scenarios, red light can be used for camp lighting and emergency warnings, etc., and the mutual effect of the two is also greatly increased.
Speaking of dual-light source lighting, I have to say the pioneer of Fenix E03R. Last year's supercar E03R can be said to be also very distinctive. Such a small size can switch between four gears and add white and red dual light sources. APEX 20 is many times better than E03R in terms of material and design. For the optical system TIR lens, E03R uses a frosted treatment to make the light softer at 260 lumens, while APEX 20 uses a transparent design. The flashlight has a projection capacity of 86 meters under extremely bright 760 lumens to meet more application scenarios. These two models are positioned differently.
Speaking of fill light, let’s take a look at the short-range and long-range projection effects of white light. The above picture is close, and the illuminating object can be fed back clearly, and the main and auxiliary light spots are excessively soft and uniform. At a long-range projection distance of more than ten meters, it also has a very good effect. I did not expect such a small body to still have a good lighting effect in a relatively large outdoor scene. The center is bright enough to clearly see the text above, and the edge brightness is moderate, and the visibility is also good, and the surrounding conditions can be clearly seen.
Regarding the red light, APEX 20 is also very interesting. It is actually equipped with three gears, which will be closer to the practical application. Red light is suitable for a wide range of applications. First of all, human eyes are not sensitive to red light. Suddenly seeing white light in the dark is very dazzling.At this time, the pupils will not shrink with red light, reducing the pressure on the eyes. In addition, the red light outdoors in summer will not attract insects and can be used as a warning light. APEX 20 can be said to be a multi-purpose machine.
Mechanical flywheel control system
The most attractive aspect of APEX 20 is the side control system. From the perspective of Phoenix's existing flashlight dimming control, Fenix prefers a mechanical turntable design. Men have a natural hobby for machinery. APEX 20 is specially designed for men with large turntable dimming to satisfy men's fascination with machinery.
This dial switch has a very special dimming logic. It uses clockwise and counterclockwise to switch between red and white, which can be described as silky smooth. It is able to dimming quickly, which provides protection for the fast switching of APEX 20 preset eight gears. If it is the previous one-button switch, 8 gears will become very cumbersome, and APEX 20 can completely ignore it. From the comparison of the single-button E03R and APEX 20's turntable dimming, APEX 20's dimming speed is n times faster than the single-button dimming. One-handed control, with anti-misstart function, the principle is to have a continuous rotation process to light the flashlight, which can greatly reduce the possibility of false light.
Type-C charging & battery display
In terms of charging, APEX 20 uses the mainstream Type-C interface, which is more convenient for positive and negative blind insertion. It can be charged using the charger mobile power supply. The real-time input power of the external power supply has reached 2.1W. It takes 1 hour and 51 minutes to fill this 500mAh battery cell, which is still very fast.
Although the flashlight is small, it is unambiguous in terms of configuration. APEX 20 comes standard with a four-LED power display function, which is convenient for understanding the power of the flashlight.Avoid embarrassment when power is low.
Charge and side lighting function, this is almost unlimited battery life, it can still provide necessary lighting when charging, and it can be charged and illuminated when camping, which is more practical.
Multi-level lighting application
The three-level red light in the flashlight is really shocking, and the low, medium and high are straightforward. The picture above is a real shot in three gears of 1, 30, and 100 lumens. The red light highlight effect is very good, and it can be used as auxiliary light for short-term reading.
Brings very bright performance for walking at night, which can satisfy most of the daily lighting applications. APEX 20 supports IP68 protection, catching fish and shrimps and throwing the flashlight in the water will not affect it. It is recommended that you do not try to enter the water in a high-heat state. The probability of winning is still relatively high.
760, 350, 150, 30, 5 lumens, five levels of white light switching scenes, even at the energy saving level of 5 lumens, it can still effectively identify road conditions, in extreme cases white light energy saving levels It can last for 35 hours, and the red light can last for 50 hours. The battery life of APEX 20 is still very satisfactory among similar small-sized flashlights.
The projection ability of the extremely bright gear of 86 meters is also gratifying. The strength of APEX 20 is not inferior to the small straight barrel. The effect of such a small size is already violent, and high fever is unavoidable. The flashlight is perfect. The temperature control system will automatically downshift when the temperature is too high to provide a more comfortable experience.
To be able to carry around at all times, lanyards and keychains are almost the best partners of this kind of small flashlights. With the size of a lighter , such an exquisite pendant can provide emergency lighting with multiple light sources in a dark environment, which makes people love it.
Faced with such exquisite products, the designer has provided APEX 20 with a full range of designs, and the packaging is also very attentive. Gift box packaging is provided for the product, which is very hard core. Hardcover gift box with hot stamping text, Fenix 20th Anniversary Limited Edition, only 2500 customized, it is very powerful to send relatives and friends to friends, and the APEX 20 flashlight is incomparably worth starting with Phoenix.
