Wow - even brighter than a TK 75
By JohnSpartan
I have been using flashlights professionally for more than three decades. Started with a BIANCHI, changed to MAG-Lite 4 D and then to MAG-Lite charger for more than 20 years (now updated with a MiniStar 31 MR-EX and 1,000 lumens). In January 2013 I bought a FENIX TK 75 and have been very satisfied with it.
After FENIX just has started to offer the TK 75 a few time ago, another bright spotlight is available; this one has incredible 3,500 ANSI-lumens. Of course you can say "They can measure whatever they want - paper is patient" and of course you can let the brightness appear much higher than it really is (remember those "5,000-lumens-flashlights" for $ 70.- directly from any never-heard-of-company in China).
Most of those buyers are disappointed when they find out, that brightness, price and quality are on the same level: LOW
This RC 40 was currently (04/20/2013) tested by a very serious and independent website in Germany (taschenlampen-test.de - English version available) by using a so called "integrated sphere" (also known as "Ulbricht sphere"): Real existing 3,360 lumens !! And additionally my own fresh experiences tell me, that here is a lot more brightness than from a TK 75 ( 4 x XM-L U 2 instead of 3 x ).
My field testing acknowledged, that you can really identify things in the size of a sheet of paper in about 800 yards' distance (flashlight mounted on a tripod, ZEISS 20x60 S, BUSHNELL rangefinder).
The flashlight: Length 300 mm (which is nearly the same like a MAG-Lite 3 D), body's diameter 54mm and head's diameter 108 mm. So the RC 40 is a little slimmer than the TK 75, but longer. The weight incl. battery-pack is about three pounds (1,310 grams). So it is not a flashlight just to use incidentially.
You can choose 35, 150, 550, 1500 and 3500 lumens by clicking the rear of the two buttons below the head. This one also activates strobo by clicking twice. The top button switches ON and OFF.
Rechargeable battery and charger are built-in and you can charge by putting a cord into the tail-cap. Here you can also activate a battery fuel gauge. FENIX promises 150 minutes charging for 90% and 210 minutes for 100%.
The new RAPID SCAN BEAM produces really an amazing combination of throw and flood (overall coverage) including a 90 degrees wide beam for close-range coverage (TK 75 has about 80 degrees) without any warm-up period.
Flashlight set includes a battery-pack, charging cord for 100-240 volts and 12 volts. Threads are cut precisely, anodizing appears to be perfect, both buttons can easily be used with also big hands (as mine) or by wearing gloves.
RC 40 has an integrated protection against over-discharge, over-charge and over-heating.
Of course, this flashlight is not cheap, but compared to others from OLIGHT or NITECORE for example it is on the same level, but with an unbelieveable brightness.
So it is first choice for a wealthy consumer - or a brightness junkie like me.

Great light!
By RogerRanger
This thing is like what the statue of liberty holds. They could make a video showing some guy using it as a club, smashing a watermelon with it. The 3500 lumens only lasts 20 minutes before it trips to 1700, so as not to take the skin off your hand or melt your battery pack. It cools down quick and then you can switch it back up to 3500! It's got a proprietary battery pack that fits inside the flashlight, rather than the type of battery pack that includes the shell and fittings. Less cost to replace. Since the battery pack holds 6 lithium rechargables in it, I am just as happy to be able to just plug in the light and let it charge. Mixing lithiums with different charges can be somewhat disasterous. Beautiful spot beam. Not too heavy for a BIG light. Not for walking the dog.

end all and be all of flashlights
By Chris G.
Make sure that when you first get thing thing, remove a small cap on one of the battery leads that preserves the battery before you plug it in. I thought the flashlight was DOA because it would not charge and it sat outside in negative temps up here in the north east before I plugged it in so I thought the battery was dead for good. When you plug it in it's deceptive that the charge indicator lights tick away but they were not actually charging the battery. I removed the cap, took the battery out and noticed a little cap on one of the leads. Once removed, everything was fine. Nothing in the manual about this point. The battery came 1/2 charged.
Aside from the monster lumens, I got this because of the rechargeable factor built in to the light along with a car adapter. This is great for comping or... bug out! Other rechargeable alternatives involve your traditional batteries and charge units, but this is all inclusive and hassle free. I can just charge it via my solar panel and it will do the same thing as the car.
I also got this because I wanted to stop buying flashlights. I have all sorts laying around the house and I wanted one that will satisfy everything from a small beam to something that will blind an intruder - which leads me to my last reason why I got this: self defense.
WIth this thing in one hand and a firearm in the other, there is no living thing that will actually be able to look in your direction. You can't even look at the light on it's smallest setting. This can probably easily blind any animal, human or other, for a good bit of time.
And yes, when all else fails, like some others have said, you can use this as a club for a beat down. I guess if there was one complain it would be the size and weight, but it is what it is. I keep it by my bed side, along with something else that goes bang.
