The Fenix PD36R ACE is a 3,000-lumen USB-C rechargeable tactical flashlight built around one standout feature: three user-programmable operating modes that let you tailor tail-switch behavior to how you actually use a light. With a 415-meter (1,361-foot) beam, a high-capacity 21700 battery, and runtimes up to 63.5 hours, the PD36R ACE adapts to your role – duty carry, self-defense, search, or EDC – including the option to disable strobe entirely.

3,000-lumen turbo with a 415m throw
The PD36R ACE has a 3,000-lumen turbo output that reaches 415 meters (1,361 feet) down range. Step down through 1,000, 350, 150, and 30-lumen levels for area lighting, close-up work, navigation, or extended runtime up to 63.5 hours on a single charge.
3 programmable tactical modes
The defining feature of the PD36R ACE is its three pre-built program modes, each with a distinct tail-switch activation sequence. Swap between them quickly to match the task – duty carry, self-defense, area search, or general-purpose use – without relearning a single fixed UI for every situation.
Strobe on, strobe off – your call
Strobe is invaluable for disorientation and emergency signaling, but it isn’t what every user wants in a daily light. The PD36R ACE lets you turn strobe off completely, so you’ll never trigger it by accident while clearing a closet, searching a vehicle, or working in tight quarters.
Hidden mode switch keeps the profile clean
Unscrew the sleeve below the bezel to reveal the program switch and integrated USB-C charge port. Mode changes stay deliberate (no accidental switching in the holster), and the outside of the light keeps a clean tactical profile that won’t snag on gear.
USB-C charging, no cradle required
The PD36R ACE charges directly through its built-in USB-C port using the included USB-C to USB-A cable – or any standard USB-C cable you already own. No proprietary charger to lose, no removing the cell to top it off.
High-capacity 21700 cell for long runtimes
The included Fenix 21700 rechargeable lithium-ion battery delivers significantly more capacity than legacy 18650 cells, supporting runtimes from 3 hours at full turbo all the way out to 63.5 hours on the lowest setting.
Pocket-ready 5.7″ form factor
At 5.7 inches long with a 1.24″ bezel and 1″ barrel, the PD36R ACE rides comfortably in a duty holster, pocket, or pack – and comes with a pocket clip, nylon holster, and wrist lanyard so you can carry it the way you prefer.
Who the Fenix PD36R ACE Is For
The PD36R ACE is built for law enforcement, security professionals, first responders, military personnel, and serious EDC carriers who want a 3,000-lumen tactical flashlight that conforms to their preferred user interface instead of forcing them to conform to it. The programmable modes also make it a strong pick for households or teams who share one light between users with different needs.
