Fenix has launched two new camping lights/lanterns with replaceable batteries that can be charged via USB C. Three AAA batteries can also be used if needed. The CL20R Pro is slightly brighter than the CL20R 2.0 and has a motion sensor.

Fenix Lighting has introduced two new lanterns with USB-C charging ports, the CL20R Pro and the CL20R 2.0. Both are essentially successors to the CL20R, which is still available on Amazon. The new Pro version officially costs $55, while the 2.0 is priced at $45. Otherwise, the features appear to be quite similar. In emergencies, the lanterns can also be powered by three AAA batteries.

The two camping lanterns differ primarily in brightness. The Pro version delivers 400 lumens, while the 2.0 version is limited to 300 lumens. The Pro version also features a 5.8GHz radar sensor, which is designed to automatically switch the lantern off after one minute of inactivity and back on again when motion is detected. This can be very useful in scenarios where motion detection is needed, such illuminating paths during camping trips.

The Pro version has a minimum runtime of 5 hours and 3 minutes in the brightest mode, while the 2.0 model manages 5 hours and 56 minutes here. In moonlight mode, several hundred hours are possible. In addition, there are various scene modes that make the CL20R series a great party light thanks to an RGB mode. Futhermore, the lanterns can also be attached without hooks thanks to the magnetic base. Together with batteries, the lanterns weigh 122 grams and are also IP65 rated. A little rain (low-pressure water jet) is unlikely to be an issue. However, the lanterns are not completely waterproof.

Operating the lanterns require some learning. (Image source: Fenix Lighting USA)

I’ve been involved in the IT business for over 20 years, first as a Sysadmin (Mac & PC; 2000-2014) and then as a journalist (2005 onwards). I have attended many industry events, such as IDF, Displayweek, Computex, CES, and IFA, to cover subjects like mobile and local networks, Bluetooth standards, and developments in the mobile sector. Since 2017 I have also worked as an aviation journalist, which involves traveling around the world reporting about both planes and trains.

Growing up in regional Australia, I first became acquainted with computers in my early teens after a broken leg from a football (soccer) match temporarily condemned me to a predominately indoor lifestyle. Soon afterwards I was building my own systems. Now I live in Germany, having moved here in 2014, where I study philosophy and anthropology. I am particularly fascinated by how computer technology has fundamentally and dramatically reshaped human culture, and how it continues to do so.
