IWA | Fenix C7 Pro and C7 v2.0: Rugged USB-C flashlights announced

Over the next few months, Fenix is set to launch two new flashlights that focus primarily on durability and are intended for household and industrial use. The C7 v2.0 and C7 Pro are fairly large but correspondingly rugged flashlights that are powered by a 21700 battery. Many technical details are still unknown at this point, but Fenix has already showcased the new gadgets at IWA 2026.

Both flashlights can be charged via USB-C. The port itself is protected against water, so it does not necessarily need a cover. As for the port, Acebeam says the C7 Pro can be charged at 3 amps, which is the maximum USB-C allows without Power Delivery and corresponds to 15 watts. For a flashlight in this size class, that is comparatively high. Charging specs for the Fenix C7 v2.0 are still pending.

There are also differences in terms of output. Based on current information, the Fenix C7 Pro flashlight delivers 4,600 lumens, while the C7 v2.0 hits up to 3,200 lumens. That will result in shorter runtimes on the Pro version, which lasts at least 1.5 hours, while the smaller Fenix C7 v2.0 comes in at around 2.5 hours.

The C7 Pro flashlight also has a slightly wider beam. At 30 lumens, it measures 180 candela. The v2.0 reaches 527 candela at 30 lumens, this is the result of different optics. The former uses four LEDs, while the v2.0 uses a single LED. Both also have a fairly strong magnetic tailcap for mounting.

Fenix says the flashlights are expected to launch in about three months, roughly around April/May. Pricing is expected to be around €80 for the C7 v2.0 and around €90 for the C7 Pro. Exact prices for the US market are yet to be revealed.
