We cherish the trust of every user, and sincerely hope for world peace and safety for all. The following is a true story from Ukrainian user Volkov Oleksiy Pavlovich, telling how the Fenix accompanied and guarded him in special moments.

I have known about the Fenix company for quite some time. I have heard a lot about you from both diggers and ordinary people and from the military.

I was thinking about buying a good flashlight. Once I went to the military market where my friend worked, and I asked if there were any good flashlights. He said yes and started showing me flashlights, and then I saw the Fenix PD25R. It is small, convenient, and made of good materials. I decided to buy it and did not regret it. It has helped me many times.

Here is the story after my injury. I was in the hospital for more than two weeks. During the evacuation, I lost some of my equipment, and I was worried that I had lost my flashlight. When it was time to return home, the doctors put on my outerwear. It was December, and the days were short. I went home, and after three hours I was in my city. It was already dark, and I had to walk several kilometers home.

I remembered that I should have a flashlight and tried to find it in my pockets. It was not easy because both of my hands were wrapped up. But I was able to find the flashlight with my left hand, and even though my left hand was almost completely wrapped up, I could use it normally because of its weight, size, and convenient shape. I calmly reached home.

During the war, this flashlight was useful many times: during clearing operations, evacuations, assaults, and many other tasks. I remember very well how it helped during the clearing of a building. It performed perfectly in the basement, where it was necessary to illuminate long corridors. After the clearing, we came out with two prisoners, and I illuminated the medic with this flashlight so that he could provide assistance to the prisoners. The medic coped with it perfectly because of the flashlight’s weight and size.

It is used everywhere. Everyone finds it convenient, from its size to the charging port. I am attaching a photo comparing the flashlight with the shanks from the cluster MLRS Uragan projectile.

The flashlight is very convenient. It is not big, light, and comfortable to hold in my hand, even my right hand — I have three fingers left, as two fingers were torn off.

It sits comfortably and does not slip. It is small, light, and does not weigh me down.

It has a convenient type of battery. In an emergency, it can be used as a power bank. The battery is quite convenient and can be bought in many places, although it will not be needed soon because the stock battery is good.

This flashlight was with me when I was injured and two fingers were torn off. It stayed in my uniform for two months. When I took it out, it had not lost its charge and worked properly.

It is also convenient to send an emergency signal. You can use it to break glass and do many other things. It is convenient both for war and in emergencies. A good charging cable is included.

This flashlight is very wonderful. I could talk a lot about it.
