Fenix CL22R Rechargeable LED Camping Lantern – 500 Lumens

Fenix CL22R Rechargeable LED Camping Lantern – 500 Lumens

The Fenix CL22R Camping Lantern is a compact, multifunctional rechargeable LED lantern designed for camping, backpacking, outdoor recreation, emergency preparedness, and portable work lighting. Delivering up to 500 lumens of combined illumination and a maximum runtime of 200 hours, the CL22R provides versatile lighting in a lightweight design that fits easily into a backpack or emergency kit.

Featuring 360-degree area lighting, a powerful downward-facing flashlight, red signaling lights, and colorful RGB atmosphere lighting, this rechargeable lantern adapts to a variety of indoor and outdoor environments. Its built-in 2600mAh battery, USB-C charging, stepless brightness adjustment, and IP65-rated construction make it a convenient lighting solution for campsites, tents, fieldwork, and power outages.

500-Lumen High Performance LED Lighting

The Fenix CL22R combines warm white area lighting with a focused cool white downward-facing light. Both light sources can operate independently or together to produce a maximum combined output of 500 lumens.

• 360-Degree Area Lighting: Up to 200 lumens with a warm 3000K color temperature and a maximum illumination diameter of 20 meters.
• Downward-Facing Light: Up to 300 lumens with a cool 6500K color temperature and a maximum beam distance of 262 feet (80 meters).
• Combined Lighting: Up to 500 lumens when both white light sources operate together.

The flexible lighting configuration allows the CL22R to function as a traditional camping lantern, an overhead tent light, or a handheld flashlight for nighttime navigation.

Seven Lighting Modes & Stepless Brightness Adjustment

The CL22R offers three general lighting modes and four scene lighting modes. Its rotary brightness dial allows smooth adjustment of white light output, helping users select the appropriate brightness for their surroundings while conserving battery power.

• 360-degree warm white area lighting
• Downward-facing cool white flashlight
• Combined area and downward lighting
• Constant red light
• Flashing red light
• Color-changing RGB atmosphere lighting
• Smooth color-transition RGB atmosphere lighting

Colorful RGB Atmosphere Lighting

Twelve integrated RGB LEDs provide two decorative lighting modes for creating colorful illumination inside tents, around campsites, or during outdoor gatherings. Choose between changing individual colors and smooth color transitions to customize the atmosphere.

The dedicated red light modes offer additional functionality for low-light activities and signaling. Constant red light can help preserve dark adaptation, while flashing red light provides a visual signaling option.

2600mAh Rechargeable Battery & USB-C Charging

The Fenix CL22R is powered by a built-in 2600mAh rechargeable lithium-ion battery that provides up to 200 hours of operation in the lowest downward-lighting setting. Its integrated USB Type-C charging port allows convenient recharging without removing the battery.

A full recharge takes approximately three hours using a compatible 5V/1A or higher USB power adapter. The integrated battery level indicator helps users monitor remaining power and determine when recharging is needed.

Compact & Lightweight Camping Lantern

Measuring only 4.53 inches tall and weighing 4.76 ounces, the CL22R is an excellent choice for backpackers, campers, hikers, and anyone looking to minimize equipment weight. Its compact cylindrical design makes it easy to store in a backpack, vehicle, or emergency preparedness kit.

A built-in hanging loop and included double snap hook provide flexible mounting options for tent ceilings, backpack straps, camping shelters, and other suitable attachment points. The downward-facing light is especially useful when the lantern is suspended overhead.

Rotary Dial & Electronic Switch Controls

The CL22R features a rotary control dial for powering the general lighting modes and adjusting brightness. A separate electronic switch allows users to change between area lighting, downward lighting, and combined illumination.

The electronic switch also provides access to the red and RGB scene lighting modes. An intelligent memory function recalls the previously selected lighting mode for convenient operation.

IP65 Dust & Water Resistance

Designed for outdoor use, the Fenix CL22R features an IP65-rated housing that protects against dust ingress and water jets. Its 1.5-meter impact resistance provides additional durability for camping, travel, and everyday portable lighting.

The lantern incorporates intelligent temperature regulation that automatically reduces brightness when necessary to manage heat buildup during extended high-output operation.
