It is back in stock now. Please understand we send email newsletters at the same time we post on CPF. Sometimes sales are such that interest from our marketing efforts is great. Unless the factory is out of stock on a product, we quickly restock. Please let us know the exact question you have and we will get the exact specifics from the Fenix engineers. Thank you for being a part of our community.

Thank you for your response.
Ask your engineers what the Color Rendering Index is at different color temperatures for this tool. Including R9 would be helpful.

Are the battery cells
User-Replaceable ? ? ?

I'm guessing it uses two 21700 cells . . . .

Here Fenix's reply:

As for the CL28R, please see below for the current testing data that we have for now – The team did not do the test with the color rendering index, and it may take some time for us to go through the internal process here with the new testing if needed. We will follow up and keep you updated later when we hear back from the team.

Hopefully in the future, Fenix will understand that candlepowerforums is an enthusiast site; that many of us here care very much about the quality of the light from our tools.

If a manufacturer claims one of their products is suitable for photography yet provides nothing in the way of explaining how or why it is suitable (namely good color rendering) then their credibility is in question.

The days of "don't you worry your pretty little head, we will decide what is best for you" is long gone for most consumers in the crowded flashlight market we are experiencing today.

We understand Fenix Store is not the problem here but it could be part of the solution.

Thanks!

We will send this thread to Fenix/engineers. Corporate does read the forum so hopefully they will consider your comments. Thanks for making the products better.

Well, we just got this from Fenix so they had been working on it! I hope this answers all your questions.

Very nice! Certainly reflects well on the integrity Fenix has towards its customers.

I was looking at Nitecore for this type of light but now Fenix is at the forefront. Thanks!
