It's hard for me to get excited about most lights these days.
I was excited for this one!!!
Meet the light I was waiting for from Fenix.
The ER30R!
The light is a compact, EDC light packing some horsepower under the hood.
It's beautifully built, yet - for it's diminutive size, ravenously powerful.
The light itself comes with:
The light.
Lanyard.
Orings
Magnetic charging cable.
Clip.
3500mAh battery, included!!
The inclusion is not only a smart one, but needed. This light puts out POWER.
With all that power though, the light needs heat management. Fenix did pretty well well with that.
In addition, it's a seamless body design. as there's no tail-cap. Instead the head screws off exposing the battery compartment. I like this design as a light has less moving parts.
Under of the hot of this pint sized hot-rod sits and SST40 emitter. And in an effort to save space, Fenix utilized a TIR type optic. The result is a very floody light.
As for the other pertinents, let's take a look at the regulation and runtimes!
This is why this light ended up as my backup light, it has solid runtime, backs it up with power, in a small form.
The light features a very nice magnetic charger system.
The light features a very simple UI, as we'll go through on the beam-shot video.
And here's size comparison between the E30R, a Sofirn SP32A, and an Olight M2T Warrior.

One more pic, then on to the video!!!!

Summary:
Small, powerful, efficient! 3 words that sum this light up.
What could be done better? A different UI. Although I like it. Some didn't.
This light was a home run, well done, Fenix!
