Fenix CL22R 500 Lumen Compact Lantern | USB-C Rechargeable, Red Light & Ambient Modes

Compact power for outdoor nights

The Fenix CL22R packs a bright 500-lumen output into a pocket-friendly form, designed to illuminate campsites, trails, and docks with clarity. Its versatile lighting suite makes it a reliable companion for camping, hiking, and fishing—offering solid brightness without weighing you down.

With a smart blend of lantern, task light and color options, this compact light adapts to many moments outdoors. A combined rotary toggle and electronic switch provide quick access to 360-degree surrounding light, a downward task beam, two red light modes, and two ambient lighting moods. When you need hands-free visibility, you can also use it as a standard flashlight, making it a practical choice for varied outdoor routines.

Rechargeability is straightforward through USB-C, and a handy power indicator signals when it’s time to recharge. A high-capacity internal battery delivers long runtimes, so longer outings or multi-day trips become less about recharging and more about experiencing the outdoors. The CL22R weighs just 4.76 ounces, making it easy to pack, clip, or stash in a small pack or glove compartment before you head out.

Built to endure the outdoors, the lantern carries an IP65 waterproof rating and withstands impacts up to 1.5 meters. That combination of weather resistance and rugged construction helps it stay ready through rain showers, dusty campsites, and light drops—common realities of outdoor life. What you receive in the box reflects its practical focus: the CL22R lantern, a USB-C charging cable, a double snap hook for versatile hanging, and an Organizer to help keep your gear tidy.
