While not as impossible to open as some packages, getting to it will take a little work.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you open it, you\u2019ll have the flashlight, an <strong>AAA battery,<\/strong> a small key ring, an extra o-ring, simple instructions in multiple languages, an advertisement for other products, and a <strong>warranty offer.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Set everything but the flashlight and battery to the side for now. Screw the top off the flashlight and place the battery inside, negative pole down. Now, screw the top back on but not all the way, or you\u2019ll turn the light on: more on that later. Finally, take the keyring and carefully slide it onto the hook on the bottom end of the flashlight. This might take a little finagling, but it is fairly easy once you get the hang of it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your flashlight is now basically ready to use. This <strong>simple assembly <\/strong>is one of the big things I love about this light. While flashlights rarely require a lot of excessive assembly, the ease at which this came together was nice. Honestly, I spent more time opening the package to get it out than I did putting it together.

After all, you simply tighten the top fully to turn it on and loosen it to turn it off. Frankly, I don\u2019t like that because I think it would be too easy for someone to loosen or tighten it too much. I also worry about the <strong>threads getting worn<\/strong> out with time, though the E01 V2.0 held up fine under my rigorous testing.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, what confused me was <strong>how to change the brightness<\/strong> of the light. It comes with <strong>three levels, <\/strong>which can greatly affect how long your battery lasts (more on that later). When I got it on, it seemed decently bright but <strong>not 100 lumens.<\/strong> But I couldn\u2019t get it any brighter. Finally, I read the instructions and found that you had to turn the light on and off quickly (within one second) to change the brightness!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Frustrated, I tried this odd control method and found it worked surprisingly well. Once you got the hang of it, you could cycle through the different brightness levels quickly and accurately. So, they get points for executing this odd idea well. However, it\u2019s more of a compromise than an informed engineering decision. It undoubtedly helps streamline the production costs and size of the flashlight but makes it <strong>less user-friendly. <\/strong>Kids will struggle with it.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<style>.kb-row-layout-id13747_12b310-75 > .kt-row-column-wrap{align-content:start;}:where(.kb-row-layout-id13747_12b310-75 > .kt-row-column-wrap) > .wp-block-kadence-column{justify-content:start;}.kb-row-layout-id13747_12b310-75 > .kt-row-column-wrap{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem);row-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem);max-width:var( --global-content-width, 1290px );padding-left:var(--global-content-edge-padding);padding-right:var(--global-content-edge-padding);padding-top:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);padding-bottom:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}.kb-row-layout-id13747_12b310-75 > .kt-row-layout-overlay{opacity:0.30;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kb-row-layout-id13747_12b310-75 > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kb-row-layout-id13747_12b310-75 > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}}<\/style><div class=\"kb-row-layout-wrap kb-row-layout-id13747_12b310-75 alignnone wp-block-kadence-rowlayout\"><div class=\"kt-row-column-wrap kt-has-1-columns kt-row-layout-equal kt-tab-layout-inherit kt-mobile-layout-row kt-row-valign-top kb-theme-content-width\">\n<style>.kadence-column13747_c314c9-6e > .kt-inside-inner-col,.kadence-column13747_c314c9-6e > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{border-top-left-radius:0px;border-top-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-left-radius:0px;}.kadence-column13747_c314c9-6e > .kt-inside-inner-col{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-sm, 1rem);}.kadence-column13747_c314c9-6e > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}.kadence-column13747_c314c9-6e > .kt-inside-inner-col > .aligncenter{width:100%;}.kadence-column13747_c314c9-6e > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{opacity:0.3;}.kadence-column13747_c314c9-6e{position:relative;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kadence-column13747_c314c9-6e > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kadence-column13747_c314c9-6e > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-column kadence-column13747_c314c9-6e\"><div class=\"kt-inside-inner-col\"><div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/techwriteredc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/fenix-E01-v2-flashlight-performance.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-13756\" srcset=\"https:\/\/techwriteredc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/fenix-E01-v2-flashlight-performance.jpg 900w, https:\/\/techwriteredc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/fenix-E01-v2-flashlight-performance-600x450.jpg 600w, https:\/\/techwriteredc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/fenix-E01-v2-flashlight-performance-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/techwriteredc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/fenix-E01-v2-flashlight-performance-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/techwriteredc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/fenix-E01-v2-flashlight-performance-500x375.jpg 500w, https:\/\/techwriteredc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/fenix-E01-v2-flashlight-performance-800x600.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Body<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Fenix gets points for using <strong>heavy-duty aluminum alloy <\/strong>with a strong<strong> HAIII hard-adonized finish<\/strong> for this flashlight.

So far, though, it sat comfortably in my pocket and got plenty of use without feeling weak or flimsy.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<style>.kb-row-layout-id13747_77ef17-7d > .kt-row-column-wrap{align-content:start;}:where(.kb-row-layout-id13747_77ef17-7d > .kt-row-column-wrap) > .wp-block-kadence-column{justify-content:start;}.kb-row-layout-id13747_77ef17-7d > .kt-row-column-wrap{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem);row-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem);max-width:var( --global-content-width, 1290px );padding-left:var(--global-content-edge-padding);padding-right:var(--global-content-edge-padding);padding-top:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);padding-bottom:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}.kb-row-layout-id13747_77ef17-7d > .kt-row-layout-overlay{opacity:0.30;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kb-row-layout-id13747_77ef17-7d > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kb-row-layout-id13747_77ef17-7d > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}}<\/style><div class=\"kb-row-layout-wrap kb-row-layout-id13747_77ef17-7d alignnone wp-block-kadence-rowlayout\"><div class=\"kt-row-column-wrap kt-has-1-columns kt-row-layout-equal kt-tab-layout-inherit kt-mobile-layout-row kt-row-valign-top kb-theme-content-width\">\n<style>.kadence-column13747_23cd27-9f > .kt-inside-inner-col,.kadence-column13747_23cd27-9f > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{border-top-left-radius:0px;border-top-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-left-radius:0px;}.kadence-column13747_23cd27-9f > .kt-inside-inner-col{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-sm, 1rem);}.kadence-column13747_23cd27-9f > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}.kadence-column13747_23cd27-9f > .kt-inside-inner-col > .aligncenter{width:100%;}.kadence-column13747_23cd27-9f > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{opacity:0.3;}.kadence-column13747_23cd27-9f{position:relative;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kadence-column13747_23cd27-9f > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kadence-column13747_23cd27-9f > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-column kadence-column13747_23cd27-9f\"><div class=\"kt-inside-inner-col\"><div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/techwriteredc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/fenix-E01-v2-100-lumen-flashlight-price.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-13758\" srcset=\"https:\/\/techwriteredc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/fenix-E01-v2-100-lumen-flashlight-price.jpg 900w, https:\/\/techwriteredc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/fenix-E01-v2-100-lumen-flashlight-price-600x450.jpg 600w, https:\/\/techwriteredc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/fenix-E01-v2-100-lumen-flashlight-price-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/techwriteredc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/fenix-E01-v2-100-lumen-flashlight-price-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/techwriteredc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/fenix-E01-v2-100-lumen-flashlight-price-500x375.jpg 500w, https:\/\/techwriteredc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/fenix-E01-v2-100-lumen-flashlight-price-800x600.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Performance<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Fenix E01 V2.0 uses a Cree XP-G2 S3 LED light with TIR lens and reflectors.
