High Lumen Flashlight - The Klarus G35

Klarus has really been delivering all kinds of LED flashlights that pack a punch! From their tactical flashlights featuring programmable settings like the XT11GT and XT12GT to their two most recent searchlights, the XT30R and the G35, Klarus creates flashlights that are more than your average illumination tool. Today we’ll be looking at this high lumen flashlight that Klarus most recently released, the G35.

The Klarus G35 is a high-quality military grade flashlight that makes it one of the toughest and brightest lights on the market. It delivers 2000 lumens of pure blinding power with a wonderful spill that allows you to see the area around you. Even with the spill, the G35 has a very focused beam that allows you to spot targets far in the distance. Be ready to hold onto your hat (if you’re wearing one, that is,) because this high lumen flashlight can reach as far as 1000 meters! That’s further than the human eye can actually see. You may wonder why you would want a flashlight to reach that far when you can’t even see that far. Well, you may not be able to see the entire reach of the flashlight, but what you can see will be illuminated more brightly than with a flashlight that reaches the same target but doesn’t have as long of a throw.

Amazing Features of this High Lumen Flashlight

Now that you are already intrigued by the G35 and what it has to offer in terms of power, it’s time to look at the interface. You can operate the G35 using one of two switches, the tail switch or the side switch. These switches work completely independently so you can choose which switch you prefer using at the time. Some user prefer a side switch for a flashlight this size, but others prefer that tail switch allowing them to use it as a tactical flashlight. Klarus gives you the option to choose which switch you want to use, giving the G35 more versatility than many in lights on the market today. Not to mention it has a lockout function for both switches so you can be sure that the flashlight won’t turn on in your bag and waste battery life.

What else does the G35 torch light have to offer? So much more! It features four brightness levels with a built-in memory function so it will remember the last brightness level you had it on. With a high lumen flashlight like the G35, you’ll really appreciate the built-in memory feature so you don’t blind yourself or your companions in close quarters. You can also take advantage of the One-Touch Turbo and One-Touch Low, two essential features to have in any outdoor flashlight. Along with the brightness levels, the G35 has an SOS mode and a strobe mode in case of emergencies. Many flashlight enthusiasts argue about which flashing mode is the better one to have, SOS or strobe? Klarus says “Why choose? Have them both!” That’s the right attitude to have! With both as an option you can be prepared for any worst case scenario.

The G35 runs on three 18650 lithium-ion batteries and the amount of power along with the runtimes of the light make these batteries necessary. One of the positive aspects of having a light that uses multiple batteries is that the flashlight will usually have longer runtimes. In the Turbo mode the G35 can last up to 3 hours which is most likely way longer than you need to use the Turbo mode for! In the lowest brightness mode the G35 can last up to 210 hours. In case you were wondering, that’s over 8 days. While it may be obnoxious to have to charge the three batteries or replace them, the light more than makes up for it with the long run times.

Let’s say that it’s an emergency and you have only one 18650 on you or maybe only two CR123 batteries on you. The good news is that you can still use the G35! If you open the tail cap you’ll see a red line right down one of the battery slots. Simply insert your single 18650 or your two CR123 batteries and viola! You can use the G35! This high lumen flashlight also has a few safety features to protect itself as well as the batteries. When you first insert any batteries and turn the G35 onto the Turbo mode the flashlight will detect if the batteries can support the flashlight’s full power and, if the batteries aren’t able to, the Turbo mode will automatically decrease thus ensuring that there is no damage. Another awesome feature involving the batteries is the battery power indicator that lets you know the charge of the battery! With this feature you can plan your usage a bit and know when it’s time to charge or change the batteries.

As with any military grade flashlight, the G35 is durable and can stand what mother nature dishes out. In fact, if you check out this Youtube video from Gear Nut you can see the G35 being pelted with rain and the G35 essentially not caring. Along with being a high lumen flashlight, it’s also extremely durable. Constructed from aircraft grade anodized aluminum, you should expect nothing less. It’s impact resistant up to 1 meter and waterproof up to IPX8 standards. This flashlight is built for the extreme!

Now you know the Klarus G35 is so much more than a high lumen flashlight. It’s packed to brim with features which is beyond impressive considering it’s compact enough to fit easily into your hands. It may be difficult to believe, but the G35 is a little over 6 inches in length! It’ll fit perfectly in any camping or hunting bag.
