4. The C7 Pro has a broader beam with 180 candela, compared to the v2.0’s 527 candela at 30 lumens, due to different LED configurations.
5. The expected launch is in April-May, with prices around €80 for the C7 v2.0 and €90 for the C7 Pro.
Over the coming months, Fenix plans to introduce two new flashlights that emphasize toughness and are designed for both home and industrial applications. The C7 v2.0 and C7 Pro are relatively large and tough flashlights that run on a 21700 battery. While many technical specifics are not yet available, Fenix has already presented these new devices at the IWA 2026 event.
Charging Features
Both models can be charged using a USB-C connection. The charging port is sealed against water, so it does not necessarily require a cover. According to Acebeam, the C7 Pro can be charged at a rate of 3 amps, which is the maximum allowed by USB-C without Power Delivery, corresponding to 15 watts. For flashlights of this size, that’s considered quite high. Details on the charging specifications for the Fenix C7 v2.0 are still to be confirmed.
Output Differences
There are also some variances in output between the two models. Currently, it is known that the Fenix C7 Pro can produce 4,600 lumens, whereas the C7 v2.0 can reach up to 3,200 lumens. This means that the Pro version will have shorter runtimes, lasting at least 1.5 hours, while the smaller Fenix C7 v2.0 lasts about 2.5 hours.
The C7 Pro flashlight features a slightly broader beam. At 30 lumens, it has a measurement of 180 candela. In comparison, the v2.0 achieves 527 candela at the same 30 lumens due to the different optical designs. The C7 Pro utilizes four LEDs, while the v2.0 operates with a single LED. Both models include a strong magnetic tailcap for easy mounting.
Expected Launch and Pricing
Fenix anticipates releasing these flashlights in around three months, roughly between April and May. The expected pricing is about €80 for the C7 v2.0 and around €90 for the C7 Pro. Specific prices for the U.S. market have yet to be disclosed.
