- Why Bulletproof Zone?
The Fenix CL28R is a rechargeable area lantern built for camp and worksite use, producing up to 2,000 lumens of white light across a 160-degree spread with a reach of up to 190 feet. A color-temperature dial lets users shift between cool and warm white output. The lantern ships in one configuration and weighs 0.8 lb.
Adjustable Color Temperature
The CL28R's color dial shifts the white LED output across a range from cool to warm color temperatures. Cooler light renders fine detail and contrast clearly for task work; warmer light reduces eye fatigue during extended use and produces more accurate color rendering in low-light photography. Turning the dial is the only adjustment needed, with no mode cycling required to change the tone of the light.
Red LED for Night Vision
A dedicated red LED on the CL28R is independently accessible, separate from the main white output. Red light does not suppress the eye's dark adaptation the way white light does, making it useful for map reading, moving around a campsite, or any task where preserving night vision matters. Switching to red does not interrupt or reset the white-light setting.
Hands-Free Mounting and Power Bank Function
The CL28R includes a magnetic base that attaches to steel surfaces (vehicle panels, tool chests, or metal tent poles) without additional hardware. A standard tripod mount provides a second hands-free option on any compatible tripod or camera mount. The built-in batteries charge via USB-C and the lantern can also output power to charge other USB devices, functioning as a portable power bank when a wall outlet is not available.

Who This Is For and Isn't
The CL28R suits campers, overlanders, and worksite users who need broad-area illumination with adjustable color temperature, particularly those doing night photography or color-sensitive work in low light, or anyone who regularly needs to preserve night vision using the red LED. The magnetic base and tripod mount make it well suited to hands-free setups on vehicles or at a fixed station.
The CL28R is not a directional flashlight or headlamp. It is an area lantern and does not produce a focused throw beam. Battery runtime at each output level and water or dust resistance ratings are not stated in the available product data; buyers with specific runtime or weather-resistance requirements should confirm those specs before purchase.
Common Questions
What is the maximum light output of the Fenix CL28R?
The Fenix CL28R produces a maximum of 2,000 lumens of white light, covering a 160-degree area with a reach of up to 190 feet. Runtime at maximum or reduced output levels is not stated in the available product data.
How does the color temperature dial work?
The CL28R includes a physical color dial that shifts the white LED output between cool and warm color temperatures. Rotating the dial adjusts the tone continuously. The exact Kelvin range of the adjustment is not stated in the available product data.
Can the Fenix CL28R charge other devices?
Yes. The CL28R's built-in battery can output power to charge other USB devices, functioning as a portable power bank. The lantern's own batteries are recharged via its USB-C port. Battery capacity in mAh and charge-out wattage are not stated in the available product data.
What mounting options does the CL28R include?
The Fenix CL28R includes two built-in mounting options: a magnetic base for attachment to steel surfaces, and a tripod mount compatible with standard tripods or camera mounts. No additional hardware is required for either option.
What is the red LED used for on the CL28R?
The CL28R includes a separate red LED that is independently accessible from the main white output. Red light does not suppress dark adaptation the way white light does, making the Fenix CL28R's red mode useful for tasks where preserving night vision is a priority, such as navigating at night or reading a map.

The Bulletproof Zone Promise
When you buy body armor, you're buying your safety. We don't take that lightly. Here's what every order from Bulletproof Zone includes.
1. Authorized dealer of every brand we carry
Every plate, vest, and carrier we ship comes from the manufacturer directly to our warehouse. We don't sell gray-market product, surplus, or returns. That means factory-fresh stock, the full manufacturer warranty, and real after-sale support — the kind only an authorized dealer can offer.
We maintain authorized-dealer relationships with America's leading body armor brands, including Spartan Armor Systems, AR500 Armor, RMA Defense, Shellback Tactical, Caliber Armor, DFNDR Armor, Protection Group Denmark, BulletSafe, BulletBlocker, and over 40 more.
2. Best price, guaranteed
If you find a lower price at another authorized dealer of the same product within six months of your purchase, we'll refund the difference.
Why the "authorized dealer" requirement? Because gray-market and surplus armor may not be genuine, may have a compromised supply chain, and almost never comes with a manufacturer warranty. We won't price-match against products that may not actually protect you.
3. Free fitment consultation
Body armor only protects you if it fits. Email us a photo and your measurements before you order, and one of our specialists will help you size your carrier and plates correctly — at no charge, no obligation.
4. Trusted by thousands of customers
Bulletproof Zone has been a trusted authorized dealer of America's leading body armor manufacturers for over five years. We have over 4,000 verified Trustpilot reviews from real customers across all 50 states.
Price Match Guarantee — Terms
- You must have purchased the item from our website before requesting the price match.
- Discounted items and "free with purchase" items are not eligible.
- The item must be in stock on the competitor's website at the time of your request.
- The price match is valid for six months from the date of your purchase.
- The competitor must be an authorized dealer of the product. Auction sites (eBay, Overstock), discounters, and gray-market resellers do not qualify.
- The competitor must operate an online store. Brick-and-mortar-only retailers do not qualify.
- Price match applies to the item price plus shipping. Sales tax is excluded.
To request a price match, email us a link to the product on our site and the same product on the competitor's site within six months of purchase. We'll process the refund.
