The 'Atelier' Rechargeable Lantern | Fenix CL28R 2000-Lumen Stepless Color-Adjust Field & Studio Lantern

The Experience

There is a category of light that transcends the lantern — one where output, color accuracy, and control converge into something genuinely useful not just for illuminating a campsite, but for the kind of precision work that demands light quality as much as light quantity. The Atelier is that lantern. At 2000 lumens of stepless maximum output across a 160-degree ultra-wide flood beam, the Fenix CL28R delivers more raw coverage than any lantern in its class — and pairs that output with stepless color temperature control from 2700K warm white to 6500K cool daylight, adjustable on the fly to match any environment, any task, any moment. Built-in dual 5000mAh batteries provide 10,000mAh of total capacity — enough to run The Atelier for up to 360 hours at low output, or charge a phone, speaker, or tablet via USB-A or USB-C output when power is needed elsewhere. Mount it magnetically, hang it from the 360-degree rotating handle, thread it onto a tripod, or set it on any surface. IP66 waterproof. 1.5-meter drop resistant. Red light and red flash for night vision preservation and emergency signaling. This is the lantern for the estate steward, the field photographer, and the serious outdoor professional who refuses to work in bad light.

Scientific Engineering

• 2000-Lumen Stepless Output: A single rotary dial adjusts output steplessly from 10 lumens to a full 2000 lumen maximum — no fixed modes, no brightness steps, no compromise between available output levels. Dial in precisely the light level required for any task from intimate ambient to full-site illumination.
• 160-Degree Ultra-Wide Flood Beam: The COB LED array produces a 160-degree flood beam that blankets the immediate environment with even, shadow-free light — eliminating the hot spots and dark zones common to directional lanterns and making The Atelier equally effective as a campsite lantern, a worksite light, and a photography fill source.
• Stepless Color Temperature Control: A second independent rotary dial adjusts the flood beam's color temperature steplessly from 2700K warm white through neutral white to 6500K cool daylight — a range that covers every lighting scenario from relaxed evening ambiance to crisp task illumination to photography-accurate color rendering.
• Built-In Dual 10,000mAh Battery System: Two integrated 5000mAh batteries provide a combined 10,000mAh of total capacity — the highest power bank capacity in the Fenix CL series — supporting up to 360 hours of runtime at low output and providing substantial USB device charging capability without depleting primary runtime reserves.
• Dual Power Bank Output: Both USB-A and USB-C discharging ports allow The Atelier to simultaneously charge multiple devices — phones, GPS units, cameras, speakers, tablets — directly from the built-in battery while continuing to operate as a light source.
• USB-C Rapid Recharge: Full recharge from depleted via USB-C in approximately 4 hours. A battery level indicator signals remaining capacity before recharge is required.
• Red Light Night Vision Preservation: Independent red light (9 lumens, 170 hours) and red flashing (9 lumens, 340 hours) modes are accessed via a dedicated red button — completely independent of the main white light controls — allowing the naturalist or nocturnal observer to transition instantly to night-vision-safe illumination without cycling through white light modes.
• 360-Degree Rotating Magnetic Handle: The lantern handle rotates a full 360 degrees and contains powerful neodymium magnets for instant hands-free attachment to any ferrous metal surface at any angle without additional hardware.
• Tripod Mount Socket: A standard ¼-inch tripod mounting socket on the rotating handle provides precision placement for photography, sustained observation, or worksite illumination requiring a fixed position.
• A6061-T6 Aircraft Aluminum Construction: The front housing is machined from A6061-T6 aluminum with HAIII hard-anodized finish for maximum thermal management and structural integrity — the same material specification used in precision aerospace and optical instrument manufacturing.
• IP66 Waterproof Rating: Full protection against powerful water jets from any direction — field-rated for rain, splash, and active outdoor use without compromise.
• 1.5-Meter Drop Resistance: Tested to withstand a 1.5-meter drop onto hard surfaces — the durability standard for serious field instruments expected to perform in uncontrolled environments.
• 50,000-Hour COB LED Lifespan: The COB LED array is rated to 50,000 hours of operational lifespan — a service life that outlasts most competitive lanterns by a significant margin.

Boutique & Conservation Values

• Photography-Grade Color Control: The stepless 2700K–6500K color temperature range makes The Atelier the only lantern in its class that can be calibrated to match natural light conditions for wildlife photography, estate documentation, or any application where color accuracy matters as much as illumination level.
• Nocturnal Observation Ready: Dedicated red light modes, stepless brightness control, and 360-hour maximum runtime position The Atelier as a capable companion for extended nocturnal wildlife observation sessions — where light quality and night vision preservation are as important as raw output.
• Dual Power Bank Capability: The 10,000mAh built-in battery and dual USB output ports make The Atelier a field power station as much as a lantern — keeping phones, GPS devices, cameras, and other field instruments charged during extended estate operations far from grid power.
• Fenix Limited Lifetime Warranty: Every Atelier is backed by Fenix's Limited Lifetime Warranty — 15-day replacement for manufacturing defects, 5-year free repair for normal use issues, and lifetime limited warranty coverage beyond that.
