The 'Supernova' Search & Field Flashlight | Fenix LR60R 21,000-Lumen Dual-Mode Rotary Searchlight with OLED Display

The Experience

21,000 lumens. 3,559 feet of beam reach. Thirteen Luminus LEDs driven by a proprietary 14.4V battery pack equivalent to four 21700 cells. An OLED smart display that shows output level, remaining runtime, and battery percentage in real time. A mechanical rotary switch that activates instantly and cycles between ten modes without fumbling through electronic menus. Two completely independent optical systems — a long-range spotlight that reaches nearly three-quarters of a mile, and a wide-area floodlight that saturates the immediate environment with up to 15,000 lumens of coverage. A detachable metal handle with an integrated tripod socket. A shoulder strap for extended carry. A 90-minute full recharge via USB-C. And a power bank function that charges phones and field devices from the same battery that just lit up a property boundary a thousand meters away.

The Supernova is the Fenix LR60R — Fenix's brightest handheld instrument, and one of the highest-output portable flashlights available at any price point. It is not a flashlight for the timid or the casual. It is a precision field instrument for the serious estate steward, the wildlife survey professional, and the outdoor operator who needs to illuminate terrain, property boundaries, and field environments at distances that no conventional flashlight can approach. When the situation demands that you see everything — The Supernova obliges.

Scientific Engineering

• 21,000-Lumen Combined Maximum Output: Thirteen independent Luminus LEDs — one Luminus SFT70 primary spotlight LED and twelve Luminus SST40 floodlight LEDs — operate simultaneously in Turbo mode to produce a combined maximum output of 21,000 lumens with a peak beam intensity of 294,267 candela. Each LED is rated to 50,000 hours of operational lifespan.
• Dual-Mode Optical Architecture:
  • Search Mode (Spotlight): The Luminus SFT70 primary LED drives a focused long-range beam reaching 3,559 feet — suitable for property boundary scanning, terrain navigation, and wildlife observation at distances beyond the capability of any conventional handheld flashlight.
  • Camp Mode (Floodlight): Twelve Luminus SST40 LEDs produce a wide-angle area floodlight reaching up to 15,000 lumens — saturating the immediate environment with even, high-intensity coverage for large-area field station illumination, campsite lighting, and close-range property work.
• Complete Output & Runtime Reference:
  
  
  • Turbo (Spot + Flood): 21,000 lumens / 1.8 hrs / 3,559 ft.
  • Spot High: 3,000 lumens / 3.75 hrs / 3,281 ft.
  • Spot Med: 1,000 lumens / 10.6 hrs / 1,991 ft.
  • Spot Low: 300 lumens / 24.3 hrs / 1,083 ft.
  • Spot Eco: 50 lumens / 113 hrs / 433 ft.
  • Flood Turbo: 15,000 lumens / 2.1 hrs / 1,155 ft.
  • Flood High: 6,000 lumens / 3 hrs / 715 ft.
  • Flood Med: 2,000 lumens / 5.4 hrs / 413 ft.
  • Strobe: 9,000 lumens (Spot + Flood)
  • SOS: 300 lumens (Spot)
    
    
• Mechanical Rotary Switch: A precision mechanical rotary switch — rather than an electronic pushbutton — provides immediate, tactile mode selection without the delay or accidental activation risk of electronic interfaces. Rotate clockwise for Search Mode spotlight levels, counterclockwise for Camp Mode floodlight and signaling modes.
• OLED Smart Display: An integrated OLED screen displays current output mode, remaining runtime in the active mode, and remaining battery percentage in real time — giving the operator complete situational awareness of instrument status without estimation or guesswork.
• Proprietary 14.4V Battery Architecture: The included Fenix ARB-L56-4000 battery pack provides the equivalent power of four 21700 cells in a single integrated unit — delivering the sustained high-current output required to drive 13 Luminus LEDs simultaneously at maximum output. No other battery type is compatible.
• 90-Minute USB-C Rapid Recharge: The fastest recharge in the Fenix lineup — full charge from depleted in approximately 90 minutes at 45W maximum input via the USB-C port.
• Dual Power Bank Output: Both USB-C and USB-A discharging ports allow The Supernova to charge phones, GPS units, cameras, and other field devices directly from the battery — a meaningful field capability when the instrument transitions from illumination tool to emergency power source.
• Intelligent Proximity Downshift: An automatic sensor detects when the flashlight head is in close proximity to a surface and reduces output to prevent heat buildup — protecting the LED array and battery during sustained operation in confined or reflective environments.
• Detachable Metal Handle with Tripod Socket: The removable metal handle provides a comfortable grip for extended handheld carry and integrates a standard tripod mounting socket for precision placement on any standard tripod — enabling completely stationary hands-free illumination for sustained field station use.
• Shoulder Strap: An included shoulder strap provides comfortable extended carry during property surveys, wildlife observation sessions, and any application requiring sustained one-handed field operation.
• IP68 Waterproof & Dustproof: Submersible to 2 meters for 30 minutes — full protection against rain, submersion, and active outdoor use in demanding field conditions.
• 1-Meter Drop Resistance: Drop-tested from 1 meter onto hard surfaces without damage.
• Operating Temperature Range: -35°F to 113°F (-37°C to 45°C) — functional across the full range of field conditions encountered in North American estate and wildlife environments.

Boutique & Conservation Values

• Property-Scale Illumination: At 3,559 feet of beam reach, The Supernova illuminates property boundaries, access roads, field margins, and wildlife corridors at distances no conventional handheld flashlight can approach — giving the serious estate steward complete after-dark visual command of their property from a single position.
• Wildlife Survey Capability: The combination of long-range spotlight reach and high-output wide-area flood coverage makes The Supernova a capable instrument for nocturnal wildlife surveys — scanning distant habitat edges with the spotlight, then transitioning to floodlight for close-range identification and documentation.
• OLED Field Intelligence: Real-time output, runtime, and battery display eliminates the guesswork that conventional flashlights require — giving the field professional complete awareness of instrument status before committing to a position or operation that depends on sustained illumination.
• Fenix Limited Lifetime Warranty: Every Supernova 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.
