How to Tie Your Lanyard to a Fenix Flashlight

A lanyard prevents your flashlight from slipping out of your hand and stops it from rolling on flat surfaces. We recommend using one. All you need is a thin filament or flexible wire to thread the lanyard through the attachment point on your flashlight's tailcap.

Step 3 — Attach the lanyard loop

Hook the filament through the small loop at the end of the lanyard cord.

Step 4 — Pull through

Gently pull the filament back through the tailcap hole, drawing the lanyard cord with it.

Step 5 — Thread the lanyard body

Feed the main lanyard strap through the loop that is now visible on the other side.

Step 6 — Pull snug

Pull the lanyard strap all the way through until the knot sits tight against the tailcap.

Step 7 — Check the attachment

Verify the lanyard is securely looped through the tailcap hole.

Step 8 — Confirm from the other side

Check the other end to make sure the loop is seated properly and the cord is not twisted.
