    As an older Olight fan and advocate, I really wanted these Obulbs but they were out of stock. Then I picked up a LUX PRO LP1535 retro led lantern at a local shop and was extremely impressed. If you want a sturdy simple dimmable (5 to 265 lumens) light that is attractive, affordable, and very practical, then try the little LUX PRO. It uses AA batteries and runs continuously for nearly 3 weeks on low (warm ambient night light). Love it so much that I now have several (only $9.99 at Tractor Supply or $12.99 online).

    I remeber when the Pro came out and you couldnt access some of the features without the app. I liked using these while camping. In the tent and as a headlamp. I didnt want to mess around with my phone to change the settings.
    I'm not completely sold on the ProS. All though the soft white is perfectly fine, a daylight white would be nice for filming purposes. I also like quickly scrolling through 7 modes to green and red for at night so it wont destroy my night vision. Thank you for the in depth review.

      @JJ-ly3vy Рік тому

      I believe they sell a magnet hanger for the lights, but it either has a hook or a ring, not sure how you would connect it to the obulb. I have seen like an inexpensive 12" or so long silicone string(?) that had a cup on the bottom that for the obulb perfectly. but I didn't know they had different sizes of it until I watched this review. maybe they have one for the plus? I'm sure one could figure out how to attach it to a strong magnet, maybe a rare earth or neodymium magnet.

    • @cheule

    Look I'm Olight for LIFE but I wish they would have kept the motion option like what was on the MC. We still use our MC for a night light in our bathroom it sits on a MCA olight brick so it stays hot. When you walk in boom it gives you a little light but the new ones like the pro and the plus do not have this feature. I would love to have a little bit more light when I pee and putting the sensor mode on either one of these would have been a home run. I hope they put that feature back on new Obulb designs!!

    Maybe "better" than the Pro model,
    but changing the brightness using touch-control (without the app) is an absolute PITA:
    The ramp function kicks in way too fast, making it almost impossible to reach the desired brightness levels (except min/max, of course).
    It's also incredibly annoying that you can't really control whether the ramping should start going up - or down.
