I ordered a 3S last Friday just for the awesome colors of it: DreamBlue&Golden. Or as Amazon Italy calls it: Elf! I hope ill have the courage to take it outside! It toke me a few days to bring outside another gorgeous light, a White Seeker4Pro. Olight's anodization is pretty weak.
For me the Olight warrior 3s is the winner: OLIGHT: - Instant access to turbo from anywhere - From off I can access 4 modes: moonlight, low (memory), medium and turbo NITECORE: - No turbo from anywhere (no panic-turbo) - Can only turn the light on from the back - change grip to access different brightness - Can only access 2 modes from off: moonlight and memory Other than that I think they are even, and fantastic lights both of them!
With olight you must edc a fuc.....ing cable, olight ONLY has 800 lumens and chanrges for 120 dolars. Price, body and weight of an 21700 flashligh, light output of an keychain light... SOOOOO disapointing opening the new warrior 3s box, charge to max, and seeing the 2300 lumens not avaliable after 5 min of usage, total gimmick, returned the other day, the main selling point is a lie. No way a light advertised as 2300 lumens, just outputs it from 100% to 80%. For me this should be a crime, total false advertising.
@@kurogana01 I do agree with you on that point, it is insane that turbo is only available when the light is fully charged with 4 dots! - Do you prefer the nitecore mh12pro instead of the 3s or do you have other recommendations in this category of EDC/tactical?
@@eirikrafnhansen9746 the light I tested and I use, that delivers what it claims is the p20ix/p10ix. It has all modes, even turbo, in all battary states. O tested and it does turbo 4000 lumens even at 10% battery

Hi mate Love all your videos in terms of how to use the torches (I'm a pom!) for self defence and the testing- esp how you got your partner to shine the different models in your face to see how effective they were/ease of access to turbo/one tail switch. But now you have reviewed so many lights I'm struggling to know how you would rank them currently?? Olight Warrior X$/Weltool T8 plus Pro/Nitecore Mh12 Pro etc. i think they all have the single tail switch access to turbo/momentary switch so how would they compare with the car park test in the eyes do you think?? Keep up the good work!!
Hey mate, In a few weeks, once I have moved house I am going to do a video on the current lights i use. Because they are always changing depending on circumstance and new lights coming out. But I will do a video on what i use for self-defence, Everyday use, in-home, bedside, in-car ect. So hopefully that will help
@flashlightcrazy Yep - that will be super helpful - as a way of bringing all the recent videos to a conclusion. All the best for the move in the meantime!
I suppose that mh12pro will reduce brightness much earlier from its high-mode (1200lum), than 3s from its (800lum) - stabilization on highs better on 3s. For me its a deal breaker
the Nitecore MH12 doesn't make any sense, what's even the point of having strobe if activating it takes several button presses? The new Nitecore models EDC33 / EDC35 do everything better and also remember Moonlight mode
I EDC a Warrior3 and have been looking to get away from it. (Proprietary charger is annoying, but it also cant be fixed by putting in a ported battery because it uses a proprietary battery!!) I guess this Nitecore didnt solve the issue for me. So close.
Hello. Im new to this. What do you mwan by proprietary batteries? Its not widley used batteries that one can get and one can only get them from the respective manufacturers?
I just put an order in for the nitcore. Arrives next week. I like throwers, even though, honestly I really dont need it. But when is need any fun? Throwers feel like a lightsaber... so...yeh.. 🤣
We think alike, give me candela with reasonable throw. In my life, I need candela. I don't even carry my Olight WM3 anymore, not enough candela. Weltool gives candela and even in their turbo mode they don't get that hot. Still, the lights you've shown, are outstanding lights that do a lot more than Weltool. It's all what a person wants and needs.
A light with greater candela or a throwier light is more efficient than a floodier light every time cause you can run that sucker in medium and you'll still get the amount of light you need on a specific spot without getting the light hot and draining the battery by utilizing higher outputs. Now the amount of how large of a hotspot one needs is a personal thing and you have to experiment with lots of differents lights to get the exact size hotspot that will fit your needs. But the secret that only a flashaholic will know is that a relatively throwy light is just way more efficient than something with multiple emitters or something floodier. It also helps to see a lot better in the fog with a throwy hotspot + keeping the light as far away from your line of sight. Some of my favourites would be for example some 14500 pocket rockets like a convoy t2 with the w1 emitter or even the Lumintop fw1aa. 700-900 lumens but these lights touch the 400-500m mark as far as candela goes. And the same goes if you utilise the beast of a led the SBT90.2 which isnt as efficient but if you combine it with the right host like a 35mm head diameter light like the Emisar D1 and you run that at 50% output you got yourself an amazingly bright and efficient combo of a beam with just the right size of a hotspot to be a great edc as well
@@zampination "Now the amount of how large of a hotspot one needs is a personal thing" So true. Typically, I don't need a lot of angle of view with just about all of it the same brightness; I need a decent amount of angle only but what I'm actually focusing on, I want a light that varies in candela from low to high candela. Often too much candela is blinding, but also often, much candela is needed. Out of all the lights I have, I carry the Weltool T8 Plus certainly most the time. It's about as perfect as they come for me.
To much pride for traditional/standard "type-c" charging port. Grow up people, learn to accept new innovation for technical convenience. By the way, USB Type-C contacts wears out over time, and difficult to clean the inner contacts. Moist or water gets in, then soon an electrochemical corrosion will build up causing poor contacts or loose connection. You won't really notice every time you charge your type-c devices a voltage drop occurs, causing poor charging. Believe me, I'm not against USB Type-C, because all my rechargeable flashlights are Type-Cs, including my mobile phones, BT speakers and MacBook. I'm only against micro USB which is I still have few. Anyway, I'm still yet to buy Olight with magnetic charging port.😊
Nitecore’s UI just doesn’t make sense to me. If you urgently need the strobe, you have to switch on the light with one button and then do a long press on the other… Really? I prefer having the possibility to shoot the strobe immediately with one single press. And I also prefer switching on my light on moonlight without lighting everything around me first. Bottom line, the Nitecore could be nice but that UI really s*cks.
You must not be familiar with NITECORE's line up, I'll help you out, the MH series stands for multi task hybrid, these lights are in between fully tactical and a reg light, that's why they offer a side switch and a rear, now if u want strobe ready you have to go to their P series lights, it stands for "precise" these are the lights that are made for a specific purpose, so if u want strobe ready get the p10i, p10ix, p20ix or the p23i, you have to understand the tool your buying and using, u can't blame the tool for user ignorance
@@Lee-lb9qh Alternatively, I can buy another brand with an UI that makes more sense to me. With the Olight Warrior series, I can switch on the light on moonlight and also have direct access to the strobe from the tail switch. Obviously, manufacturers cannot please everyone but having to switch on the light on whatever was the last mode used is a deal breaker for me. No I don’t want to switch on the light on hight next to my wife sleeping! Even my old MH20 is capable of switching on on either moonlight, turbo, or last used with one single button. Was it really necessary to make it more complicated with the addition of a tail switch?
@@yom73 also I'm not trying to convince you to buy one or the other I don't care I was just laying out some simple facts about how nitecore does things
J'ai une m2 r pro warrior olight depuis 4 ans. J'en suis totalement satisfait. L'interface est très intuitif. Les interrupteurs sont parfaitement silencieux. L'interrupteur arrière est constamment en mode tactique très logique et très pratique. Je peux allumer ma lumière par 1 lumen avec un appui long ou en mode mémoire par un rapide appui. Pas de port usb recouvert par un capuchon. Le mode propriétaire ne me gêne pas du tout, la batterie tient très bien la charge et se recharge très bien. Le câble magnétique est très pratique. Je le branche sur mon chargeur Huawei 40 watt et ça charge sans aucun problème. L'étui est d'excellente qualité. Le port en poche (quotidien)) est très efficace. J'adore cette lampe. J'aimerais la même avec plus de puissance et un mode balise. Cette nitecore n'est pas assez tactique à mon goût. Votre vidéo est très intéressante et vos réflexions très pertinentes et utiles .👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻. Je viens de m'abonner.
Some people using these lights for certain situations would feel that the audible click of the tail switch is a negative feature. For me, I think I'd go with the Nitecore, largely based on the beam it throws, I do wish more companies would come out with something similar to Olight's magnetic charging, beyond the convenience factor, it really eliminates a weak point for water and debris ingress, and a wear point if the light is in heavy use and regularly getting recharged.
@@bashfullJ88 I found them! and I was so excited as I thought I had found a viable option, but they don't make a tail switch light that also has magnetic charging, that aside they look like they make great lights, I hope to see them release a tail switch, that also has the mag charging at some point, when they do I will most likely get it if it EDC sized,
Cables also degrade, and actually degrade faster than the port itself, probably due to stress due to bending. USB type C is easier to replace, it's everywhere. Olight proprietary Magnetic cables cost around $10-$15 each. Also, different magnetic cables for different Olight devices. I wouldn't want that.
@@The_Crazy_Monkey75, Yeah? I've had plenty of USB, Micro USB, & Type C cables fail, I've bought 2 Olight magnetic charging cables, both have to be at least 7-8 years old, amd they are fully functional, as are the flashlights. They worked so well that I've since switched my smart phones to magnetic chargers, the only downside with the phones is they do charge slower, but at least I don't wear out the female inlet on phone as I have in the past, which rendered a $600 phone useless.
Most of the time in a tactical light you want the majority of your light in the hot spot for signaling further as well as your strobe is much more effective the more focused the light is.
At about 14:30 I wish you would’ve shown a chart with all those numbers so I could’ve kept up and understood much better. I almost grabbed a pen n paper lol
Great comparison! I know for me the light without that silly usb charging port is the clear winner regardless. I have a ton with that usb cover and nearly 100% of the time I’m fumbling for the power button in the dark, often mistaking the damn usb cover.
I really don’t like memorized settings. I was going to write off the nitecore based on that first mode setting. Nice that you can change UI based on preference this would really make it a contender. I can see how someone would say it’s too complicated. It’s not that complicated at all. I love how everyone seems to be jumping on board a ui that allows for direct access to 1 lumen to cycle up and also direct access to turbo. I will never buy another light without that capability. Fenix, streamlight and everyone else needs to figure this out.
Nitecore 3300lm turbo 30min runtime with an asterisk? What does that mean?? Olight 2300lm turbo for 2.5min? Then it requires the battery to be topped-off before it will go into turbo again? So essentially you get a green tint 21700 light at 800lm for 166min runtime plus 2.5min of turbo? Both of these lights suck! I have a 10 year old Eagtac D25LC2 Tactical that puts out 1374 (steps down to 1100) lumens for 1.5hr that is smaller & outperforms both of these lights.. A light that only holds max. output for a few seconds is marketing, not performance..!
lets be honest, warrior 3s is a big gimmick 800 lumens flashlight. I had one and returned the same day. 2300 lumens is ONLY from 100%(full charge) to 80%(yet full), from 80% and down, it does not have 2300 lumens avaliable, max output 800 lumens, and 180m throw. 120 dolars for this shit... total lie... my p20ix from the other side can throw full power even with 10% battery left. The true is, buying an olight you waste your money on everything, blinking dots, dials, sensors, beauty, the only thing you do not get is what they advertise, light... warrior 3s is a gimmick, dont waste your money, any flashlight today throws 1000 lumens, but warrior 3s is a big, heavy, thick, complicated, proprietary cable, expensive, tail cap button hard to press, and pathetic performance, even lights from 4 years ago outperforms it in light terms
Olight is a toy. I never considered them to be real work lights or tactical. They are too gimmicky to be usable. In an emergency situation you dont have time to play lets remember the sequence of my light. You need fast access to hugh lumens and sometimes throw. They claim high lumens but they never deliver. Last the magnet priority charger is a huge no go. You don't need to carry special chargers anymore usb type c is the standard. No more extra gimmicks to charge a light should ever be needed.
They both look like toys to me. The only thing that matters is the amount of light a flashlight casts, and there's nothing unusual about either one in that regards. What we have here is only a waste of money times two.
@@flashlightcrazy exactly brother! I think this is why I prefer 2.5 min of turbo vs nitecores aggressive and necessary step down on 30 seconds to 1,200 lumens. Even so… the nitecore at its lowered mode has more candela than the Olight. So this is a hard decision too because I’ve heard from other flashlight enthusiasts you only get a number of times on turbo with the Olight warrior 3S and then and after 70% battery you can’t activate it anymore?? I don’t know what to believe but I still may get the Olight for its efficiency of TIR optic and lower mode total runtimes. What do you think ?
I've carried an olight for years and love them. I'm willing to try nitecores but I hate nitecores pocket clip. They need to include a deep carry clip
I ordered a 3S last Friday just for the awesome colors of it: DreamBlue&Golden. Or as Amazon Italy calls it: Elf!
I hope ill have the courage to take it outside! It toke me a few days to bring outside another gorgeous light, a White Seeker4Pro. Olight's anodization is pretty weak.
Olight has about the same prox sensor on the WM2 as the nightcore,the olight prox sensor here is a little insane
For me the Olight warrior 3s is the winner:
OLIGHT:
- Instant access to turbo from anywhere
- From off I can access 4 modes: moonlight, low (memory), medium and turbo
NITECORE:
- No turbo from anywhere (no panic-turbo)
- Can only turn the light on from the back - change grip to access different brightness
- Can only access 2 modes from off: moonlight and memory

I really don’t like memorized settings. I was going to write off the nitecore based on that first mode setting. Nice that you can change UI based on preference this would really make it a contender. I can see how someone would say it’s too complicated. It’s not that complicated at all. I love how everyone seems to be jumping on board a ui that allows for direct access to 1 lumen to cycle up and also direct access to turbo. I will never buy another light without that capability. Fenix, streamlight and everyone else needs to figure this out.
Nitecore 3300lm turbo 30min runtime with an asterisk? What does that mean?? Olight 2300lm turbo for 2.5min? Then it requires the battery to be topped-off before it will go into turbo again? So essentially you get a green tint 21700 light at 800lm for 166min runtime plus 2.5min of turbo? Both of these lights suck! I have a 10 year old Eagtac D25LC2 Tactical that puts out 1374 (steps down to 1100) lumens for 1.5hr that is smaller & outperforms both of these lights.. A light that only holds max. output for a few seconds is marketing, not performance..!
lets be honest, warrior 3s is a big gimmick 800 lumens flashlight. I had one and returned the same day. 2300 lumens is ONLY from 100%(full charge) to 80%(yet full), from 80% and down, it does not have 2300 lumens avaliable, max output 800 lumens, and 180m throw. 120 dolars for this shit... total lie... my p20ix from the other side can throw full power even with 10% battery left. The true is, buying an olight you waste your money on everything, blinking dots, dials, sensors, beauty, the only thing you do not get is what they advertise, light... warrior 3s is a gimmick, dont waste your money, any flashlight today throws 1000 lumens, but warrior 3s is a big, heavy, thick, complicated, proprietary cable, expensive, tail cap button hard to press, and pathetic performance, even lights from 4 years ago outperforms it in light terms
Olight is a toy. I never considered them to be real work lights or tactical. They are too gimmicky to be usable. In an emergency situation you dont have time to play lets remember the sequence of my light. You need fast access to hugh lumens and sometimes throw. They claim high lumens but they never deliver. Last the magnet priority charger is a huge no go. You don't need to carry special chargers anymore usb type c is the standard. No more extra gimmicks to charge a light should ever be needed.
Each olight i have purchased including the arkfield has had issues. Olight is bottom end.
But what is a better light than both is a T1.......wuben for the win. Nitecore gets a definite spot at the top.
Love Wuben they make good lights
These lights are more pocketable tho
They both look like toys to me. The only thing that matters is the amount of light a flashlight casts, and there's nothing unusual about either one in that regards. What we have here is only a waste of money times two.
Also, the time a light can sustain its output. This is an important point that a lot of companies sacrifice for high outputs but low runtimes
You haven’t tried either light and definitely Olight branded lights. They are built with zero tolerances of defects in their manufacturing processes.
@@flashlightcrazy exactly brother! I think this is why I prefer 2.5 min of turbo vs nitecores aggressive and necessary step down on 30 seconds to 1,200 lumens. Even so… the nitecore at its lowered mode has more candela than the Olight. So this is a hard decision too because I’ve heard from other flashlight enthusiasts you only get a number of times on turbo with the Olight warrior 3S and then and after 70% battery you can’t activate it anymore??
I don’t know what to believe but I still may get the Olight for its efficiency of TIR optic and lower mode total runtimes.
What do you think ?
