- Thanks to my friend Darren Yeo for joining me in this video. We discuss the differences and similarities of budget and mainstream lights. Check out the video to see what we find.
Interesting convo and can't believe we talked two hours about torches 😂
Yes, time flew by!
@@apexriders_mike or me? :D have cut my hair myself for the last 4 years, just bought one of those clippers , easy.
@@DarrenYeoYT What clippers did you get, mine just broke, any good?
LED achieved high brightness and low cost ten years ago.
My life with flashlights begun at the end of the sixties; that is 40 years with incandescent flashlights, and a small parenthesis around the year 2000 with short-arc discharge bulbs - they have a wonderful tint and spectrum.
LED lights begun for me with the original SureFire L1, a 15 lumens LED light with a purple (P4) tint. But ten more years had to elapse, before quantum mechanical studies brought LEDs to 200 Lumen/Watt efficiency, ten times more than the best incandescent (the SF M4 Millennium Edition).
Now I have a decent collection of the most recent Fenix and Nitecore lights; I love the small Nitecore T4K and the mastodon which is the Fenix LR60R; I'm playing with them now. For money reasons, I must avoid duplicate flashlight types across brands.
Thank you for your 100% flashlights video.
Greetings,
Anthony
Deal Xtreme holy shit. Thats how you know who is OG. Brings back memories
I just found both of your channels this week and ended up ordering two new lights. Yesterday i had the thought that you two should collaborate...and then today YT sends me here. Cheers!
Cool video guys. Flashlights get more interesting the more I learn. The flashlight game is totally different than the C and D cell incandescent lights we took camping as kids 25-30 years ago...I gave my dad a nitecore rechargeable headlamp as a christmas gift a few years ago and he was initially blown away at how bright it was and the convenience of being rechargeable.. And that headlamp is only a fraction of the brightness of some of these lights you guys have. This year I might get him a handheld that's extra bright, light up the entire back yard lol.
You and Darren did a great review/podcast of flashlights. Seriously keep these coming, would love to see both of your collections of LEP
Hey bud
love the collaboration video, lots of information to digest.
Great job, respect from Melbourne take care = )
Cheers Bruce mate!
I can't believe I am not alone,my Mum bought me my first torch when I was 2 & the rest is history,I was hooked,I became a High Voltage electrician & love anything & everything that uses electricity.Just subbed to your channel,love what I have found.😁🔦🔋
Thanks mate. Really appreciate the support! Check out Darren Yeo's channel as well. He is the guy in this video. Great bloke and great reviews as well!
@@flashlightcrazy Cool man,yep just just subbed to Darren's channel too.looking forward to upcoming videos from both of you,take care mate.🔦⚡🔋
@@danielelise7348 We appreciate it bro! Many more videos to come, and me and Darren will do more collab videos too
I had fun listening to your guy's conversation, thanks for taking the time, I recently got interested in flashlights again when I saw Olight release the Nano Warrior, so I have been jumping down the rabbit hole again, there are a ton of brands out there today, Streamlight, Thrunite, Fenix, A couple great value brands are Sofirn(you guys mentioned them) and Wurkkos. Over the last decade or so I've trained here and there with law enforcement, and their go-to brand seems to be Nitecore. I think NexTorch is one of the few flashlight brands out there that does a proper DNA catcher on their tactical lights, the added ceramic beads are something more lights should have in the EDC and or tactical lights, one would be surprised how hard it is to break a regular car window with the bezel of a flashlight in a rescue situation, the ceramic beads make so easy a 5-year-old could do it.
Better late than never. Great shows! I am Trying to be Flash Light Crazy, after watching you cuz you are the show, I have a ways to go. Late 70’, may not have time. Cheers!
Oh shit! Two of em in one room!
I love your passion for torches. Great episode.
we hoping to see further interesting collaboration like this again
Forget about the past.... just need to be constantly prepared and situationally aware of your surroundings even more with how the world is currently, Great video lots of info
Cheers mate
I use budget at work (Sofirn if22a and mostly the sc32, attached to the helmet with a ziptie). Sometimes i use a LedLenser p5r. Outside my house, LumintopGTA and Olight baton3pro max. In house fenix hm65rt.
On the work lights i applied a silicone foil because ppl grind, weld or torch cut metal.
I guess what started me on torches was the free ones that Tandy's used to give away from time to time back in the 70's
Melbourne torch enthusiasts unite!
I just got my emisar d4v2 it’s sooooo dopeee
My issues with Olight is proprietary charging and lack of candela in most of their “tactical” lights . Due appreciate their run times but they get hot very easily
Absolutely fantastic video could listen to you guys for a couple of hours more wish I lived where you guys are I have at last count around 200 led torches/flashlights think it was 207 been collecting them for around 30 years it drives the wife crazy lmao what's you friends UA-cam channel I'll subscribe to him as well. Nice job 👍👍👍
Darren Yeo is his channel. He'd love you to subscribe. Thanks Keith! You're a legend!
Nice video!
Thank you!
5:48 That Imalent I've seen some other channels that have tested it and it drops 200 lumens a second as soon as you turn it on from 13000 down to 2000 where it levels off and then drops again. Its very misleading specs. I think any turbo should be 30 seconds minimum and high mode 5 minutes minimum.
The amount of battery that turbo would waste for something not really usable should be considered also.
Totally agree.
congratulations , very nice informative video. Good to see the interaction between you two. The in and outs between different kind of flashlight 🔦 . Two flashlight enthousiast with different kind of way how they see and use the lights , budget and the more expensive ones. First I see 1.30 hour of video but he the time was flying.
I hope you bring more videos together, new models , techniques , applications, battery , self-defense etc. Thanks again and good luck 🎲 .

unbelievable information al good very good information
I wish other brands would bring a actual switch to change the profiles like Streamlight does on their Strion 2020, or Stinger 2020
Great video, was fun to watch. Lots of incorrect information unfortunately.
You should make a correct video about this if you can if you have more knowledge share it with us .
ive seen this video before lol i had to change all my accounts so yeh i have to watch all your older videos all over again but thats fine lol i dont mind
Merci Canada M.T.L Québec wow 😮
In most torches you'll find things you dont like about the beam when shining on a wall but once outside most of the time those little annoying things go away so its cheesy to judge a torch by what it looks like on the wall go outside and appreciate it then..
that nightcore P23i is my favorite tactical light.. 3000 lumens & 470m throw
Watching them shine flash lights in a lit room is so funny
Should do this more with new lights. interesting
We would love to. It is just a matter of finding the time. We both work outside this hobby so it is hard to co ordinate sometimes
Actually wayched all of this🤦, didn't think i would but i do own about 30 lights so this was very interesting 👌
Haha awesome. I had a blast with Darren
More Melbourne torch nuts... thought I was the only one 😂🤣😂 What's Darren's you tube channel?
You can remove the bezel from the Warrior 3 and swap it out with a less aggressive bezel that olight sell.
I am actually a huge fan of high lumen flood lights like the Olight Marauder 2, Olight seeker range ect.
Thanks for commenting brother. Appreciate your engagement. Love the assistance with removing the bezel!
@@flashlightcrazy oh, on the bezel. Place it on a rubber surface and twist. In the Olight kit they actually supply a rub diaphragm to twist it off. I use my palm 😊
@@Studat Sweet man, thanks so much!
sickkk its me jacob
Hey bro!!!! Thanks for watching man.
@@flashlightcrazy allg
Think i watched everyone of your videos lightlife
You're from Melbourne? Nice are there any torch events in Melbourne?
I am not sure about Torch events, but that sounds awesome if there are.
Really interesting video guys - thanks. I’ve recently bought an Acebeam L35 - when I start to charge it glows Red…..then Green, is recharging completely finished when it glows Green?….or will the Green light eventually turn off to signal completion?….. I don’t want to overcharge it and damage it….grateful for your advice - THANKS
Thanks for watching mate
@@flashlightcrazy - no worries….any thoughts on the question I asked? - Thanks
Green light will stay on until you pull it off charge @@WatchDSSID
IS THE BEST ONE FOR THE MONEY Olight Baton 3 Pro Max 3000 warm lights wheelchair larry Merry Christmas
No
Just some constructive criticism from someone who'd love to see a more in depth view of these torches: Next time, please have this in a dark area where only you both are illuminated for the convo, but you can easily pivot to the dark area (preferably spacious like a park or so) and you can show us the beams and reach, as well as color fidelity.
This was just too much talk with very little in the way of demonstration imho.
Thanks
Thanks heaps for the feedback man. We will certainly think of doing that
9 minutes in and still no torches getting touched.
Nerding out with flashlights…. The world shall not understand me…. Anyone remember the Novatac 60?! When 60 lumens was the shizzle..
Give me one flashlight😢
I love flashlight I got check that one out I have surefire and coast lensor led ran it 16 years plus daily button broken reached out to both companies coast sending me new lights outstanding customer service lensor also but want the light back which I can't was last gift someone gave me i went everywhere on this comment I love flashlight that all 😅
Dude...that lep is the absolute worst beam profile for self defense I've ever seen.
”When I was 14, like 3 years ago…”
Where the correct pants you can carry about anything. All though that can get you in trouble too.
