If people want to see how accurate Lumen rating claims are, one good channel is Torque Test youtube channel. They test mostly power tools, but he does a bunch of lights, too. Olight usually gets pretty close to their claims. He also does drop tests as well.
Remember those plastic Eveready lights with the handle that ran on D batteries that always corroded. The bulb was so dim and burned out whenever you needed it? This would be circa 1970.
Got one of these on sale a few months back. It is crazy bright. The on/off switch is kind of annoying - you have to screw with it to get it to come on. A little annoying. But otherwise nice light.
Thanks for the review, been wanting one a while it ticks nearly every box. I like and completely get their proprietary 😂mag charging, however it cud do with a 2 way fast charge usb c connector, that you can charge ur phone from as emergency power bank? If they do a v2 its the only extra feature id like to see😅
Only thing I do not like is the magnetic charging in the base. In the machine shop all the little chips of metal stick to the light. Not a good thing IMO.
I just got mine, love it of course, like I do my other 37 Olights, but I'm still waiting to hear the box speak to the quality of the light. I hope is won't start bragging in the middle of the night.
Is it LEP or LED spot light I have one and thought it was an led spot but could be wrong. I'll have to look it up. Awesome video and excellent flashlight
Description ✦ Large Battery Capacity: Customized 24Wh 32650 rechargeable lithium battery ensures extended runtime. Now compatible with Olight’s MCC3 magnetic charging cable. ✦ Uniformly Distributed RGB Colour LEDs: Three RGB color LEDs are uniformly distributed around the converging lens, making it suitable for use during any occasion. ✦ Dual-beam with Spot and Flood: An array of LEDs offers two powerful beam choices: a 600-meter max throw from the central LED’s spotlight beam, or a 7,000-lumen max output floodlight beam from the 9 surrounding LEDs. ✦ Safest in its Class: A built-in thermal sensor and cooling fins to ensure safety in case of overheating and lens obstruction.
The only good thing about this particular flashlight is the service olight provides. i lost count of how many times I have requested new batteries in the past year and a half. And it's been switched out 2 times for whatever reason it stops working
Olight quality and durability sucks balls... HOWEVER, when your light breaks, and it will, their customer service is TOP TIER, and they will have your replacement light in the mail the very next day. Their prices have crept up over the years, and now they are priced very close to some known duty rated brands. Im looking at you, Streamlight. Here's a shoutout to Lynette at Olight Customer Service! She's an angel!
I've never had an olight failure and I beat the crap out of these things. I carry them as my service lights and camping and hiking and they just don't break. You must have gotten a 1 off dud or threw it off a 10 story building. Lol
@thickwristmcfist3399 tell me you live in your basement with your mom without saying it. 😒 if your still buying streamlight in 2024 your a boomer for sure. Bet you got a pair of new balances on right now.
I don’t know my olight pretty good. I use mine in the shop. Been dropped in oil thrown around ran over by heavy equipment lost outside for 2 days in the snow still was on that’s what helped me find it
@tylerbeaucage8499 be careful, ole thickwrist gets his panties in a wad if you say your olights are durable. Lol he's a boomer that still thinks streamlight and mag lights are the latest and greatest. Lol
I’m polish and I design my own light, it called the Tatamovich 990 xl , it only weighs 200 grams and it make 3.2 million lumens , I use secret formula of Cree led and the skin of 6 polish sausages, it make your olight look like toy , I’m fully qualified electronics, physics, chemistry and biological engineer , I also have degree in thermodynamics and nuclear engineering , but here in Uk where I live I work in sausage packaging factory, I’m best torch designer in world , like betman
So why are you here, writing bitchy comments one after another? Who in their right mind wastes their precious valuable TIME on something like that? Jesus man, have some self respect.
Streamlight protac 2.0 is better and brighter. And only boasts 2000 lumens. Explain that one? Just because olight claims these high lumens. Doesn't mean they deliver.
I don’t care about the brand loyalty. But there are two different measures to consider between flash lights. Lumens is general output over all and candelas is focused output. Just something to consider; floodlight or spotlight.
The Marauder Mini has been tested at 6870 lumens ANSI, your protac 2.0 is not hitting those numbers. Already been tested. Don't know why you're arguing something that isn't true.
Last oh ya i want to carry a 40 ounce liquor bottle sized flashlight...that is clearly not waterproof...lol. jesus man i thought you had some self respect.

I love mine. Bought the Orange one on a midnight sale. Bought another one for my son at Christmas.
I bought one last year. Great light.
I bought one. It’s solid!
Best camping light. I love mine. Never a problem
Idk man that backbiting war light lantern with the 5k lumens light in front is pretty badass for camping

How Fast can you "Click it On into Brightest Mode" ??? I typically use Fenix due to their Quick Burst with tail-cap..
Love my Mini!! Great review Sootch!!
To me this is almost perfect. Is there anything on the market like this, but has a little spill when in spot light mode?
Just got mine today. Thanks, Sootch!

Thanks. For $200 I don’t want to be annoyed.

If you push the button three times it will go in to strobe light. That is intense
I have the Manker MK38 40,000 lumens with dual fans. My next one is the Imalent SR32 with 200,000 lumens.
Nice flex....on ummm.....errr.....a flashlight 😂😂😂......😂😂😂
Is there an attachment to secure onto handlebars ?
gonna look great in your jeans pocket

Does olight service lights? Can you have parts replaced?
Yes
I need me one
Shame it doesn't have USB-C charging, that's a deal breaker for me.
Great review Sootch!!It's really a great flashlight, it looks like a smaller version of the WUBEN-A1 to me, can you test the WUBEN-A1 and compare it?

You need to seek mental help....and quick 😂😂😂
I used to listen to your reviews with hope you would not sell out. To muff garbage. And yet here we are.
Instead of filling the comment section with your crap ... just tune out and don't watch. And keep your child drool to yourself.
So why are you here, writing bitchy comments one after another? Who in their right mind wastes their precious valuable TIME on something like that? Jesus man, have some self respect.

Yeah right but how much is your streamlight that is made in China but assembled in the US and says made in US ?

@@LuckyFKR23yep,👍l own both brand, and lots of them, Olight is bang for the money.
Yeah the protac 2.0 a smaller flashlight, but its not nearly the flashlight the Marauder Mini is. You sound a$$hole as well.

It's not made for carry, you dufus.
Some people just have to try and draw attention to their "strong" opinions. Hahaha! You child.
Keyboard warrior. You can disagree without being an ass. Speaking of self respect…
You use this to find lost backpackers in forests. Have a little humanity.
