The tac ring on the 3 is priceless. The warrior 4 is narrower focused whereas the 3 is a little wider focused beam.
I have upgraded to the 4 and will test it out. I find the x3 more comfortable to hold. One will go to the ute. The other for work.
Thanks for taking measurements! X4 is +0.5mm vs X3 at the bezel
I would say the X4 is a solid choice if one doesn't already own the X3. Also you should've zero'd your caliper before using as all the measurements are off roughly 10+mm. The linear scale is correct but the digital output that you read was not. I mean 18mm tail cap would be smaller than the cell inside it.
This is the ultimate nightstand flashlight for home use in my view and X3 is the winner, the limited options we have regarding self defense here in europe/australia, for fighting it comes out on top for obious reasons which you mentioned, being held in my non dominant/weak hand and a HDR68 in the other which i believe you can have in australia or wherever you live aswell. I prefer the warrior mini 2 over the mini 3 aswell, i hope olight havent gone past their peak now and overthink so much they make worse products.
well said mate. Good comment
Why not a paintball gun with plastic balls instead of the HDR68? Purely asking out of curiosity - a paintball gun can hold hundreds of balls, have a large capacity co2 or air canister, very rapid fire especially with an etrigger, customisable, often very reliable if you get a proven one, barks quite nicely for some extra intimidation etc. I cannot imagine anyone carrying on through the bullet storm you can unleash with a PB gun. Obviously the paintball gun would be for home use though
@@TheArtist441 weaker shots, long time to make ready. You can have the HDR68 (or HDR50) ready beside bed, knock in that button that activate the co2 and have it ready in fraction of a second. that its easy and quick to get ready for use is very important if you are to use it for self defense, memory will fail you, fine motorskills etc will drop when you are high on adrenaline.
@@someonethatisachristian I hear you, BUT, here are some additional tricks for consideration - screw the paintball gun's gas canister in only a little so it stays fixed on the paintball gun, pre fill the hopper (magazine) to full, and keep it cocked next to your bed side. When trouble comes, simply pick it up, screw the gas canister in further until it engages (2-3 turns) and you're ready to go. They can also be modified to fire over 400fps quite easily, AND you can carry additional hoppers (Magazines) with another few hundred plastic balls. Anyhow, this is what I think, living in South Africa where there will rarely be less than 3 intruders, so you have to be able to pump out a good volume of shots and repeat when you miss
@@TheArtist441 thats a rough neigbourhood. could be youre right in that this setup is better for your scenario, but i believe you should have a backup weapon like HDR68 + large knife in addition to that. shameful you cant own proper firearms to deal with threats like that, but we're in the same situation here in europe regarding guns but thankfully only a fraction of the crime you have. My #1 tip is i hope you have a bible, because i believe the times we're in are biblical, God also protect you if you trust in him.
Me personally I like the blue lens bezel vs the plain black on x4
Thanks for this review mate
All good bro, I try to listen to viewers requests. But sometimes it can be hard to track down the lights
I like the idea of the USB-C charger but I’m not a fan of the strobe, & I like the “warrior ring”. I work security & having that on the light let’s me have a defensive tool. Also I like the X3 holster better.
Oh man, I just cannot decide between the Nitecore P23i and one of these bad boys. It does seem like one of these olights is better for home use whereas the nitecore could be better for edc or belt carry
I know Australia has creepy crawlers everywhere that can kill you just as look at you. Now I understand the deep dive interview with this flashlight.
I don’t know why there are NO glass breaking beads on the 4 ..got one on the way as well as a Baton 4
i think they are almost the same,its just the usb c charging thats new on the x4
💯👍.
I liked the tac ring. The new holster doesn't cover the on off button by the look of it. Accidental turn ons could be an issue?
I havent seen any issues with accidental turn ons
Have just purchased the x3 and it's awesome, what lumen is the strobe on the x4 please, love the videos💪🏻👍
It was my understanding that this flashlight’s USB-C port could be used as a power bank to charge external devices but when I connect it to my iPhone 15 Pro Max, an error message appears on the phone screen indicating the charging source (Warrior X4) uses too much power and therefore will not charge the iPhone, at all.
When I connect the flashlight to my 11” iPad Pro (4th gen), the red light beside the flashlight’s charging port illuminates but the iPad does not respond to the charging source, at all.
Can the X4 actually be used as a power bank to charge external devices? or do I have a defective flashlight?
If the warrior x4 had more than 2 light outputes i woukd 100% buy it but only 200 lumens and turbo is ridiculous, it needs a moonlight mode and a high mode with a longer step down. 200 lumens is may too much for walking or stealthy, and the turbo with a step down is anoying so both modes are unusable levels for me
Low mode is 300 lumens.
Does the tac ring fits in x4?
What battery is inside each of them please

Thyrm switchback for x4
0 reason to upgrade. Waiting for the next generation
Is rhe x4 holster compatible with the x3
No, it is not
@@flashlightcrazy ball drop there I reckon from olight. But the X4 still seems pretty cool.
100% mate. Although, I think it was intentional they did that@@FTX03
Yea probably was aye. I have been wanting to get another olight to keep at work and one in my ute so I am thinking this is still a good option especially with the sale on right now
Yeah mate. Hit the link for it below and it will take you right to the sale and the exact light
@@FTX03
The X3 looks better because of the blue besel!
Will the tac loop fit on the 4?
Yes the tactical ring from the Warrior X 3 fits the Warrior X 4
Yep I emailed Olight .. they have no Stock of separate Tactile rings at this time but will soon
Thrym switchback ring
@blakeolson2036 cool Thanks for the info
Looks like X4 is downgrade the X3. Lees equipment, lees price, probably quality its not same.
