  • The new Olight Prowess Multifunctional Flashlight with Bidirectional Lighting gives you the best of both worlds. A 5000-lumen front flood light with 245 meters of throw, AND an 800-lumen rear light that can be used as a desk lamp or tent light. I'll give you my thoughts on this new innovative flashlight from Olight, plus go over all the features and the UI. Let me know in the comments what you think of the new Olight Prowess.

    Bought this immediately. I can already tell it's gonna be a fantastic camp light.

    It really should have had the seeker 4 pro dial for the step-less dimming.

    I ordered my Prowess as soon as it came available at 8pm.
    I'm always on the lookout for a good light for when the power go's out, this should do the job nicely. Can't wait to try it out.

    I just ordered this light just as the video was uploaded. I'm pretty excited about the Prowess. Oh, first!

      Same. I’ve already got the tactical tripod for my lantern, should do well with the second light too. Now I want the telescopic lantern but I’ve got 2 already. Doh.

    I just got this light, it's awesome. I planing on use it as an emergency light in my basement.

    I went with the Nitecore LR70 because the lantern is more direct and is meant to be a power bank too with 10,000mAh capacity. Not as powerful as the Prowress, but it is smaller, has red light mode, and on sale it goes for $55. If they add power bank capability the Prowess would make more sense... and non-proprietary battery.

    I was very excited about this light last night put some extra money on my credit card and then thought ya do I really need it question mark after watching your video though I'm going to make the purchase thank you for your great video

    Bought that plus the multi tool. Just got the arkfeld pro flat last week. Think I have just about all thier stuff now. lol. Knives, lanterns and lights…. It’s first high power light for me though. I usually am more a mini light, headlamp etc guy so figured a full size would be nice. The secondary light sold me on it since I use those a lot.

    Totally agree in the step less dimming button. They really missed that on this light and I don't know why.

    Olight need to increase candela across the range. I love the Warrior 3s but with around 24,000cd it's getting smashed by the competition like Nitecore MH12 pro with around 60,000cd

    Hi there, great review; subscribed!
    Quick question, what device are you using to keep time for the "Not-So-Scientific Heat & Turbo Test" at 12:48 onwards?
    Cheers!

    Wish they could give us flashlights that could be powered by powerbanks and be able to use while charging.. at least if proprietery battery is empty, we can still use the torch and wont get stuck in darkeness in the middle of nowhere… Olight is like the Apple of flashlights, stuck to their proprietery magnetic charger like lightning cables. but awesome light, and I am still buying one 😀😀❤️❤️.. Thanks for the review

    Normally, those pins inside the tail cap are spring loaded. Also, Olight needs to keep USB ports off of their lights. That is a point of failure. People seem to love the damn things, but they are crap and once the port becomes loose or no longer works, the item that has it is forever screwed until repaired.

    Did you try both button and flat top batteries?

    • @ChrispyThings
      @ChrispyThings  Місяць тому +2

      I didn’t try flat top, only button top

    • @lelandphill4408
      @lelandphill4408 Місяць тому +1

      @@ChrispyThings it’s a safe bet if button top didn’t work neither will the flat . ( comparing those to the olight batteries.) Thanks 👍

    It seems to be a very good flashlight for camping, but unfortunately there is no way to simply hook this flashlight with a simple carabiner or a rope but only magneticaly.
