    Not an Olight fan here but we need to he accurate. The exploding light had NOTHING to do with Olight except happenstance, they weren’t even required to appear in court over it.
    It was a cheap Chinese battery of the wrong rating that the Olight owner installed in his Olight. He held the light in his mouth while working on his car, the battery overheated and exploded, and popped the cap off the back, which lodged itself in his airway and he choked to death.
    Just as Glock isn’t to blame when Freedom Munitions detonates like a nuke, Olight wasn’t to blame for a wrong and cheaply made battery being used in their light.

      The specific phenomenon that caused the olight to explode is called reverse charging, and any light that uses multiple CR123As is susceptible to the exact same thing. The chemistry of the cheap Nuon brand batteries that the victim was using is apparently extremely likely to cause issues, regardless if it's in a cheap or expensive light.
      Can't post links but just search for "Photon Phreaks cr123a reverse charging" and you'll find an article that describes the issue in depth. The same article cites other incidents with different brands that used multiple cr123a batteries, which is why the industry has been moving away from them

    My review is dropping tomorrow. Mine lost zero (by about 3 inches at 15 yards)when racking it off the optic 15 times. But it shifted back… It held zero under recoil though. I used a Zev cut slide with post and 4-40 screws. Lets just say the included 4-40 screws and the tolerances of the Osight screw hole tolerances cause the sight to shift slightly when hit. They need better/longer screws and a smaller hole. This is not unique, almost every cheaper Chinese optic Ive used had this same tolerance issue. They all held zero perfectly on a traditional RMR cut with forward post (because the fit was snug, with zero wiggle). You can watch my review tomorrow if you want the nerdy specs/measurements. Spoiler, it does have other practical issues…

    • @lucusloc
      @lucusloc 3 місяці тому +2

      I had the same problem with the Sig Romeo Zero. I used it on a RMR pic mount that had no "cut" face to index against and it would flop around under recoil. You could even press on it with your thumb and watch it shift zero. Turns out Sig has a video out that stays you *must* index this sight against a cut in order for it to hold zero, as the polymer body and screws alone are not enough. I did get a full return from the vendor, as they agreed that representing the sight as "compatible" with a RMR mount while not mentioning it needed a cut in the product description (which is not part of the RMR specs) was misleading. As far as I am concerned Sig needs to add that to the product description; you need an RMR spec mount *with a cut* to index against in order to run those kinds of optics.
      (for those who are curios the screws can wedge the optic against the front face of the cut, which is why the tolerances on the screw holes themselves are not all that important when using both features to index and secure the sight.)

      Using CR123As in something meant for AA or whatever happened is definitely not a good idea in any flashlight that won't support it. I haven't had of any dangerous, explosive failures with any of Olight's products with their own sealed batteries.
      I've been using lights like the Odin mini, Baldr mini, i5T, and Arkfeld Pro with no issues. They're cheap enough for me to cover my needs with EDC keychain/Pistol/Long Gun/emergency spare etc vs buying something expensive like a Surefire for just 1 gun. They can handle a flashlight no issue nowadays.
      I'm definitely skeptical when they enter another market, especially with first generation products. I'll come back around if they identify and address flaws like those in the video.

Just look it up, this can and has happened many, many times with many “high end” brands, up to and including surefire. The reason Olight took so much flak for it is due to the fact that they had just entered the weapon mounted light market and the gun community is littered with elitist snobs who caught a whiff of this and decided to blow it out of proportion: “If you’re not spending $400+ on your LED with a battery encased in aluminum, you’re gonna die.

      Also a good point; cheap screws may not hold torque/clamp-up as well as better ones. A torque check before & after with a cheap Fat Wrench would be a good way to confirm the screws are staying put vs. stretching or loosening for future reviews. Was there anything on the underside that might impede a solid fitment of the Olight sight? I've seen crummy RMR clones with 'gaskets' that prevent metal/metal contact, and thus you get bad zero shifts.

    Monstrum is definitely worth the little bit of money they charge. Yeah, they may break, but they will send you a new one. It's happened to 2 out of the 10 things I've bought from them. And one of those things was the light level turret loosened slightly, they sent me a brand new one and now I have two. A screw fell out of another and they sent me a whole new 3x magnifier. Most of their stuff has both red and green too. They also have a bunch of cheap mounting hardware that we all know isn't top notch, but most of it has lasted over 2 years on my old gear. I will always recommend them just for the customer service alone, besides having decent stuff.

Also I have to shout out Tacticon I have a few of their products as well and I have to say it takes balls to put your name and face on your products. With other faceless companies if they get a bad rep they can easily rebrand and most won't notice but when you make yourself the brand you have to stand by your product or you'll never be able to work innthe industry again.

    There are only a handful of optics than can handle a rock being smashed on them. The only one that comes to mind that is under $500 is the 509t. Zeroe shift is an issue, but no torquing of the screws, loctite, nor was a proper zero set. Informative evaluation but dubious execution.

    • @DeskPop
      @DeskPop  3 місяці тому +1

      The 507 comp can handle this as well.
      All the cyclees can handle it.
      Definitely an RMR can handle it.
      I didn’t “smash” it, i dropped a fairly small rock from less than two feet.
      Proper torque for an optic is 10-15inch pounds which is quite literally hand tight; I’ve mounted hundreds of optics in my day, I’m very confident it was tightened properly.

    • @timoftheboat
      @timoftheboat 3 місяці тому +3

      @@DeskPop the test is subjective without controls in place to make testing repeatable. Proper torque, loctite, and a drop / smash test that is repeatable is how that is done. The review is fun to watch, but it’s subjective and your argument of having a tuned torque wrench of a hand bolsters that. I understand your argument, and understand having a tuned hand. I wrenched for a decade on carbon parts with titanium fasteners. End of the day humans are humans and we are the variable that needs to be removed. Also an rmr is a $500 optic.

    • @DeskPop

      @@timoftheboat whatever makes you happy, go buy it and do the test yourself. I tested it effectively, you don’t need a “tuned” hand for 12-15 inch pounds. Especially when you’re removing and replacing and optic with another optic that’s had the exact same treatment and holds zero perfectly. My attempt to save you money is mute if you’re going to try to cope.
      Here’s the simple fact:
      I have mounted hundreds of dots by hand and with torque wrenches in the past year.
      12-15 inch pounds is 1 ft/lb which with your experience you would know is extremely low; if anything I would have overtorqued the optic screws which wouldn’t result in the optic slipping.
      I put my 507 comp back on and torque it exactly the same way again, and It will continue to hold zero indefinitely as it has for the last 20,000 rounds of abuse this gun has already seen.

      This isn’t a “just me” issue. If you got one that holds zero you’re the outlier.
      I wack it completely independent from mounting screws and it still shifts, you can and have seen that in the video.
