I have little to no use for either, but I want both. Lol.
Same!!
My wife dont understand me, i have no use for them but i like flashlights lol
Same lol
Get a job as security so you can justify its purchase.
I carried a Fenix PD35 for several years for my work. It withstood all sorts of extreme and harsh conditions and other than being scratched up , it still works just as good today as it did when I bought it. Fenix has the best quality of any flashlight I've ever owned and that includes several other, well known top brands. I just ordered the LR50R. I can't wait to try it out. Excellent review!
So I tested both and I keep both. First I wanted to send back the Fenix, but: Fenix has a more focused beam, that is in most situations useful and especially for high distance and it has a connector for tripod. But it's big and the buttons are not feeling very good. The M2 on the other hand is more compact and feels very good in my hand. It has a very nice button, USB can be easily hide, comes with charger and a eyelet, that can also be hidden. Very nice. And the beam is very wide, better for rooms and photos. The beam option is also nice, but not as bright as the Fenix in short distance and can't be set at the same time as wide beam. I also miss a security eco light mode for 30 days. And of course the M2 is much more expensive. If I had to give one away, I would keep the M2
I’ll stick with the Marauder 2. The Fenix doesn’t seem as well thought out.
Marauder 2 is way better built
While being very impressive I'm glad I spent the extra money on the M2. I like having more options. Thanks for the head to head. It affirmed my decision. God bless and stay safe.
Thank you for another GREAT review.
I've been waiting for this light for a while now.
I wanted to see how this one compared to the LR40R.
Ordering it today!
Thank You for this review! I bought the Marauder 2 a year ago and quickly learned it wasn't going to be ideal for open country use. The flood doesn't have enough throw and the throw doesn't provide any situational awareness....two extremes and no compromise. Been a long time Olight fan, (since the original Javelot UT) and I have several now. It's tough to beat the Warrior X Pro for general outdoor use.
I just ordered the Fenix L50R, it looks to be a good blend of both extremes (similar to my experience with the Warriors) just more of everything!!
Awesome, that's perfect. Thanks! Sold on the Marauder 2 for the spot beam function. I was in the air because I liked the Fenix's 21700s more than a custom battery pack of the Olight.
Magnificent! Magnificent! Magnificient.
Dang, the marauder is a monster, but the fenix being a full combo may be more to my liking.
I like that the marauder is a dedicated flood and dedicated spot, but man if that combo doesn't impress.
Thanks for sharing.
Be safe.
It would have been nice to see the different power settings on both lights shining at the barn. Thank you for the review.
I got the Marauder 2 during a flash sale, and it was about $100 off the normal price. It's an awesome light. That said, the LR50R has a nice tight beam. Might be worth picking one up at a discount. Thanks for the review!
I like how it takes a few seconds to beam down when close to something. My Marauder 2 is far too sensitive. I do like the swappable battery pack of the Fenix.
You can adjust the sensitivity of the proximity sensor or turn it off completely and burn your house down with the M2. 😂🤣
Dang bro, you know I'm a Fenix nut and must add this to the collection. You did a good job keeping it under wraps bro
UPDATE: I got the LR50R in the mail today. It's charging as I type this. Can't wait to try it out tonight!
So...?
How do you like it? I have an lr40r and i love it. Worth the buy?
How’s the perform man
don't blind yourself in the glare....
I have both and to be honest the Olight is much more practical.
I've also seen a lot of people making the same mistake with the Olight to get super turbo you have to double tap and double tap.👍🏻
How is a huge wall of light useful, especially in the conditions the video showed? Only olight fanboys would still have to find a reason without actually giving a reason to say their olight is more practical.
FENIX IS KING
really a fan of what Luminus has been doing lately. i remember when when SST50 and SST90 were the kings of power back in the day because cree really only had the MCE for higher ouput lights. but the sst series leds were incredibly inefficient and required huge amounts of current. then cree stepped up their game over the years with the XML and then onto the XPL, and then onto the wicked XHP series. so in response, luminus released the SST70, which turned out to be a beast. Im impressed by my PD40RV2. so many people assume that these flashlight companies are the brains behind light tech advancing so quickly, but in reality its the Emitter companies that are the real winners behind this industry, without them Fenix, Acebeam, Olight, Klarus, Nitecore, etc would be nothing. anyways. Great video!!
The Marauder, which I own one, to me is the better light due to the spill and flood of the beam. It is more practical up close and even mid to far range it is great for not hotspotting. I have Warrior X Turbo and Javelot Turbo for spot beams and the Marauder ain't no slouch when it comes to spot beam either. But the Fenix is nice, just is not a good buy if you already own an Olight version. Good review. But there is just something undesirable about such an intense spot beam. The Fenix would have been better if it had a slight flood to its massive tight spot. Its too intense as a spot.
I think I would prefer the Marauder because the light is intense without washing everything out, and the focused beam is much tighter but still maintains it's clarity. The Fenix is a beast, but other than trying to blind everyone in my path, I believe that the Olight is a bit more utilitarian. And it's smaller too.
Two great flashlights but I think two different uses. I have the Marauder 2 and love it for what I need. Going into pitch black buildings, the Marauder 2 lights it up like daylight. The Fenix (I don't own) looks to be a better spot type light. The Marauder has a spotlight function but it is made for a very long, narrow throw.
Nice review. Thanks.
Very sharp comparison and good job
Holy Crap , that's Awesome. I did want to see the other modes though ....
WHOA!!!! This is a must have!!!
Thanks I will buy an Olight. Much better light and doesn't wash out objects
Nowhere near much better lol
Olight quality is mediocre at best. The colors are pretty and that's it. The proprietary charging and batteries are unnecessary, and olight is Expensive for what you get..Fenix quality is better, hands down. Stop being silly. I can shop at a store while on vacation and they carry SF (overpriced) Streamlight (overpriced) Pelican (stupid lights) and Fenix..they stopped carrying olight because of too many problems
I can tell you the store and you can call them and ask them yourself if you don't believe me. They had 4 lights last year, and I asked why. The man said they are not good lights.
Smoky Mountain Knifeworks Sevierville, TN. I spoke with the associate the other day when I bought 2 Fenix lights and he wouldn't even recommend the other ones. All of those guys prefer and recommend Fenix. They talk to more people every day about it face to face than we do. Fenix all the way. Why do you think that olight sales so many? They do so many specials and giveaway deals just to keep their numbers up.
One more thing, the olight literally picks up all the pollen and haze in the air, thus causing a loss of true focus. The olight in this video has a horrible beam with that square and no spill, and a ridiculous wall of light that serves no purpose. My LR35R has a much better spot/spill/flood pattern by far than the olight does.
Not bad, sticking with my M2.
Same here. Love my M2
@@willyb155 yeah, I love that flood. the fenix is a beast.
@@willyb155 plus the size and weight difference is huge
M2?
@@brandong2142 Marauder 2
The Fenix has throw and flood at all time. You are comparing the throw in the Fenix to the flood on the olight... if you put the olight on the throw mode it'll probably throw longer than the Fenix.
Lmao, the fenix throws around 200M more..so 20% further.
Nice flashlights and very bright
I love my marauder 2 ..... flood and spot in one unit , there looks to be a big delay on the fenix proximity sensor
Some delay is likely engineered in to find a good balance between safety and 'false positives'. I'd heard comments about rain/snow causing the Marauder 2's prox sensor to step it down. I'm NOT trying to perpetuate any rumors, btw, just curious if you've had any issues with yours. Again, possible that was just a rumor, but could explain an intentional prox step-down delay in Fenix's engineering.
While I love my Marauder 2 it isnt a false rumour. I've had mine step down due to water on the sensor.
Now on the other hand, I leave it on for the most part but if in a snowy or wet environment quickly pressing the power button 15 times disables the proxy sensor. So best of both worlds tbh.
Marauder for me. 👍🏻
Same here. I've had my Marauder 2 for almost 3 years.
The Fenix doesn't have the throw that the Marauder 2 has when it's in spotlight mode.
@@BuckFudweiserlmao it throws 150M furhter than the olight..
Good Video!👍🏽
Hi nice review i have ordered mine
Hey Harley yeah you remind me of a Harley-Davidson thank you for sharing this great video on that light awesome 😎💰🖐️👍
These look like amazing lights I need one that is pretty waterproof for treasure hunting at night in rivers 1 to 5 feet deep in fast-moving current the lights will not stay submerged but once in a while to get dipped everyone that I bought so far does a pretty good job but you can tell there’s moisture inside when I’m done so I just take them all apart when I get home at night and the next day they work fine but I’d like something a little more waterproof and something with this kind of punch
I just got the Marauder 2,its fab,i have the fenix tk72r too,they tend to flood with more throw,Olight do more throw,depends what you want,both are great same as this LR50 fenix,there just diff .
PS. Nice review👍
Nice review 🤜🤛 Interesting flashlight.
Thanks man
Love your videos Harley, your reviews are really good. I do have a question on your preference between the LR35R being all flood, the LR40R being a combination of flood and throw and the LR50R being more about the throw. Which one would you recommend for someone who wants the best of both worlds? Thanks!
Crickets bro.....Crickets!
The android equivalent of lightning is, usb c😂 every Android phone for the last 4+ years has had it, it's universal and common, unlike lightning
Yeah, Apple only does it to force people in the US to buy new products. Only in Europe, they force Apple to make standard micro usb or C on all their products.
might be time to put the old RC 40 up for sale!
love me some FENIX
I have the older Fenix LR40R. It has the same lumens output and power bank. But it can also switch from flood to throw beam ( and it’s a circular beam, not square) or both at same time. It’s also has a quad 18650 pack it comes with but can also use 4 regular 18650. So I’m not sure if Fenix really improved on the LR40R with the LR50R.
I sold my LR40R because the lack of a sling. Awesome light though
Sir 🙏
Which will be best to buy Fenix lr 50r Or Fenix lr 80r?
Fenix lr 80r battery is not removable but there are screws so I think if I wish I can remove.
A seller told me that I can buy the battery pack directly from him.
So my question is that is battery pack of Lr 80r available in the market?
Awesome light and review. I wonder if you could just use 4 single 21700s. ?
Yes you can, but they need to be button top 21700s.
"I looove USB-C".... "USB-C to whatever Android uses" hahahaha
Haha the fenix is ridiculous!!! 🤣👍👍👍🏆🏆
Hello! Do you know how you can factory reset or reboot Fenix LR50R?
I like the flood on the olight, does a good job, but that fenix is a light on steroids! I'll take one to go and mount it on a weapon lol
Definitely olight for me
So I came into this being a self admitted Olight fan boy. I personally like the M2 better due to some of the different functions it has. From the video I like the spill the M2 has a little better and I feel like the Fenix is almost too bright... can't believe I'm saying that lol. That was with it on turbo of course so it could be turned down, that's crazy the candela that Fenix is pushing. Great video and comparison as always brother 👍
Great comparison! That Fenix looks like a beast.
Always appreciate your videos but not a good comparison towards the end; you're comparing the candela of the Fenix to the flood (mode) of the Marauder. Pretty sure on the throw mode it would have washed out the barn very similarly.
Just bought the LR50R and I'm in love. LOL. It's a beast!!! The build quality is amazing!!!
Bought the Fenix got a sweet deal since they had a 20% off coupon but olight has the same deal as well. Now I’m wondering if I should get the Marauder instead
Yes get Marauder it’s a great flood much better for doing video.
No thanks....my 5 year old Fenix RC40 2016 edition is a beast and it's the best combination flood/thrower on the market today. Save your money or buy a Fenix RC40 2016 edition .....it may be rated at half the lumens but it's Everything I've wanted in a light! The charge lasts better than all the other lights I have (Olight, Acebeam, Mecarmy, Klarus.....)
Marauder 2 or Fenix LR50R ? The Fenix LR50R can change , or take the replacements the batttery as much as we want. But the Marauder is not.
WOW! That’s awesome 👏 that Phoenix is the bees knees! Wondering the cost.
You like not being able to actually see what you are shining your light at?...Ok...
I work as a diesel tech and I need a long lasting heavy duty bright light but everything keeps braking on me
What led chip does the Olight marauder 2 use? did not see the company announced?
German Osram LED`s
The Android of equivalent of USB-C is....USB-C lol
Brilliant sir
Two bananas lights I’d love to have but absolutely have no practical use for. 🔦😳
And thats why lumens isn’t everything, gotta pay attention to the candela depending on the application.
Not being able to replace the batteries on the olight really killed it for me, I can't see spending that much for a flashlight only for it to be useless in 2-3 years
Kinda like all modern smart phones.
Well, as a person getting such a flashlight with literal bombs as power source, you should have some technical background.
And with technical background there is no problem in replacing them.
Android phones basically made USB-C standard in the industry before anything else. Android phones have been using USB-C for many years. And most charging cords for Android phones for the past couple of years have been USB-C to USB-C.
magnifique mon frère
Can these batteries of the fenix flashlight be changed/replaced?
From the Fenix web site "Also, in an emergency, the LR50R is able to run on one to three 21700 batteries." So I would say the answer is yes. Also it can be used as a power bank.
Nice flash ...
How much that both ?
I like to see practical, long runtimes at high output but passive thermal management is a design challenge:
The Olight Marauder 2 has a claimed 14,000 lumen runtime of 5 mins before thermal throttling the output.
Olight X7R claims 12,000 lumens for 3 minutes.
Olight Marauder X9R claims 25,000 lumens for 1h40m
FENIX LR50R claims 14,000 lumuns for 1h50m
IMALENT MS18 claims 100,000 lumens for 1 minute
Cool light... so bright u cant see what your trying to look at. Ill take the olight anyday. But im a flood guy. Ive never ran into a situation that i needed to spotlight anything in real life.
I pig hunt and the Felix has been my best purchase to date. No pig goes undiscovered with this beast.
@@wefukthenwo I do too but the bars in my area close too early. 😬
compare to acebeam x45
I just received mine, it says in the instructions that when using 21700 the max output will be only 6000 lumen ...
Not sure how exactly they "detect" if we are using the battery pack os 4x21700 cells .... but I didn't like when I read that in the manul, disappointing.
It's a safety issue. They don't want dumb Jimmy putting crappy lithium in the light, causing a fire, then saying, "This light is garbage."
French : Lequel des 2 éclaire le mieux ? qui est le le meilleur ? je ne comprends pas l'anglais , c'est pour cela que je vous écrit pour savoir lequel des 2 lampe est le meilleur.
English :Which of the 2 illuminates the best? who is the best? I don't understand English, that's why I'm writing to you to find out which of the 2 lamps is the best.
Merci/thank you
Феникс лучше !
The olight marauder is $251 for black friday?
230$ for black version
wow
How does that thing manages the heat?
Really well actually. The LR35R puts out 10K lumens and gets hot almost instantly. This light has much more surface area though and dissipates that heat more easily.
Fenix Destroys the other one. Fenix is like a Star Wars light-saber = no comparison.
I thought my Seaker2 died last week but the tail cap was loose. Olight was quick to reply and sent a tail cap.
I had a tailcap die on my Javelot Pro. Same thing. They replaced it within a few days. Thanks for watching
You did a Fenix review and ended up selling me the Olight. 🤔🤣🤣🤣
Agreed....the Fenix is Useless. I have quite a few Fenix lights, but this one is absolutely Useless with it's crappy beam...
Can you a review or compare the Fenix against the Olight Javolot
Olight Javelot is trash compares to this lmao
@@HmongThao97 according to both web sites javlot 4266 ft beam distance Fenix 3116 beam distance so I guess as a thrower olight is better lmao
I'm hesitating to by a Marauder or LR40R for a looong while... meanwhile there are successors of those ligths available and I still hesitate...
I own 2 ringchain lights (LED LENSER P3 with 25 Lumen) for visiting small caves during my hikes and 2 Two-Cell-AA-Flashlights (MAGLITE MINI one with LED and one with Halogen modded to LED with around 40 Lumen) for emergency situations in my glove box of our cars.
I still can not find any situation where I can really use a M2 or LR50R... except the Wanna-Have-Feeling. ;)
BTW: I love the control wheel of the Olight Marauder 2! But the output of the Fenix is way better, even if it has the same problem as all very high Lumen flashlights have: To bright in some situations.
If you want a flashlight similar in 'wow factor' but far less expensive, I suggest looking at something like a thrunite catapult V6 (Or their new rendition that will be released soon) the single 26650 powered light will throw more than 750 metres, with over 150k candela, basically throwing as far as the fenix but with only 1700 lumens. It's really badass. Holding something that is no longer than 6 inches, and about an inch in thickness, capable of throwing light nearly a kilometre.... is really cool feeling :)
Check out Fenix's HT18 if you want less expensive throw that's still pretty incredible, and in a pretty small package!
Less expensive (Fenix) not cheaper. Great light but I do like the olights versatility a bit more not saying that there couldn’t be some improvements.
When referring to the price, “cheaper” is completely accurate. It is the comparative adjective meaning “lower in price; yet worth more than its cost”.
If I used the term in regards to the build quality, you would be right.
with that many batteries I should be able to charge my car...:)
Fenix
The Marauder seems like a more useful light. It either floods an entire area out to a great distance where you can clearly identify everything in the area without wash out - or you can switch to a super tight spotlight with insane throw. They’re both quality made…just which one is more functional for its intended purpose. Honestly I wouldn’t be upset to own either one…if I was to spend my own money on only one, I’d pick the Marauder.
The tight throw mode on the marauder is not very good, it doesn't throw very far
@@nohcho84 800 meters isn’t very far? What?
Интересно было-бы сравнить Fenix LR50R VS Acebeam X65
I’m fairly certain Alex here said he’d be interested in seeing that LR50R against the Acebeam X65...which I’m interested in as well.
I just got my marauder 2 today.
It Is really amazing light and design but that non replaceable battery is pure evil.
Next month I will buy the LR50R from Fenix.
Thanks for review.
And no. For someone who commented that I must double tab then double tap again for turbo, that is not true for marauder 2.
which is the better flooder in you oppinion?
Ive gone for the Olight despite the non changeable battery. I think for my light use it should last ages.
The Fenix just looks painful to even look at.
C to c for android
Hlo Bro where to get it in India
You dont...Bro
I'd like to see this compared to the Imalent R60C. The Imalent has 18000 Lumens and 269620 candela which equals over 1000 meters. And it sells for $200. I just bought one and it's a beast for sure. It gets hot very fast on turbo though, it only stays at 18000 lumens for about a minute and then cycles down, but because it's so short, the whole torch gets hot and not just the head.
It does really well at 6000 Lumens, and will hold 3300 without cycling down at all.
It's a combination light similar to the Fenix LR50R. Based on this video it seems they have almost identical beam patterns.
I have the imalent mso6 25,000 lumens and the Marauder 2. Imalent fails to compare in brightness, seems olight is the o ly one who does fudge thier lumen number
@@rich-qk7dc Well, it is important to remember that the Marauder 2 is a combination light whereas the MS06 is a pure flood with no center hotspot at all. Therefore, the MS06 isn't going to appear as bright due to it's lumens being spread even throughout.
The MS06 might not achieve it's advertised 25,000 lumens (idk), but I can definitely understand why it might not appear as bright to a 14,000 lumen combination light. I have the Imalent R60C which is a combination light rated at 18,000 lumens, and it's much brighter than the MS06 and has hundreds of more meters throw.
On that note though, I'm returning both the MS06 and R60C. I really like them, but both have the red light issue on turbo, and both are just too small for their rated lumens and get too hot too fast. I understand turbo isn't meant to run for long periods, but they heat up in less than a minute on turbo and the whole flashlight becomes uncomfortable to hold. I wish they made them with longer handles and more heatsinking. I bought the Imalent DX80 which is rated 32,000 lumens and that thing is a beast. And because it's big and has good heatsinking it doesn't get too hot really fast, and the handle doesn't get hot at all.
@@Isaiiahii yeah the heat gotta go somewhere that's how I knew before I bought it it couldn't make 25,000 lumens due to its size, still very happy with it, I did get the Maurada for $225 and got more band for my buck but us flashoholics are never satisfied
LR50R or LR80R?
Well yeah the Olight has "spill". It's a flood light and a spotlight mode. The spotlight mode on the Marauder 2 throws twice as far as the Fenix.
And it isn't anywhere near as useful with that square beam and no spill.
@@MemphisMojo15s that's weird, because I use it a lot. 🤷♂️
@@BuckFudweiser good for spot. Personally, I don't like spot with no spill, but that's just me
Strange, Fenix specs 950m throw and Olight 800m throw. Do the math. However you put it, in this comparison Fenix is the better light. Fantastic combination of throw and flood with more juice.
I own a gazillion high end flashlights and I would and did choose the Olight over the Fenix. The build quality of the light is superior all the way around. I am NOT impressed however with the fact that the lens is plastic and NOT glass. This is something you would never see on my Surefire or Powertac flashlights. Lastly, the fact that the batteries can not be changed is yet another thing that bothers me and Olight needs to rectify this issue with replacement parts down the road otherwise you just have an expensive paperweight at the end of the day.
How does it compare against the MS18
MS18 is Not comparable...
100000 lums 😎
What kind of dumb question is that?
After review this video ill go for the marauder 2...😂
Why? Too much flood, not as much throw..The Fenix has spill and throw.
This can go underwater but can it illuminate while inter water
It stays on but is not recommended to submerge more than a few meters. It’s water resistant but definitely not a diving light.
@@HarleyWood23 i only need to hold it under 1 ft under water every so often as i walk along in the river. any thoughts on the correct one to buy.
Oh yeah. That would be fine. The Fenix has more throw. Under murky water, it may perform better.
@@HarleyWood23 the 40 or the 50 i can't recall why one is better than the other.
Didn't know flashlights had transmissions. 😬
Sure does.hold it up to your ear and you can actually hear the hamsters shifting
The Olight beam is a lot better than the Fenix. As you say, the beam of the Fenix erases the flag, we cannot see it, while the Olight provides that smooth beautiful large flood and its brightness is just spot on, perfect. What's the point of such brightnees in the Fenix if we can't see the object where the main spot is targeting? Thanks for showing the video. Helped me to decide not to go for the Fenix and take the Olight
The point is that you can use one level lower of power and use the light longer.
@@lekkerpruven887 I don't think you understood. You can use a level lower, however the beam spot is too white. You can't see clearly what is the object you are pointing at. Again, Olight as a mucher better beam. Is clear, its flood uniform snd transparent, and you can see clearly the object.
@@TheConfutatis thats just because of poor beamshot spots. If you only use this for such low distances you dont need anything over a few 1000 lumens. Take it to a beach or some more open spaces and you will see that the fenix offers much more light and runtime. The olight definietly has its upsides too, it just depends what youre gonna use it for.
Lame coment. It's like saying a fast car is not good because it goes too fast at max speed. You can always go slower but it is good to know you can go very fast if you want.
I definitely wouldn’t throw either one away but from the video I like the Fénix better.
Hey boss man the Phoenix got it all over the Mirada the Phoenix light is so much better credible
