Olight M2R Pro Warrior | A True Upgrade (w/ Beam Shots) 

Very nice step up for the extra $20! Amazing to see that output in a relatively small package. Thanks for the great review Sean!

I genuinely love both of these lights. My only gripe is that the original M2R tail cap loves to attract ferrous material and turn on by itself as a result.

That’s a sweet light Sean! Glad to see you picked one up. I unfortunately didn’t but wish I could’ve. Amazing loking light. Still want even a standard pen but whatever. Great review! 👍🏼

Of all the improvements I love that they changed the battery direction.

can you do comparison between m2r warrior pro vs. seeker 2 pro.

Great flashlight ! Well designed and well made. Good review, thank you sir !

I wasn't a fan of the M2R at all, if anything I preferred the M2T which had the rubberized tail switch; but I'm a big fan of this M2R Pro. I've started EDC'ing it. I never pocket-carried a light this large and heavy but it actually carries very well.

I've been waiting for this video. I think I am going to get this one to put into the backpack as a backup. For some extra light output to my S1R II. Thanks for another outstanding comparison and review!

Nice light for sure! Thanks for sharing!

Nice light with some new upgrades as nice review and info as it does have a nice sized beam while shining on the shed in the yard....Good stuff....

I dig the camo look

Just picked one of these up to mount on my bike! Great review btw!

Very good review. I really liked how you showed how much better the stats are and should be with the new version due to the bigger more powerful battery. I like the beam pattern much better on the Warrior Pro. I couldn't tell on camera that you could see all the same things even with the more defined hot spot. I really like that light. Hopefully I can win a GAW that someone does with one or on another sale pick it up discounted some. If not when I get the $$ I will get it then. Thanks for the review and the reasons why the Warrior Pro is a better light.

Excellent review brother! 👍🏻

i can put every battery in the pro and still charge it with usb is that because off the EU law that says we need to be able to charge everything without comprimses. What you Think?

I actually won a black one of these. It's my first olight that isn't one of the tiny keychain ones. I love it. It's my SAR and around the house light.

Great review, Thank you for your time.

Liked and subscribed. I really like your channel and your honest reviews. I really like that camo! Had enough of the plain black Maglights in the past, which project like a candle compared to an Olight.

Good light. Very good review.

I would love the M2R Pro in black

I have the older M2R and it is one tough light. In fact it is indestructible!

I like your videos man, but I wish you didn't turn off comments on the s2r baton pro video because I have a question about a statement you made in it. I don't have a s2rii or pro, but the comment directly relates to my purchase decision. You stated that once you use the 1 minute turbo you cannot use it again until you recharge the battery. Is that true? On most of my other high lumen lights you can't use turbo again until it cools down below the thermal protection limit. I mean I know you get less lumens on turbo if you have a FET driver as the battery depletes, but I figured these olights have regulated driver. So can you only use turbo for the one minute essentially once on the s2r baton pro until you recharge to 4.2 volts? even if the light temperature is at room temp/below thermal protection limit? Thanks man! Thanks for the great videos. I really liked this comparison as I think I want the warrior too!

Great review man..i agree with you. Just remember the M2R has to be in Tactical Mode to get 1,500 Lumens...i hate they did that..lucky the M2R Pro isnt that.

Just went back and watched this video again to see if you EDC this light. I am debating if it is too big or not. Love the tactical four wheeler at the end lol. What's your thoughts on edcing this? I usually edc the baton s1r II

Which is best for self defense strobe? The more pleasing yellow or the more annoying white (the old version). I am guessing it’s the strobe pattern versus the color temperature but I’m new to this. If you have a different recommendation let me know?

the M2R can charge any battery, the pro can only charge olight proprietary battery

How do you think this light would work for hunting the m2r pro warrior ? For blood tracking and also getting out to the stand early morning

Nice but I've already gotten the M2R, M2T & SEEKER-2. 😎

That camo M2R is really cool looking! Has some great features for a self defense sort of light as well. Thanks for sharing!

olight really hates rear clickies eh?

What about the strobe feature, can you access it from the tail switch?

Good video

I'm after a more defined hot spot, glad I watched this vid.

But I've got a Seeker-2.😐

I’m keeping my M2R. They had to go and muck it up with those stupid crenellations.

got bored first minute of this vid.

Bro how would you compare the m2r pro to lumintop fw3a/fw1a

When you did the back yard light tests, did you have the M2R in Tactical Mode? Because if you didn't, the Turbo mode is only 1000 lumen. While Turbo is 1500 lumen in Tactical mode. You'll notice the M2R box says Turbo mode is 1500 or 1000, then steps down to 700. And that is because Tactical mode enables 1500 lumen Turbo mode. While I like the additional capacity of the 21700 battery, on the Pro, the 300 additional lumens are barely noticeable. I prefer a non-proprietary button/flat top 18650 battery, that I can purchase for $6, over a $27 proprietary 21700, any day. I do own the camo M2R Pro, but I won't buy another. I just got it back from a six month trip to China, for the firmware repair. After only getting to use it for 4 weeks, before the faulty firmware "bricked" it. I have 2 black, and one copper M2R, and they all can charge, and function, using flat, or button top 18650 batteries. I also own 3 of the Seeker 2 Pro's, and a Blue Seeker2. Even though the Seeker series uses the same proprietary battery as the M2R Pro, they can still function(but not charge) fine with the $15 button top 21700 batteries I own.Whereas the M2R Pro ONLY functions with the proprietary 21700 battery. I'll have to say, Olight going to lights that only FUNCTION using their proprietary batteries, is going to cost them some sales. Most users will give that issue a "pass", if they could still operate the light, and not be able to use the internal charging, using cheaper, non-proprietary batteries.

Hi Sean. Excellent really in depth review. The S2r pro was visibly another version of the S2r but the M2r pro seems like a whole new flashlight. A high quality piece of equipment for profesionals such as yourself, law enforcement or firefighters, rescue etc. I really like that leather belt sheath for your S2r, it turns a standard light into something that could be worn anywhere. As always, good health and stay safe my friend.

What kind of reflectors are in the modules? Is it smooth or orange peel?

It doesn't work with any 21700 ..........Apart from that great review .........

“En-light-ening! Great deep carry.

Looking for your advice, i want a flashlight for in the truck glove box (ie changing a flat). debating between the M2R Pro Warrior and the Seeker 2. Priced the same currently. your advice as to which one of the two would be best and any other types you'd suggest? thanks in advance

A color change is not an upgrade.

Lol man really does hate the baton pro.

Use no light show for reall

Love my Olight units, but I don't see the point in M2R Pro. My M2R is great as, on top of I've acquired the Seeker 2 that is fantastic! The Seeker 2 is my last flashlight. Really...it is!

Seeker 2 pro is the best all around light.

Great another olight I need to get

I've seen in other videos that other 21700 cells will not work in the Pro. Olights 21700 is a little bit longer than a typical 21700. That much I know firsthand, because it will not fit in plastic storage cases for 21700 batteries. Having said that, I definitely love my M2R Pro Warrior, but I got to say, I still love my older M2R Warrior almost as much.

Great comparison that pro looks awesome! That camo is sweet thank you for telling it like it is 👌🏽 sometimes the improvement is worth it

21700 kept me away. Had already ordered it when I found that out. Olight customer service was great and they canceled it. But I've got a pile of 18650 batteries and can't swap to something else for a power source.
