Olight Warrior 3S 

Valid points.

If you need to attest to the durability an Olight can have, look at the Drain Addict channel. Oliver has been using an R50 Seeker for at least half a decade, and he does not baby his equipment AT ALL.

That’s cool you have some lights to compare against other light companies. I carry a number of Fenix lights myself and they are durable quality lights I’ve not had a problem with. Fenix PD36R v1 1,600 lumen. That comes in at 20,000 candela. But what makes this light even more usable is that the die size LED sst40 is larger than most leds. Only downside to this emitter is its green tint. Fenix PD35 V3 1,700 lumen light. This is one of their flagship lights and is very capable for a smaller light. It uses the SFT40 emitter and produces 350 meters (31,650 candela) of range. BUT…. Recently I’ve tried out Olight Perun 2 mini 1,100 lumen headlamp, with a paltry 160 meter throw. Now you’re probably wondering why I’m comparing a weaker powered headlamp/ light to bigger lights??? Well it’s because of this and this ALONE. The technology that goes into what’s called a “total internal reflector…. Or…. TIR Optic. Olight uses this optic on most their lights as well as this Warrior 3S. In short, that TIR optic makes use of spreading the total lumen output for a more refined and brighter beam. When I tried my Olight Perun 2 mini right angle light on moon light mode it was incredibly bright and useful even at the lowest modes. That’s why I want to try this light out.

What light did you have that was causing you difficulties?

Thanks for sharing your experience! And thank you for your positive feedback on our gear!

I have a dozen OLights, never a single charging issue on even one of them. You must gotten a bad one.

@@typhoonjenkins8330 same

We have some good Olights, and very few bad ones. I appreciate that they keep pushing new products. Competition is good!

Heh. Thanks!

What is the best tactical EDC then? I'd like something with a brighter candella than my M2R pro.

@junktube4000 What is best for one may not be for another. Closest thing I have found to “best” is the Thrunite tn12 pro. Has the same UI Olight is known for. Which in my opinion is the best UI hands down. I just don’t like, although very subtle, the extra bit of “chunkyness” the Olight has to offer, obviously the Olight has the proprietary 21700 with the proprietary charging cord. While the tn12 pro can accept all of the commonly available button top 18650’s I use in my modlite’s, and charges it on the go with a very common usb-c cable. Has a bit more candela than the Olight with all the same great lower admin modes. With that said I almost always grab the modlite 18350 hand held over anything else I just prefer the size because I can drop it in the bottom of my pocket and still pull it out pretty quick with a lanyard I attached to it. For low admin light I use a small twisty keychain light with a quick release magnet I got off Amazon. That way I don’t have to have all the keys in my hand to use it. When I get done with it I just sweep the light over my keys and the magnets usually always connect easily.

@@Tony-sy7ed I'm jealous of your Modlite 18350. After looking into a bunch of flashlights today, I wanted a Cloud Defensive MCH HC, which is cheaper than the Modlites. I think I'd get the version with just one setting (turbo), because I wouldn't want to flip past the low setting mode to get to the high mode. Any thoughts on this light? Should I go for the Modlite instead? I'm shocked to see that the Thrunite tn12 pro is a similar size (thickness) to the warrior mini (which I EDC) and the tn12 has a brighter candela than the M2R pro. I think I'm done with olight. I might also grab a tn12 pro now for comfortable EDC. I saw you also recommended the PD32v2 in other video comments. Do you like the tn12 more than the PD32v2 now, as a budget option? Thanks!

You can’t go wrong with either modlite or cloud. Iv said the same thing about clouds mode selection on the dual head, needs to be high then low and the low isn’t low enough. I’m a fan of clouds color temp but modlite got me in the beginning with the compatibility with surefire scout accessories. Then the batteries that worked in the modlites and surefire DFs also are compatible with other devices I had. My 18650’s are protected so they don’t fit in the cloud lights because they use unprotected cells, unless something has changed. Surefire’s new turbo handhelds should be available pretty soon. But if your open to having many different batteries either one is great. Olight handhelds are great I just don’t like all the proprietary charging system. I think someone else recommended the pd32, maybe. I have recommended the pd36 it has great output but I can’t stand fenix’s UI with output memory. Now I couldn’t recommend either fenix over the Thrunite. I use the moonlight sub lumen output 99% of the time and I want to know when I’m operating a light what output am I getting at turn on. If I hold down the side switch I get very light light and I can ramp up if I need to, if I need all the light I hit the tail switch, there is nothing better than that. If I could get clouds HC output with an admin side switch of the Olight, and the gas pedal tail switch, with an 18350 size, that might be the most game changing light ever made.

Thanks for your feedback!

You use an 18650 torch on your pistols? (legit question)

The recharging capability is also a big seller for Olight, streamlight needs a rechargeable option

I use them daily. But lights are like guns some people just talk about things they haven’t used hint hint.

I have several Olights that have served me well, however I have found that Sofirn and Wurkkos lights are just as good at a third of the price.

@@37gdog Good a what? Are they momentary only lights? They are dozens of "good" lights that all do the same thing. What makes them as good in this context?

@@simulatedzero Output, run time and durability, they just don’t come in fancy colors.

@37gdog The video is about it being a tactical light. No one gives a fuck about your colors. Output over 1.5 to 1.75 amps isn't necessary. Do your lights have momentarily ONLY option? Not "Momentary UnTiL iT cLiCkS". Actual momentary only. If so, what make and model?

@@simulatedzero I don’t care about colors either, or I wouldn’t be buying them. Try and keep up. You can look the lights up yourself, I don’t give two fucks what you buy, I merely pointed out manufacturers that are a third the price and do the same thing. I like when people that say they’re not Olight fanboys get all butt hurt when someone brings up other lights lol.

Thanks for the feedback!

no problem here. I am using headphones.

The flashlight also touched the positive terminal of a 12v car battery while it was being held in his mouth

@@JohnDoe-wz7lw I've looked at some of the info on that case from many years ago now... do you have a link to the source of info that it touched the battery? Thanks!

My main gripe with o light is that they used proprietary batteries and chargers now. Probably because of that incident.

I'm drank paint and blamed the paint manufacturer for not having a warning label

Comment for Al!

found the Olight shill

@@kimbroslic3 Yeah, all the other light brands I own make me a shill. 🤣🤣🤣

I'm just trying to keep up with key lights on the market. Olight has so many new releases it's hard to keep up. And other companies don't release as often.

@@WerkzHolsters i appreciate you doing all of this, no matter the brand.

@@gavin1215 Thanks much Gavin!

Thanks for the feedback!

Thanks for the feedback! If I were to run the light, I would probably go Switchback.

@@WerkzHolsters is there a switchback for this light?

Thanks for the feedback!

What don’t you like about Olight? Can u elaborate?

Appreciate your feedback on this!

What Olight products have you tried? Probably none

Which one is?

Thanks for the feedback!

Why is that?

That's what I said until I was given one as a gift. My Surefire, Streamlights & Fenix are all backups now.

Olight hate is stupid. They are the largest flashlight manufacturer in the world, so they must be doing something right.

@@HSTMachineexactly. Most these fools just hate Olight because they are loyal to their own brands without knowing what the difference is. Bet if they actually tried an Olight they’d change their mind lol
