Olight X9R Marauder | 25,000 Lumens! 

inb4 #thatswhatshesaid

As a retired Tool & Die Maker, I can respect and understand the machining quality of this TORCH!! I have 7 O lights now... this will be number 8 !! You demonstrated the long range in your video, that is what I was looking for. I have just over 100 acres of land, this will be perfect!! Thanks!!

We'll never know how many stashes were flushed in those apartments. Reminds me of the days when police choppers first used daylighters. That'll wake you up. Thanks for sharing, Talon.

And then Talon said “Let there be light!” Perfect for search and rescue.

I love flashlights and buying things I don't need.... finally something that satisfies both.

This is now my favorite light. I just got it today so I don't have tons of time with it but it has all the nice touches that only Olight can do, or will do. They cost more because they put more into their lights. I had the Imalent DX80 and it is much brighter and easier to handle because it is shorter, the head is wider to accommodate the extra couple of chips and that is how they can make it brighter. The DX80 is also much less money and that it a good enough reason for most to go with that one, and I would blame them at all. All that being said, I'm happier with this Olight X9R because of the quality way of building it and the way you operate the light. It works just like all my other Olights and the DX80 works the exact opposite and I hated that. Every time I turned it off, it would go brighter and when I wanted brighter, it would turn off. Now that seems like something you can easily adjust to, but I never could, so after three months, when I had a major problem with the DX80, I sent it back and decided not to replace it with another one, I chose to get the Olight instead and I'm already used to it, I love it. I do landscaping and need to light up yards when my clients get home sometimes, just to talk about the work and with a light like this, it puts me in business on a Tuesday evening instead of waiting for the weekend. I also have the X7R that is 12,000 lumens so the two of these together is great. If you are on the fence as to what to get and you aren't crazy like me, just get the X7R, it is so much smaller and easier to carry around and is still really bright. It's half as bright but also half the price, or less. I love the way the X7R fits in my hand, it feels great, much better handling than this big X9R. The X9R needs to be really big to accommodate the batteries or it wouldn't last very long. If you have a use for it, get it, if it's just for fun, get it because it's lot's of fun. Great warrantee as well and that's nice for such and expensive light. I have 9 Olights and I like them all.

So basically this is a 6400 lumens flashlight :) And as a bonus, you got the ability to blind an UFO pilot.

So is there an AR mount for it?

Even at the $450 I paid during their Flash Sale I ended up sending the X9R back to Olight. Why? It offers a massive wall of light ONLY with very little actual throw. Such little throw that I was immediately frustrated. If you're hoping that the X9R is going to be a Combination Thrower/Flood, think again. Yes, it's a massive, well-built light AIR COOLED light (no active cooling, so it gets very 🔥!) If your goal is to Flood a 5 acre lot or a football field for 90 seconds? this will do that. If you spent the $600 post flash sale and you still decided to keep it, more power to you. Personally, ACEBEAM is on the Cutting edge of Flashlight tech. I'm anticipating the X70⚡️

Is that an X9R Maurauder in your pocket...

‘Pass it down to future generations of the Sai’s. Is that a thing? Hope not." Lol same bud, same. 😂 😂

Very enlighting video Talon!

That thing is badass man, I love my s1r baton turbo but this thing is sick... love the videos talon

Holy shit! This thing nearly blinded me… through my phone screen

Now its 600 bucks!

Awesome! Great video sir!

Anyone else googled Welding Glasses? Will they even help....? I just got me a S1R , and even in Daylight , Turbo is amazing. Very impressed by the Quality and Innovation Olight shows in their Designs ! Greetings , and ThX for the nice review. I was really wondering ,how it would look, if U would be Flashing the light at Greater Distances........500 Meters diff Modes ect...

"Hey! Turn that down, it's hurting our eyes" - Martians

Of course it never fails that a small voice from behind me says 'Why would you ever need that and what a waist of money' my response will never change ' because I can'.

Now that is what I call a bright light

Have you reviewed any brighter flashlights in the last 2 years?

This is a really nice light. Bought one last year. Used it one time and then put it away. I look at it as a conversation piece but would not want to use it too much and get it all scratched up. Not sure if you have tested the Powertac X10,000 but that is an incredible light. Best build quality in the marketplace with the exception of the Surefire UDR DOMINATOR. They are not as bright as the Olight but for real life S&R you can't beat them. I enjoy your videos and am a subscriber.

And we wonder where all those aliens lights come from 😂

The X9R is an Over-Hyped flood king ONLY! I was so completely Underwhelmed, I actually sent my X9R Back to Olight wishing five days of buying one during their over-hyped Flash Sale! Total throw? There no more than 300 yards. Actual lumens tested? 20,000. BUY the Fenix RC40 2016 Edition, it's a great combination light that holds its battery strength and it performs beyond your expectations.

Physicists: lightsabers are an impossible idea. Olight: hold my beer...

This light is like Espada XL in the flashlight world.

‘A thing of beauty is a joy forever ‘

My acebeam claims to do that but doesn't have the throw. It does have red, green, blue and a black light setting plus its much smaller. One thing that is a cause for concern is it will make objects . Paid 175 for the acebeam x80 with 4 batteries included. This light is to expensive for one made by olight. My olight ISO3 worked for 10 minutes. My olight SST50 m31 triton has had issues with the threads on the tailswitch practically since I got it and now it doesn't even want to turn on. My xtar D35 dive light started leaking water but its been a trooper and came in handy for some uses it wasnt intended for. It definately made one hell of a good club and still works. My Nitecore TM11 finally needs a new battery holder and the glass lens wont stay on either. I am debating sending it in for repair but don't know what nitecore will say when they see I spot welded it back together. I wish there was one with a magnet on the tail end which would push about 1000 lumens of flood. The xtar meteor just doesn't have the light needed. Recently I felled a 50 ft tall palo verde tree using no natural light without any issue. Was using acebeam x80, Olight x7 marauder, Nitecore TM16 and my old faithful xtar D35. My hat had a streamlight led light on it. My headlamps now wont stay on my head due to the elastic being gone. My fenix HL? wont stay at one angle longer then a few seconds. I have a few old fenix lights but really would like a polarion Nite reaper or PH50. If not polarion then maybe a hellfire or something military grade.

Olight definitely makes Tough products! Love that they are using xhp70.2 emitters

I've been wanting something like this to get back at the people with their high beams on without me having to bright light everyone else on the road.

Lol I just imagined a cop trying to use this hahahaha lol

@Talon Sei, those cases are probably made by Pelican. I travel with my camera gear in similar cases.

Jesus! The size of the damn thing!!!

Working security... I think I'd get in trouble with this light. Lol

Love the blog man! I've learned a ton about cinematic content from your vlogs. What you feel about the longevity as compared to the big boys like streamlight and surefire

What is the real true throwing distance?

I want to see the beam. all I saw was trees

Missing the pocket clip

Like a rechargable spotlight, with more features, better build quality, better materials, more attention to detail, hell, it's just more better!

Just got mine today you helped me a lot talon

Whats funny is how fast technology is moving,the keychain flashlight U have will outshine the X9R in the not too distant future

I highly appreciate your work

Love this light of a very big beam now the fire department and police should have it plus the military as well. I have the little o lite micro one sweet.

That is an awesome flashlight. Will they ever sell that in stores. Thanks for the demonstration on how bright that flashlight is. From. Mark. Derry. Nh

EDC??

That's crazy! I have a Nitecore tm28. I thought that was pretty bright.

Bro that light is sick

NITECORE!

It would be good at discouraging bears etc

$600+tax $640 for this flashlight no way! For the same price I will get the Imalent, MS18, 100,000 lumens!

Imagine if they use this light on horror films 😂

"Is that a thing? Hope not." Lmao

light should have ultra low mode.. i would immedi8atly buy !

Its nice but for 600 dollars it should run turbo longer than 3 minutes.

Hmm... I can get this or an old Jeep Cherokee.. Tough choice.

the only issue it has a noticeable hot spot, not floods as i thought

How long the charge last on it in operations

I think maybe the reason it's getting some dislikes is that he did it in amongst a clump of trees when he could have shined it across the field a mile away onto those buildings. Of course another part would be that people just don't want a light like that, it's way too big. You could hardly fit the damn thing in the front seat of some cars.

Companies need to figure out how to get a light like that to last at least 1 to 2 hours on full power 3min is crazy. So you pay for the 3 minutes pretty much then it goes down to most hand held lights.

Could you imagine hitting a mugger in the eyes with this light? They would be BLINDED for minutes.

I don’t know if you’d be interested in a fixed blade talon but I think it’d be cool for a stuff and things and personally I think you’d like the knife it’s the sog pillar and it comes with a kydex sheath and it’s a low profile knife thanks for the content 😁

Is the spill overpowering when on the high lumen levels?

If you could only choose one favourite flashlight what would it be ?

Light brighter than my future

Can I just play this video and hold the phone up?

Would the I1R-EOS servive a life on the key ring of my quad ? It would see extreme vibration and dust .

Was just watching and thought I'd buy the i1r EOS. All of a sudden came up on Amazon lightening deal! How serendipitous is that??!! (cool story).

What's the euphoric element of just walking with a flashlight through the dark? I find it very satisfying. It's like pyromania but less dangerous.

on ebay you can buy a 32,000lumen skyray with a bigger lens on its about £30 i bet this was £100s

Is it just me or does the pattern look choppy??

Don't aim at the sky otherwise the batman will come

I have a few mid size 1000 to1200 lumens but I am looking for a fairly strong small flashlight u can just clip on your keychain or small jean pocket.

Can you turn off proximity sensor (if it has one) and burn paper with this?

That pewdiepie 'hmmm' refrence. Nice

It literally lit up the hotel

I don't know if that's quite enough flashlight for me, to be honest. I'm really looking for something I have to hold with 4 hands

I'm surprised that light doesn't have a water cooled radiator!

That was sick!! Great one Talon.

can you send delivery in UAE? i need one pcs. i will pay full payment.

Does it come with a helmet mount and an auto maximum mode when a car puts HighBeam on you.

Do you know if there is any legal issues being that the light is so bright? I know your not a lawyer. Just wondered if you knew anything about it.

Where can you get these at? I’m sure they can be purchased cheaper than $600. Thanks

Good video, but I would never buy any of those gazillion-lumen flashlights. I would be extremely concerned about accidentally shining it close into someone's (or my own) eyes. Do you know of anyone who has gotten into trouble shining massive flashlights like this at aircraft?

When will they have light mount for a 20mm picatinny rail that will fit this light

oh shit dude I live in Miami as well. nice too se other people into edc down here

Oh yeah!

Beam sux. For the price with the flight just go with the seeker 2. 1/3 the price. Go with the javelt pro. Better beam. Also 1/3 the price. Low time does not compare

That is an incredible light, but for commercial usage at that price. 8 levels of light seems like too many to cycle through, 4 would suffice IMO. The on/off method needs to be designed for a more direct way to turn it on high, and I would like a way to disable the strobe, removed from the button cycling. But the key dislike is the handle diameter, wow it's thick. Seems too big and heavy. I love LED light technology, I have 10 different flashlights with CREE LEDs, using 18650 as well as 26650 batteries. Awesome technology, great subject matter for a video. Great review! Thanks!

Not even shadow people can hide from this 😂😂

I'd leave that protective coverl on unless the lens is glass (and with what that costs, it should be)

Pretty cool video.

Hands down, your video is stuning. That's how to present a beasty light. Many thanks

Price plz

Excellent video.

It's hard to believe. How can it be if the helicopter's searchlight has 25.000 lumens?

That's a big ass unit

I’m sorry I’m blind , is that light bright ?

Only 3 minutes on max? I'm not a flashlight expert but that seems kinda short

My point being 1984, that for $300 less than the X9R, I far and away prefer my Fenix RC40 2016! Anyone who requires a brighter combination light than the RC40 2016, well......You're simply over-compensating. I knew, I KNEW that when Olight hyped this light for two years, that two things would happen...1. That other company's would easily surpass it (see Acebeam) because it took Olight forever to come up with what is, a TOTAL flood light and 2. That X9R wouldnt come close to meeting let alone exceeding he hype that Olight pumped into this thing. $600 is a total waste of resources for the X9R. If I didn't get one during the flash sale for $450, I wouldn't have bought one. As it is, the light was such a bitter disappointment that I returned it! Wait until 2022 when lights this size will be a thing of the past.

I’m not sure how I got here, but is the sale still going on? 🤞
