Surefire g2x pro/6px Pro vs Olight M2R Pro 

Correct 4.5 min at 1800, then 145 min at like 750 (still more lumen than the SUREFIRE) then 45 min at 250 lumen before the batt is drained... The Olight beats the SUREFIRE by every measure

@@raging_rhino2582 I think you meant to say Surefire...not Streamlight

@@informedcitizen8687 ya I didn't mean to disparage brother... Corrected TY

Raging_Rhino except for price and being made in China. Oh and the Surefire is much simpler to use.

Bama_Outdoors76 everything that’s made in China isn’t junk.

I love my 6p I run it at 9v with the a19 extension and a malkoff drop in

What was wrong?

@@freefieldtraining Lets see, M2R Pro not MR2 Pro. The Olight steps down from 1800 lumen's to 750 lumen's after 4.5 minutes. If you let the light cool you can get turbo aka 1800 lumen's again for another 4.5 minutes with out recharging. This can be done several times before turbo is unavailable. From a full charge the Olight will run for 2 hours and 40 minutes at 750 lumens then step down to 250 lumens for an additional 40 minutes. The Surefire is only 600 lumens for 1 hour 30 minutes. Sure you can hot swap batteries just buy as many spares as you want. Part number ORB-217C50. With the light in default mode a quick half or full press of the tail switch will give you medium or turbo constant on while a long half or full press will give you momentary medium or turbo. If you change to tactical mode the tail switch is half press is turbo while a full press is strobe for as long as the button is pressed. Your beam shot method is flawed. Shinning lights down an ally and seeing them reflect off of a reflective surface is not a good test. Since Surefire does not give Candela or throw distance I have no idea how far the G2X Pro will throw but no where near as far as the M2R Pro. Watch some flashlight reviews that have useful beam shot comparisons with the camera in manual mode and start testing in a similar fashion.

@@billb410 I'm not a flashlight channel. I can only report on the way the light I am given operates out of the box.

@@freefieldtraining , He's telling you exactly what it will do out of the box. You don't have to do anything special to make it work.

@@BrassStacks no he is not telling anything about the light period.

The olight 21700 battery is a Proprietary battery sheesh🤡🤡🤡🤡. I know someone already told you that but you might be too stupid to actually get it. So I’m telling you again. And no the olight turbo mode of 1800 is a joke at best. It gets way to hot to hold after a minute. And what happens when you need to charge that proprietary battery??? Your down a light for hours? You can’t hot Swap batteries unless you buy another olight Proprietary battery. But how do you charge that proprietary battery outside the light? Normal battery chargers will not work with olights Proprietary batteries since they have both a positive and negative on one side. So a 18650 or 2 cr123a compatible flashlight is the way to go. And if that proprietary battery fails you’re down a light for about a week or so until I can get you a new proprietary battery. Not every light will work for everyone. People have different needs and different use case for there light. Is the m2r pro And it’s proprietary battery works for you that’s great.

" One option is a light press is momentary turbo at 1500lm and a hard press it stays on when released" This is NON-TACTICAL MODE, and it is ONLY 1000 lumen, momentary or constant, on tail switch. And the side switch TURBO, is only 1000 lumen in this mode. "The other option is momentary turbo with a light press and momentary strobe with a hard press." This is TACTICAL MODE, and it is 1500 lumen, momentary turbo or momentary strobe, on tail switch. And the side switch TURBO, is 1500 lumen in this mode. This is ONLY for the M2R, not the M2R Pro.

yes please keep us posted I am curious

Any update?

Well can say after doing patrols in -45 and using it, it hasn't let me down. I plug it in to charge every few days. I absolutely love it!

Why? Because it's cheaper? Or it's claimed lumens that last 4 min and overheats and reduces. Surefire will last longer is my guess. So surefire wins hands down.

@@fordsrule35 LOL, ok

Winner because of 1800 lumens? How about some beam quality? Or the quality itself? Do you need that 1800 lumens at all times or 600? Do you need strobe at all times? And it will cost you for just another 21700 olight batteries. For surefire g2x you can cr123, rechargeable 16340/rcr223a, and rechargeable 16650 so you only need 1 battery unlike for 16340s you need 2 of them

@@yourfilipinotv6477 Olight 1800 for 4min then 750 lumens for 160mins (which is also BRIGHTER than the output of the surefire) then you can run turbo again at any time.. it only will stay at 1800 lumens for 4 minutes because of heat not because of battery life

Olight m2r beam is more quality than any surefire, it got decent hotspot that help in candella and throw while still lighting out surrounded it.. thats because it use newer TIR lens while that overprice surefire still using an old tech reflector.. and surefire that run on cr123 will get dim overtime and it costly having to stockpile that cr123.. you should own both than you will understand why im bit upset with surefire.. not much i can see with it when i mount it on my hunting AR.

nexlight holster

I wouldn’t use a rechargeable as a duty light. Just my opinion.

@@greekindependence why’s that?

@@greekindependence yes fair enough, but I’d like to know why you’d prefer not to use a rechargeable?

@@MegaLynchman dont listen to him. that probably the worse opinion i've ever heard when it comes to duty lights, ive had the olight mr2 pro for about a year now and its been nothing but good to me, i work night security and i trust my life to this "rechargeable" light every week

@@StrangeSwag thanks I did buy one in the end, it’s great, I’m not too keen on the tail cap switch as it’s very easy to accidentally put it in turbo, but other than that, I’ve got no complaints

But 16650ies

YourFilipino TV correct sit Surefire honest on lumens

Too simple. It's very limited. The comparison of these two lights is not fair. The M2R Pro Warrior is flat-out better.

@@r.w.7232 Way sure if you want the gay strobe feature and a million different modes that's fine

@@nelsonr1467 Huh? There are only five. Moonlight, which is very useful, low, medium, high and turbo. How is that too complicated for you?

@@r.w.7232 In a high stressful environment you do not want to be playing around through different modes, you want on/off that's it.

@@nelsonr1467 Oh geez, you got to be kidding me bro. You cannot be that inept. I'm thinking the old school Eveready flashlight where all it has is an on-off switch would probably suit you best. LOL

I'm not making it out to he anything. I own both.

Olight has let me down. My m2r pro stopped charging and I contacted olight. I sent my light in and they sent it back saying there is nothing wrong with the light the battery is the problem. Ok should the battery be covered by the five year warranty? Nope. So I purchased a new 21700 battery from olight and I got it in. The light worked for a few days and when I tried to put it back on the charger it never charges. So I took my olight warrior charger and tried that one. I know that one works. Still nothing the charger light always stays green never switches to red. My m2r pro is a paper weight. I guess I’m out over 150 dollars and got to use the light for 3 months. I called olight again and emailed them we will see what that say. Should’ve bought a surefire or a Streamlight. 1800 lumns is a nice number but now I get zero.

@@michaelpersaud4587 sounds like the charging cord or your wall brick.nothing to do with the light

Your 50% right there is no comparison Olight is Chinese made trash that fail all the time there's a reason Surefire is the flashlight of choice by professionals.

@@ozinga614 I ditched my department issued crappy Surefire a while ago for Olight Warrior X as my duty light with the S12 Baton as my lapel light and SR95-UT as my spot light. They've never let me down even in harsh conditions and I can charge them in my patrol car on the go.

My surefire Back up E1B has been going for 10+ years with not 1 issue. Many drops and been in water many times. That's damn amazing in my opinion.

Just honest feedback.

Agree. I have had Olights fail to charge. When my life depends on a light it is Surefire. Now I have a Olight weapons light and it works great.

Surefire is good. But I’m looking into modlite and malkoff lights. If I’m going to spend the money I might as well go all out.

Surefire does not over heat. Cr123 batteries are better. Moonlight mode eh low lumens is fine on the surefire. Holster is a non issue if you pocket carry. Surefire will last longer most likely. I'd go with surefire and support an American company since I'm American. Surefire for the win.

@@fordsrule35 Rather give your money to tyrants for a piece of crap?

Paying more but will getting less on surefire.. its normal for a high power light to heat up, but m2r heat is still reasonable not too overheat till cant hold it with barehand, it got timer stepdown.. In 2020 600lumen is nothing.. now even a cheap chinese brand such as astrolux, sofirn also make more than 5k lumen.. if you think that surefire will last long, than why olight cant ? it got decent quality and material.. cr123 for a long time use, you will spending lot of money on it.

"Hi mode is only good for blinding somebody " That is maybe the main purpose for them. I think LE is their main customer not civilians.

Lol fan boy idiots, 1800 for 4.5min and 750 like 2 hour, anyway still better then that garbage over price surefire, anyone with knowledge about flashlight wouldn't buy surefire overpriced flashlights that inferior with just a name

EpicWins Well considering I’ve had to depend on a flashlight of some sort for the last 18 years with my job🤔 I would say I have a pretty good knowledge of flashlights and what brands work and don’t work. I’m not a fanboy of any brand..... Olight makes a decent light, just not a hard use light for longevity. If you had any knowledge of how lights worked and lumens rated. You would see that Olight over exaggerates on their lumens.

@@Joe.dirt7909 I know a lot of people who have used Olights hard, and would disagree with your claim that they aren't for hard use. Sounds like SureFire marketing, because that is exactly how SureFire marketed their products.

beaker2000 Key word “you know someone”.....🙄

@@DvBattlegears Come back to me after your Olight has been working for 12 years like my surefire and we'll talk.

Disagree. Surefire is a better flashlight and will last longer.

@@fordsrule35 Sure, sure. SMH

I have owned 8+ olights at this point. At least 5 were purchased directly from olight and the 2 times I've contacted customer service I got responses right away and in the one case, they shipped the part I needed to fix a light that same day ( all under warranty no cost to me ). Fenix also makes great lights, I've had a few of them as well. You may want to check Nitecore as well if your shopping around.

Never had a problem with Olight i own 4 lights all are great

I don't get gear advice from anyone who buys from an approved list... That's like buying MILSPEC... Why would I limit myself to the minimum gov acceptable standard built by the lowest bidder? I had a Fenix, not bad but like nitecore has side switch issues and Batts cook off faster (assume it's a circuitry issue, they warranty replaced it... Same results with the new one

They did have order issues back a few years ago but all that got sorted out when they started doing flash sales last year

@@Brandon_Neil I have 6 Olights I had dropped one off a roof onto concrete I called to order parts they swapped it out under warranty... They earned my business
