Weltool LEPs compared: W4Pro vs W5! 

Great Review! I really like the fact that with the more evenly diffused W5, I could see through its hotspot more easily to actually see what you were pointing it at. I want both!

I found out about these by chance, and just LOOKING at it, I could tell the build quality is very good. I think I know what my next purchase is going to be!

I wish the W4Pro was tested against the Astrolux WP3

Great review. Thanks

Do you happen to know if weltool offers a warranty on these lights in the event of an accident or malfunction?

The Owleyes W Pro is an outstanding LEP. The 4M candela is no joke and the quality is good. Probably a step below Acebeam or Olight but I've had no issues. Even have an Owleyes W2 with both emitters swapped for SBT90s. That thing is a monster that can double as a space heater.

Outstanding review but I still don't know which one is best for me! LOL. I do have one of the much older W4 (no Pro or Pro Tac)

Nice! I have a variety of Weltools including a W3 Pro. It's a more reasonable LEP to me. Even at just several feet away, I can see the object actually in the hotspot, no 'white out' effect. Of course, even though it sees far, it's not as far as your lights in the vid but for the size and what it does, again, it's just more reasonable to me.

Great comparison!

With the Olight Odin Turbo being the only LEP I’ve ever hand my hands on, thus far, I’ve just ordered the Countycom LEP offering, the “Maratac DX Reach - Rev 2”, which I believe is made by Lumintop, though I’m not positive about that. I’m wondering if you have an opinion or insight on the Maratac. Did I waste my cash or make a decent buy? Thx.

Could you change an emitter for me?

How do they compare to the fenix LEP 30R?

Thanks for doing a comparison! I compared a Weltool W4Pro with an Amutorch BT35 and I've got to say, I like the white beam that a shine-through style LEP produces. That said, the W4Pro is a much better thrower based on candela. I wonder if the laser is emitted with a shine-through LEP 🤔

Awesome!!!

So with the extension I'm wondering can you use three 22-500s with the W5? Would two 21-700 be a larger power source than three 22-500s?

I like the NATO Bond strap.

and what about astrolux wp3?

Haven’t tested any nitrcore?

What a great review! But I'm still torn. I hate mushy buttons and hold for on/off, but the W5 looks to be a better light overall

Where can you get one of those battery spacers and what would be the keyword to search for one?

I just ordered the w5 for $294 that substantially cheaper than the w4pro. Also got the flip up flood filter, the extension with four 21700 Weltool batteries for $99 total. So double run time and flood. I think I’ll be happy. Thanks for the video and the Memorial Day 30% discount off everything. Excited 😊

Thanks for the analysis! Because of your review, I just bought the W4 Pro, and cannot be disappointed in any way by its performance. There are two differences with mine versus the one you tested here: 1) the W4Pro I have does not converge like what yours shows here as the beam stays tight and focused like what you'd expect from a laser profile, and 2) the memory issue is resolved, as the mode returns to Low every time it turns off... I will say though, that the formula for the near perfect LEP is here in these 2 models. Weltool just needs to marry the side mode switch with a sunken protected tailcap activation of the two lights, combined with the knurling of the W5 and the beam performance of the W4Pro and they have a near perfect LEP light.

Are they really better than xsword lep's? Especially l2kd???

Aren't shine through's supposed to be cheaper? Because they're slighty lesser performers than mirror types? I really like the designs of the weltools. They look really good but way too expensive for the common Joe like me hahaha. I love your videos

I just returned my Olight Maurauder 2 just because I wasn’t impressed with it for the price. I’m looking for a replacement now.

Are these actually useful at all? I feel like at the distances they’re good at, it’s so far away you can hardly see anything. I’m intrigued by LEPs, but I can’t see how they’d actually be used. I know you kind of touch on it a little at the end, that all they do is put bright spots kms away but would be interested if you actually have any use cases for lights like this.

lol another awsome video keep on keepin on ill see you in the next one also i need to get an LEP light one day lol

Ok I bought the W4proTac and the W5 to decided which one I like. The reviewer is spot on. Which light do you want? W4pro is a narrower beam, brighter, gets hotter, a lot less run time especially without extension tube. OR W5 slightly wider even beam, more even white balanced hot spot, a lot less spill, less brightness, usable low beam, side switch, double run time with extension, doesn’t get hot, and a little heavier with the same extension tube. The W5 is the same price as the W4pro even after buying two 21700 and the extension tube. The W5 is more “usable” I believe in real world scenarios because of runtime and beam pattern. But if Welltool made an extension for the W4pro then the difference between the 2 would be heat, brightness, distance, and beam width which the W4pro excels. Ugh I can’t decide.

You didn't list the Maxtoch Owl Eyes W Pro in your list.

Trying to determine the purpose of these style of lights..

What is the beam distance ?

Do another W5 test with extension tube and 2 21700 batteries.

please get your hands on the new W5 asap!! :0

I'd recommend getting a bunch of 1mm.x3mm. neodymium magnets for a few bucks to use instead of button tops. You can stack them if necessary in the extension tube and they're hard to lose. I never buy button top batteries.

And next, they say the ovnis are here ...

I wonder how many people around there just roll their eyes and go "Oh, the flashlight guy is at it again out there". haha

Could this be used in a self defence situation?

Why are they so exspensive ? 300-400 $ for laser flashlight?

I can’t get these in the UK .

What’s LEP?

You put in lumintop 1 and 2 but not 3 it doesn’t make sense.

I feel wel tool pro 5 is better

Thanks, they both have faults that would stop me.

"One of these LEPs is the best LEP on the market" - looks at Acebeam W50 lol (actually I forgot you need to be in some sort of profession to be able to buy it) Very nice review though!

i 1

They're sold out 😢

Acebeam W30 is the best.

High price

OMG Cheule! Why in a God sake you prefer low mode first! High mode only or High mode with no memory always! You are an American guy? Americans are hunters, soldiers, survivalists, they like guns like no one on the planet earth. Hunting, defending, zombie apocalypse... No matter! You want that on High mode for various reasons! You surely will not cycle through, like With W5(disgusting mode selection :( ) ... HIGH ONLY!

dany zang is an awsome name lol hope leaving all these comments help you out lol and i watch the full video as well and i know that helps lol

also brother are you gettng my messages or no i cant tell so yeah ill figure it out at somepoint god bless brother

i like the W5 looks better even tho there very close
