id say it means it will run at 2000 lumens for a minute , then back off to 700 lumens and last an hour , it would be a safety / preservation feature to stop the LED and internals getting too hot and burning them out . i had a small 1800 lumen torch that i burnt the LED in cause i played with it too long on turbo mode
Hi Mark i needed to replace my old 6 cell maglight and after watching your review i took a chance on it and used your disount code to order the c2 and h5, to my surprise the c2 makes my maglight look like a candle and will be a good backup on my bike to charge my phone! To top it off they sent a free triple A powered headlamp. Thanks Ian
The breathing mode is for if you are having a storm or anticipate a storm in your area, and you know it's coming within an hour or 2, you can activate the illuminating power switch and easily find the light should the power go out.
Most of these lights run the claimed lumens (sometimes ) for about a minute to two minutes before being capable of only about half claimed lumens so probably in this case 700 or less. There are some interesting YT channels out there who rigorously test these in every way possible and very rarely find claimed specifications or when they are achieved last for very short periods at claimed specs.
Glad to see you have decided to not shill for Olight. Keep up the awesome content! Personally wouldnt buy one but thats because Im a flashlight enthusiasts already🤣 For the average person dont touch olight and save some coin and buy wuban, convoy, sofirn, wurrkos. Thrunite, nitecore and Fenix have budget options too. Don't forgot, color of the light matters alot. Look for Hi CRI lights if you arnt just chasing lumens. Anything 80+cri will be pleasing to the eyes.
Thanks Mark, it's fun when you convert your measurements into the American equivalents. It saves me from looking it all up. Our bikes and cars are metric, but our lengths and weights are still in SAE. This is what Google is for. Google was created just for Americans to look up measurements. Thanks for kidding along with me... Texas
Small, powerful and Made in China, which is a firm no from me thanks. Maybe when they stop harming Aussie exporters I’ll consider it, but until then you’d do well to plug products made somewhere other than China.
@@BikerBits research alternatives! China is intent on the world being dependent on them. The only way to stop that is to find and promote alternatives and for people to actually pay the difference. Chinese stuff is cheap because their government provides many subsidies including electricity and export costs. Chinese manufacturers never pay for the actual costs any producer in another country would have to. There is no level playing field here so if we don’t support alternative manufacturing then it will soon disappear. I don’t blame you personally, it’s just an awareness thing. Fortunately another well known Aussie Motorbike RU-vidr does cover this, I hope others will also. Cross Training Enduro - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Veh90IU3gUU.html
@@SimonBrisbane Yeah Simon I totally understand how it all works! Can you help rather than just commenting "Research Alternatives" be part of the solution and give me the Alternative! It all starts with you, me and everyone else. I'd be very surprised if your house didn't have Chinese made products... let alone the clothes on your back. Cheers... Mark
