Olighy flashlights - Orion1876 - 05-25-2020 I have become interested in Olight flashlights recently and they seem to be built very well. Does anyone have experience with an Olight flashlight? If so which one do you have and what are your thoughts about its performance? RE: Olighy flashlights - PJ - 05-25-2020 Well I can kick this one off. For another week or so I will have a Warrior X Pro. Its definitely the nicest flashlight I own but the regular price is also somewhere around $140 so it would also make it the most expensive... by quite a bit. Its crazy bright and seems very well built and refined. I mean it doesn't have any ill fitting parts or burs or anything that would make you think it was cheaply made. If you work in a situation where you need a bright, tactical flashlight I think its definitely worth considering. But if its just something to use occasionally, I can't see paying full price for it. When I did a video on it a few weeks ago it was during a flash sale that took about 30% off the price... I wish that was the regular price. Olight sent me another flashlight or 2... I havent received them yet. For their upcoming flash sale on the 29th. I dont know the details of the promotion yet but depending on the lights included it may be up your alley. RE: Olighy flashlights - Chickenhawk - 05-25-2020 I picked up a few 5 in total on there last sale total was right at $100. I used PJ code which helped. I have only had them for a day so not a lot of time to check them out much. At first look they are built strong the O rings look good and for the size they are bright as hell. The i5T (300) is going to be a huge up grade from my QUANTUM 65 Lumen Pocket Flashlight RE: Olighy flashlights - Orion1876 - 05-26-2020 (05-25-2020, 10:15 PM)PJ Wrote: Well I can kick this one off.

The Seeker II Pro is the main flashlight that will be part of the flash sale on Friday. It seems like it would be a great household/emergency flashlight with its USB charging dock. The freebie for registered users will be a pair of bandanas. Seems like they could be very helpful these days.

I remember the days where I thought that the Harbor Freight free flashlights were pretty good. lol. Now I look at them and laugh (I use them sometimes but not frequently).

That one with the ring that slides back and forth sucks. I think I got water behind the lens of mine almost immediately. Comparing the HF ones with the good ones is fun in videos though..."Here is the cheap crap you get from HF... and here is what a quality one looks like."

Yup, and you don't really realize how bad the HF ones are until you see these other lights. If you never see anything else, the HF ones aren't really that bad. ![]() RE: Olighy flashlights - Orion1876 - 05-27-2020 (05-27-2020, 05:24 AM)MiscellaneousDave Wrote:(05-26-2020, 11:44 PM)PJ Wrote:(05-26-2020, 11:05 AM)MiscellaneousDave Wrote:(05-26-2020, 09:47 AM)Orion1876 Wrote:(05-25-2020, 10:15 PM)PJ Wrote: Well I can kick this one off.

RE: Olighy flashlights - jjaason - 06-04-2020 I don't have an Olight flashlight, but I have Streamlight and Fenix. Under normal circumstances, Fenix FD40 and PD35TAC are the EDC TAC flashlights I use most often. It is cheap and has lumens not less than Streamlight, and is very sturdy. I recommend Fenix more than Streamlight. RE: Olighy flashlights - PJ - 06-04-2020 (06-04-2020, 09:51 PM)jjaason Wrote: I don't have an Olight flashlight, but I have Streamlight and Fenix.
