Y’all watching this better find ways like buying merch and giving money to support our boys because they’re the most handsomest and they maybe kiss super well. Also gun companies you need to support the channel by supplying items and new product to show off.

Olight is the official light of the homies in da hood. They heard it was a cop killer and haven't stopped loving it since.

9:58 "you can tell it's dry ice because of the way it is" - Lenny Pepperbottom would be proud.

thanks guys!! you guys may not be making money (yet) but you are saving us not only money but time and sanity in the search on the right accessories/tools for our self defence! 💯 We appreciate your heard earned money and time.

Was it a police officers mouth? I thought it was a dude working on his car/truck and holding the light in his mouth. I use Streamlights personally, but I can think of about 10 instances of Surefires getting runaway batteries in them while I was in the military. Anything from smoldering to violently creating a small explosion. There was a handful of instances with SureFires and Streamlights catching fire with police officers and some recalls too. In every instance I know of, it wasn't the lights fault either, but the user putting in crappy CR123's or instead or replacing both batteries, they just replaced one creating a runaway load. I'm not saying Olight is quality, I just don't know enough about them, but I do remember when everyone was calling Holosun junk at one time and while they aren't the best red dot pistol optics around, I wouldn't hesitate in using them on my EDCs or home defense guns. I also found the court report. I haven't looked to see if the dude was a cop, but just a dude that was working on his car. The unit had a runaway battery, pressure blew the cap back into his throat and he choked to death. The case was dismissed as it was deemed the CR123 manufacturers fault and not Olights.

When your pistol light costs more than your pistol 😢

I run Streamlight TLR7 on my G43X so that it is flush with the muzzle. My buddy runs the TLR1. Yes the TLR1 is brighter definitely past 40 yards, but 40 yard in the dark I would hope to have a rifle lol. Also, on both the TLR1 and TLR7… the flood is great and on a pistol light is needed for the homies buddies you may not see right by him.

In Olights defense you can find examples of surefire lights that have exploded violently enough over the years they would have significantly injured or killed someone depending on how it had been held.

I run the tlr7a specifically because I don't like a giant bulb poking me in the groin, and it actually has more lumen than the standard tlr1. If goon beam could produce a tlr-7a footprint with twice the lumen, or maybe maybe release a hotter replacement head or something it would really kick ass.

I like olight. Most people dismissing them are gear nerds who spend 5x the price for gear while not being able to hit shit Olight stuff is pretty great and improved MASSIVELY since their inception

I got a tlr 7 for the last few years. No complaints. Use it a bunch too.

I researched the olight death and it wasn’t necessary the light but the after market battery that exploded however there are a lot of claims that olight likes to get people to shill for them. I own an olight baldr pro it’s better than a crimson trace that died on my M9 the first 50 shots.

who needs sleep when u can watch a 30min video on flashlights at 1am yayyyyyyy (help me)

I don’t care what anyone says the PL turbo spanked them all in light output performance!

Goonbeam mentioned‼️‼️‼️What the fuck is darkness‼️‼️‼️‼️

Lol. This is my reward for not sleeping. Thank you for destroying your credit for us, Joe.

I agree with the subcompact gun lights. Also if I'm going to carry a subcompact I'll just carry a handheld that i usually have anyways. If I'm going to add weight and size to my carry I'll just carry a compact with a better light

for 80 bucks, the pl turbo's light is better for night use than the x300t AND modlite. i want to try out the goonbeam though. need a light for a p10c junker, might fuck around and order one.

I have 3 olights in 2 different pl models, I’ve never had any issues with them. Since I live in Canuckistan and can’t carry I can’t really justify an expensive ’duty light’ on what are basically just range toys. They get the job done for evening plinking or less than ideal lighting at indoor ranges.

X300 turbo checking in. Worth it

In the endless amount of weapon light reviews I’ve watched surefire has never won, not once.. Streamlight and Olight seem to always be the winners. Btw, I own many surefires.

I have streamlights and olights and personally the olight feels better with the fact they’re rechargeable and usually have higher lumens for less money. I know people have had problems with them but on all my pistols I run them on and my rifle with the ODIN all have performed without flaws.

Streamlight 1 HL all the way for me I own surfire, olight and streamlight Streamlight wins my choice of weapon light

Late night with Deskpop! Let’s go!

First of all people really need to do there research on the bullpoop topic of olight flashlights explode. In that case Caleb Joyner was using a Olight T20 hand held flashlight. The T20 flashlight uses 2x CR123A (Non Rechargeable) or Rechargeable li-ion either 2x RCR123A 3.7v or 1x 17670 3.7v battery. The batteries is what can explode. If you use 2x CR123 batteries and one of them isn't fully charged when installed, the 1 dead one will go negative in voltage when the new one just goes dead. This is what can cause the batteries to explode. Also using 2x CR123 batteries in series parallel is dangerous by its self. All manufacturers of flashlights have had this issue so its not just Olight. I have used multiple manufacturers weapon light and Olight has been great. I've never had a issue with any of them and some of them have been abused hard with 20,000+ rounds of recoil. Ive thrown them on tables, in oil drums, in boxes. They've fell on the ground, been drug through mud dirt and gravels. Been soaked with rain and water and put away wet. They all work perfectly fine! I've had zero of them break and I've broken 3 surefire lenses. I love my surefire lights but they are expensive compared to Olight. So over the time I've used alot of Olight weapon lights to fulfill the need of not having to switch lights around on firearms. They all get a weapon light cause im all about that equality and making sure non of them feel oppressed! 😂 im glad you did add some Olight's to your test cause ultimately they are decent weapon lights!

So glad you guys did the Tacticon 2A podcast. Finding you guys very interesting and NOT SHILLS, lol

This channel fucks so hard, man. Great content! I'm far more open to options for carbine lights, but I only use x300s on pistols. Just never had the itch to buy another model/brand of pistol light.

if you need a holster for any of these light hit up the dudes at Concealed Development. I bought a rig for almost all of these lights. Highly recommend them. They work with you too if you have questions which WTP did not. I am shilling for them because i was impressed with the quality.

Gang, you guys have to accept the first Raid Shadow Legends or balls razor company that offers an ad. We don't want you to go onto debt for content!

Why do you never do a Night Vision torture test? ☹️

Honestly in my experience and Operation Poors Olights have held up pretty well.

I buy all TACTICON equipment. Love them. My light charges in 25 min and lasts over 2 hours. Very bright. I prefer over my olight mini and tlr-1

I used to like Olight until I saw how their runtime profiles worked. They all run for like 2 minutes and do huge downramps of lumens to continue the runtime. That's just not acceptable to me. I need it to run the same lumens until the battery is dead.

Light travels faster than sound, that's why some people appear bright until you hear them speak.

TLR7 sub might not be blinding, but I gotta say, the extra weight is nice on some of the smaller guns. I really hope Goonbeam fixes the reflector in the sub and bring it into line with the Sig offering which manages close to 17,000 candela. PS. The individual who died from the Olight was using an aftermarket Nuon branded battery, and they were working on their car. Other than that, it appears that the OE batteries don't explode. Olight however does underperform in a multitude of other ways, and Werkz Holsters/lowlightdefense does cover these shortcomings extensively on their channel/website. PSS. I have gone back and forth with the guys at Goonbeam. They do more than just replacing the emitter, they also change the reflector, and the switches are improved (more tension and less chance of an WML ND).

Most of us in the lower, lower 48 won’t work at negative 109 degrees, LOL.

I actually LOVE goonbeams handheld line. Extremely powerful and I just got their MAGLIGHTSABER to have a powerful house light to put on the shelf and my god it's nuts.

Nice. When it’s dark out, there’s plenty of options to choose from! And I’d say Olight may be a GOOD choice, as it should perhaps be a feature. 😂

Agreed on the TLR7. Which is why I'm excited to see how the Holosun PID K does. Sure, it's not AS small, but it's a lot smaller than a TLR-1.

The Olight looks to be the best as far as light output

Olight handheld were the bad ones...I'm betting olight will do fine and im only 2 mins in..I run a few of them and never an issue.

The battery in the Olight that exploded was not a rechargeable, it was a Nuon brand CR123a primary cell. CR123a's are dangerous, and in multi-cell lights will explode if you use mixed capacity (as in, one used and one new) almost every single time. The only thing Olight got in trouble for is not putting enough warning about the dangers of CR123a cells on their packaging.

The Olight that blew up in the guys mouth wasn’t a weapon light. It was a normal handheld flashlight with some cheap dollar store batteries. It had nothing to do with the light and everything to do with the cheap batteries he put in it.

Olight is apparently cringe but I’m reasonably sure I’m going to end up with one. I have a Baton 3 and like it a lot so…down the road to perdition I go

I got a thrunite tn12 pro on a quick release 45 degree mount that Im gonna add when in the woods. It gives a thumb self for the support hand. 10mm btw

CR123s have a risk of exploding if they are run back-to-front and their charge levels differ. It can create a thermal runaway event. The olight that exploded was in this config. I suspect they went to internal rechargeable to avoid it happening again. When you run them in series, side to side, it's less likely to happen. At that point it being an olight is irrelevant since X300 lights have the same config.

Water is relevant. Worst thing to happen would be the light dies from a little soak, we need to fight in the rain. Freezing? Waste of time. Both batteries and LEDs are negatively effected by extreme cold, one should know this when preparing to go into ice weather. Insulating the light body would also result in overheating so this scenario, especially at -hundreds should absolutely cause issues. I would have preferred impact testing, this we need to know: How long would they hold up getting bashed around while on? Obv a very expensive test as this will delete their value but the most valuable information also for your audience. Put them on, tape the switches off and dump them in a cement mixer.

I use the TLR1-HL over any Surefire for one reason - switches! Yes, I have a couple Surefire pistol lights, but they are not in an EDC role. Strobe feature doesn’t get the love they deserve. As a retired combat Infantryman and former LEO with plenty of GWOT and street time, bright LED strobes will blind and disorient people. Could cause other issues, but if pointed at a threat, who cares.

The boys drop a flashlight video at 1am...is that good marketing or did they just say "fuck it"? Lol Also I like Olight, as you said my flashlight is the only one with a confirmed kill. That's a pro not a con in my book 😂

I prefer the lack of hot spot with my TLR-1. It doesn't drown out the red dot as much.

I use a Glock OEM brand light

Great review! Thank you!!

I made the likes go from 999 to 1k. I feel empowered

Keep it up bois 🤌

Who makes the LA Police Gear weapon light? I like it better then my scout and Streamlite H1

Lol dry ice test is crazy!

"exploded in a police officers mouth" you talking about that female officer in Tennessee? The one that pretended to be a train conductor while the department filled her mouth (and other holes)

I hope you guys revisit this with the new TLR-7 HL-X and how that compares to these options.

for a split second, I thought that was Heath Cortez. I got my SF X300 on the zon. and it let me make 6 no interest payments for like 6 months. i needed it for my fauxland special.

Sad that so many channels don't want to recommend items because of "shill" comments. I feel like we're losing the opinions of the creators which was a big reason why I watched the channels. This just leads to the diminishment of a person's word. Enjoyed the video but I appreciate the thoughts and reasons behind your recommendations as well.

I humbly present to you the Nightstick TWM-30. Its the TLR1-HL at home, fits the holsters for it, AND got closed out at $50.

Great video! Thank you!

I stopped watching at 14:20 after getting indisputable proof that Olight is better than the surefire x300

Guys. It's super late. wtf 😂😂

The GOONbeam? 😭😭

You can't blame Olight for a shitty battery. If you recall, the case was dismissed and Olight never even showed up to court. If they had truly been liable, Olight would have been ordered to be present.

Lumen is light intensity, candela is the ability to throw...

Having a hard time figuring out which Olight you got there. On their website they have a PL turbo and a PL Pro Valkyrie, no Valkyrie turbo

Fuuuughetavoutit I guess I’m staying up to watch this.

I didn’t expect the o light to beat the surefire in looks too bad they blow up

I’m subbing for the big red boots in the river

It's 2337 guys On a Thursday

Edens V Olight (1:19-cv-07076) Gosh still repeating that bunk olight kill story. Its funny so im not here to bum people out of a good joke but for the facts read the court documents. The family never showed up becuase the battery he was using was not an olight battery. Additionaly he had the non water resistant light in his mouth. There are so many other holes in that story its sad. The family just madr a stink becuase they lost a loved one but after the facts came out they didnt even show up to court. That gave olight the defualt win in that court case. Defendants did not show up. 12/19/2019 Edit: case was voluntarily dismissed instead of my first claim. I apologize for that but still think it should stay up for transperancy.

I have a rifle goonbeam ..and it's amazing , just saying .

The Foxtrot2R is a Streamlight 7A killer.

the "oh no"

Super bright is all fine and dandy till you walk into a room then everyone is blind

I've had nothing but problems with Streamlights Falling apart with the switch/Battery doorNot sure I would trust them for real world issues!

In very simple terms: Lumen is spill and Candela is throw.

Been super happy with my goonbeams.

Streamlight TLR1-HL ftw

Goonbeam isn't really getting sued by Streamlight, is he? I'd take his TLR-1 HL mod over the Surefire just for the better switch alone.

23:20 I guess you don't know that it was not an Olight battery that exploded? In the screenshot you post, it says as much.

The dude umm there was a gun here had my shit cracking up imma be honest my X300s may get retired after seeing the new lights performance

GOONbeam

Boggles my mind how people aren’t exclusively buying Streamlight at this point. SureFire quality at a fraction of the cost IMHO. SureFire profits off of name alone. Don’t get me wrong, they’re great lights, but Streamlight is just as good. Olight is cheap Chinese garbage that has been marketed towards the “tacticool” crowd. Had several of them that were hunks of crap. Figured I’d give them one more chance with the Warrior Mini 3. Caught the thing on 3 different occasions turning itself on in my pocket. I’ll never carry it again. And they get super hot!

You really need to edit the video so you dont get hit with slander. Edens V Olight. I left another comment going into more detail but you should read all the court documents for the case and edit it.

Pl turbo was on sale for 65 on Amazon last month.

Olight Is Simply The Best China Made GML/PML, That Money Can Buy.

I want a goonbeam just cause the name wonder if can make my own call it “basketball people be gone” ik long name but it works

if it helps us x300 guys cope a bit, he was using a used x300 and ive used my x300 as a hammer multiple times and its fine not sure how durable the others are

I have a lot of Surefire and streamlight weapon lights, I’m really good at breaking shit and NEED a durable light. For some background, as a Caterpillar transmission engineer and previous assembler and tester, I’ve used a lot of flashlights in my day and I’ve destroyed many flashlights (if it’s gonna break, I will break it in the first 3 months). The one I’ve been using for the last year and a half has been the Olight Warrior 3S, and it has been the best light I have ever used. At this point, I have nothing but confidence with Olight and will probably start including them in future gun builds

I love my TLR-8

GoonBeam rules!!! 💯🔥👍

I dont know much about KZfaq but maybe a good idea to add ALal the makes and model to the tittle or description for the search algorithm. So it can be suggested if im looking to know which ones best?

i subscribed to help with the credit card bill! lol thanks for the video!

How about turning the Surfire on with your thumb....

PL turbo is the next buy. To my eyes that’s the sweet spot. Later edit. Thanks for the late video I really needed some to watch!

Tlr7a is absolutely enough light to be blinding and disorienting. Everything has its place.

What x300 holster did the Olight pl turbo work with?
