Very true

Thank god we have a gentleman in the comments.

Knife, tip up - please explain?

It’s faster to deploy the blade. Give it a try. Demonstrates best with a folding flipper. Pull it out of your pocket tip up and flip the knife open. Then pull it out of your pocket tip down. In the latter scenario you’ll have to adjust the knife in your hand before flipping it open.

HarleyWood Sweet! I learned something today. Thanks bro!

Thank you. Appreciate that

He is prob a o light shill

I have paid relationships with just about all the flashlight manufacturers. So yes, I’m a shill...for all of them.

Yeah olights get too battery life too lmao.

fk who copies who olight wins hands down penix fanboys loose, and if you dont have any usb charger caping woods youre either neandertal type of camper or have extra chromosome.

George Michael used an O-Light exclusively in the men's lavatory in L.A. That's the price you have to pay.

Agree with all of that I got nitecore and it uses 27100 but can also use cr123s and type c charging way better than olight

High quality and cheap?? Right, I don't trust my lights to a cheap battery.... I actually don't find myself needing a bunch of batteries. It takes about a second at the end of the day, to pop the magnetic charger on, hence they are all always charged...I hate having to plug crap in......it's a PITA....

hokanut I have to agree with you. I think for most people fenix lights are more practical. I own a dozen of them and I have yet to see one fail me.

if you compare his shed/backyard shots the Olight has no flood at all its just a hot spot and very little spill. Other than smaller size, those TIR optics Olight uses are always a compromise on output. Simple physics says your always trying to match a real reflector that is considered 100% efficient at projecting the light. Good read here on that livid.lighting/optical-technology-optic-tir-vs-reflector/

Thanks brother. Appreciate that

What specifically did you prefer about the Olight over the Fenix?

Interesting same issue with mine

The Olight chargers are so small, I don't find an advantage in Micro usb, or type c.....

David Elkhart damn! I have that same light. The m18 maverick is really durable. Ive had mine for 5-6 years as well

It’s never the last one Gary. Don’t be silly 😜

thanks man. appreciate you watching

At the end I chose pd36r beacause I don´t want anything magnetic in my pocket. I have pd36r about a month as an EDC and it´s totaly worth it.

You'd be better off with the Fenix.

M2Pro Warrior issues have been resolved. I mentioned somewhere else that I wish they would add a momentary option to the Olight Seeker 2 Pro, but unless one is willing to use only momentary option on occasion, it would get complicated. Standard 21700 to me is the only better feature on the Fenix. Otherwise I like the M2R Pro better, a warmer beam for better perception, and the availability of lower levels than the Fenix eco level of 30 lumens. If you want a simple (only two levels) tough thrower the Warrior X Pro with its neutral white beam is terrific. Anyway I'm sure your Fenix will do well by you. For no particular reason I actually have the FDE M2R Pro on my belt right now. I'm amazed how responsive its tail cap switch is. I like that I can get 2 levels that way and go to the side switch if I need more, or is that less ;-) such as 1 lumen for 50 days.

U should be able to lock it out. Try holding the side switch for like 5-10 seconds, that's how u do it on the s1r2 and s2r2

Redlock 82 thanks for the info. It does lock it out, but it locks out both switches. That means if I needed it quickly, I would be SOL. Honestly, I just wish Olight or Nitecore or someone would make a simple EDC light with a UI similar to my old Streamlight Protac 2L-X. It was momentary or click to full power. Double tap to strobe, click to keep strobe, triple tap to low, click to keep low. I would go back to Streamlight, but the others have so much more output. I just want something simple with a tail switch only, momentary/click on, and fast access to full power and strobe. I don’t care if I have to do a dance to get to other levels or moonlight or whatever. I just want quick access to turbo and strobe.

It does not suck, it just is not the light for you, by your description of the negatives, the pd36r should fit your needs better it seems.

Olight M1X Striker is the light you need, if you can find one. They’re discontinued but sometimes available on eBay or check the Flashlight Fanatics group on Facebook for a private seller. The side switch on the M1X is inactive until powered on by its tail switch. It can be set to strobe from memory for instant strobe activation in momentary-mode or fully click on for constant-on mode (instant strobe from memory is a very rare feature, even in tactical lights). It has a 1,000 lumen max output. Built-in, very aggressive strike bezel. Runs on a single 18650 or a pair of CR123 or rechargeable RCR123 cells. It has moonlight mode and L/M/H & Turbo. No magnets or built-in charging system of any kind on this light so you’ll need an external charger and those are very inexpensive. Additionally, the rubber boot tail-switch does more than just turn it off and on with a single press. It has a double tap and triple tap feature built in for the instant access to turbo and strobe.

Exactly. The runtime of the fenix flashlights can not be beaten. Also, ive had other lights and they get extremely hot to the point that you can not touch the front half of the light. Also, i love how fenix lights dont step down. Theyre true max lumens output. Others including olight step down after 3 min wtf. Screw that bs

The Fenix PD36R can run on high for that long? What's going on? I have the PD40R V2 but it can only do high (3000 lumens) for 1 minute, and then it steps down to 1000. Why the blatant lie on the box that it does 2hour and 40min on high?

Yeah. I think I’m gonna do that from now on. I know you guys see too many flash sale videos. Hope this brings some added value. Thanks for watching

@@HarleyWood23 That was one reason to watch since I could just look at the one I already have and my OD Green one should be here Friday morning. Probably just the anticipation. I really like that color in the Warrior X Pro so I hope it is similar. These will also be the revised ones. I do have the FDE version and was just noticing how good the controls are. I think my Camo one probably has a contaminated switch. It had some finish fragments around the switch when I received it so it may still have some in there. It just does not feel as good and I have had to hit the tail switch multiple times to turn it off. It always works to turn it on and there is the side switch, but I need to report it and see what Olight says. I also appreciated you mentioning the difference in Kelvin temperature. I find a higher CRI or fuller spectrum is very important. When the beam is too cool everything is just too flat and colors do not pop. I have had trouble distinguishing between FDE and OD Green, as well as, brown and deep maroon. Use a neutral white or warm beam and it is suddenly easy. The beam on the Seeker 2 Pro is so wonderfully even, I just wish it was a bit warmer. I saw another video with beamshots comparing the Fenix PD36R and the Olight M2R Pro Warrior and someone else commented how much better the detail was distinguished by the Olight, so I am not alone. Now if we can just get Olight to realize the same thing with their task lights and headlamps and provide a choice of NW (Neutral White) instead of just CW (Crappy White) I'll be very happy. They HAD the far better neutral white H1R and H2R Nova headlamps, then they stopped offering them in NW. So my friends who saw mine and ordered them in NW were in luck, now not so much. Besides too much blue in the light is bad for sleep patterns. :-)

Lol

I mean it’s meant to be a duty light so just charge it at the end of your shift. You’re not gonna run it dry in one shift

True big key for me was the usb-c charging as not bound to their charging. Plus I’ve noticed the fenix charges way faster too.

That promo was only during the flash sale. Be on the lookout for the next one. They do that same promo just about every time. I recommend signing up for their mailing list or joining their FB group

@@HarleyWood23 oh gotcha! Yea I signed up for everything and I’ll keep a look out thank you!!

I have the warrior mini 2 and I'm thinking about the warrior 3s but also looking at the fenix lights. Then again, I do like the small size of the mini 2 and olight has always been good to me. Seldom to I have an issue with one and if I do, they get a new one to me quick.

Jimmy, you seem to have trouble with Fenix like I do with Chevy cars and trucks. My first two cars were Chevys, always broke down. Later our company bought Chevy trucks and always in the repair shop.

man, that's a tough one. The Olight is brighter and i like it's focused beam more. Very subjective, but the Fenix has better aesthetics in my opinion. After the sale, i think the Fenix is better for the money, but I don't think you can go wrong either way.

@@HarleyWood23 thanks man, I'll look at buying a fenix mate 👍🏻

They just released Warrior 3 ;)

Average Joe I have relationships with both brands. So it’s kinda hard to be biased towards either. They’re both great lights.

😎😎😎😎😎😎

My Fenix 21700 cell with a built-in USB-C charging port on its side (near the top of the cell) will not work at all in my 3 Olight flashlights that use this size battery. •Seeker 2 (not the Pro) •M2R Pro •Warrior-X Pro

That's crazy it's got inner water proofing in that port just tear the damn cover off if anything

No arguing that. My dad was a cop all though the 80s and 90s. They did lots of bonking with those

Im putting the fenix on mine, was very happy with even the pd35 tac

Yes that is correct you just can’t charge it

Does it have to be protected 21700? I've seen regular 27100 5000 mah and protected 21700 5000 mah

@@McPhenius Sorry for the misleading info but just saw a review and they said that you have to use the Olight batteries they tested other batteries and it does not work I had also understood that you can use other batteries but it seems that on this model you cannot

Fenix advertises the weight without the battery. The 21700 battery alone weighs almost 3 oz. www.fenix-store.com/fenix-rechargeable-21700-li-ion-battery-5000-mah/

@@HarleyWood23 Thankyou brother.

I also love my M2T Warrior too, but the pocket clip is broken after 1 years, too bad.

I have the tk16 V2 and it's fantastic! I cannot see anyone needing anything else in a flashlight.

haha. thanks for watching.

But I thought her favorite color was green. LOL.

Olight is pretty shady the literally say hey you want a bunch of free shit review our lights in will send you loads of free lights never trust an olight review on KZfaq they even do that with our Facebook gun groups aswel we tell them to go pound

@@sunnycat69 Which light do you trust? Cause i'll tell you EVERY flashlight manufacturer sends out free lights to reviewers. Literally every single one. So you should probably stop buying flashlights.

Joseph Kasperek I gotta admit, i'm impressed.

@@HarleyWood23 I own alot of lights but Fenix is my go to, I own 8 and never had an issue with any of them. Your a hunter, you should check out the Fenix HT18 what an awesome light!

@@joekasperek1086 looking...

I absolutely hate the tail switch on my M2R Pro. For that reason I choose the PD36R. It's very responsive and tactile which is what you want in a tactical light

Type C would rock.

@@HarleyWood23 that feature alone on olights would make me a buyer. I think the m2r pro would be absolutely perfect if it had that and a standard battery. Great review\ comparison!

What do u mean top markotop?
