Best way to know what channels to avoid/unsubscribe fun. Bye!

Unsub them

Its great I’ve had one for about 2yrs now and it’s excellent, no problems, good battery, easy charging makes it the perfect pistol light for me

You could just buy a second rechargeable light. Lol It's about the same size as a few CR123's.

@@kyleduddleston4123 I'm talking about a situation where you don't have means to readily recharge anything.

@@Fister_of_Muppets I know. I was half joking. I was suggesting a New York reload of the light. Just swap them out when one dies. Lol

@@kyleduddleston4123 ah gotcha lol

No. The model that blew up isn't made anymore.

@@NoNo_IStay regardless olights not a good product for serious use, lesson learned that’s why I’m rocking surefire now and looking into modlite.

@@TheRatL0rd I've never had a surefire or streamlight make it through a deployment but I have an Olight thats mad 2.

@@SgtRudySmithbRet if it works for you good on yah, but in my sample size of 1 and all the other shit I’ve seen online I’d be inclined to say that you’re in the minority.

Love mine. Great throw and some spill for situational awareness

I avoid any light that requires batteries to charge. Wireless charging + batteries is the only way.

Why? Half the lumens at double the price of olight

the tribe shills for olight its why you see all the vids at same time

They're getting paid, look at Polenars video.. they say right from the get that its paid

It's usually through affiliates, about 10% or more if you sell more for them.

Amen

I say in the video that olight sent me the lights.

You can buy an Olight made mount for the Odin series, they all use the same Surefire scout mounting platform and Olight makes them, which can be bought separately. Honestly it’d be better to buy a more high end mount. Bobro Engineering makes one that swivels up and down and quick detaches from the mlok slot, I don’t regret buying mine for my Odin Mini on my SBR. It cost just over $100 after taxes and shipping, almost as much as the light itself, but imo it’s worth it. Where I like to have my light mounted, with the Olight mlok mount I cannot fold my Troy front sight up or down because the light is in the way of the mechanism that lets it fold and open. With my new mount, I just have the positioned enough for clearance for the front sight to work freely, and boom, it works wonders. Battery is low? Boom, quick detach the mount and I can easily charge my light without having to stand my rifles by a plug-in.

@@Wimmig43at339 Dude that was 2 years ago. While I appreciate your input, my point was that a flashlight that costs in excess of $100 should come with the means to attach it via the most common interface in existence. M-Lok was just about industry standard then and is ubiquitous now. I don’t remember exactly what I had to pay for a mounting adapter, but it was pretty expensive and should have been included.

Read instructions. You need to tighten socket screws before mounting. Had the same problem.

@@rodjohnson1000 I had to remove the battery compartment lid and locktite and tighten the screws that hold the qd mount to the light body. The first one, the light would often fail to turn on, so I had it replaced by warranty... not sure I trust the second one because it too came loose immediately after using.

Coyote pest control. Maybe you got some chickens in a coop hear a bunch of ruckus and want to be able to identify a threat and shoot it from your backdoor 200 yards away

@@mehicanbls1526 that's why I want it to have an ir feature to be used with night vision

Personally I have no use for a light with no "splash" It is neat that it has so much throw, but I figure a lot of people will be it and find out that they can not co-witness it with there sights. I have the mini odin and I believe it is about perfect as far as throw and splash and the quick disconnect is nice. I would like to see the light mount be adjustable. In a close and dirty scenario it could be used as laser sight.

Hog hunting and marine use

WML for a DMR/something with a longer engagement range or WML for situations where you need positive target ID at extended ranges compared to standard lights is most practical use for it.

Price check 1,000 yard lights, and check back.

It's relative.

Surefire scout is around 250

CHYNA

@@LocHoang580 m600 with pressure pad is around 500$ and it only has a throw of 250m.

Surefire brand was popular in the army

Cloud defensive owl is one of the best options if you are running only a weapon light and not anything for nvgs.

Cloud Defense and Modlite are top of the line. Surefire is the tried and true. Streamlight is the bare minimum. Olight is trash. Streamlight has equivalent options to all of olights products with only minimal increase in price and has a proven track record. I've seen olights fly of pistols after a mag or two, and they were definitely "secured" to the rail.

@TheMetalGuy852 are any of the brands discussed not chinesium, any made in USA or Europe?

@TheMetalGuy852 streamlight is assembled in the US with parts made in China

Cloud defensive owl is one of the better rifle lights. Super good throw and spill, and durability is not matched by any other brand

@@KimballPrecisionRifles and mace in USA ?

@@nonyabusinessinc over half of surefire's internals come from overseas

Modlite is the way

modlite is king

Seems like the wrong light for that setup. A wide spill would be more suited to a 12ga setup in my opinion.

it's for people without nods who are already dead XD

So that everyone in a half mile radius can see where you’re at when you’re shining your 1000 yard lightsaber around. To answer your question, you really don’t. Maybe if it wasn’t on a weapon mounted light it would make sense for search and rescue type missions, but on a rifle like an ar that it’s made to go on, pointless.

Some things like hogs are often hunted at night by rifle. More of a military style weapon light though than a home defense one, so..maybe is China invades? I don't know. I can see how living out in flat farmland how having a light that goes that far can be sometimes useful. I'd hate to be on the receiving end of that light beam though.

As someone who lives in rural Kansas and can’t afford nods, this could really be useful for seeing wayyyy out there in the open pastures/prairie

Enemy with night vision and 100yd rifles lol you’re not safe

they sent me these

@@HonestOutlawReviews ..... And you make a commission

@@colbywood7667 yeah if he sells enough, he definitely makes commission...

Laser Excited Phosphor. I'm sure you're just joking though.

@@EarlyMist actually both are correct depending on your source of information. I investigated both and they are equally correct. I agree it sounds stupid. Thanks for sharing your knowledge, I learned something new today which is a good thing. Thank you brother and God bless.

@Todd Baker Different technologies. Light emitting plasma uses an emitter that is constructed of a small electrode-less quartz lamp encased by a ceramic resonator. Laser excited phosphor uses a blue laser as an emitter. Light emitting plasma is used on newer street lamps. Laser excited phosphor is used on lights that need longer throw like car headlights and flashlights.

We have both of different guns

I can do a comparison

@@hugh_mungus_what they are definitely getting paid by Olite far more. There’s a reason 50% of gun channels all upload olite videos within the same hour when they are having a flash sale...

Sure fire is far better from my research.

Have 4 olights gun lights 3 hand held over a year no problems, very bright. Spent close to $500 for shurfire scout pro and switch, great quality but stupid money. Just got the streamlight Sub TR7 Sub, great light for the money

Sadly people fetishize murder, so I don't think this would be a popular topic. I wish more channels covered all your options too.

It’s neon green!

F both of them. Holosun is literally owned by the ChiComs.

I think it’s because the Holosuns blow up less.

@@thedoubleop 😂😂😂

I think a majority of people who don’t support Olight (myself included) really aren’t focused on the fact that it’s a Chinese company. They have major QC issues, their durability is not on par with the other bigger names and a huge one for me is the fact that they pay people to give their products good reviews.

@@ireckon7351 I had two Olights and they would get super hot quick. My Valkyrie would make a loud buzzing sound, after reading about others having their lights explode and one person die from having it explode in their mouth and that Olight pays a Lot of money to get “positive reviews” it just seemed like a good idea to move away from that brand.

Imma backwards man imma backwards man

?

@@HonestOutlawReviews Apparently there have been some reports in the past of olight products having the internal batteries explode while in use.

@@721pjm I saw exactly one report of that, and the guy mixed old and new batteries.

@@nonyabusinessinc this is in no way shape or form the fault of Olight. It is extremely common for multi-cell flashlights to explode when they are used with cells of mismatched voltage. This is why Olight almost exclusively uses single cell lights, and/or protected rechargeable cells now. The current hate of Olight is based purely in ignorance.

@@nonyabusinessinc until the American companies start truly innovating, I will. Features like vibration to warn of low battery, magnetic charging and magnetic attach tape switches with simple locking collars are genius.

Their customer service is one of the best, what are you talking about? I've been using Olight for over a decade, solid CS.

No way! It took two months, nobody could seem to help me as I even sent receipts. And it was hard to understand them as they didn’t speak English well.

Fuck censorship. It's unacceptable for any reason.

He said 1 thousand yards

@@joestabene479 I think I was a thousand miles away. I’m pretty sure I meant to type yards. Thanks!

Enjoy having your patriotism taken advantage of. They over charge because they know you want American made. Go be a sucker.

@@JackTheWicked I mean, I would rather spend 100$ more, get a USA made product that supports fellow Americans livings, as well as get the best product I can for if I actually need to use it. And how the government is starting to become, that seems more likely every day.

@@JackTheWicked if you can spend 183 on a Chinese light, you can spend 300 on a much superior product by waiting a couple paychecks if that’s what it takes. Gotta be more open minded. It’s worth it.

@@NoNo_IStay well my Surefire never let me down in combat...I don't play with Chinese toys if my life depends on it.

They're just down on them because they're made in China, like 90% of everything else these hypocrites buy is. They're good value lights in my opinion, and while Surefires are nice lights, I think they're too expensive for a flashight. I don't know of anyone else that has a comparable rechargeable design, which for home defense is really nice. I respect wanting to buy American, but people saying these lights are junk don't know what they're talking about.

It's just more red scare bullshit to justify a war with China in the future.

No it killed a guy when i exploded in his mouth, look it up

@@hustler11773 that was with a lithium primary cell, which are known to cause violent disassembly when used with mismatched voltages. In no way are those problems plaguing the new rechargeable Olights.

Just pray about gas prices. Or get the Facebook page "God" a million people 🙄

Mine is.

I believe he is on record for getting kickbacks for pushing their products.

I don't take it as a push. It was a review. I don't recall him saying buy it over something else. I don't fault anyone for trying to make money in this environment but what do I know? I'm just a guy on KZfaq.

@@crimzonbpd88 thank you for your support! We always give our honest review on things and this is no different. We appreciate you

@@crimzonbpd88 I wasnt suggesting anything or telling you what you should do. I just know transparency is important and some people find reviews suspect if the reviewer is making money off of the product.

@@noquartergiven7789 I completely understand your opinion and appreciate you sharing the info. I follow a lot of channels that have to do paid reviews these days and I own a few Olights and while I might not consider them for LEO/Military I appreciate anyone taking the time to review something so I don't have to buy it and return it. For me personally the more information the better. I mean honest is in the name lol. I appreciate you though.

Posted from your phone that was made in China or on your computer comprised of 100% made in China parts. Sure.

Won't be missed. We don't want people who hate a product but still come to comment. Let alone blackmail. Pathetic little fake patriot

@@RadDadisRad don't let the door hit ya.....

Paying for a good review for a shit product made in china =\= equal patriotic.

Chris has reviewed various products of mine, never paid him a dime, gave him ammo, or even asked him for a review. He is an absolute stand up dude and would not shill. I know of and hate Olight and other companies paying reviewers for reviews. I cannot say for sure that Chris has not been paid by Olight - although I can say several things on this matter: Chris has never asked for payment for reviews, nor has it even been mentioned in any discussions with him. There are several other reviewers out their that have been the same, but they are not the norm. Olight’s quality is WAY better better than what people think. I am not paid by them, and I do not like that they are made in China or are a Chinese company. But, similarly to Holosun, after tons of hard testing in conjunction with our products, I have come to use Olight on many things, most notably as my EDC light. They are not only competitive, but as far as EDC lights go, they are the best that exist, on multiple levels. I was an emergency locksmith before getting into this industry, and my edc light was a primary tool. I have tried many, done shit loads of research. Even having way more Olights than I do both Stream lights and Surefires, I have had MANY more failures with them, and that’s with much softer treatment, both in actual testing and use. Chris - HonestOutlaw - does not shill.

Edit: I found out the hard way that paid reviews are common - I am against them, and we have never paid a single person or organization to do some sort of review or promotion. (Flux Defense, for those wondering)

@@civilian0005 home defense is a lot different of an application than a general purpose carbine, which is what I have my rifle set up as. The light is marketed as a duty light, and it isn't, no olights are. I'm not talking out of my ass, I have experience with this company. I actually kinda like their handheld/carry lights despite my best interest, but they're not tools I will bet my life on. Not sure why you feel the need to call me a clown for not sucking off a Chinese flashlight company plagued with issues. Do they pay you too? 😂
