Since we filmed, Cloud went ahead and announced that they're going to support Surefire tailcaps with their legacy body. W. More information here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fpt8h7h0r7jNmaM.html&pp=ygUPY2xvdWQgZGVmZW5zaXZl

Excellent work once again guys! Looking forward to the rest.

You guys are the only source of objective data in this space! Looking forward to the destructive testing

What a solid video! Just found you - awesome stuff Mr. Werkz, this light comparison was exactly what I was looking for.

Great videos as usual, thanks guys

Fantastic video, very informative.

Really love the work you all put into things you don't make products for even! You are super informative and I appreciate all the hard work and information I get from all of your videos! Happy M7 owner and happy to buy anything I need in the future... assuming you have a product that will fit the combo I run for it lol!!

Great video underrated channel.

i have multiple streamlight hlx. If i had the budget for my dream builds, I'd happily go with new Reins from CD. I've heard so many great things about that company.

Great information Shan! Thanks and Blessings!

My top pick for weapon light reviews.

Im a Surefire guy and have the full size turbo x 2 but great work Cloud Defensive!!!

I knew I should've waited for your review on the rein 3.0. Kind of disappointed it didnt perform at the advertised candela rating. Especially from a reputable company. The hrt is a good contender. The torture test will solidify my decision between the two. Thank you! Also, I don't quite understand what the chart is saying at the 6:34 mark.

you guys don't get enough use for the quality of work you do

I have the cloud Rein 3.0. If you have any doubts just get it. I had the Rein 1.0 and upgraded to the Rein 3.0. Amazing light.

Best low light data available

once again, awesome content that directs my spending decisions.

Thank you !!!🙏

Excellent video, I would love to see a comparison with plhv2 next time.

Great video!

Thanks for the data

Great vids, i hope you can add weltool and z bolt to the next test!

I am thinking of mod light and cloud defensive I do you use cloud defensive mount for the STO7 switch which is a momentary and then the DS07 tail cap which has push button

Just started watching your videos very informative. If I could give you some positive feedback. When you first started off naming the brand of light. You didn't put it up on the screen you gave the data on each light but again not the name. In the future if you could put the name along with the features. That way if you are good pause the video write down all the information at once. Thanks so much keep up the good work

Best informative videos on the web

Gonna have to go snag a Rein 3.0 now 👀

I’m just gonna say, you should include Malkoff devices

Hello, is premium rifle lights lumen full run time test non stop from turning light on until battery dies or like for example if you turn light off and wait to get cool gonna return to maximum beam power?

Another great video. I really like the Cloud Defense light but am not a fan of the tape switch. The light its self seems to be built the most durable. With that said I just recently picked up a AWLS and I am really liking it. Being able to use a surefire tape switch with it is also a huge plus. Also, Its the cheapest option of the 4.

Love the tests you do! All of the lights are basically the same, I have run a OKW for a couple years and I recently bought the SureFire Turbo which I'm happy with because it's SureFire, simple as that

Can you explain why previous OKW lights meter significantly less than what you report in this video for the OKW? In your handheld video you report 68,520 candela for the OKW but report significantly higher here. In my testing at 2 meters I reported similar numbers as you did in your handheld video. I understand a slight difference due to chip but sn approximate 16.75% increase in this video…? Is you’re equipment slightly off?

Out here doing the lords work.

Thanks

Yall are a cool company

Great review! Which manufacturer is the Bronze AR from? It looks awesome!

BEST LIGHT VIDEO EVER!!

me patiently waiting for weltool, and malkoff light test

Can you take a look at Goonbeam? I am interested in their assault lights lineup

Mod light boys are feeling down tonight 😂

HRT really surprised me at a lowlight class; bright white, cuts through smoke and other lights, and has a long throw. The nipple is probably my fav part: I hate the cloud switch.

For my current usage the HRT AWLS is litteraly the *perfect* platform. I have both the full size and compact. I don't run any kind of night vision setup and was never a fan of actuation through pressure switch. It's 1 piece design keeps it nice and light weight while being extremely tough and out of the way. If you don't like the tail cap you can literally unscrew it and use a traditional button which makes the light body even smaller. No light on the market even compares to size and power.

I think the rein 3.0 is an awesome light however I think they dropped the ball with only being able to run the proprietary pressure switch. They should have made the tailcap compatible with surefire. I can't run any dual switches with any ir lasers. And I have that big cloud pressure pad on my rail taking up to much space. Awesome light output but dropped the ball on that one. Could have taken over the market

Shame the HRT is a direct M-LOK mount only from what I have seen. The SureFire and ModLite hole spacing works great with my Unity Tactical Hub and LightWing, and I'm not sure but it looks like the CD REIN 3.0 might be compatible, too.

Nice to see that the 3.0 lives up to what CD claimed. The 2.0 seemed like teaser for the 3. Unfortunate for those who bought the 2 then the 3 dropped 6 months later.

Can you answer how the rein 3.0 compares to the arisaka defensive E2HT or E2XT heads? I can't decide between any of these 3 three options for general purposes

The AWLS head is Surefire compatible but the tailcap is NOT. It uses the same thread as the head because the body is reversible.

Let's see the mch duty from cloud lol grapphs and all!

Does anyone know if the wires coming out of the body in the CD REIN 3.0 are removable? I.E could it be used as a very powerful handheld duty light? I like its size and output for this particular application.

Can we make a video abou te new fenix GL06 ? tks!!

Surefire is sad. Great video.

I run sure fire scout lights mini scout light pro on a short barrel and 500 lm is good enough for myself and the other like that I use is also this year fire it’s dual fuel that uses the rechargeable battery which gives you 1500 lm and you can use to CR 123s using that you get 1000 lm so I’d rather have a 1500 lm I am somewhat conflicted on should I have a shorter working light on bye 14 five or my short barrel bow both the 500 lm and 1500 lm when fully charged works amazing and will definitely if you have say a home invader or what not it will definitely give you a One or two seconds which is very very I’d say important because .1 of a second can basically the give you the upper hand as especially at night they’re gonna flinch enough time to break You’re shot

👍🏻

Any chance the TLR-1 HPL will make it into the second tier of lights?

But why must Cloud continually lie to customers with their inflated values while Surefire and Modlite continually tell the truth, if not under spec. their products.

I liked Modlite until they hit menopause.

Imagine a rein 3.0 with a 21700 battery

The HRT switch looks very prone to accidental discharges, seems like a terrible idea

Cloud defensive sucks ass. Long story short I had a mch hc edc and mch duty. Every light flickered. It's a huge problem in their fb page group. 3 posts daily about their light flickering. Cloud kept sending out tail caps. That was just a bandaid to a bigger design flaw in their lights. 2 months later they would flicker again. Funny I was on a call clearing a house with 2 other officers. I had to stop and fart arohmd with the duty light to get it to stop flickering. Had to unscrew it take the battery out and fart around to get it to not flicker anymore. That was the last straw for me. I got all new tail caps and sold the lights off. That's whete I draw the line. Been a flashlight enthusiast for years and none of my other lights do this. Something to do with the battery not making full contact in the light there for the flicker. I believe the batteries are too short. They need to figure their crap out

The stream light protac 2.0 was a serious disappointment. I was able to over look the proprietary battery I just bought 2extra. But, the new plug they use is crap. I have it on a 5.45x39 ak. I shot about 100 rounds of 7n6 2 different times hosing the gun down really well after each time the gun has 0 rust anywhere on it. I unplugged the switch the other day to find it full of corrosion meaning that oring does not seal the port adequately. Really disappointed. I should have bought the original. I tried new products on that right and every one of them is garbage. The PSA Soviet arms sa30\31 is a zenit clone and it wiggles now. Lesson learned.

pew pew pew

yall should have waited one week.. modlite is releasing its HOG rifle light that would probably put these to shame.

The new Olight Javelot Tac would be my choice. I took the Cloud Defensive OWL off of my 300BLK SBR home defense rifle and replaced it with the Javelot Tac. The OWL just sits on a shelf now.

still waiting for the death match...

These stupid expensive lights need STROBE!!!!!!! SmH

your warehouse test is fuckin creepy bro

how much did. clout pay you to say this
