I've been addicted to these vids. How did I not see this guy until the other day?

[@riccardoc1711]

A cuople of months ago I bought a rovivon after watching your review and i’m happy i did it! Thanks for sharing! All the best

[@kerry_glock]

Great video. I agree with you!!! A small, good quality, inexpensive EDC flashlight makes a great gift or for practical EDC. Some years ago, PA experienced a small earthquake. My son was at Juniata College and was in a basement area of a building that didn’t have emergency lighting. He was there with about 20 fellow students. With his AAA flashlight, was able to lead everyone out of the building. His EDC comment since has often been “better to have something and not need it, than to need it and not have it.” I often give AAA flashlights to people who have done something that impacted my life or as gifts. My Cardiologist that literally saved my life for one as an example.

[@Penguin545]

Jeeze man he saved your life- spring for an s2r baton or something a little higher end 😌

[@LMMRPM]

You have got to be kidding me!! I have been thinking and waiting for this video!!!! Thank you so much!! Totally considering one of these for the holiday season!!

[@diego1996333]

Proud owner of multiple Olights that I also switch out with the Rovyvon! Thanks for the awesome content, Taylor. Happy Thanksgiving to you and the fam. I'm going to go with 58.

[@paulh2990]

Hey im a new subscriber and i love the content and explanation you give when talking about these lights! Thanks for the great info! Just bought an S2R ii 🔥

[@lebinstjohn1871]

The S1A is one of my favorites. I use a usb rechargeable AA. 36

[@lanceavats8881]

I think I disagree with most of edc guys because I like regular battery powered lights compared rechargeable. Don’t get me wrong cr123a and rechargeable lights have a place and are some of the brightest and smallest form factor lights on the market but you can’t beat being able to just walk into a gas station and picking up some fresh batteries for your flashlight before a camping trip or backpacking excursion. I like the accessibility of AA and AAA batteries. I will still buy rechargeable and cr123a but when presented with a choice I lean towards alkaline.

[@mortuus4601]

olights i3t is perfect choice.

[@danieldo8859]

Mini baton ftw. Its so tiny and you can feed it with either rechargeable or alkaline CR123

[@Yes9000now]

[@filletmignon5221]

60 days on the baton 3 pro max on low which is the same amount of lumens as any standard flash light I hate having to buy battery’s and the fact it’s a lithium ion Battery means I’ll never have to worry about buying a battery

[@kristianastacruz3613]

Olight i3t is a killer😎

[@vabu94]

I carry the m2t as a main light and the s1 as a keychain for my car keys. I also have the r50pro for the special situations. Olight makes some beautiful flashlights that have never failed on me.

[@LandonWills]

Im going to have to go with 67.Great stuff as always. Keep up the great content!

[@masona.5465]

Awesome video this it’s going to definitely help me choose what flashlights I want for the holiday

[@fishxfryed945]

Thanks for the making this I finally decided adding a small light to my edc

[@anonymouswatcher5733]

I always go with the battery version because of something ever happens and the power is out , you can’t charge it . The chances of you coming across batteries anywhere is more likely !

[@markarodriguez3906]

When my wife asks why I need so many flashlights, I give her that reason. 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@SaSpursFan]

You could use a power bank that you might already carry for your electronics

[@TheCityLightz]

the micro stream usb flashlight can be used while being charged on a power bank

[@NSDG813]

Bought the baton 3, can't stress how much i love it. Been carrying it everyday since

[@ricardolopez705]

So while I was watching your review on the Raider you mentioned that the knurling on the bezel was merely for looks that is incorrect if you turn on the flashlight and place it light down on a surface you will notice that that knurling allows for light to escape making a very stealthy light for reading things or looking for small things without creating a lot of light try it out and let me know what you think

[@lupevera3997]

Hi Taylor! Keep up the great work. I was wondering how you think the olight i1r eos compares to the rovyvon flashlights. Also, my number is 31

[@chinesetomcruise]

I've got the I3T EOS in black. Would love that copper though... My guess is...11

[@fatnutz223]

I love Olight! Great flashlights. My guess is 70.

[@psyfertech]

the i5t has been my favorite light, i work in telecom and am in and out of customers homes all the time many of them very bad lighting and o light is brilliant making that clip you can clip it right to the brim of your hat and its super light cant even feel it up there and takes aa batteries which everyone has lying around quick and easy to swap out if it goes dead

[@nathanstein5434]

Thank you for all the hard work that you do in putting together all of your videos. I always look forward to watching new videos from you. Keep up the great work. By the way my number pick is 58. Happy thanksgiving.

[@stevelambet3267]

Awesome video. Thank you very much. Do you review Armytek lights?

[@chad9977]

Excited to own my own (first) compact edc flshlight

[@peterolson823]

Taylor, thanks. You convinced me that I need a light in my EDC. I've got an S1R II coming from Amazon on Monday. A little Merry Christmas from my parents.

[@imjustlookingformydog896]

How do you like it? Thinking of getting one

[@peterolson823]

imjustlookingformy dog just saw this. Love it. Got the S2R as well.

[@Dingdongwitchisdead]

S2RII Baton is my all time EDC carry. Size to output is awesome imo.

[@martinorchard3505]

I've just got the Olight S1R Baton 900lm Compact Rechargeable after watching, killer deal from Olightstore UK. thx love the new setup great content.

[@timpoe1015]

I own the s2r baton ii I love it! I got it on the flash sale for 48$ Thanks for the video!

[@saullopez6942]

Just picked up one and I like! Question: does Turbo mode only work if you have a full battery?

[@jayssmarshall]

37, for this time around. Flashlights are great. Happy holidays!

[@CeitDeVitto]

I watched this before I bought the S1R II Spring. I can't wait to get it. Thank you for posting! Great material.

[@user-iw2mo7yu4d]

I got my mom an I1R EOS, she is amazed how bright the tiny light is. And now she carry it every day and sometimes she will get asked on where she get the light!

[@Son_of_Russ]

I don't know if it's a good video idea or not but I'd like to see a list of EDC items that would fit a Secret Santa price limit like 25 bucks or so. Keep up the good work. 37 is my guess.

[@avxrevo]

Cody Grooms great video idea imo

[@thebardock6785]

I like that but maybe fit the price to 50.sob you can do multiple options

[@anthonycasados9417]

55!! Great ideas for stocking stuffers I got a few family members that would enjoy a new toy to carry. My father in-law is just blown away with my rovyvon first time I used it when the lights went out he swore I had a huge mag light in my pocket haha so might be getting him one of those for sure.

[@williamhsewardiv5742]

watching your channel has created a monster here...I just bought 2 of the S2R BATON II last month when they were onsale... I'm hooked. my guess is 11

[@slip0n0fall]

Would love an updated EDC flashlight video!

[@electricraft98]

My guess is 6. Keep up the good work! Thinking about picking up a few of these for black friday

[@averybaddawg2197]

FYI, I took the longest time to settle on a new edc flashlight. You and LLOD are the ones that convinced me to try the Olight S1R II. Well done Sir.....very well done.

[@anthonytonachio1919]

Ever since I got my first mini Valkyrie for my edc Glock 19 I've been an olight fanboy. I probably have 20 + products from them just recently got the O-pen pro and the O-knife. I love em

[@donvietnguyen]

What would be your number one pick for a one and done flashlight? I’m considering the sr2 baton 2, i5t eos, i3t eos, mr2 pro warrior, or warrior mini. Preferably something more baton like or streamline that would fit into a pocket organizer. Any other brand suggestions would be great too. Thank you for your help!

[@guardroving3815]

My guess is 6, great videos. I only start watching a short time ago but I found a lot of cool stuff that I've looking forward to getting for myself.

[@area51.52]

I appreciate your flashlight knowledge and experience man. Great content. Thanks

[@55gopi]

This is exactly what I was looking for, heard lots of great things about olight and was looking for a new light awsome! Edit: I pick 21

[@kienfung3045]

Which brand is better, Olight, Nitecore, MecArmy, ThruNite or Klarus or other brands? Thnx for the video!

[@spenser9096]

There is a better version of the keychain light. The I1R2 EOS. They fixed the cap problem by making it a spring loaded extension rather than screw off. Still cant use it while recharging since the light turns on by twisting cap and body together. However the bonus of this is you can carry it with the cap screwed on less to reduce the risk of accidentally turning it on in pocket and wasting battery since there is no longer a risk of loosing the cap if it comes all the way off.

[@jacknecrosis]

good, i've been looking for a new flashlight, still leaning towards RoviVon A5

[@jordanjohnson6380]

another awesome vid. love when you do whole product lines. it's very helpful for shopping. lucky number 15

[@davidcarruthers8274]

very good videos these. your presentation style is great, and I really enjoy watching them 😊

[@Red_ready317]

I got the olight pl mini on the sale they had on Black Friday and it came with the very small light for my keychain and is awesome they are very good and powerful I will purchase more from them

[@TheDesius]

my favorite EDC light is the fenix RC05

[@maxyass7562]

What’s your very best suggestion for a light that’s a compact to medium size. A thrower. Well built/tough/will last long/good warranty. And a budget of around 60$-ish

[@tmsala59]

Fantastic Video! Fantastic Products! Thanks! S1R II Baton! That's What I'd Get! Hope They'll Go On Sale On Black Friday This Year 2021.

[@simonforget280]

I carry a Gen. 1 S2R Baton everyday. I do also own a H2R but it's too easy to get it activated for my taste so it's relegated to my backpack. My pick : 7 Keep up your excellent work!

[@VishalRaoOnYouTube]

Taylor, any reason why you didn't cover the S30R Baton III? It seems like an EDC with more tactical and emergency applications with its hotspot and longer throw than the S2R Baton.

[@machendachen]

Yess!! I love flashlight videos! Might get one of the new lights in titanium during the flash sale tomorrow! My guess is 68

[@OBrienTruckers1934]

I'll pick 50 to go with my R50 copper - one of 7 copper Olights I've accumulated. Great lights!!

[@rohanc1946]

I need a torch preferably under 30 for walking home in the dark - any recommendations? Not too clunky would be good! Thanks 🙏

[@Maxmgm212.]

Will regular 18650 batteries work with this light and rechArge with the magnetic charger ?

[@willg7885]

I would realy like to know your opinion on the best small key chain flash light ..also not into many features just realy good output and like 2or 3 modes at most

[@richardcameronlewis]

My guess is 16. Great video, thank you sir! Just started carrying the S2R Baton II myself and it's a top performer. I also use moon mode while sneaking around the bedroom after my wife goes to sleep, lol.

[@machendachen]

I do the same thing!!! 😂😂😂

[@ChrisDeger]

S1 mini Baton is my EDC flashlight. I have the model with the magnetic back cap you cant charge that way but it does stick to things really well, I have used it for car work stick it to the hood boom just a great tool

[@robertjohnson2586]

Thanks for sharing, gotta love a good flashlight!

[@SUEHEEBWAHEED]

your videos are absolute bliss i love your work and keep it up and good luck in the future

[@hudsonhayer9376]

Astrolux and Olights, convoy, thru nite I done learned I just love a good flash light and I like building custom ones even more. It's a good little hobby

[@user-tr2dh4xx6u]

Ive bought two limited edition s1r, so sad i missed the sale. Could have saved $60 and bought the standard version as well :( The s1r is the best edc hands down. Maybe the s2r is better for some but s2r has enough run time for edc. No idea why someone would buy the other lights of similar size, unless budget of course. I plan on buying atleast 3 other lights, just waiting for sale (r50, h1r OR h2r , s2r) Would love a magnetic lamp dock charger mount for the s1r. Could use my s1r as a desk lamp and nightlight. And also a olight brand hat would be cool

[@joshuwha]

Question: sr2 vs sr1 2 go! I'm choosing s1r.2 but open to ideas before I buy. Looking for that autumn s1r.2

[@tcerickson2621]

I carry Odin, snaps on my EDC if needed. 45 thanks for sharing.

[@chrish5224]

Really want the copper I3T. However the black would make for a good blackout EDC piece. Have a hard time settling so I'll end up getting both. Might spring for a rechargeable version just because I lost my charge cable for my Olight pistol light.

[@Camelotsmoon]

Does olight ever repeat limited edition colors? Like I want the W2R baton 2, but I want it in copper... Or just something other than black, brown or purple. I guess if I can't find a good deal on the CU, then I'll just go with a lumitop fw3a; I prefer olights clips and charging method over the lumitop though..

[@epiedra99]

Where are they made? Nice informative video!

[@canebrake91]

Love your videos!

[@aidenestes8124]

76 is my pick, and I would loveeee the olight copper

[@erikhaluzak123]

44 of course it has to be that number. Thanks so much for all the thoughtful videos sir!

[@Dialysisforever]

In an emergency and you need strobe, you need to press the button 3 times? Seems like a strobe would be quicker to access. I think one of my first Olights, you only had to press twice but my last two you have to press 3 times. Thanks for the video.

[@rhino-taco2590]

what timex expedition are you wearing in this video? looks sharp

[@tsinosy2462]

Where can i buy flashlights? Wide range of brands?

[@markgutierrez1932]

Love Olight, I have a couple and there work great. I pick 33.

[@Zero_8347]

I love my Olight Warrior x pro, and my pen/light/laser

[@oldmateadz]

My heart broke a little when you pulled the R50 Pro Seeker out and said she's not an EDC flashlight haha. I've been EDCing that (and an i3E EOS) for a few years now. My babies! But, I am looking at getting the S1R II Baton very soon and retiring the R50 to just home use only.

[@ffbk79]

I'll go with 42. Olight is a good product! Great video!

[@icaro1728]

Well, would be nice to start improving the EDC with a great new flashlight, sooooo 21 it's my guess.

[@jayn8392]

Wish more companies would put the full power mode on as the primary. And the lower powers in defending order. Also wish olight would use more tail cap switches. I'm sure they could make one that also includes a magnetic flush tail cap power switch so you can still stick it on things.

[@clgmafnas]

Very helpful. Thanks man

[@spade2you]

Recently picked up an S1R Baton II. Where was this when in Scouts?! Most of us carried Mag Lights that were heavy and bulky. Really, not that bright. A few "ballers" had spot lights, which were big and had a large battery. Ok, bright. The S1R would put all of that stuff to shame, which is simply impressive given the lack of size.

[@thebaronvontito87]

Any suggestions on an edc light with 1500 lumen max and warm throw?

[@bradpauley1515]

49. My winning guess! ! I hope thanks for opperttuniy to win. Happy Thanksgiving to all. Prayers for the ones in service or that have served for our freedom. Too God bless.

[@dpcummerbund]

12? Twelve. Great video! I love the comparisons, & very honest review.

[@GearReviewDepot]

I have roughly 40 lights and I EDC two lights... One on my person and a slightly larger one in my EDC pack. Out of all my lights it's Olight that I almost always grab. 😃

[@mikecz201]

I have a boatload of lights. All of the Seasons of the Olight Baton and their charging cases. The Olight Arkfeld is my favorite edc by far.

[@Dhruvnater456]

Can Olight flashlights be relied upon in a life and death situation?

[@KarlRadekBonk]

An olight is probably my next edc purchase so thanks for this. My guess is the number 11...

[@ElysyaBalqis-zp9xk]

I love to get this flashlight to complete my EDC

[@Drhilmi]

What mini flash light i can use while charging cable in

[@lr22same47]

Great review! TY

[@warpedone2]

My guess is 39... love these video's, keepem coming

[@hudsonhayer9376]

I was sent the brass I3 with one of my black Friday buys and that little thing became my EDC flash light cus I can't see carrying my warrior x3 around letting it get torn up at work.

[@centralsDiverDude]

Also, could you tell me if the new S2R baton fits in the yellow birch outfitters PocKit Pro??

[@georgepierce720]

I have a few of these kind of lights but went back to carry double and triple A because they last longer

[@efighter]

Am going to order the copper S1R but you dont have a link to amazon. if you put one up ill use it.

[@evanb123]

Taylor, any chance you still have an i3T in copper? I’d happily trade a new i5T in copper.

[@jeremyv821]

My guess is 22! Another amazing video

[@valenteleanos4774]

The I3TEOS uses a single AAA battery but whenever I run into this problem I just pop in an efest IMR 10440 button top rechargeable battery and there you go, you have a rechargeable instead of buying AAA's all the time. You do have to have a propriatary charger though
