Best Everyday Carry Flashlights: All of the EDC Olight Flashlights Compared

[@DaveBare]

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

[@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 😌

[@SurgingApocalypse]

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!

[@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

[@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😎

[@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

[@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. 😃

[@BrokenCurtain]

I have the Olight i3E EOS and the Fenix E01 and I'd say the Fenix is a bit better, even though it's a bit larger. The reason for this is that the Fenix has three lighting modes (5 lm, 25 lm and 100 lm) while the Olight only has one (90 lm). Those low-power settings are usually enough for common tasks - like lighting up the way in front of you as you're walking down a path, checking a map or looking for something under a couch. That means the batteries of the Fenix will last much longer.

[@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.

[@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

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@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

[@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!

[@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

[@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

[@lebinstjohn1871]

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

[@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

[@MJYontheFly]

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

[@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.

[@chad9977]

Excited to own my own (first) compact edc flshlight

[@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.

[@robcoastalga8279]

Flashlight content is needed for all people. Epsecially with a brand like Sofirn that's available fast on Amazon. Doesnt do the icky scammy lumen inflation to the 10th power. if they make it, its atleast not shitty. People who aren't torch heads, need this info.

[@jayssmarshall]

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

[@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

[@phillipkramer1897]

I've got a m1t raider that's missing the tail cap and I believe is burnt up. I've had it for close to 2 years now. Also got m31triton that doesn't work and 4 orb 186s35 batteries that don't work too. My x7 marauder got stolen 2 months ago.

[@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.

[@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!!! 😂😂😂

[@tsinosy2462]

Where can i buy flashlights? Wide range of brands?

[@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.

[@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!!

[@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.

[@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.

[@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..

[@NSDG813]

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

[@ant0n01]

I don’t like the side button versions. I sometimes can’t find the button immediately - I’ve tried aligning the pocket clip to the opposite side - but the clip rotates out of place. Sometimes the clip covers the on/off as it twists in my pocket. I think they should change the dimensions of the the main cylinder so you can feel where the button is. 1 or 2 seconds is a lot of time if you want to use the torch to blind an attacker in self defence. Easy solution - put a bit of metal below the on/off button to stop the clip rotating .... if you are reading Olight :-D

[@LandonWills]

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

[@mab241]

Olight is just amazing till you have an issue with one or want to return one then good luck. They make you out to be a bad person because the light doesn't work . Might as well throw them in the trash if you have an issue , because that is where they belong.

[@liamallen1074]

I know this is a 6 yr old video but I just found out that most of these flashlights are reprogrammable by half clicking your button 5x then holding it down, so you can alternate the automatic turn on mode to high or low

[@slip0n0fall]

Would love an updated EDC flashlight video!

[@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

[@epiedra99]

Where are they made? Nice informative video!

[@practicalguy973]

Nice flashlights. I used to have the Olight I3S EOS and the S1 Baton for a couple years and now I'm EDCing the Lumintop Tool 2.0AA for a few months now and I really like it becuase of the price, size, 4 light levels, battery life, can use common batteries, simpler interface, tail switch and option to head twist to change modes or half press the tail. Having 2 switches is great for mechanical lock out and if your wearing gloves the head is easy to twist. I wish Olight would make a smaller version of the Seeker Pro for pocket carry. I really like the Seeker Pro button with LED battery and lumen status lights!

[@Nothingtoya]

I just got a i1R2 EOS for free when I bought a M2R Pro Warrior. I liked this little i1R2 so much, I bought all the guys on my crew one. I wanted to edc the M2R but its honestly too big, so I ordered the S1R Baton II to use as my edc.

[@Nothingtoya]

@red pill nibbler I now have over 20 of their lights but my favorite ones for edc are the i3t and the s1r2.

[@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.

[@saullopez6942]

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

[@Dingdongwitchisdead]

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

[@masona.5465]

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

[@georgepierce720]

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

[@canebrake]

Love your videos!

[@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.

[@OBrienTruckers1934]

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

[@Tracer1999]

The only thing i really have against usb ports is that you cant charge the light if you power goes out. Which is a situation where a light would be super handy. ( i have plenty of power banks but i'd rather reserve those for my phone)

[@yeetusdeletus6262]

The Olight I5R EOS takes regular AA batteries too which is why I purchased as well😅

[@ffbk79]

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

[@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

[@chinesetomcruise]

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

[@tcerickson2621]

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

[@mattdagger1480]

This needs updated please!🙏🙏

[@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 🔥

[@2000xlt]

Hey, what is that light on your shelf in the back over your left shoulder?? Is it also the same one in the thumbnail? Thank you.

[@2000xlt]

Bump

[@Max-lq6jl]

I'd love to see you review some more value oriented lights instead of just olights. I would suggest the sofirn sc21 pro, the thrunite archer mini, and the wukkos fc11 as all very good edc flashlights in 3 different form factors. All of these lights should be availible for less that $30

[@kienfung3045]

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

[@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

[@patrickmessinger9476]

12,000 Lumens can always be a backup light for your local airport, should the power ever go out. Just an idea. (:

[@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

[@davidcarruthers8274]

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

[@fishxfryed945]

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

[@whatthadawgdoin8634]

Can you do another one for this year?

[@cyaeveryday2134]

Awesome review! The magic number is 3!!

[@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.

[@ElysyaBalqis-zp9xk]

I love to get this flashlight to complete my EDC

[@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.

[@cudan2941]

A keep a S2R Baton ii as my "duty" light. I keep an I1R EOS on my keychain, and another on my backpack.

[@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!

[@williamtaylor3687]

I have to start by saying I hate you, I've bought 3 flashlights since I found your channel. Great videos, keep up the good 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.

[@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

[@zerokool-2058]

Being bright is great but how long does it last.

[@LMMRPM]

I also pick the number 7 because that's my favorite number and the number of flashlights that you had on the table with you! Btw, my name is Peter

[@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

[@Shmyrk]

The Copper Olight i3t eos is Grail now. Can’t find under $100 😩

[@larrywhite8427]

Datman did you see the silver and gold i5t’s that China just got? AMAZING!!!

[@Shmyrk]

Larry White 😍

[@gottfried-o8k]

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

[@efighter]

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

[@KarlRadekBonk]

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

[@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

[@evanb123]

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

[@machendachen]

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

[@TotalDbag24]

I would love those smaller cheaper lights if there was a medium setting at like 50 lumens. 5 to 185 is a pretty big jump

[@stevelambet3267]

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

[@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.

[@timpoe1015]

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

[@MarkoDash]

with the recent sale bought a baldr mini and got a i3e and i3t free

[@rhino-taco2590]

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

[@jarret8711]

47 is the most commonly picked number..... what was it?

[@jeremyv821]

My guess is 22! Another amazing video

[@Zordy21]

Can we get a new version of this vid?

[@jimmykief]

Put it up against surefire or stream light.

[@rohanc1946]

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

[@ky5959]

Great light. My pick is 1?

[@BestDamnEDC]

Hey Daniel. You were the winner of the TPT Slide in the live stream I did on Friday night but I'm having trouble reaching you. Could you email me? [e-mail] Thanks!
