EDC Flashlight Showdown - Fenix E18R v2.0 vs Olight Baton 4

[@LiamBuehler]

Great review man! I was stuck between these 2 and I think I’m going to get the Fenix. If you had to choose one what would you pick after having and using both?

[@LKN4WAR]

USB charge case for o light. And power bank for other devices. Easy choice.

[@Drpsal]

Hello, Did the charger existed when you made your video and does it solve your problem for choosing, or does it make no difference ? Thank you for your answer and thanks for your videos

[@GoranFreeman]

Also the olight use proprietary battery

Fenix e18r - When I lightly rub the side button with my thumb, I can feel some play. It wobbles a little. Is it normal?

[@HuntPlans]

Mine does not have any wobble. You may want to reach out to Fenix if it is still under warranty.

[@vinhha6073]

I had both.. I love lights..honestly Fenix better on my opinion.. low and medium mode.. haft of lumen ..nahhh olight shouldn't put it on.. 🤷🏼‍♂️.. that's the only one reason Fenix better and I like ✌️

[@tfptalowahfishingpaddlinga3742]

Get the premium comes with the case which keeps it charged and will charge other stuff bidirectional usb c plug makes the Olight a superb product

[@HuntPlans]

I will have to take a look at that. I do hesitate as if something happens to the case I have the same issues on charging. I prioritize everything to be usb-c rechargeable so I can use any battery or solar charger to get me going again.

[@onedirection3510]

@@HuntPlansInteresting point. If you lose the case it’s both a costly loss as well as zero power. USB-c cables are definitely ubiquitous at this point. Grrrr Baton 4 is just so darn cool looking! lol 😅

[@Whitepinoy]

Olight has a charging case that will charge up to 5 times. Also the warranty is lifetime

Interesting! Olight should get rid of this magnetic charger! By today's standards type C is way better! Both lights look nice!

I have 4 working flashlights from Fenix(the oldest is about 20 years old) and I also have 4 broken Olight flashlights. So I will probably never ever buy an Olight again.

[@DurpeeSlurpee]

I’ve never bought a fenix but i’ve had my original olights since 2010. I still carry my s1 baton every day for work. Do you drive over them or something?

[@samuelgustavsson1483]

@ 3 of the olights was used on 3 different family members keychains. When I talked to olight about it they even admitted having problems with them, something their lights dont seem to like is cold weather and I live in Sweden. So that might be the problem. If you google olight problem, you will find a lot of people having issues with their older lights. BUT to their defence, it seems they are getting better. But until then, I will go with my flashlights from fenix. I have 4 of them, one about 20 years old, still works, but it has a low output. One is the tk22 from 2014, its been used everyday since i bought it. I carry it on my long dog walks every single night. In rain and snow. Even the fenix batteries I bought with the flashlight 2014 still works. I also have a ld20 at work, I bought that about 2009, works great. As a few examples. I use my flashlights a lot, but I usually dont abuse them. However, about 5 years ago I dropt the tk22 from the third floor in an apartment house, stone stairs. 🙄 It bounced all the way down to the bottom floor and I thought that was it, but it still works fine.

Why are you lying?

[@LKN4WAR]

Watch sensible prepper spiking lights on concrete when they don’t fail the drop tests.
