Have you ever heard of /seen the Nebo flashlights? I’ve got a couple of them and they have been doing great, so far. I haven’t really been putting them through the same abuse as y’all. But, that’s what y’all are all about. I really can’t thank you guys enough for everything you do. It’s really awesome that you are really helping all of us save money and time and huge headaches from dealing with the nonsense from crap products.

[@plkracer]

@@johnanthony8865 the Nebo flashlights do well, but they are just one of the name brand lights out of China. Many of their models don't appreciate being dropped from height, the battery tends to crush/break the contact on the positive side when dropped on the lens from heights over 4ft, but it can be fixed if you know how to take them apart.

I use an olight as a diesel mechanic daily and am always impressed. I also support your decision to pull on the reigns with them as you're here to level the playing field and helping any certain company in marketing would lead people to think that you're biased. Thanks for staying true!

Thanks for saying so. It's a tight line to walk, but when we do purchase more Olight's we're hoping they do well against the others as so far their lumen ratings have been spot on.

Nice to see Milwaukee takes their flashlights seriously, not just as some generic accessory with their name slapped on it. Love that consistent output level throughout the discharge cycle, and good drop resistance. I can see a use for both the 2160 and 2011R, some overlap in their uses, but it looks to me like the 2011R is more of a light for inspectors and technicians while the 2160 is for heavier duty and/or harsher environments.

[@teamvigod]

I own many Fenix and Olight flashlights. Both are excellent qualitatively. The build, performance and quality. I prefer Olight over Fenix only from design as they just look and feel better to me. Purely subjective. The light output and capacity of each always amaze me. So my vote is to put these up against themselves, each other and against other lights. Love the channel and enjoyed the response to olight. You are the consumer reports of KZbin for the stuff you review and the quantifiable data driven approach is incredible.

[@reahs4815]

I have two fenix flashlights and love them but I have no Olights because if I buy stuff then batteries and chargers from other stuff should also work with them and olights special chargers and batteries just turns me off instantly. I think both are good but I think fenix are a bit better (several reasons) but I would also really like to see a Fenix vs Olight video both in cheap flashlights and medium flashlights (80-110$)

[@duncdunc76]

Another great quality info vid👍 One curiosity for me being an admitted Fenix fan is if the Fenix would perform better in the light output test if it was tested at a similar lumen output of the Milwaukees. I find that any smaller light designed to have an extreme turbo or high output for its size is bound to get hot quick, drain its battery fast , and therefore have reduced run time performance If that high lumen level is used for an extended period of time. I believe that the turbo modes on these small lights are designed for occassional short burst use but not designed for any extended run time at those levels and there for testing them at max run time at those levels would certianly hurt runtime performance significantly.

[@behindthewolfseyes]

I've used and abused my Fenix PD32 for years with no drop in performance. I love the UI for it. A Streamlight Microstream USB has replaced it as a daily just because it's so much smaller while being just as bright and avoiding battery replacement. Great series!

[@mhadlock78]

Regarding magnetic EDC lights. After years of carrying a S2 Baton with a mag base, I cannot imagine NOT having the convenience of a magnetic base. I work in IT and being able to stick it to the side of a server rack wile working is really nice. Turbo mode is indeed an function of heat, I generally never use it since non turbo is usually bright enough. Despite their aggressive marketing I find Olight to be a nice balance between cost and quality. Their magnetic chargers are a great feature as well. Really enjoy your content and transparency. Nice to see ethics being priority in 2021.

Haven't seen a lot mentioned about NEBO. They may not be the brightest, but Ive carried a Redline Torchy for going on 3 years now and as an EDC for a mechanic I usually get a week out of the battery, and even the low setting is more than usable. Not to mention I haven't been able to kill it yet. For $30 it's honestly a really solid light, especially considering its only ~2" long and ~¾" diameter, with that same hat/pocket clip as the 2011R

[@reahs4815]

its nice to see it tested but I would also like to see another test where the lights are at the same outputlevels

[@TheTastefulThickness]

The high lumen lights, like the fenix, are designed to offer high output for short bursts. The whole design philosophy is around that, let you see 2 football fields away for a bit if you need to, but live in the 300-600 lumen range otherwise. They dont get that.

[@sethtenrec]

15:25 “very impressive!” Kind of ties together my two favorite testing channels.

[@Hansengineering]

Flashlights stepping down brightness is a thermal management thing. For brighter lights at longer run times, you need to get that heat out of there somehow. Unfortunately, physics largely prevents that in a pocketable format.

[@tgwhelan]

You guys just rock -- thank you for your channel and videos! I've watched almost all of them!!!

[@drackar]

Honestly for me, the Itonics that took 24ft drops repeatedly without issue is the clear winner here, baring actual true to advertisement output. The price to lumen and durability is...impressive. I think I'm going to buy a couple of those for the trunk of the car if nothing else.

Just to add my 2 cents. Having an EDC flashlight with a magnet on it is a must for me. I work construction and do service calls for my work. Many times I am in a spot where I am working inside of a metal box. Having the ability to turn on my flash light and stick it to the top so I am hands free is really nice.

Have you considered doing PWM measurements? Many light use this method to control brightness. Unfortunately some models use PWM frequencies and duty Cycles that are visible under normal use. This makes using the lights very unpleasant to use over long term use. Thanks for the excellent videos.

[@PhilipNiedermann]

Huge fan of the new flashlight tests you guys do. I'm a ships engineer and I have some wide ranging requirements for lighting. The one in my pocket needs to be bright enough to illuminate a shadowed spot while standing in bright sunlight, and dim enough not to kill your night sight when trying to find something in a darkened wheelhouse. The light I currently favor is a Thrunight TN12 (2016 version, not v4) 1100 Lumens down to 0.4 lumens. My second is a Fenix PD35 (1900 lumens down to around 10 lumens) I definitely like the Snap On lights you reviewed early on and wonder if the imitation of those are worth anything. Amazon search comes up with Maxxeon and some no names.

[@PhysiqueGeek]

Love these videos! I very much so respect that you guys don't except free products or discounts even, awesome stuff. I've always figured that lumen ratings were pretty much only loose ballpark numbers.

Very informative from a testing standpoint. Most people just looking for a flashlight will be fairly happy with most lights on the shelves, providing they are LED. There is more to flashlights than lumens though, so if anyone is looking for a certain type of beam I would advise watching many of the very good flashlight channels on KZbin. The reason behind the 1 meter drop test is essentially the user dropping it from your hand. I would suggest using a lanyard to prevent this from happening especially if you have paid a decent price for the light. Driving over and dropping items from great heights is usually just a marketing ploy. New subscriber 👍

Keep up the great work! I think you should also be measuring the Lux in each of these tests? A Lux meter is inexpensive and might be a better unit of measurement since it's supposed to be measured away from the source of the light. Also, as I understand it, the lumens on a package are usually just the potential brightness from a light bulb vs what they actually throw with their reflectors? A few other things to measure.. Lux at various distances.. 5, 10, 20ft, etc. Compare the spread of the light (spot vs flood), etc.

For olight i think with 15 clicks of the power button you can disable the prox sensor.

[@RayneAngelus]

My understanding of the way Fenix lights work is that they have a transformer of some sort in the circuitry that pulls as much power from the battery as possible to keep them running stably at brighter levels before stepping down/falling off. The upshot to this is longer runtimes at any given output and generally holding that output for the duration. The downside is... it tends to go from "running" to "not" pretty quickly once the battery can no longer sustain the draw levels it's asking for, dropping straight to the lowest brightness setting until it's fully dead.

Again remember where you bought it. I liked their lights and truthfully love their lanterns but their support system... hope this changes in the future. Maybe it already has my troubles were a few years back They were only ever competing for backup duty to the Surefire anyway. Keep up the great tests thanks!
