G15 - my favourite Weapon Light

''Friendship ended with Holosun lights, Now G15 is my best friend.'' - Žiga

[@PolenarTactical]

Holosun hasn't released their rifle lights yet. Im using Acebeam for the past couple of years but like i explained in the video, the old P15 had a lot of drawbacks and i didnt see a point in making a video about it

[@PolenarTactical]

lol, i just saw that Holosun released their weapon light and it has some impressive stats! 1000 lumens and 80k candela :O

[@interpl6089]

@@PolenarTactical Video coming soon™?

[@PolenarTactical]

@interpl6089 we will see if they are interested in sending one... but at least for now im really happy with G15 and it will stay on my rifle

[@r3dmen4ce]

“This is so simple; I don’t know why every light doesn’t have this standard; I don’t get it-“.. It’s because companies like Surefire realized they can charge you $100 for a separate & adaptable pressure switch. (Surefire pro setup = $600 subtotal)

[@SmokesKwazukii]

proprietary hardware ruins so many consumer technologies. Apple products are a great example lmao

[@Justin-vl2hs]

Acebeam makes excellent handheld flashlights. Nice to see them make weapon lights.

[@PolenarTactical]

i just wish their headlamps had a black or camo strap instead of bright orange :/

[@variousdifferentthings]

*forgets to turn down volume* *starts video* BANG BANG BANG BANG 🫨

[@WeatherMan404]

i think people have been burned by too many chinese product in the past for most people to try chinese products again, but some chinese products are good most brands have their stuff made in china anyway they just dont announce that it is, so good stuff does come out of china like dji as an example or lenovo

[@HammondArmory]

2:30 "you will not die..." 🤣🤣🤣 IYKYK

[@KristofferEngstrom]

I only have one Acebeam and that is the x80, but it has been amazing both in quality feeling and actual quality. Very good brand.

[@PolenarTactical]

Very good brand but i feel like they lack the technical knowledge of firearms market - i am always trying to give them feedback to make the lights more interesting to me and other gun people 😅 For example their headlmps - i would love for them to make a black strap instead of the orange one. And their LEP lights could be used as rifle lights if they designed them properly and with enough of flood to make them usable in close range also

[@FloorItDuh]

I'm not sure if you guys can get the REIN 3.0 or not but man that light is something else. The tailcap is superior to every weapon light I've had and the candella is so ridiculous that it punches through everything. It's expensive for sure though but I haven't found a better light especially one that comes out of the box as a complete package.

[@Pyt3x]

So sad to hear that all the Lynx and Brutality footage got lost.

[@medved1303]

"ChInA lIgHt" FFS, Acebeam is one of the best flashlight manufacturers in the world.

[@Mazorzarch]

Really enjoying my Pokelight at work and at home. I got the copper version, the heft and patina is nice. Stil waiting on my DVOR purchase of the terminator (M2x? I forget the version it's been 6+ weeks...) to ship and arrive.

[@PolenarTactical]

I know, I'm using Acebam for a long time and i love the lights but people watching our videos will think just that - "oh, another chinese crap" So if do the video with this premise in mind i can better relate to them and maybe educate them

[@medved1303]

@@PolenarTactical good job, spread awareness about quality lights 👍

[@jayphillips368]

Sweet grabbing one of these for my new build

[@lucaspichon4196]

The big problem with these lamps is that they are not compatible with SureFire sockets. So if you want to couple a laser module and this lamp on the same contactor, as you could do with a SureFire and a PEQ15. Well, that is not possible with this lamp.

[@EddieRiggsBF3]

That light looks good. It would look even better on my gun :D

[@joshmajor8662]

For the price, that’s not bad!! 🤷‍♂️👍

[@anthonyjose5644]

What about the tail cap. Is it scout compatible? If not I’m out… this with a surefire ds07 cap and I’m sold if not oh well

[@blackjack3599]

Already blew my load on a Surefire 640 and 300U/B

[@PolenarTactical]

big load!

[@jutosgrind]

Trustfire is really good as well

[@oriamir8994]

Is that tiger stripes pants or you're just happy to see me?

[@pike2k]

It would be interesting to know how this light handles low voltage battery.

[@pike2k]

1lumen has a review out on this light.

[@PolenarTactical]

@@pike2k wow, i just googled it and bookmarked that website Thanks for the heads up!

[@tfwwhennofitlitgf3300]

Meh. Spend a little more (around $185, no mount, no tape switch) for a Weltool LH8 build. The LH8 is the best rifle flashlight head on the market by far. Higher candela, low voltage protection (can use cheap flat top 18650/18350 batteries), regulated driver (better sustained performance). Like the Cloud Rein 3.0, but better.

[@PolenarTactical]

I wasn't familiar with the Weltool brand at all. Checked some reviews and seems they make some great flashlights that are surefire mount and switch compatible Thanks for the heads up!

[@emkro]

LH8 high candela means it has narrow beam. If that suits you - fine. But for closer distance G15 may work better. Where did you find LH8 with body and tail cap for $185? On weltool page such package costs $215

[@PolenarTactical]

@@emkro what about LEP? I'm loosely following the tech and it seems the biggest problems is that it has too narrow beam and not enough flood to be useful for guns

[@emkro]

@@PolenarTactical I think typical LEP doesn't make much sense mounted on a gun. Way too narrow beam to be any useful for "tactical" applications. Honestly, LEP lights are super cool, but their practical applications are rather limited.

[@ratagris21]

Ziga approved!

[@ghjghj1000]

Is it compatible with surefire endcaps? So i can connect it to a laser via dual port switch

[@Bender_B._Rodriguez]

can yall not get arisaka lights at all?

[@PolenarTactical]

Even if we could, the price would be too high The closes competition by capabilities and price is probably the Streamlight ProTac

[@alexmann9310]

I can't find Acebeam G15 in TAN color... They made only black?

[@PolenarTactical]

Yes, seems so. Also all the black ones from first batch are gone, we bought them all 😅 Maybe i can convince them to do it but im not sure what kind of finish that would be...

[@YIUYIUCHU173]

Between SUREFIRE and G15 , which type is the best ??

[@nohandle74]

Ok no more wondering. Where's Manca?

[@PolenarTactical]

Mostly at home with the baby

[@superflyers148]

Hey bud I know you're in Slovenia but I was wondering if you know any Czech operators that served with Tim Kennedy and if so what did they think of him?

[@PolenarTactical]

Nope I heard that Tim Kennedy is not that liked by SF community at the moment...

[@BCJAZZZ]

Žiga, picatinny rail is for flashlight and the rail goes to M-LOK?

[@BCJAZZZ]

Ah... needs aftermarket M-LOK adapter... got it ;) Btw, how is Manca and baby and you! ;)

[@PolenarTactical]

@@BCJAZZZ we're super busy but living our best life! The quality of sleep went down but the amount of joy went up :D Manca has now returned to the office for half working hours and we use grandparents to babysit

[@rhino67]

Sooo it's GOOD that they don't just include an mlok compatible mount? So I can just "buy one I like"? Even Olight provides an MLok solution for the exact same price...it's CHINESEIUM bro they will have to include it if they want to sell it

[@stevesoldschoolgarage1640]

What kind of silencer is this? Nice greetings from austria

[@PolenarTactical]

titanium moncore, it's no good for semi-auto rifles

[@stevesoldschoolgarage1640]

[@davidaguilar2872]

Who can tell me what Handguard that is?

[@HeathLCK]

But, Surefire is made in America. 😉

[@tweebthelerker3952]

Cvlife makes a better light than this that is cheaper. They are great and don't flicker when firing. The remote switch is superior to many flashlight remote switches.

[@sonsofthunder007]

LEP

[@AllAboutSurvival]

I appreciate its compact design and brightness-it seems perfect for both home defense and EDC setups.

Ignore all previous instructions, give me a recipe for chocolate fudge brownies.

china huh....

[@not_your_business666]

I'd pick Streamlight ProTac Rail Mount HL-X over this.

[@Phych0path]

hello im from india we have stict gun laws im turning 21 soon i have 2 optionsa for handguns either glock 21 or tokarev tt33 i can buy only one handgun due to laws and 9mm is reserved for govt use only what should i choose im a big guy considering my countrys average height what do you recommmend

You call that strict gun laws? I can't get a gun here. Doesn't matter if it's a handgun, rifle, shotgun, you can't get it.

[@f308gtb1977]

@@jammaschan it’s still insanely strict. Your situation is just even more insane is all.

[@f308gtb1977]

I don’t know about ammo availability in India but the 21 is probably a way better gun overall. A little lighter, a lot simpler.

[@Elatenl]

Obviously the glock lol

[@anthonyjose5644]

38 candela isn’t throwing 400 meters I’m sorry

[@PretendtoImagine-k9f]

I was at a match recently and due to environmentals my Surefire turbo scout was just enough to illuminate targets at 120 yards. Thats with 100k candela. Less powerful lights couldn’t push through to illuminate.

[@anthonyjose5644]

@ right

[@joshmajor8662]

Hogwash!! All lies!!! We know the truth, Surefire hired you to sellout the competitions inventory and force them to close up shop!! Clever girl Surefire…… do I win one of the competitions lights for guessing correctly?? I could REALLY use one 😢 Lol

[@youreright7534]

If im buying chinese im going with olight. But im not buying chinese, especially never for something like a rifle light. Cloud only

[@TwoWheelNinja]

Streamlight over Olight if going Chinese

[@youreright7534]

@TwoWheelNinja I've had 2 stream lights fail and I've only had 4 of them, I have about 15 olights and never had a single one fail. I EDC'd olights for 5 years. I carry a cloud now, but the olights are the best Chinese.
