My Baldr Pro R stopped charging after 1.5 yr. I only charged it a handful of time. It did have over 1000 rounds through it though. Olight replaced within a week of sending it back.

[@FtLMale1]

Given the Streamlight was the only one that had the laser/light combo fail, it seems a poor choice to bet my life on. Plus stripping the Streamlight down just to deal with the batteries, vs just slapping the charger on the Baldr,... I just ordered two Baldr Pro models with lasers for two of my handguns, and I am glad I did.

I'm going with Olight, I have a balder mini and i have NOT been kind to that thing and it just keeps going. I feel like Olight is really starting to make other companies stop just riding on the pedigree they developed, as Olight is putting out products that are comparable or slightly superior IMO to others but at a price point FAR under what others are charging.

[@RobertJohnVenable]

I have both- O-light is obviously far superior.

[@u.t.grader4210]

I use both and never had a problem with either but I prefer the controls of the O Light.

[@RadDadisRad]

Olight controls are for sure better. The streamlight light output is better as it is closer to the advertised output.

I would like to see a comparison between the PL Pro and the Baldr Pro R. I love the PL Pro but love the idea of the green laser even more

[@jamesbondo13]

Well if I can't find anything more ideal, imma order that specific olight. The dimensions are perfect for either a flush barrel, or just short of barrel fitment on my brand new 5.74" Canik Mete SFX Pro, as well as a flush, or just short of flush fit with the bottom of my trigger guard.

I have a BALDR Pro. It's great, especially for the price. It steps down from max brightness very quickly (10 seconds and not the advertised 30) unless the batteries are fully charged.

[@BustahNutt]

I’ll stick with my Baldr Pro.

[@apprenticegilligan1635]

Would have to go with the olight, only because I have huge fingers so would probably constantly be hitting the switch on the Streamlight one. Thank you for the great review.

[@hamboney187able]

The strobe mode on my baldr pro r is just as simple as pressing both paddles together quickly from any mode. Off or on. I wonder if this was a change they made to the later variant?

[@evo11mr]

Brother I own a tlr7 and more than a few handheld Olights…I would have loved to pickup the new baldr just to have the laser but sadly I have already purchased a bunch of lights from the previous sale. Wish I would have waited for this sale so I could have added it in.

[@zerofail.455]

I have both but lean towards Olight mainly due to the recharge capability. I hate the Streamlight toggle. Ive wasted many batteries due to the switch accidentally activating.

That Baldr sticks out alot further 😳 then I thought it would. Wow!

[@PeacemakerPL]

a hair longer than Surefire X300 that no one complains about it size lol

[@KravMagoo]

@@PeacemakerPL Yeah, I had a choice. Shorter (which would be nice) or brighter. I haven't noticed my draw impacted by the extra length, so the disadvantage is mostly cosmetic. But I wanted my light to be stupid bright, because my life is on the line. The Pro R's 1350 lumens creates a defense reaction (squinting, raising hands, looking away) in everyone I've pointed it at (safely for demonstration purposes). I will use those few seconds to my advantage if the time ever comes...let's hope it never does. Also, to get the full brightness, be sure to double-click while the light is on. The default mode is a lower brightness.

[@mrk3270]

Love Olight, the only problem I have is finding holster for them.

[@alainloyer5719]

After using both Streamlight and Olight, my preference is definitely Olight. The difference of lumens in long range is not really relevant, but the GL difference bethween the two, I find the Olight much robust and precise.

[@joe.halstead8822]

The laser bounces and doesn’t hold zero 5/22

[@ridehi8083]

nice video. I perfer the ambidextrous controls of the OLight. a lefty or righty is able to manipulate the controls easily. unlike the TLR's. Also, if the new Bladr Pro is like the previous Baldr Pro then getting to strobe is simply squeezing both controls at the same time. then to turn off strobe, push either control.

[@SuperSpeederCarl]

I have about 3000 rounds with my Pro R on my EDC(FN 5-7), no problems so far and I don’t mind the length because I have a threaded barrel anyway.

I personally carry a fnx.40 with a baldr mini . I've been running this setup for well over a year with daily carry and abuse. I've never had a single issue with its function or even with the rechargeable battery. It's sat for months at a time without any parasitic drain at all. I'm not saying streamlight makes bad lights but I am saying I've beat the ever loving shit out of my olight's and they still working perfectly. I even bought a second baldr mini with anticipation of a failure, that was over a year probably more like 2 years and my backup baldr is still brand new in the box.

Thanks for the great review these two lights. I have a question about the Olight rechargeable. I have a PL Pro Valkyrie that I'm enjoying very much but I wonder if when the batteries stop holding a charge if there is a way to replace them. I'm sure it would void any warranty but on the switch cap under the sticker there is an epoxy covered T6 torque screw.

Not that I’m aware of.

[@AdlianoAlves]

Streamlight if you double click to on the strobe will stay on (no need to hold)

[@crites123456789]

Nice review. I follow a bunch of groups on mewe and alot of the guys hate olight because they "blow up" I've heard of this but think they've addressed the issue. That being said I only have a few weapons lights and they're all olight. Bought the odin pro r and then another one and finally got baldr pro r for the pdp 4 inch. Didn't realize how far it stuck out there, kinda wish it was a little shorter but man is it a nice light for the money. Think I'll get a little bit of a shorter less powerful model and put this one on my full size 320.

[@E.IS.M.I.A.]

I’m not 100% sure but from what I heard it was the user having a cheap battery in it, I could be wrong though.

[@HarleyWood23]

There are a few manufacturers that produce holsters for just about every Olight. Werkz Holsters for example. Idk about this parity Streamlight, but generally they have pretty deep support as well. Definitely worth researching before you buy.

[@markbrandt504]

Have you used a Baldre or Valkyrie pro on an AR pistol? Or would u recommend something else.

[@troutstag]

I run the Valkyrie pro on my ar pistols and love the close spill and then defined hotspot of that reflector. I am also curious of a head to head on these. A laser in the Valkyrie would be awesome.

[@PeacemakerPL]

Did You know that if You just press both buttons same time it will activate strobe without that gimmick you show us? PL2 and other function like that. Anyway, mine Pro R and Odin GL M is on the way, will be tommorow. I have to decide between Odin and Odin GL M for AR and PL2 vs Pro R for handgun :)

With the Pro R, your strobe procedure is incorrect. To activate strobe, you only need to click both sides at the same time. Not sure why you called it gimmicky...to me, the Pro R strobe almost seems like cheating...it will give you a few seconds of advantage for sure when fractions of a second count.

I have olights, streamlights, and surefire and have multiple lights from each company. I will say the the tlr-2 is the only light out of the 3 company's that I really regret buying. Not really any holster options for the tlr-2 and the elevation and windage adjustments on the laser have always been weird. It's just alot of money for what ur getting really, if I could do it again I would have just bought another surefire x300 or 2 tlr-1 instead. As far as the laser flickering on the tlr -2, it's from the batteries being low, at least that's what mine does. If u keep running it the light will eventually start to flicker too and then stop working all together. Replace the batteries and the laser issue will go away.

You said you don't know which one you prefer, but man you railed on the streamlight the whole time 😂 For something "battle proven" that laser wasn't working at all. You have to remove it from the gun to swap batteries and then go through the hassle of rezero-ing, poor switch placement, flimsy switch, too expensive. Similarly bulky, similar light output, same aluminum body, neither made in America. The Olight seems like a way better deal to me.

Almost all lights that aren't rechargeable need to be removed to change the batteries. I hate rechargeables. You are going to lose run time over time as the battery degrades.

Laser

[@jasongaudreau2075]

I’m hoping to have caught you before purchase. I have the Olight Baldr S (800 lumen green laser) it’s cheaper than both and about the same light output. That said, I’m looking at the pro R just for more light. The laser, for me, is pointless (get the joke?) as it annoys everyone else at the target range and shows everyone how much caffeine you had that day. For all purposes aiming should be learned on iron sights first and foremost…then red dot optics as they are fast and day/night visible. The “dot” is adjusted to “point of aim:point of impact “ on my weapon only for the use of I can’t aim weapon traditionally. Which basically means “hip shots”. That laser will be the price difference between the lower grade light (Olight) and the higher grade NON laser light (streamlight tlr1 HL). Which, in all hindsight, I wish I bought first. Don’t get me wrong I love my Olight Baldr S as it DOES has the high lumen output. But if I were to do it again I know now that the “laser dot” is pretty much just a gimmicky thing that adds price. In fact…I’d advise you to save up for 1 single purchase you won’t regret….modlite PL350-PLHV2.

[@ethanray7342]

@@jasongaudreau2075the laser is for faster target acquisition if you’re in a pinch and have the laser zeroed then all you need to do is point and pull it’s a lot faster than acquiring with irons or a red dot granted train both incase the laser fails and don’t rely on the laser.
