I review the new Olight Diffuse! This is a unique pentagonal flashlight that runs off any 14500/AA cell. Good to see Olight allowing the use of non-proprietary batteries and charging!

Olight Diffuse Transcript
General thoughts after a week of usage/size comparison/practicality/interesting things:
• So this is a brand new light that Olight has just released - it's the 'Diffuse' - an odd name and even stranger design, compared to other Olight models. It has a hexagonal shape, which reminds me of an oversized pencil, but classier. It might be mistaken for a vape or cosmetics. Either way, it looks and feels great… and surprisingly, accepts non-proprietary batteries.
• What you get in the box - manual, USB-C charging cable, lanyard, 14500 cells.
• Comparison with Acebeam Pokelit AA, TS10, Mateminco FT01
Overall Construction, LED, lens, bezel and reflector
• Solid construction. I like how the light is made of one simple machined part, tail-cap. Perfectly machined with no imperfections. Anodizing is slightly glossy and could be slippery with sweaty hands. No knurling. The pentagonal design means that the light will not roll around on a slanted surface.
• The tailcap has a cutout for a tritium tube which is a nice addition. Unscrew to remove the battery. The light is operated by a single metal side switch that also functions as a battery indicator (green, orange, red).
• TIR lens paired with what appears to be an Osram P9. The lens is slightly recessed in the bezel.
• Comes with a normal 14500 button top cell. Accepts any non-proprietary 14500 and primary AA cells too.
UI - modes
• Click and hold from off for moonlight mode. Click and hold to cycle LMH.
• Double press for turbo.
• Triple press for strobe.
Performance - total output, beam profile, longevity, practicality
• CCT, CRI, Ceiling bounce test
• Reasonably floody beam with a nice diffused hotspot.
Considerations
• As of the making of this video, there is no high CRI option - something that is important to some of you when selecting an EDC light.
• 700-lumen max output - although this is respectable, it's not a pocket rocket by any means, but that wasn't the intention behind this light in the first place. It's amazingly bright for its size.
• No clip - it does come with a lanyard though. Would've liked a magnet on the tail too.
Verdict
This is Olight's answer to the classic 14500/AA EDC - and I like how they've given it a unique spin with the pentagonal design, tritium cut-out, and ability to use multiple power sources. It's the perfect light to keep in your pocket, handbag, glove box, and around the house. It also packs a punch for its size!
