Olight Obulb Plus is finally perfect for my use!

[@smky143]

They really hit the mark with this one. Just wish it had an onboard battery indicator.

[@cheule]

It would have been good. But with its phenomenal battery life, and ability to run while plugged in, a small niggle.

[@iou0]

@@cheule Run while plugged in eh? Does it have battery bypass when fully charged?

[@Soei23]

I was going for the Pro but after seeing your vid I've changed my mind. Your enthusiasm for the product really 'shines' 😉through.

[@TopDog8762]

These really have evolved into something very useful.

[@knate44]

For anyone on the fence, can confirm, the obulb plus is absolutely where it is at. I've been moving it has been an absolute lifesaver in the house where not all the lighting fixtures have been set up. There's a dozen different places it has come in handy, from painting rooms to setting up closets.

[@cheule]

I agree. One Obulb can definitely save you from darkness in a power outage as well.

[@maxlvledc]

This was really helpful for me! thanks!

[@Elrond_Hubbard1]

For anyone on the fence about getting one of these, do it. Its so much more impressive in person. The wife and I, use it at night on our porch enjoying a beverage and it's so relaxing.

[@cheule]

Great feedback

[@firefighter387]

Looks good but the very first O bulbs were click on click off then they change it to click on hold off.

[@cheule]

These are double click for off. Single click cycles modes.

[@Soei23]

Lolz, the other lights at the end that you're a fan of, I've got them all except for the Marauder mini, that's on my 'must have' list. 😆

[@PittiesAndMore]

Are you going to do a review of the Obulb Pro S?

[@wxwatcher9315]

As an older Olight fan and advocate, I really wanted these Obulbs but they were out of stock. Then I picked up a LUX PRO LP1535 retro led lantern at a local shop and was extremely impressed. If you want a sturdy simple dimmable (5 to 265 lumens) light that is attractive, affordable, and very practical, then try the little LUX PRO. It uses AA batteries and runs continuously for nearly 3 weeks on low (warm ambient night light). Love it so much that I now have several (only $9.99 at Tractor Supply or $12.99 online).

[@blob2092]

wow nice ad

[@darrensmith6782]

Obulb looks awesome for a night stand. I wish it had a sunset function that slowly goes from white to yellow to orange then red. Would be cool. I really want one.

[@cheule]

Yes, those would be very cool functions!

[@HSTMachine]

They have a solid Sunset mode that is blue, pink, and orange. It's my most used preset.

[@bigbr4]

I recently got a storm shelter. It’s all metal and I’m curious if there is a magnet on this obulb like that’s on my edc light.

[@JJ-ly3vy]

I believe they sell a magnet hanger for the lights, but it either has a hook or a ring, not sure how you would connect it to the obulb. I have seen like an inexpensive 12" or so long silicone string(?) that had a cup on the bottom that for the obulb perfectly. but I didn't know they had different sizes of it until I watched this review. maybe they have one for the plus? I'm sure one could figure out how to attach it to a strong magnet, maybe a rare earth or neodymium magnet.

[@cheule]

The mix comes with a metal object the size of a guitar pick with 3M tape on one side. It’s precisely so that you can hang your Obulb.

[@aaronmorrison9974]

Very informative well done but you can change the dimming on the pro by holding the bottom.

[@HondaFit4Adventure]

I love my MC75s. I remeber when the Pro came out and you couldnt access some of the features without the app. I liked using these while camping. In the tent and as a headlamp. I didnt want to mess around with my phone to change the settings. I'm not completely sold on the ProS. All though the soft white is perfectly fine, a daylight white would be nice for filming purposes. I also like quickly scrolling through 7 modes to green and red for at night so it wont destroy my night vision. Thank you for the in depth review.

[@cheule]

Thanks for the info!

[@N4CR]

They need to update the app with more colour control and standard colour mixing functionality. I have the Pro S and it can adjust brightness with the underside button. I agree the top button is a much better design.

[@JakeRose-k6o]

Great review! Came here thinking this would be for the kids... now I need a few pokeballs for myself

[@rhpicayune]

Hi Cheule, Thanks for the great review! Watching your vid really helped me make up my mind on getting one; I just received mine a couple days ago along with my patriotic, red, white and blue Oight i3 AAA flashlight. I really love them, and the Obulb plus has so many color options when I operate it with my iPhone. It is a great area light and nightlight

[@cheule]

Glad I could help!

[@grahamcairns2249]

I would love to see a comparison between the obulb and the sofirn lt1s... they have some major differences and yet they are in the same "group " of lighting. *hint hint*😂 thanks for the video

[@knife_knut]

Good review - thanks! 👍

[@cheule]

Thanks for watching!

[@TheASM196]

These are interesting and when I saw the capacity they had of various colour changes, I bought a couple! That being said, the app is the key to building your own presets and it would be a great "nice to have" in an app update to offer customizable colour change speed, frequency, intensity, patterns, etc.

[@mikeenslin3009]

This is the kind of futuristic stuff I want from the flashlight makers. It seems like a bit of a toy but fun for sure. And looks great

[@daryoushborja5115]

can you review the PD 25R Fenix?

[@chevyguy1985]

As far as the obulb pro s brightness goes. You can hold down the button to make it brighter or dimmer. He said you have to use the app. Go to the color you want just hold the button down and watch the brightness go up and down but I do love the obulb plus more.

[@cheule]

It’s different between the pro and the plus.

[@JackParsons2]

They still kind of expensive for what it is but I'll prolly buy a couple anyways. I got the original one and the one with the multi colors and use them almost daily.

[@cheule]

I find this one much better than the Pro because of the lower output and better on unit controls.

[@CalAndHan]

Anyone else having the battery drain issue? When they are off charge and turned off they are still losing battery when checking the battery percentage on the app? Also ran a run time test on two that I have and both have only lasted on the white high setting for 2 hours rather than the time stated on the box which adds up too 2hrs and 30 minutes.

[@cheule]

There is a Bluetooth connection that stays open and uses power. After (I believe) 12 hours it goes into a sleep mode and shuts the connection. Then you have to physically wake it with a tap.

[@CalAndHan]

@@cheule I see, that makes sense! Thanks for the info it's much appreciated! 😊

[@davidvandusen6556]

Cant wait for you to review the Sphere!

[@ks-hg5vo]

What batteries it take? I know the eu are bringing in law for products with non replaceable batteries not being sold.

[@cheule]

The batteries are non-user serviceable. That seems like a difficult law to pass, products like wireless earbuds practically mandate non-serviceability.

[@ks-hg5vo]

@@cheule thanks for the info. Shame . I'm quite a heavy user and have flashlights still working from my childhood. The only ones I've binned is my nitecire tubes . "European Parliament passed a change to a law that will force replaceable batteries on all gadgets, including smartphones." That will piss off apple. Depends on the definition of gadget I guess

[@victorvannatter312]

You should’ve gone with the xhp 50.3 hi in there. I imagine the throw would’ve stayed more similar

[@keithsimpson3801]

I heard you say that you can set this up so when the battery percentage turns 20% you can set it to turn red. I've tried everything under the sun and still cannot get it to do it. Can you give me some info on this?

[@cheule]

It in the app, there are scripting events that can be run from the phone.

[@mikeenslin3009]

When people say they like the high cri LEDs they really mean tint in my experience. I don't know anyone that would prefer a neutral high cri led to a rosy non high cri. My armytek has an xhp50 I think and it's pretty warm white with an amazing tint. Looks better than most of my hanklights

[@cheule]

I could not have said it better myself.

[@bjsmith2964]

Look I'm Olight for LIFE but I wish they would have kept the motion option like what was on the MC. We still use our MC for a night light in our bathroom it sits on a MCA olight brick so it stays hot. When you walk in boom it gives you a little light but the new ones like the pro and the plus do not have this feature. I would love to have a little bit more light when I pee and putting the sensor mode on either one of these would have been a home run. I hope they put that feature back on new Obulb designs!!

[@blob2092]

dude just pee sitting down, its much nicer, just be careful if you have a shortcock that doesnt reach into the bowl, and you pee over the rim, however there are splashguards you can buy to prevent this

[@knate44]

The sale just went live in Canada and I ordered a bundle with one of these, a Perun mini 2 and a Marauder Mini. I can't freaking wait! I still use my obulb MC attached to my Olamp because the button makes way more sense. Being able to have that control on the obulb plus itself sounds amazing. I like a nice incandescent glow for a diffuse light source.

[@patj462]

Maybe "better" than the Pro model, but changing the brightness using touch-control (without the app) is an absolute PITA: The ramp function kicks in way too fast, making it almost impossible to reach the desired brightness levels (except min/max, of course). It's also incredibly annoying that you can't really control whether the ramping should start going up - or down.

[@cheule]

You make valid points. And hopefully this product will keep evolving. But as is, I am happily using these in my bedrooms.

[@JK-dv3qe]

i am getting a bunch of Obulbs after this review 👍👍

[@azdesertnews7563]

Yes sir thats when i bought all my lights. SALE baby

[@happyknife8785]

Olight have made a mess of the Obulbs, 4 different versions and 4 different UI's, I still like the original, smallest, best UI, simplistic and I can fit 4 on the Omino charger..... the Pro is a disaster

[@cheule]

Yes, the pro is too reliant on the app. The plus is back in the right direction.

[@john1josjohn1jos]

Is there a solid red mode?

[@ks-hg5vo]

The first flashlight to have an app to setup modes and sequencing mionlight levels mode memory etc got my money. Come on thats going to be the next big thing. You heard it here first

[@cheule]

You should take a look at LuxRC 371d driver that is in Oveready BOSS flashlights. It has a web app that does just that-optically programs the mode groups and options.

[@ks-hg5vo]

old Obulb was never meant to tap. it has a recessed button on the bottom, you have to pick it up. period. people squishing it making me cringe because its like putting square into the sphere if you know what i mean

Actually original Obulb was made to turn on from touch on top, Obulb MC then went to "pick up" which everyone complained so they went back

@@happyknife8785 you are right! I just realized all the 5 Obulb i have are all MC. thanks for the correction.

At retail, I’d agree. But for $45 I think they’re well priced.

[@roylerroycerickson]

How do you operate the timer function from the light itself?

[@cheule]

Unfortunately you cannot. It’s app only.

[@DeadlyDigger]

Good review just too much time spent on the old model. More focus needed on the plus forget the pro

I figured a little time talking about the differences would be helpful since it would put the size and capabilities in perspective. This video wasn’t my finest work, but I wanted to get it out before the sale.

[@kareno8634]

@@mikeenslin3009 For sure. Just out of all the stuff they sell, this one is a real head scratcher for me. I got the MCs for super cheap during a sale, and it is fine as a motion activated night light, but none of them make sense to me beyond toy. These are supposed to float too, right?

@@sloanNYC yes they all float. I bought a bunch of the 1st version, gave them to very young niece's/nephew's & they all REALLY loved them. They still use them to this day, all work.

This new Plus has my attention, I wish it was as warm as the 1st model, I dont like 'cool' lights indoors.
