The humor at the beginning with your wife was not lost on me. Funny!!!

[@Verus3]

Olight H1 Nova/ H1r Nova is still my favorite headlamp.

[@randyyeager]

Olight Perun mini, $65. Olight Perun 2 $85. Getting the wife to behold your manhood in an Olight review video....priceless....

[@livingsurvival]

LOL

[@50StichesSteel]

I love the prerun..Use it almost daily..This one seems to be pushing the limit on size though

[@Crt5]

timer mode is for getting into bed or sleeping bag and light shutting off automatically

[@steveb2618]

Most info yet on this light. Thanks

[@kennywheelus6857]

I'm liking this new version of the perun 2,I'm getting a h2r soon,would love to see h2r in comparison with the new changes of the perun 2,thanks Ben and have a Happy Thanksgiving.

[@spider5001]

Headlight way too big. Flashlight really nice 👍🏻 your eyes adjust to very low light. My headlamps are always on firefly or red. These super bright ones are good for a quick look into the distance if you need to

[@3L5Ancho]

Na as a plumber i really appreciate this bright headlamp it helps me see in crawlspaces

[@genoedcknifecollecter1538]

Have you looked at the black diamond flare

[@joeykerr5517]

It's pretty nice, I just can't do those kind of anymore though. I got spoiled by the LED strip. I'll still carry a handheld for throw though. That Marauder though 👀

[@drcsep]

Nice... could you fit the Perun into the headband? Could you buy just the newest headband? Great video... Happy 🦃

[@balinoob1837]

Hey you should try an Emisar light or a Noctigon light, they are my personal best bang for the buck!

[@andreigomer9423]

Hello, I have a question when you shake the olight perun 2 lamp you can hear a noise in the lens is that the same with you or is it broken

[@donaldstrader7241]

Ben, thanks for the review! I actually do use the timers. :-) Since I could just turn the light off at the last minute I suppose I am just trying to get my money's worth, but I do find it useful--just remember the HOLD part. LOL. I set the timer, take of my glasses, and since I have sleep apnea, put on my mask, and then see if I fall asleep first or the light goes off first. I wonder if that might be a helpful technique for insomnia--especially if you have a neutral white Olight--hard as they are to come by. [See comment in reply to that perceptive viewer Pestilen3e.] As for the sensor it has its plus and minuses. I think overall it is a plus. (Wonder what happened to that wave function.) If nothing else it is useful for making sure you do not run down one's battery or melt/burn something. I think that is more the intent than just adjusting the brightness. I was trying to give my Perun some use the other day since I mostly neglect it. I tried cupping my hand around it on moonlight mode to avoid irritating my wife's night adapted eyes, and found it shut off. That is not a complaint on the moonlight mode level they chose, but a comment on the sensor. For that size light with that broad a beam I suppose a 5 lumen "moonlight" mode is reasonable, but I would not argue if they added another lower level moonlight. Note the added, not just changed. Hmmm...we need an Olight Perun 3 in neutral white with a Marauder 2 style switch on the top. ;-)

[@livingsurvival]

I have the h1r and s1 in neutral.

[@donaldstrader7241]

@@livingsurvival I see your H1R is neutral from the N preceding the serial number as is mine, with yours made on 2016 Dec 27 and mine was made on 2017 January 5, so they are made within 9 days of each other. :-) It seems to me that I might have mentioned this before. LOL. Another only partially useful fact, I was taking out the trash with my headlamp and saw all these blueish-green reflections in the grass, when it had not rained and no dew. The glows were from dozens of wolf spiders! One sees the reflections when the light source is near ones eyes.

[@96wx3]

That wave is handy to have. Love mine for snow blowing and working on cars when the hands get dirty.

When it was on sale how much was the Olight Perun 2? I'm just curious. It's $89.95 full price. I want to see if I should wait until another sale to grab one then. Was it really - 45% off?

[@golpherboy13]

45% off with the addition of the I3T EOS

[@josephsanecra8386]

the proximity sensor is a safety feature for accidental or intentional turbo activation when you put your light inside a bag. or you are in a tent or too close any flammable object.yup i dont like that feature either, but you are whining for the wrong reason. it is not for reading maps! you can use the function as such, but that is not the primary purpose.

[@livingsurvival]

So their marketing showing the proximity sensor for reading maps must be wrong. The lockout is for accidental activation not the sensor. Pretty sure I’m “whining” for the right reason.

[@josephsanecra8386]

that marketing thing showing the perun 2 being held close to a map shows that it will not burn maps tents backpacks leaves when you inetentionaly or uninetentionly hold it close to a flammable object. im pretty sure you are whining for the wrong reason. sure you can use it to read maps but almost all flashlights can be used for that by using the lowest mode.

[@livingsurvival]

Lmao, ok then.

[@AngryMeditator]

Definition: prox·im·i·ty [noun] nearness in space, time, or relationship. If the proximity sensor was for safety, wouldn't they call it a safety lock out and not offer the current lock out they currently have on it? I kinda think Living Survival is right. Saying he is "whining" is extremely annoying. He's simply being critical. The prox sensor doesn't need to be there and it looks like even you agree!

[@josephsanecra8386]

@@AngryMeditator Olight X7R Marauder features enhanced safety technology through proximity sensors that lower the output when the higher beam settings are near an object it could potentially damage. ...this is the technical data sheet of one of olights first light with proximity sensor. then they put it in the PERUN because campers are setting thier test on fire with H2R NOVA. this is also why the proximity sensor has no manual over ride. to the whiners out there, these are the facts.

[@Metalhead-4life]

No mention of actual runtime at 800 lumens?

[@phoenix4ever367]

2500lumen for 2m then 175m at 800 and I believe mine runs about that. But, honestly that's a bit bright for most things unless you're scared in the woods and looking to flood the area looking for something. High is plenty of light for trails around me and that's lasted me multiple nights without charging.

[@LoveLikeaHurricane]

I’ll wait for a Perun mini 2

[@Dat808boii]

The proximity sensor is so it doesn't start a fire lmfao

[@mountain_ready_fitness7856]

Was just about to buy now I’m confused lol

Confused at what?

[@911blackadder]

UI like Zebralight

[@josephsanecra8386]

Olight X7R Marauder features enhanced safety technology through proximity sensors that lower the output when the higher beam settings are near an object it could potentially damage...this is the official description of olight's proximity sensor installed in the X7R. and this is the PERUN official description: when the built-in infrared distance sensor detects an obstruction nearby, the brightness will automatically be reduced to the lowest level for protection. this was installed on the PERUN because people going in and out are burning holes into thier tents with the H2R NOVA strapped on thier head. the proximity sensor is a safety feature that is why there is no manual over ride.. olight proximity sensor is safety feature. not map reading. lmao

[@livingsurvival]

Man, all that and you didn’t look at their photos showing a map and describing the sensor.

[@josephsanecra8386]

doesnt change the fact that it is a safety feature primarily. yup all that because i do always back up with facts. you should also because you are a reviewer. i buy my olights i research and review. flash lights are my thing. grown ups dot just look at pictures.

[@livingsurvival]

It doesn’t get any hotter than many other flashlights. Sensor is unnecessary.

[@josephsanecra8386]

@@livingsurvival says who? yiou? lols. give me facts not your pathetic subjective reasoning. compared to what lights? H2R at 2300 lumens turbo will burn paper and plastics easily. Perun 1 has lowered max output at 2000 lumens and yet they still installed proximity sensor for safety. now here you are with perun 2 with turbo at 2500 lumens with longer run time saying it does not net sensor. hahahhahahhahahahahhahahahhahahahahahah

[@livingsurvival]

@@josephsanecra8386 Other factors go into how hot a light gets. Size, cooling fins etc. And let’s not forget most lights have a automatics step down thermal protection. Not a proximity sensor. You’d know this if you’ve reviewed hundreds of lights.

too big and heavy, and ridiculously expensive. I got a skilhunt, and it's perfect, 30 bucks, my favorite headlamp and reasonable price.

[@ttss5726]

The middle strap just gets in the way ummmmm ok it’s on your head how the hell does it just get in the way..... I mean are you using the top of you head for hammering or something. Weird thing to complain about. Funny all you KZbin reviews alway got something to complain. You’d think a few of you would have common sense and make one to your specs yourself and sell them. Let’s be honest olight doesn’t have the proven durability as others. I’ll stick with tried and true head lamps we use in the fire department. Water proof crush proof everything proof and still keep on running

[@phoenix4ever367]

Which light?

[@supe32]

@@phoenix4ever367 right, which light? Lol

[@josephsanecra8386]

H2R at turbo 2300 lumens burns paper, dry leaves, plastics etc. easily PERUN lowered at 2000 lumen and was still installed proximity sensor for safety. Now here you are telling me that the PERUN 2 with 2500 max lumens with longer turbo runtime does not need proximity sensor because it does not get hotter than other lights? lols hahahahhaahahahaha THE PROXIMITY SENSOR IS NOT THERE TO PROTECT THE LIGHT WHEN IT GETS HOT. IT IS THERE TO MAKE SURE THAT THE INTENSE BEAM OF THE LIGHT WHEN CLOSE PROXIMITY TO AN OBJECT WILL NOT BURN THAT OBJECT..now you know mr. "reviewer"

[@livingsurvival]

It’s there for all the people who cannot seem to figure out how to hit one button to lower the brightness.

[@josephsanecra8386]

where in olights tecnical data and description does it say that? you are pathetic. i have given you facts so you will learn. but you keep digging the stupidity is forever hole.

[@livingsurvival]

@@josephsanecra8386 most flashlights of these types have thermal protections and automatic step downs. The sensor is there for a lower brightness when you are close to an object. It’s unnecessary and should be able to be toggled off. Your opinion is your opinion. And mine is mine. Good thing is there are many other channels who will show this light as nothing but spectacular.
