5k lumens is crazy.

[@alford967]

You did it again. Something else I need to buy. Thank you for your reviews. It can be overwhelming picking out a gear. So many brands

[@GreyManPrepping]

🤣 Roger that, my wife has been using it for her night gardening escapades. It will light up both beds in lantern mode. Have a great weekend!

[@tyarnold4088]

For lights you can't go wrong with Olight.

[@MildredEasyHomesteader]

Thanks so much for the review, they have a lot to offer on their site, pretty much a flashlight for any occasion. 🧡☺

[@GreyManPrepping]

Yes, they do, from EDC to tactical options. 😁👍

[@janpenland3686]

Thanks Grey. That's a cool flashlight/lantern. Olight always comes through. I'm sure your neighbors love you 😜Much Love ❤

Wow! that is a great flashlight. I agree with ya Grey very innovative. 🤗❤

[@GreyManPrepping]

It really is! When it arrived, I was like wow this is different. 😁

[@SueD.]

Great features. I like the lantern settings and the colors on the button that tell you when you need to charge it. I like the night shots too--I was looking for an alligator.

[@GreyManPrepping]

😆 I'm pretty sure several folks were lol

[@dianatoo940]

Really cool. Small enough but not too small. Nice and bright. Thanks! 👍

Thanks Diana 😊

[@snakebyte7271]

That is really nice dual function light.

Agreed 😁 Have a great weekend Snakebyte!

We are headed to Yellowstone this summer for a week long camping and hiking trip. I am gonna have to pick one up! thanks for the review brother.

[@GreyManPrepping]

Very cool! Have fun, be safe! And as always, it was my pleasure 😁🤘

[@charleswtuggle]

I really think this will make a great light. I hope so I bought 2 of them.

[@GreyManPrepping]

Awesome! I just ordered 2 myself while the sale is going. Picked them up for my sons.

[@erikthered5539]

Sweet torch/lantern might have to add one to my Olight collection 👍🏼

[@GreyManPrepping]

Nice! I've been building my collection years prior to doing youtube. They haven't failed me yet! 😁👍

[@rakamas]

Wow,Olight never disappoints! I like that one too. You've shown so many good Olight products and I think this one would also be great to have too .❤✝️

[@GreyManPrepping]

My wife loves this one. She's been using it now for her night gardening. She likes the warm glow.

[@Simple-R-Us]

Thanks Grey Nice light!

[@GreyManPrepping]

Thanks so much for watching 😁🙏

[@aliwatterson5582]

This is really interesting! I love the fact that you have two options. This will be a great light for our family camping trips. Great review, by the way 😊❤️

Thank you, Ali! 😊 🙏

Love it! 🔦 God bless you too!

Thank you, and God bless you as well! 😁🙏

[@oldmanpreparedness131]

Very cool! I really like this flashlantern lol 😆

[@GreyManPrepping]

Thanks 😆

[@GardeningWithCrystal]

thanks for the gardening idea! That would be nice to do some late evening gardening and if I was to hear a pop in the woods I could use the flashlight end to check things out from afar. always appreciated the time you spend review these items. ☺

[@GreyManPrepping]

I truly appreciate the support. Yes, my wife has now confiscated it from me to use in the garden, lol 😆

[@donaldstrader7241]

@@GreyManPrepping At around 15:40 you mention "hang this somewhere and do some garden work at night." Looking I see you have a post to conveniently sit it on. That works great. However, one of the things I have been considering about this light is there is no way to actually hang this light and use it in lantern mode. One can hang it upside down and use the front facing light downward, e.g. with an Oclip or some fastener in the tripod or 1/4" socket. But I don't see a way to hang this in lantern mode or design a way to do it. Perhaps a little platform around the size of the charging dock, with a tripod screw and four monofilament lines running up to a hook? Anyway you highlighted something I have been pondering. I do wish the front light was neutral white as I don't like CW much anyway and find it particularly jarring to go from a nice warm white lantern to a cool white front flashlight. One thing I do like is that if one does mount the charging dock, using it as a lantern, it is easy to grab the Prowess out of it, to use as a flashlight.Thanks for the review. I like the gardens, they look great.

[@dthomas5281]

That’s quite a light. Love the lantern mode and magnetic base. That would be awesome for work. I don’t necessarily collect flashlights but I do have some nice ones that work really good. Seems like every year they come out with something that does a little more or is a little brighter. 👍👍

[@GreyManPrepping]

Agreed, the technology each year keeps getting quite intuitive. Soon, we'll have the power of the sun in a handheld light 🤣

[@bettyrandall8243]

I can see where that would be handy.

[@GreyManPrepping]

Absolutely, Betty! 😊

[@michellechiancone1909]

Once again great review I definitely will use your link to purchase this one 🕊️ thank you grey

Definitely a nice light that does a heck of a good job. GOD BLESS 🙏❤️🙏

Thanks, Linda. Have a blessed day 🙏 😊

[@RandomStranger69]

I have multiple OIights , My EDC is also the Olight Arkfeld UV use it everyday.

[@GreyManPrepping]

Love the Arkfeld. It's been my favorite EDC light for quite some time now. Very comfortable and versatile 😁👍

[@jeffriffel4364]

That's innovative. All the bugs came in for a cameo 😂.

[@GreyManPrepping]

Gotta love Florida 🤣

[@viralprepper6124]

I'd definitely use something like this on my extended hunting trips! I like the multifunctional aspect of the light. 👍

[@GreyManPrepping]

Agreed! Thanks for the visit, brother 🤘

[@PittiesAndMore]

I like Fenix, Wuben, Olight and I just ordered Sofirn BLF LT1 Lantern.

[@GreyManPrepping]

I have a nice Sofrin flashlight review coming out in June. It was throughly surprised on its power and at a great price point.

[@chrissewell1608]

The lantern feature is a great idea! Add a solar powered battery bank, and you would have a great rig for camping, field work, or emergencies!

[@GreyManPrepping]

Absolutely! 😁👍

[@Forest_Actual]

That would be a great flashlight for hunting gators! LOL

[@GreyManPrepping]

That's an idea! 😎🤘

[@ShirleyCovey]

Nice light!

[@GreyManPrepping]

Thank you, Shirley 😊

[@Ali-prepper]

O light is a favorite, but to buy them in Rand (South Africa) is very very expensive, reserved for the wealthy... I always wait for specials when I buy, I like it if they 50% off... Almost affordable, I have two small Olight EOS & I love them...

[@GreyManPrepping]

Honestly, I try to buy most things on sale. Everything has gone up so much over the past couple of years. I can only imagine how other countries are fairing. 😮‍💨

[@cp7730]

Thanks, Grey.🎉 Nice light, nice dog!😊 Alligators?!😳 Guess that fence is not just for decoration!😂

[@GreyManPrepping]

Yeah, gators are a permanent fixture here in Florida 🤣

[@MarkWhipple-qb5uo]

thank you for doing the lantern mode outside. it helps show what it can and can't do.best reveiw I have seen

[@GreyManPrepping]

I appreciate that and I'm truly glad you found this helpful. thanks so much for watching Mark!

Good afternoon gray man

[@GreyManPrepping]

Hey Pat 👋 Hope you are well this Saturday afternoon 😁

[@MrMinuteman69]

Do they make a light that will zap bugs? Or maybe cut like a laser? 😂😂

[@GreyManPrepping]

Give them time 🤣👍

[@ericarnaud7983]

Hey Grey, said before how much I hate reviews, but only because I want the products reviewed, if it is good product. 😂😂😂 Man, at this time just sinking money into my farm and things like solar and hand pumps for the well, everything needed for goat milk, butter, cheese processes, expanding my quail and rabbits, more canning jars, lids and rings as well as everything else....I figure in one more year to move completely out to the farm. Have my middle daughter and her family out there now and my oldest grandson (from my oldest daughter) out there too. I want to be as far away from the cities as possible when it all goes to heck...just my opinion, but we haven't seen nothing yet and I just may cut it shorter and move before the elections this November.

[@GreyManPrepping]

Honestly, brother, it's a great plan, and I truly wish the best for you and your family. If I had that option, I'd be at the farm as well 🤣

[@ericarnaud7983]

@@GreyManPrepping you know your situation and I know you are going to do what is best for your family. 👍

[@GreyManPrepping]

Absolutely brother 🙏

[@Madman6505]

I like it! But if it's a lantern, how do you hang it up? Is there a lanyard or handle attachment point? Cool either way.

[@GreyManPrepping]

There is no lanyard, I assume someone could craft one. What they did is make the bottom magnetic for metal surfaces. Of course, they also added a 1/4 in thread hole in the base of the bottom cap to attach it to any type of tripod system as well. I'm not sure if that helps for your applications, but I figured I'd mention it. Thanks for watching! 😁👍

[@greatlakescanary3237]

Even with the sale price, it is not in my budget. It is good to know what features to look for in less expensive ones.

[@GreyManPrepping]

Great point! 👍

[@jio-lito]

Good idea. I would have to add a wider stand, a USB-C port BUILT INTO the flashlight and some sort of handle so you can carry it like a proper lantern.

[@afdhalventura8637]

I still love my Marauder Mini 😍

[@GreyManPrepping]

What is a recommendation for a wall charger 🔌 mine is on its way

[@GreyManPrepping]

I'm using my mounting clip that came with the unit. It's attached to my work bench, which is connected through my type c charging brick.

[@codywest7210]

Seems cool but to many parts. I would just lose them. Would be great on one of thier bigger lights.

[@GreyManPrepping]

Thanks for sharing your thoughts, Cody!

[@chrissewell1608]

You need a black light for hunting horn worms, on your tomato bushes, at night! Those fat green bastards will glow in the dark! 🐛 Then you can easily remove them, then later use them as fish bait!

[@GreyManPrepping]

Agreed, I use the Olight Arkfeld Pro that has the UV option. Last year we found 2 of them before they did too much damage to our tomatoe & eggplants.

[@Studat]

It's a proprietary battery so you have to buy it from Olight.

[@GreyManPrepping]

Technically, yes, if you have an understanding of battery chemistry and ohms law, you can buy 3rd party batteries. I just prefer to keep folks safe so they don't stock a battery that's not rated for the high draw and create a fire hazard. 🔥

[@Studat]

@@GreyManPrepping but this particular battery has the positive and negative terminal on the same side. I collect torches and I have never found another battery that will work in an olight expect the OEM.

[@GreyManPrepping]

@Studat interesting I've used LG & Samsung button tops with most of my olights as long as the specs lineup. They won't charge via the body of the flashlight, though. I work in a shop that sells lithium batteries and have played around a bit with this option. Again, I do advise against it. I watched a video years ago where a gentleman disassemble olights batteries and compared them to others and showed available options. I was still skeptical, but after trying various options , I found a few that fit the bill. The charging was the only problem I could not resolve as the way olight designs their batteries.

[@chriscowally]

No port and starboard lights olight

[@GreyManPrepping]

I would have like to see a port on the flashlight itself outside of the base as well

@@GreyManPrepping LOL ITS NOT YOU BROTHER I GET IT THIS IS A PART OF YOUR JOB AND A FLASHLIGHT IS A FLASHLIGHT

@PattiPoss I appreciate that, The Wurkkos I have coming up is pretty nifty, the Sofrin I'm going to review. I'm going to do a comparison review between it and the olight Marauder 2. The sofrin is only about $75, so it's a steal with so much power vs. $330 with similar specs 😁👍
