Hey dude you know your M2R Pro has a recall right now. You can get a refund, a store credit, or they will replace it with the MINI 2 ( yes not comparable, really they should give you the 3S but they are being cheap cunts and doing the minimum to cover their mistake)

I think their gift was really sweet. They probably just wanted to thank you for being their best test subject. Maybe you hit 10,000 blindings with this video. If so, that means they trusted you’d do it and mailed the package with only 9,999 in the bag.

[@andrewdouglas4072]

About a week ago I was in my front yard around 11pm when three dogs came aggressively running at me from across the street. All I had was my flashlight and a knife so I tried putting the light on strobe mode and pointing it at their eyes. Luckily it actually ended up scaring them off, but since I had that experience, I wish they'd make activating the strobe function less of a finicky process on the warrior 3.

I purchase mainly two brand flashlights Olight and NiteCore. They both make excellent flashlights but the light I have been using while on duty is NiteCore’s P20IX. This isn’t to say Olight doesn’t have a light to compete with it but the NiteCore’s P20IX is one mean light that can break vehicles glass regardless which window almost instantly with no more than one or two mag hits. I really like the Olight Warrior 3 because it has a nice beam but on my job as a LEO in Detroit my NiteCore’s P20XI it suits my needs better. I can’t discount Felix or a coupon other brands sense this is just my opinion but Olight and NiteCore seem to be upgrading and improving their lights more. I also respect Olight very much for recalling a couple lights even though some people just don’t know how to lock them out even when a manufacturer has features to do so. Thanks and I just subscribed to your channel. Cheers

These flash lights are great but not in a place with lots of metal sawdust. Had the previous olight get stuck on when sawdust got stuck to the magnetic switch.

Wait, people say flashlights AREN'T a self defense tool?!?!! Srsly?! Let someone clock you in the eyebrow with the bezel and then try to say that. While getting blinded...

its hard to choose a good Olight. im pleased with Seeker2Pro and S1A Baton. in my country they sell cheaper only on Black Friday, im waiting for WarriorTurboX.

[@NebulaLSD]

I love your unboxing and it sounds like a great product I am looking to buy! I am just a little concerned tho with the terrible reviews Olight has on Trustpilot people complaining about: Extremely long shipping times, bad website, overpriced Chinese products, bad customer service, half a year of waiting to get a refund, and more. Are the allegations true or is Olight worth it?

[@buckcherry2564]

I have yet to get a bad one or have any issues with ordering. I cant speak to Customer Service or Refunds (see point 1). I just asked some of buddies that have their own small collections and it was the same for them. So, while not gospel, I can say that 5 guys and, between us, maybe 25 fashlights is the sample size I can speak for...all pocket-carry EDC that get retired to bags and vehicles (for me anyway). Take it for what it is worth. Also, no brand loyalty here. I think brand loyalty is embarrassing. My EDC is a Warrior 2 Mini, and it is dinged and scuffed and worn...but it always works how I need it to. Negatives that I can come up with for it....hmm -The full push should ALWAYS activate even when locked -I have a rangerband under the clip going around the flashlight because under force it can pop off (My seatbelt grabbed it twice when I carried it on my belt by the clip...now it is in-pocket like my knife on the opposite side) -I dont like the magnetic charger. I have had NO problems with it ever and it is easy...but I just dont like requiring another cord...USB-C option please!!! Edit: I forgot my collection of i1r 2 EoS mini-lights. I have too many, they are on everything....I think they are breeding because I keep finding more. They are, in MY opinion, the ultimate keychain light! Edit2:I typed this quick before watching the vid...The i1r2EoS is the one he has on his keys.

[@hard2hurt]

I've only ordered from them as a customer twice. I have no idea how long it took because I didn't need them by a certain time and don't pay attention. All my other interactions have been as a paid influencer, so I couldn't possibly give you a real, unbiased review of their customer service. I've never had anything not work, so I've never had to return anything.

[@kdb678able]

I have carried Olights daily for years and haven't had any fail. Never had to deal with customer service either. On sale I think they tend to be very good value for the money.

I must say .. OLight does a great job with the BOXES they shipped these torches 🤭 All jokes aside, if you want a real torch. Fenix all day!! Even Nitecore is another great option. TK20 V2 #1 best tactical torch TK16 V2 #2 best tactical torch PD40R V2 (gift these to all woman in my life. The easiest torch to operate) P20i - #3 best tactical torch I started with streamlight then moved on to Olight. Dropped Olight because I discovered Nitecore. Dropped Nitecore (besides P20i & MH25S) for a real torch, FENIX I get they send you free stuff but your audience deserves high quality flash 🔦. Everybody needs a FENIX at there home. If you love your life, get a Fenix torch ✌🏽

[@thamomentum]

Yo Mike - I think it's Seth sending you those Flower painting to be honest lol

[@hard2hurt]

[@dirtpoorchris]

What if they had a tactical mini flashlight with a motion sensor on it. So if you hear someone breaking into the front door you can set up like 5 of them in your room pointed at the door (or have them set up when you go to bed) Then the more movement it senses the more it strobes n stuff. Or set them up on shelves and stuff pointed at the front door before u go to bed. Or if you have to retreat leave it in ambush to suprise them and then pop off some shots when it goes off. Or a double lense with continuous light stream on one lens and extreme strobe on the other lens to disorient. Then you can make a video with paintball pistol or pellets that mark and the tactical lights and masks to see how it affects accuracy with different combos and if strobe is useless or not.

[@hard2hurt]

[@luvdisneyv]

Dumb question. You did a video on quarters in the fist. In the video you said that the hits felt more powerful. So. I'm just wondering how much would it hurt with the warrior flashlight if you punched someone. Also sorry if I make 0 sense. I'm very tired

[@luvdisneyv]

Another question I have is. Does fear play a part in self defense. Like let's say I was open carrying a knife (I know you have said that they aren't good self defense weapons but it was the first thing to come to mind) on your belt. Will that stop would be attackers? If not could you make a video? Sorry for the dumb questions. I'm kinda new to self defense stuff. Mom never wanted self defense weapons (like guns) in the house because "Why do you think you would need that? Nothing will happen to you. The world isn't a bad place" she would say more but I can't remember right now. Like I'm 25 and I know that is bull. Anything can happen. That's my opinion. I can be waaaaaaay off the mark.

I have 7 maybe more olights and as a electrician and a general contractor, I use them religiously. They’ve never failed on me and I’ve used hundreds of different flashlights including all the top name and I always go back to this one. They’re great flashlights, super bright and if you need something brighter than what they offer you’re crazy. Most importantly they’re reliable. I have drop them like all my DeWalt tools or my rigid tools and they hold up. There’s very few brands that I go through like them but I literally have everything from EDC to the most bright stuff they have, and I use it all all the time. But I will say I got one kind of just for myself lol the copper version of the warrior3s it weighs almost twice as much but I still love it❤❤❤❤❤😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@ludoA.K.A]

Is it true ? Turbo mode is no longer available once the battery charge is below 75%? "1lumen" reports this on its test of the Warrior 3 and some consumers notice the same thing with the Warrior 3s.

[@hard2hurt]

I think that's correct.

[@ludoA.K.A]

@@hard2hurt, Hum... It's the same particularity on the PD40R from Fenix : below 80%, the Turbo mode is no longer available. But it's really a shame for the Warrior 3 / 3s which have a tail switch with direct access to the Turbo. Fully charged, these flashlights are pretty good, IMO.

[@hard2hurt]

@@ludoA.K.A maybe they figured out it damages the battery or something

[@ludoA.K.A]

@@hard2hurt Especially the battery, yes 👍 I have already tried once (and only once...) to start my Warrior 3 in Turbo mode and let it light up for two hours, battery fully charged (4 lights out of 4). Two hours later I went to the results : the head was fiery and the body of the flashlight very, very hot. The side switch indicated 2 out of 4 battery lights, the Turbo mode was no longer available and fortunately in this case: the battery was also fiery... Lithium batteries do not like heat, it reduces their lifespan faster than any other flashlight component. In the end, maybe it's just as well, after all.

I'm eager to see what Olight does to one-up the W3s. Maybe up the lumens just a little in L, M and H....the "useable" lumens. If not ...just the L and M modes....16 and 200 while still "useable" and "enough" is kind of low compared to the competition. Perhaps they could up the L-mode to 30 lumens ...add a "low-MED mode" of 150 then a 2nd MED-mode of 340...then keep the H-mode to 1200 or up it to 1400 (thruniite's BSS has a H-mode of a hair over 1400). there is such thign is "too much lumens"...which I thik is whe Turbo modes exceed 2400...3000 is "too much" in most real world uses....eDC or i "self-defense" (if any civilian is planning to use a light for defensive us....they better have a plan of what to follow the burst of turbo or Strobe with....I think most have no idea. Have no plan. Actually think they're going to be in a "one on one" when it goes down (usually they attack in groups)... Olight just announced their Baton 3 Pro Max....maybe we'll see a W3s Max announced in a week or two...and a "Seeker 3 Pro Masx" :)) Like to see Olight make the "Wes Max" longer e.g. approaching 6" to fit in the hand better using an under-hand grip....so the tail exends past our hand edge...
