Olight X7 Marauder 9000 Lumen FlashLight

[@BZARZAGZA]

Why do I need 9000 lumens? Because Olight makes one that's why. I own 4 Olights & would never purchase any other brand. Great review Sootch, 2 thumbs up!!

[@sootch00]

I like the way you think! Lol! Thanks Brother~

[@Triggered4486]

Pelican!

[@hariduni2832]

screw those guys

[@carstenhansen5757]

I believe mecarmy made one that is more practical. Pt 60/80 something like that.

[@LoveFlatfootin1]

Because it'll freak out the neighbor's dog when it starts barking after midnight.

[@CAGuns]

Coming up next, the Olight XXX777 Invader 650,000 Lumen flashlight...

[@garyfrombuffalo]

CA Guns hope it has a cool down fan lol

[@dinstar-as3228]

CA Guns - lol.... just in case you need to illuminate the entire moon

[@lr44x13]

It could burn something .

[@jackbarnes5589]

Sootch - "As you can see the beam is bouncing of the moon. Nice long throw."

[@Len_M.]

R.a.g.e If you want to actually burn something, Wicked Lasers has some Flashlights for you.

[@candyluo8269]

Hi! Thank you very much for reviewing our X7,we hope it is serving you well. This is a very quick reminder to all your viewers that we are launching in the UK on the 18th of May we have some amazing offers across our range of Flashlights to include 50% off selected items.

[@soundjunki]

I just ordered the X7 and the TH40S from HKE. Man the X7! 300 lumens for 18 hours with the ability of 9000 lumen bursts. I just modded my SRK with a Mountain Electronics 46mm driver and spring by-pass, it's just as bright as my L6. Great video! Thanks.

[@phantomsir]

That is a great quality light. We need a flashlight like that here in Florida about now.

[@videosdemo100]

Excellent! The power is incredible. The presentation was awsome. congratulations!!!

[@MattMorris481]

Your the reason I started buying olights now I have five the S10RII, S30RII, M2XUT, R50 Seeker, & the S1R and I love them all. Thanks for the great reviews.

[@john1josjohn1jos]

looks like a awesome light, wish I had $200 lying around.

[@timshull59]

I love the Olights I own 2.Wish they could make a dedicated switch for strobe sometimes its hard to to get the to strobe function.Think it would be even more difficult under a stress situation.

[@hobbymasterd808]

I love seeing items reviewed like this. I am new to the prepper mindset and lifestyle. Being on a budget like mine, it's extremely hard to get just more than the basics but it's coming along little by little. Thank you for the information you provide. I have watched almost all of your videos on both of your channels.

[@NoPulseForRussians]

Nowhere to hide with that puppy. I like it! Think i'll go ahead n get me one. Thanks for the review, sir. 🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@InGratitudeIam]

Olight makes awesome lights. My experience with their customer service (not responsive at all) was extremely disappointing.

[@TheRocheDude]

Great review! Not sure where in SC you are, but I hope you and your family made it through the hurricane safely. We got through without too much excitement in Columbia.

[@SgtDamien]

I got an Olight S20R, Its an awesome flashlight and I love having the common and rechargeable 18650 batteries. My only gripe is that it doesn't have a tailcap button so every time I use it I gotta fish around the hexagon bezzle to find the button.

[@cifrank]

Question....Where is the bargain of buying a 9000 lumen light that only lasts for 2 minutes and 9000 lumens.?

[@dr.turkey458]

Do they make a weapons mount for it?!? I will be ordering one immediately!

[@believe8263]

9000 Lumens is equivalent to 3 suns. It's so strong that you can shine it on someone and see all of their bones. If your power goes out you can use this flashlight on your bread to make toast. If you need to repair something this flashlight also works as a welder. You can also point this at the moon to make it a full moon anytime you want. Great at parties.

[@jr10]

Another awesome review. A few years back I purchased the Nitecore TM11. It is the same size and format as this light, but with only 2000 lumens. That being said, at max power the light gets to hot to handle after a few minutes. I was wondering if these newer models have fixed that issue?

[@eddieo9195]

Yes, after a couple of minutes, the turbo modes automatically drop to prevent over heating.

[@KampfegegendieZukunft]

Time to blind some clowns!

[@trinisuprazee]

lol

[@chucklesthefireguy5356]

S mini baton shuts off constantly. I have 3, I'll look for another brand next time. The button is very hard to locate as well.

[@dakotablain4465]

Awesome video, sootch00!

[@MrDoug34ele]

Love your reviews Scooch....but I do have a question for you....you have a lot of lights ...and different batteries ....could you give a video on them and what they can be used for.....you have talked about the cr123 before and this set used for this light ...but I have never seen them in stores or heard about them before.....and yes....every once in awhile they have to pump sunlight into the place I live...but I would like to know more about them....thanks for you time...

[@SensiblePrepper]

That would be a good subject for a video. I'll see what I can do.... don't know when but I'll try. Thanks brother!

[@Stephen2846]

123 cells are found in most stores including Home Depot, Lowe's, Walmart, your local drug store etc. They are common for use in cameras and other devices. They are Lithium based cells and so have a shelf life exceeding ten years. Here's a link to Duracell for some more information on the subject. They can be labeled "CL123, DL123, EL123, etc. They are all the same size but may have differing capacities. In case you're wondering why I wrote "Cells" and not "Battery's" it's because "Batteries" are constructed of more than one "Cell." The 123 series of cells are 3 volts nominal each. If you put four in series you'd have a 12 volt battery. You'll notice that a car battery has 6 cells in it. They are a series circuit of 2 volt nominal cells which gives you the 12 volt battery moniker. Oh, that little 9 volt battery you have; if you take it apart you'll find six 1-5 volt cells in it. Together they give you the 9 volts you're looking for!

[@jacobmanalang8162]

the more you learn the more confusing it is! like when its just numbers cr123a can also be 16340. 16 meaning the 16mm diameter, 34 for 34~35mm length, 0 for cylindrical in shape. so 18650 breaks down the same way. if you vape you might want an 18650 that runs at 30amps, but flashlight people on 18650 are fine with 10amps. these are li ion and run at 3.7v. aa can be 14500, aaa can be 10440. different battery chemistry too. regular (primary) non rechargeable are usually alkaline and run at 1.2 volts. the lithium non rechargeables are more expensive but store a lot better and wont leak as fast. rechargeable are usually nimh or li-ion. i dont really see ni-cad anymore. there's lipo, and another example is those surefire rechargeables lifepo4's that you cant find anymore so you'll have to settle for tenergy brand. im just going to stop here because its making MY head hurt writing it lol. good luck

[@Stephen2846]

I'm an electrical engineer so I just look at the specs. Different chemical formulations are used for different purposes.Some have higher current potential, while others have a lower internal resistance and are good for things like camera flashes because cycle times are reduced. Take a look at BatteryUniversity.com. They cover the subject pretty well.

[@titusjonasneffe]

.......and, as always, enlightening video !!!!!!!!! Hope Matthew will calm down soon!

[@josephnorcalusa1710]

nice video, and that's a beautiful flashlight!!! ☺ i Hope to get One too..

[@DougsterCanada1]

When I first saw the image for the video, I immediately thought of the shape of the Mercury Capsule from early NASA. Anyone else old enough to remember that?

[@JoshuaLoarca]

So this light will work with any High drane 18650 battery? I'm in the market for a bright light and getting this light. Just need a little better understanding for what batteries to put in it. Thanks for the good review.🖒😎

[@bunnyhug4365]

Amazing review as always, Sootch.

[@smokyofstormwind420]

I love it, and coz it has Strobe mode I'm seriously considering this for my Main bicycle headlamp, what mAh Batteries would you recommend for such a high drain device?

[@SensiblePrepper]

You'd blind anyone at 100 yards! Lol! But I understand your concern for safety.

[@jacobmanalang8162]

olight recommends their 3500mah 18650's and you need 4 of them....thats another 80 bucks which kinda hurts. should serve you well though

[@kingprone7846]

itll be brighter then most cars highbeams. you will dazzle other users.

[@TheBeanMan00]

Smoky no, the battery will not last you long at all. It could potentially blind on coming traffic causing pa collision with you of other vehicles. Please do not use this for that purpose. A olight S2R would be much better for a head lamp.

[@taxidermist4]

Awesome review fantastic light but the price is the only thing why I will never own one. I'll just have to stick to watching you have fun with them.

[@christianpineault1377]

I'm sorry but I'm new to those type of lights, what kind of batteries do they use? It looked like AA, I'm I wrong?

[@RubiconV]

With this baby you can see all the zombies coming at you!

[@jaredandrews379]

and give them a good tan while your at it lol

[@zwordsman]

Probably scare the crap and dust a vampire too.

[@AROTTWEILERR]

really?

[@Sharky762]

Great review Don, one side note the x in ipx8 is the fact that it hasn't been tested for dust. If it would have been ip68 it would hqve been dust tight (tested) and water tight up to 2m for a bunch of time.. much longer than i can hold my breath. In practice water tight is also dust tight in my experience. Bu het. Have tonitpick here and there ;-))

[@CenturianCornelious]

I bought an Olight for $140. It failed in two weeks. I called the company, and they said if I sent it to China at my own expense they'd replace it. The retailer replaced it instead. The next one failed in two months. The problem, it seems, is that one cannot leave it plugged into the charger; the charger will burn the battery out because it has no automatic shutoff.

[@eddieo9195]

What model? Have several that have usb charging and never had an issue... Weird.

[@CenturianCornelious]

Eddie O This: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00OCKDIIU/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

[@eddieo9195]

CCornelius I see... Never had any experience with their headlights, did they take care of the issue?

[@CenturianCornelious]

Eddie O Explained above. After the second failure, I decided if a company sells a high-dollar light with a charger that ruins the light, I want nothing to do with them.

[@eddieo9195]

I guess headlamps are not their forte.

[@MrSmith336]

Thanks Sootch, big fan of Olight. I have 3 and carry the S1 for my EDC.

[@snoopy9292]

I dont know if the beam is focused enough for what I would use a light like that for.

[@2005acmk]

Sootch, I am in the NAVY. What Olight would you recommend for EDC onboard a ship??

[@dirtsailoroff-road5580]

2005acmk I would recommend stop being a BOOT for edc.

[@2005acmk]

just a vet good one. Lol!

[@dirtsailoroff-road5580]

Any thing that works man. They issued us streamlights as an MA. I think everyone would be pissed if you had this. Just get something small you can wear on your belt or in your pocket.

[@jeffpittman8725]

Crazy bright. That would leave some serious white spot an in someone's eyes!

[@Spushed]

being a vaper has it's perks, i recommend the LGHG2 18650s, they're 20amp continuous 3100mah I'll bet those are better than the olight batteries.

[@nataflet]

This is the type of light I want. I have the Acebeam X60 6500 lumens and it's mostly a thrower, I need a powerful floody light like X7. Too bad it doesn't have a manual output setting, also the 2 minutes on 9000 lumens is too low, my light can go up to 2 hours at 6500 lumens, it's gets hot but it does not die. X7 goes for 8 minutes at 5500 which is kinda low.

[@jenniferf.2727]

You can get these olights on battery junction for cheaper than going gear

[@qwertyuiop4halo]

Using the "Sootch00" code at checkout for Going Gear will save you 10 percent.

[@DReynolds5294]

This light specifically is the same price on Battery Junction as it is on Going Gear

[@clamum]

I can't wait for my copper S Mini Baton from Going Gear to ship. Pimp as fuck. I've had a Fenix E15 as my EDC for awhile, and it works great, but that copper Olight is fricking money. And 550 lumens from that little thing?! Nuts.

[@SensiblePrepper]

I'm looking forward to seeing the S mini. I'm still loving the S1 : ) Thanks Brother

[@clamum]

Yeah I first got turned on to those after seeing your little copper Olight. Hopefully the S Mini ships soon!

[@clamum]

Got the copper S Mini in yesterday and man is it a nice light. Quite noticeably heavier than my Fenix E15 but better looking, more features, and much more light output. One thing though... I'd rather use a rechargeable RCR123 in it but rechargeable 123 batteries look to be 650-700 mAh while the normal 123 shipped with the light is 1600 mAh (per Olight's website). Why the heck is there such a difference between rechargeable and standard 123 batteries? No way I'm using rechargeable with that kind of crappy power.

[@ebomey]

Looks like a very nice light!

[@tedtedsen269]

i have the x7r slightly briter the difference on 9000LM and 12000LM is small even my imalent dx80 32000 LM is not 3 times brighter why in that brightens the difference is small

[@pge4323]

Thats a super bright light..... I Like........I want one!!!!

[@timm1139]

Yet another great review!

[@SensiblePrepper]

Thanks Tim

[@drsawful]

Tim M g

[@whatsup7up904]

Can you tighten up the spread of the light??

[@johnbellinger2494]

fantastic light but for 199.00 and 90 extra for batteries and charger. it should have built-in lithium ion batteries and recharge through USB. why have your customers go through the hassle of removing and charging batteries which gives wear on the orings and body of the device for no reason. just up the price and include self contained batteries with charge port.

[@jacobmanalang8162]

i totally agree. the only reasons i can think of for them not doing that is to keep the price competitive, and for all the people who have a bunch of 18650's already on hand so if it does ever go dead or run low you could just swap out to a new set of 4. the r50 seeker seems more in line for us. still a fantastic light

[@jirinafrankova166]

Yea, and when the port or the inside battery fails, you will have to throw away the whole light, not just batteries. Talking about when your warranty expires and this shit happen, and it happens. Personally I don't like built-in li-ion batteries in any el. devices.

[@bigboxes]

You can take the batteries out, genius.

[@AROTTWEILERR]

YOUR NOT VERY CLEVER SUNSHINE ARE YOU!

[@chefgav1]

John bellinger olight tend to discontinue manufacturing of battery packs and charge big $ .i would take this option any day.USB charging would be better

[@skankhunt-vw8xr]

Insane power. Just ordered an mini baton from Going Gear. This is next.

[@dubious6718]

That 1 button seems to complicated I have a "simple" Fenix, with 2 buttons, 1 to turn it on and 1 to switch between modes Same with my Fenix headlamp

[@Pencil-b4m]

Dubious it's not complicated at all.

[@leopoldo3884]

My trunite headlamp lasts over 64 days on its lowest mode which is .2 lumens and it's highest mode is 750 lumens and it lasts 110 minutes and it costs 50 bucks with shock resistance of 2 m and waterproof

[@GPCTM]

9000 lm? Does it light things on fire?

[@eolson1964]

What a ridiculous amount of money for a flashlight!

[@E-ROCK0180]

it's like having your own sun, let their be light

[@E-ROCK0180]

$200

[@Triggered4486]

going gear site said $289

[@Triggered4486]

WTF!?!?

[@SensiblePrepper]

$199 for the light only with the 10% Sootch00 discount. $289 as a bundle minus the 10% discount. The links are in the description.

[@Triggered4486]

Oh ok, thanks for the clarification. Love your vids!

[@rich-qk7dc]

id lick to buy one but doesn't seem much better than my sr mini 2 3200 lums

[@TheMDOutdoors2016]

Awesome video and product like that it's water proof

[@namemrname8997]

Fourth, and also that thing runs on 3 nuclear power plants to light up. Its brighter than the sun!

[@parody4042]

I have a thorfire bike light it has 1400 lumins and hot ♨ warning signs on it the aluminium case acts like a heatsink if this is 9000 lumins it's should have hot warning logos on it

[@645-u6e]

A little text warning for the strobe a couple seconds before it happens would be greatly appreciated! Awesome light though!

[@anakinleydic4349]

Thats not a flashlight... Thats the sun!

[@ericmiranda9841]

9,000 lumens is ridiculous. ja ja. Like always great video...

[@TKO593]

Looking forward to the x7r

[@dinstar-as3228]

Great review.... but $200 for flashlight? guess it's cheaper than a gun/ as I said...great review

[@paganpoetprophet6441]

battery avg cost?

[@scatoni]

Knock of the trailer begginings

[@Jay_Fry]

standard 5,500 lumens? Thats a lot of light.

[@stemar1983]

To say why you (don't) need 9000 lumens is the same like to say why you need bigger cal. then 9mm, or ar15 to carry, or more than 10 guns, or more than 10 rounds mag, or more than 100hp car.... because as BO say We Can :-)

[@palerider55]

Nice job, good review.

[@sylla2]

9000 lumens, yes, but only for a few minutes. Look at the specs: In reality, this is in fact "just" a 3000 lumens flashlight. Just saying.

[@dinstar-as3228]

The G-Man - interesting point that may not be obvious before using or reading the specs.

[@illuminatedcrosshairs7865]

The G-Man The Semlos 10000 lumen light has up to 3 hours on high mode, for $40 not $200+!

[@Pencil-b4m]

Lee Clements I have that light. The build quality isn't as good. It gets extremely hot and it does step down too. Just because it says it will run that long on high doesn't mean it will do it at full output. Olight is about he only manufacturer that actually tells you the truth about it.

[@lockesnode1477]

Remind me, why do I need 9000 lumens?

[@SensiblePrepper]

Why not? :)

[@joefair2908]

mount that baby on your AR 15 Sootch. lol

[@SensiblePrepper]

That would be epic! Lol!

[@someguyinsantaclara]

My Streamlight Stinger LED HL is 670 lumens and is way brighter than this "9000 lumen flashlight"

[@sgtcaboose5407]

Talk about spotlighting a deer... Just kidding, thats illegal.

[@johnadams9044]

Very UNimpressive. If than is 9000 lumens than the old D cell flashlights are 1000 lumens.

[@StreetPeter]

I thought this video was about a fleshlight.

[@TENNESSEETRACKHAWK]

too bad it doesn't throw any further then my flood light does in my backyard smh. cmon Olight 313 meters? really? pathetic! People don't be fooled by lumens. there are plenty of lights that have great throw AND spill. this has good spill and horrible throw!

[@aiovry4626]

9000 lumens juste pour 2.5 minute :)

[@hfbarnes]

That's a hoss.

[@colxjon]

Basically a copy of a noctigon meteor.

[@jamesaritchie1]

Makes you a great target, if nothing else. The truth is, these lights are now bright enough to cause serious eye damage in some people, and the lawsuits are going to start flying. Honestly, the lowest power setting is a hundred times as useful as the 9,000 lumens setting. In a small light, human vision starts losing it's ability to pick out detail at about 4,000 lumens, and 1,000 lumens is rreally more than we can take advantage of with close work.

[@reviewmirror]

My new "EDC" ;-) Thanks for the great review. I did a X7 review as well, incl. a super slowmotion drop test in HD. Check it if you want. SUBSCRIBED!
