The Best Flashlights I've Ever Used, Rofis R-Series Review!!

[@jonNH123]

Awesome! I bought my first Rofis like 8 years ago. I STILL have it and still performs like a champ. So jazzed you found these!

[@Surago]

I wish they had a package deal with all three, one headlamp, one charger to cut down on cost. I'd buy them right now.

[@Retofel]

Can you please stop making those great reviews for all that stuff? I don’t have any money left :)

[@ronniep777]

Lol.i

[@joetexas1546]

so true!

[@Madmax-TV]

Yeah right! Flashaholic.😂

[@swingymcswing]

I've been shopping for lights recently, wanted to get one of the R1's but looks like they are not in production anymore. Not available from Amazon as of Nov 2021. Nice review though.

[@DropForgedSurvival]

They do seem cool. Id have to test one in hand personally. I am still very much an olight guy.

[@MichaelSeneschal]

I could be wrong, but I’m pretty sure Rofis is an Olight spin off, or a parent company.

[@MichaelSeneschal]

I saw in a comment above that the flashlights are made in the same factory. Maybe that’s what I was thinking.

[@artiet5982]

Olights are beautiful looking lights, maybe some of the nicest, but that tint... yikes. Don’t get wrong, I own a couple.

[@chomel2005]

You are the best reviewer, I learned so much from you. Because of you I bought few items for EDC & my little bug out bag. Thanks from Singapore

[@livingsurvival]

cameltoehunter cth thank you.

[@TelekineticKhai]

Just got my Rofis R3. Absolutely best flashlight ever! Thank you sir! For the recommendation!

[@livingsurvival]

Agreed.

[@tsbok1]

Mine arriving tomorrow at Subang Jaya. Now at Pos Nasional. Hehe

[@DimebagDan81]

Bought the R2 based on this review and holy crap... You weren't kidding! Best EDC flashlight in existence! The ability to use the rechargable 14500 or in a pinch a standard AA, the swivel head, magnetic charging and base, compact size but great performance... I can't shut up about it! Thanks for the review and convincing me to pick one of these up (and yes, I used your link!)

[@livingsurvival]

Dan....YOU THE MAN.

[@DimebagDan81]

@@livingsurvival I'm already sold on the Acebeam X80 (just waiting on tax season lol #BrokeSecurityOfficerProblems), but I'd love to see/hear your take on the Klarus XT11X

[@thomash.4501]

I got a ROFIS flashlight a while ago. For the R1 I have to say this one does it all. EDC headlamp and you can charge it what do you need more ? I just would like to see how long this swivel head is going to last. My ROFIS flashlights still hold up. The headband for the R3 seems different then the ones of the R1 and R2. Am I right ? What will happen if you put an rechargeable AA in the R2 and you try to charge it ? At 7:08 you say the ROFIS R1 does not have the SOS function or the strobe. My ROFIS R1 does have strobe and SOS. I can not imagine that they changed that. Just 3 fast klicks and it does the strobe. I noticed that if the tailcap of my R1 is not 100 % tight and you want to charge it flashes green an red to show you something is wrong with the charging.

[@livingsurvival]

The R3 headlamp strap has a center strap. Not sure if it can charge AA on R2, good question. And, you are correct the R1 sure does have strobe and SOS but not listed on the BOX or manual as the others are. Thanks!

[@thomash.4501]

Thank you Ben for the quick response and you are right i checked, the box and it doesn´t say anything about strobe or SOS. I like to watch your channel a lot keep on going. It would be nice if you could include measurements in metric too sometimes. Greetings from Germany.

[@MaZEEZaM]

Thomas H. Yeah +1 for Metric, I’m from Australia, basically everywhere outside the US uses Metric or a combination of metric and imperial as Australia does, we never use imperial for less than 1/4 inch, we switch to mm’s or cm’s and most of the time we use metric measures such as meters in the case of a flashlight beam distance.

[@TheTranq]

Do you know if they ever do flash sales like Olight?

[@Madman6505]

Very impressive indeed. I'll be completely sold if you can rotate the pocket clips like on the Olight H1R and H2R. One of my favorite features of those lights is that swiveling the clip lets you lay the light flat and point the head up at any desired angle. It also allows you to clip it to a shirt pocket (or whatever) for hands free light, without having to wear a headband.

[@steveclark..]

It looks like the pocket clip on these can be rotated around the body to me but I could be wrong??

[@CanadianPrepper]

The only light I bought last year was a rofis I still respect Olight though, who they copy alot.

[@livingsurvival]

Canadian Prepper same factory.

[@CanadianPrepper]

Not surprised

[@BOOSTEDLASER]

Still use? Any problems? Cant find a store that sells, or parts/spare chargers

[@lrodd247]

I've had the R1 in my cart for a month now! Great review buddy 👍

[@STRAIGHTEDGEJAKE]

Lost my Olight SR1 at work and have been hesitant to rebuy even though it was my favorite edc ever, glad I held-out, thanks for the review

[@livingsurvival]

Very similar to Olight, in fact I wonder if they are made in the same factory. However, I'd take this over an Olight.

[@STRAIGHTEDGEJAKE]

Living Survival That’s all I needed to hear, sold 👍🏼

[@steveclark..]

For an everyday 24/7 belt carry torch, I'm thinking that the R2 would be the best option? I like the fact that you could get an AA battery from anywhere if needed. What do you think, are there any negatives I should know about before buying one??

[@TelekineticKhai]

Sold. And I almost bought a Fenix PD35 or Klarus. This video is a saver, thanks!

[@heavyhanded1782]

Still happy? Klarus is a good brand

[@rickyjohnson9944]

These are crazy similar to olight baton lights. Even the turbo modes are similar. I love the swivel feature. Might have to check them out! Great review.

[@jon-eriksuermann]

I’m an Olight fanboy, but after seeing this video I bought the R2 and it is hands down my favorite light.

[@PrecisionGroupYT]

I really Like my Rofis TR15.....Thanks for the video

[@Brandon_Neil]

I have 2 olight 14500 batteries. Can I charge them in the r2?

[@mattheauchesterfield4465]

Cool video thanks! Is the pocket clip reversible for bezel down?

[@ChrisJohnson-ht3gx]

The 18650 can be swapped for 2- 123As

[@topdog4570]

By chance do you know if the long S clip that Olight uses on the M2R will work on this light? Recently lost my M2R and looking at the R3 as a replacement but I love that S clip lol.

[@stevo1166]

Awesome one torch option! Very similar to olight s series, apart from swivel head. I've got the h1r, s2r, s1a, s10riii, R50 as well as many other options so not rushing out for these but nice to see more inovation.

[@ChadMorgan709]

Nice lights. I have never heard of them before but I will definitely consider them next time that I'm in the market for a flashlight.

[@jessetedder5064]

Good review! I bought the R3 after watching this...now just waiting for it to come in. I was a huge fan of the Olight sr1 but I lost mine a while back and this looks like a much better option. I do industrial mechanical work and the tilting head option on the R3 will make this very useful. I hope it can hold up to my heavy use.

[@dukeshiro]

For the R2, when using a AA alkaline, do you still get the 700 lumens?

[@Q1890]

Great Ben! I have the R1 on my Keychain for about a week or 10, works great and easy charging. I use it next to my Olight m2r that lives in my Jacket for when i need it.

[@究北送]

Will it get loose over time?

[@theMekanik]

Does it have USBC charging is there any flash lights that have 90% adjust ability and charge USBC.

[@livingsurvival]

These are discontinued unfortunately. And no I haven’t seen any others with swivel and usb-c

[@mikec.6460]

That is a cool light, I’ve been looking for a good swivel light....gonna try and get one after I get the Blackscout wowtac but great video and review 👍🏼🇺🇸

[@joetexas1546]

Thanks Ben-this freaking R3 is awesome! The neutral white is so much better than cool. Seems to be built like a tank -we’ll see.

[@cuppa_joe]

How easy is it to twist the head of the flashlight? I own a Rofis Tr20 and it takes quite a bit of force to swivel it.

[@livingsurvival]

ravenous369 they are quite stiff at first but seem to loosen up just a bit. I’d rather have them tighter than looser.

[@joneschan1495]

@@livingsurvival All over Amazon and forums ALL I hear is how these (ROFIS) are DOA or die in 7-30 days Have any issues? Man, I really like it but I have ( in the past) had Chinesey lights that crapped out fast Every person says NO cust serv at all

[@MrLetsmoveon]

@@BOOSTEDLASER The R1 has 4.5 out of 5 stars on Amazon with one review saying it was DOA. The R2 has 4.6 stars with no 1- or 2-star reviews. The R3 has 4 out of 5 stars with 4 mentions of light failing at some point. At least one person said their light was replaced by the seller. I think these are good enough numbers for me to give Rofis a chance. R1 or R2, I can’t decide.

[@BOOSTEDLASER]

@@MrLetsmoveon You're a bit off. I think you missed a few BAD reviews on Amazon,on forums and youtube. That said I ordered one. Got that insane discount code. All 4 lights on my short list will be here 1-3 more days

@@MrLetsmoveon I talked to the #1 vendor of Rofis..he flat out said "new MFG,quality is hit or miss" "old charger was BAD, 35-50% fail...new design is less bad." make sure to buy from Neal or Skyben,they will back up the Rofis and the MFG is 100% useless

[@livingsurvival]

jonathan2282 you will love it. Thanks for watching.

[@SWebb-tg1ki]

Why this instead of olight?

[@scs6757]

Sorry I'm late to reply, but, swivel head, and can charge a standard battery instead of the proprietary battery that's needed for in body charging on the Olight Baton series.

[@spaceminions]

I gotta say man, these are definitely not performance monsters; they're also a bit more expensive than mine. However the swivel and charging are nice if that's what you need, and the ability to run more kinds of battery is useful for some people. I can dig it, for sure. Since I brought it up, I should explain what I like about mine. My lights are cheaper, have generally better firmware (smooth graduations instead of a handful of discrete levels, thermal based turbo instead of timed, for instance), ~3500 lumens at turn on out of a small 18350 or 18650 (two different lengths tubes) or ~7000 at turn on out of a fairly cheap 4x18650 light or more out of more expensive ones. They also often have less green beams and better CRI which is a measure of color quality. (5000k at cri 100 would be close to sunlight). In fact, my small 3500 lumen one (which I should mention has to turn down its brightness to stay cool; it can't run indefinitely) has 90 cri.

[@freddiedorris3788]

I really like this ,,amazon here I go ,, thanks Ben 👍👍

[@Chaucerfaux1]

Wow, I'm quite impressed with those lights. will have to agree that the rofis rR3 well worth it. one can never have to many 18650 batterie operated lights. with all your lighting reviews i know full well you have quite the aresenal of 18650's. At 80$ i just will have to get me one or two of those elegant versatile lights.

[@tituspullo9210]

I purchased this lamp and use it probably more adverse conditions than the average user might. My findings...torch - excellent, charger cable - too thin and flimsy, lanyard - very cheap and nasty, headband - frays easily and loses it's elasticity very quickly, especially if used on a helmet. My conclusion......excellent little flashlight and would recommend it to anyone, but the extras that come with it are not very good.

[@quicksilversvt1]

Finally a review with all three! I can't decide which one to get. I like the r2 size but wish it had the r1 power. Great review!

[@livingsurvival]

Tough choice for sure.

[@daltons2544]

I got the r3, and it's as good as can be , bat it is on the heavy side

[@ricksousa9480]

I like them all, thinking R1

[@StarDarkAshes]

Yeah try dropping them. I saw your review and I was so excited and I got one and I loved it and then I dropped it like twice and it stopped charging it still works if I put a new battery in it but it won't charge so if Olight has any sense still make a flashlight that can convert like the rofis but it'll have that Olight dependability. Never again Ben

[@joneschan1495]

Wow, a strange flashlight, never seen. looks very useful

[@ToddfromCalifornia]

Those are cool never seen a swivel head like these But to bad they don't use what I call normal battery's

[@heavyhanded1782]

They aren't bad but the company disappoints me. I was watching a light around a month ago and suddenly the price increased by 20 bucks... I had no clue why they would do that until black Friday deals came around.... All made sense then as the price was reduced to the same price it was originally being sold for and I bet after black Friday it'll increase again for a few weeks and then go back to the original price I found it listed for.

[@CHCH179]

gonna get me some right angle light

[@kimurasquirrel]

I would like to mention that the older TR10 clip design in terms of placement is significantly more versatile than the newer version. Notice you can swivel the clip in ANY direction 360 degrees on the flashlight and keep functionality. For example you can place the clip IN FRONT of the head without blocking the 90 degree lamp or you can place it BEHIND the lamp without blocking the button. The R1 on the other hand only allows the clip to be placed left or right of the button/lamp to keep functionality. This prevents the ability to mount the lamp say on your front pocket or clip it anywhere where you want the light to shine in front of you. You always have to clip it to the side. Poor design that they could have simply changed.
