This Might Change Your Mind On OLIGHT Flashlights! Warrior X 4 Thrower Review

[@150supervisor]

I’m a police officer and this flashlight is awesome I use it everyday for traffic control from 7 am to 8 pm and have had no issues. The usb charging is a game changer and also may I add bro you did an awesome instruction manual n how to use it great job and I always look forward for your reviews

[@officialjasonpalmer]

Does the holster it comes with fit the duty belt? I can’t find that info anywhere.

[@150supervisor]

@@officialjasonpalmer yes sir it does and works pretty good

[@officialjasonpalmer]

Thanks. That’s what the only question remaining for my purchase decision.

I got the warrior X3 and it’s been an excellent flashlight, and considering that I own multiple olights, I’ll say this much about them. Their batteries are fantastic. I have had my olights for several years and my batteries still work just as good as they did when I bought them new, So them being proprietary batteries I would say that people should not really worry about it because they do last for a very long time, From my personal experience with olight I would rank them up there with the best 👍👍 I hope this is helpful for anybody on the fence of getting an olight

[@kundetjenesten]

Me and the mrs together have 5 Olights that run on the 21700, so buying a few spare ones isn't a big deal. We really don't have anything else that would run on that cell even if it wasn't unique for Olight. I think some people just like to complain.

[@dcxSpartan117]

@@kundetjenesten definitely, also olight sells their specific batteries on amazon now. Makes it very easy

[@yourpalcraig]

The tactical mode seems very useable for defensive and longer term encounters. I’ll probably wait for the pro version to come out to see if it’s a large upgrade but if not I may pick this up.

[@boomerak4774]

Out of all the flashlights I have from Nitecore and another olight the javelot pro 2 the warrior x4 is by far my favorite. If I had to get rid of my lights and just keep one the warrior x4 would be the only one I keep

[@validteacher01]

What holster do you use for it?

[@patricj951]

I have the X3. I like the simplicity. The low mode is enough for most allround tasks and lasts for many hours. Bear in mind this level was turbo mode of LED flashlights ~15 years ago! High mode is just impressive. Feels like a car high beam in the hand! But it lasts for only a very short time and fastly drains the battery. Therefore this new X4 is very interesting. Sometimes I want a level higher than 300lumen but still possible to use for extended time. The mid mode of 1000lm level is just right here! Apart from that, the usb-C port is a true advantage. The possibility to charge the light with the mobile phone charger is great. I am very temped to get X4!

[@ucanon2662]

I'll buy one if and when a Tactical Ring is available for it.

[@Madman6505]

Haha! I said something similar on another channel and was attacked like I was some kind of PETA animal rights wacko.

[@Madman6505]

Love the beam shots. I would love to see this light compared to the Nitecore MH25 pro. The Nitecore's specs are more impressive on paper, but that light may be more of a dedicated thrower and not necessarily a tactical range light. I would love to hear people's thoughts on this.

[@TarmoLuumann]

IMO I would not buy a light with a rubber-covered charge port - it will fail sooner or later. Metal-covered charge port on light or usb-c port on battery is the way to go. Fenix and Olight have seen the light on this one :)

[@Madman6505]

@TarmoLuumann good point.

[@Im_Vigilant]

I was interested in the MH25 Pro as well. Ended up going with the warrior x4 because the turbo on the MH25 only lasts like 35 seconds. Which was a deal breaker for me.

[@Gunner4D]

What the hell is wrong with your viewers? This light is amazing for tactical and long distance throw. Would be a great searchlight and blind an attacker! What more could you ask for?

[@FktGT]

I have an Olight R50 Pro Seeker that came with an Olight 3.7v 26650 Lithium ion rechargeable battery. I bought it along with lots of kit for a vehicle project I was putting together which took way longer than expected. When I came to unpack the olight unit with vehicle mounted charging carriage the battery wouldn't hold a charge properly. Even tho new out of the box, it was out of warranty because I stupidly didn't open it upon arrival and it was on a shelf for over 12 months. Ok, thats my fault for assuming it would work as new out of the box. So I looked to buy a new replacement OEM Olight 26650 battery, only to find its discontinued ! I've got 3 Olight head torches, all perform well. I would never invest again in any of their more substantial torches!

[@Doobs82]

@@rshinn8776ehhh that happened cause he used the wrong battery. Not exactly olights fault.

[@Rfx372]

I do think Tactical should be highest output and turbo. If you use both charging systems at the same time will it charge faster? Or burn out?

[@WorkshopAddict]

It won't dual charge. USB C will default

[@Doomguy-777]

If they removed the stupid glowing bezel, that's probably a purchase for me although I still like my X3. The new additions regarding USB-C (I'm not into strobe mode but the mode change seems fairly well designed, not really in the way) and the fact that they made the cooling fins more streamlined is good, less prone to catch on stuff. A bit more throw range according to them and maybe more spill with the slightly wider lens and thinner bezel. That said it seems that they cut corners again regarding the striking bezel and didn't even bother including zirconium beads this time around. The rubber ring is probably cheaper to manufacture than the machined aluminium "tAcTiCaL" knuckle ring too. Nonetheless I like this new sheath, they probably got inspired by Nitecore or something. Good thing they made the bezel removable too, because on the X3 it seemed like it was press fit.

[@Southernboy302]

Yeah Idk what they were thinking with the glowing stuff on the X3... I wanted to run it on a rifle, but that killed that. Went with the 3S.

[@bartcornelius7717]

I just ordered one. 👍

[@pilotkh4]

I bought this recently and I am underwhelmed. On high mine gets so hot I can’t hold it in less than a minute. On the next lower setting it is weaker than a $16 copy I got overseas and which I’ve used for years. The $16 light produces a very strong beam (almost the same as the Warrior x4 on high) but never gets hot. Also, last time I went fishing the Warrior x4 would not turn off from high beam until I unscrewed the cap and removed the battery. When both are charged I’ll always grab the cheap light because I can rely on it. The Warrior……..not so much.

I don't understand why would 21700 battery be proprietary? Type 21700 is standard and can be replaced with any battery of same dimensions right? Or is there really some chip inside?

Depends on how much throw you want. Check out the regular olight seeker 4.. I have the seeker 4 PRO and love it but it’s very floody. The regular seeker 4 is a nice in between this warrior and the seeker 4 pro. If I was a cop I’d def check out the seeker 4!

I got the seeker 4 pro and I love it but there’s times I would prefer a spot rather than a flood so I got the warrior x4 and I will use the seeker for closer work built up areas inside buildings ect and the warrior when I’m in the open and want to throw some light to search around, both fantastic torches

It would be nice to see Milwaukee make a gen 2 version of the M12 metal flashlight 2355-21 and upgrade it to 2000 Lumens from 800!! Especially now that they have the CP batteries in a 3.0 and a 2.5 High Output version!

The warriors are the ultimate torch hand down but why cant they just make the UI go from low mode momentarily burst turbo then seamlessly back to low which is how a person that actually uses the torch uses the modes, seems a no brainer to me but hay I just use the torch, what would I know 😂

[@lynxrbeam8732]

I really want usb c charging in the warrior 3. Not the 3s, the 3. I got one right before they stopped making them and switched to the smooth bezel and proximity sensor. If they could bring back the 3 with a usb c dual charging option I think that would be the perfect light.

[@Blueknight1960]

I have had this light for 6+ mos and if I knew then what I know now, I wouldn't have bought it. On high after about 30-45 seconds, the head is so hot you can barely touch it. The power switch is very finicky. It's not very intuitive to get it into strobe mode. It is a bright light but, I wouldn't recommend it. Extra battery isn't cheap. If the light was $40-$50, I say it would be worth it but, at over $100 it's not.

Not having to carry a slower, priority cable just to charge a flashlight is bothersome. There's a reason light is moving towards usb-c.. the sooner the better. I suppose you like apple, thought larger screens for a cell phone is a terrible idea.

[@allemander]

@@carlose6010 Your first sentence means the exact opposite of what you intended to convey. Also, “priority” does not mean proprietary.

[@JoshThompson25]

Type c is common so now you dont have to carry around a specific cable thats only good to charge the flashlight. Usb c is used to charge pretty much everything nowadays making it more convenient to charge the flashlignt. Dont see how you dont understand this concept butnheres an example. In my house i have a usb c cable at my nightstand, desk, family room, kitchen, and garage. Also have one in my car and in my bag. Also have powerbanks with built in usb c cables on them. So just about anywhere i am i am ready to charge should i need to. No one wants to carry around that stupid tail cap,charging cable with them or buy several of them to stash around in places just for a single device when usb c is basically the standard these days

[@Doomguy-777]

"Type C isn't an improvement" Literally everyone requested for a Type C port since it's a lot more universal across electronic hardware. Phones use Type C, powerbanks use Type C, faster charging with Type C is possible, literally my headphones, keyboard and mouse I'm using right now use Type C ports. Also it's a good thing that they added a LED indicating the battery life and concealed under the same ring instead of just vibrating. Some people run this light on their rifle and the vibration system is not great for that, no way to know if it's dying or not without holding the light directly and wait. This flashlight is a straight upgrade from the X3 although not really for the bezel and ring. The bezel is thinner and lens wider for more spill while allegedly improving the throwing distance by tens of meters again, but the striking bezel tips they clearly cut corners with that more and more and that's not great. They used to make agressive bezels and X3 they reduced the tips got reduced in number for the X3 (but added zirconium beads instead). On the X4 the tips look even more barebone and that's sad. The rubberized ring is also cheaper to manufacture than a machined aluminium ring, let's face it.

[@nomercyinc6783]

@@Doomguy-777 nobody needs the same cord for everything they own. i use the omino 4 way charging dock and type c lights from olight are not compatible. if they are going to use type c they certainly should use the magnetic type for everything else they've ever made. having to plug a male cord into a female slot instead of just dropped the light near the charging base and have it connect and charge is not possibly more convenient or charge the lights faster. these flashlight batteries can only charge at 2.4 amps. yes you can run more amps through a type c connector but not into the flashlight. the only olights that have fast charging through usb c are the new seeker 4 pro and the swivel pro max and maybe a couple of the lanterns. fast charging into flashlight batteries isn't a capabilities the batteries themselves have.
