Was it a police officers mouth? I thought it was a dude working on his car/truck and holding the light in his mouth. I use Streamlights personally, but I can think of about 10 instances of Surefires getting runaway batteries in them while I was in the military. Anything from smoldering to violently creating a small explosion. There was a handful of instances with SureFires and Streamlights catching fire with police officers and some recalls too. In every instance I know of, it wasn't the lights fault either, but the user putting in crappy CR123's or instead or replacing both batteries, they just replaced one creating a runaway load. I'm not saying Olight is quality, I just don't know enough about them, but I do remember when everyone was calling Holosun junk at one time and while they aren't the best red dot pistol optics around, I wouldn't hesitate in using them on my EDCs or home defense guns. I also found the court report. I haven't looked to see if the dude was a cop, but just a dude that was working on his car. The unit had a runaway battery, pressure blew the cap back into his throat and he choked to death. The case was dismissed as it was deemed the CR123 manufacturers fault and not Olights.

[@44668282]

thats exactly what happened, it was found to be the fault of the third party batteries they were using in the olight flashlight, but tell that to anyone who hates olight and suddenly the subject changes "MuH SuReFiRe WoNT dO ThAt"

[@projectiledysfunction2217]

Wasn't a cop according to the article I found, was a contractor who was working on his car: "Caleb Joyner, of Avon, Ind., was pronounced dead at 8:30 p.m. on Wednesday at Presence St. Mary's Hospital, according to Kankakee County Coroner Bob Gessner. The 36-year-old Joyner, who owns a remodeling and construction company, was an organ donor and several of his organs and tissue were harvested... Gessner said Joyner was looking under the hood and bent down for a closer look. He got close to the vehicle's battery and the flashlight exploded." I've read about the mechanism through which CR123As explode and it's called reverse charging, happens when you mix batteries at differing levels of charge which is why there's such dire warnings to never do so. So, it wasn't the Olights internal rechargeable batteries as claimed in this video, but rather the cheapo Nuon brand CR123As. That info is even displayed in the video at 26:45. I like this channel but he got the battery issue completely ass-backwards, the use of multiple CR123As is the problem and the use of rechargeable cells is the safer solution

Yes the TLR1 is brighter definitely past 40 yards, but 40 yard in the dark I would hope to have a rifle lol. Also, on both the TLR1 and TLR7… the flood is great and on a pistol light is needed for the homies buddies you may not see right by him.

You can find the police report on that olight. The person used a different battery than what the light was designed for. I think they probably should have made them in a different dimension though 😂. But the instructions have always stated to never use any other battery brand.

[@Itsdamnitjeremy]

I run the tlr7a specifically because I don't like a giant bulb poking me in the groin, and it actually has more lumen than the standard tlr1. If goon beam could produce a tlr-7a footprint with twice the lumen, or maybe maybe release a hotter replacement head or something it would really kick ass.

[@TertiaOculus]

I researched the olight death and it wasn’t necessary the light but the after market battery that exploded however there are a lot of claims that olight likes to get people to shill for them. I own an olight baldr pro it’s better than a crimson trace that died on my M9 the first 50 shots.

[@DeskPop]

Olight absolutely wants people to shill for them, I could’ve just asked them for the lights and they would’ve sent them to me and given me money to include them. Their rechargeable batteries that go boom is a major turn off

[@josiahb55]

Yes that's true, it was an aftermarket battery issue and using a wrong one at that, not an olight battery issue according to the information out there. Truthfully could have happened and has happened (outside of the death) to any brand. However, still would advise stream light over olight.

Flashlight? On a pistol? ...when was the last time you ack'chually _needed_ that?

[@marcusd3212]

First of all people really need to do there research on the bullpoop topic of olight flashlights explode. In that case Caleb Joyner was using a Olight T20 hand held flashlight. The T20 flashlight uses 2x CR123A (Non Rechargeable) or Rechargeable li-ion either 2x RCR123A 3.7v or 1x 17670 3.7v battery. The batteries is what can explode. If you use 2x CR123 batteries and one of them isn't fully charged when installed, the 1 dead one will go negative in voltage when the new one just goes dead. This is what can cause the batteries to explode. Also using 2x CR123 batteries in series parallel is dangerous by its self. All manufacturers of flashlights have had this issue so its not just Olight. I have used multiple manufacturers weapon light and Olight has been great. I've never had a issue with any of them and some of them have been abused hard with 20,000+ rounds of recoil. Ive thrown them on tables, in oil drums, in boxes. They've fell on the ground, been drug through mud dirt and gravels. Been soaked with rain and water and put away wet. They all work perfectly fine! I've had zero of them break and I've broken 3 surefire lenses. I love my surefire lights but they are expensive compared to Olight. So over the time I've used alot of Olight weapon lights to fulfill the need of not having to switch lights around on firearms. They all get a weapon light cause im all about that equality and making sure non of them feel oppressed! 😂 im glad you did add some Olight's to your test cause ultimately they are decent weapon lights!

[@TheAndrewc5120]

for 80 bucks, the pl turbo's light is better for night use than the x300t AND modlite. i want to try out the goonbeam though. need a light for a p10c junker, might fuck around and order one.

[@politicalpolarbear]

I used to like Olight until I saw how their runtime profiles worked. They all run for like 2 minutes and do huge downramps of lumens to continue the runtime. That's just not acceptable to me. I need it to run the same lumens until the battery is dead.

[@chevrofreak]

The battery in the Olight that exploded was not a rechargeable, it was a Nuon brand CR123a primary cell. CR123a's are dangerous, and in multi-cell lights will explode if you use mixed capacity (as in, one used and one new) almost every single time. The only thing Olight got in trouble for is not putting enough warning about the dangers of CR123a cells on their packaging.

I use the TLR1-HL over any Surefire for one reason - switches! Yes, I have a couple Surefire pistol lights, but they are not in an EDC role. Strobe feature doesn’t get the love they deserve. As a retired combat Infantryman and former LEO with plenty of GWOT and street time, bright LED strobes will blind and disorient people. Could cause other issues, but if pointed at a threat, who cares.

[@DeskPop]

Strobe limits your visual input and can absolutely result in causing a not clean kill on an unarmed assailant, or get you killed by an armed one... There’s a reason most companies do not have a strobe option! I agree with the switches thought, the TLR-1HL has the best feeling switches by far; with surefire having the most annoying switch I’ve ever run.

[@CalzaTheFox]

CR123s have a risk of exploding if they are run back-to-front and their charge levels differ. It can create a thermal runaway event. The olight that exploded was in this config. I suspect they went to internal rechargeable to avoid it happening again. When you run them in series, side to side, it's less likely to happen. At that point it being an olight is irrelevant since X300 lights have the same config.

[@WitchdoktahArms]

for a split second, I thought that was Heath Cortez. I got my SF X300 on the zon. and it let me make 6 no interest payments for like 6 months. i needed it for my fauxland special.

[@rossdonaghy1748]

Water is relevant. Worst thing to happen would be the light dies from a little soak, we need to fight in the rain. Freezing? Waste of time. Both batteries and LEDs are negatively effected by extreme cold, one should know this when preparing to go into ice weather. Insulating the light body would also result in overheating so this scenario, especially at -hundreds should absolutely cause issues. I would have preferred impact testing, this we need to know: How long would they hold up getting bashed around while on? Obv a very expensive test as this will delete their value but the most valuable information also for your audience. Put them on, tape the switches off and dump them in a cement mixer.

In very simple terms: Lumen is spill and Candela is throw.

[@11bravoak]

Lumen is light intensity, candela is the ability to throw...

[@DeskPop]

Correct

You guys are in the northwest right?

[@DeskPop]

Yes!

@@DeskPop me too! 👌🏽

[@americanmade422]

X300 tubro or the olight pl turbo

[@DeskPop]

Honestly, either one is very good. The plight has a much warmer color temp compared the the surefire, but the CRI on both is rough equivalent

[@Rowganlife]

just poor it out! for cryin out loud! grabbin dry ice...i tell ya.. lol

[@bdbeats7209]

Bottom line, sure fire is overpriced and under preforms. But hey, it's your money, not mine.

[@Warhammer77]

TLR-1 HL period

[@DeskPop]

If you want flood yes; even at 40 yard it was pretty noticeably dim compared to the rest of the

[@jackbauer4186]

Yet again, Surefire is fine, but nowhere near the price they are sold for.

[@twrol]

0:43 yeah don’t waist your time positively identifying your target if it doesn’t blind them…

[@DeskPop]

You can’t PID someone if they’re simply holding a handheld light that’s brighter than your weapon light. Everyone thinks “something is better than nothing” until you learn that you can’t push past a light barrier without a brighter light than your opposition.

[@cranberryrelish1179]

Is goonbeam gonna stop making tlr1 style lights?

[@DeskPop]

He may do another run after this video… but he doesn’t want to get sued

[@cranberryrelish1179]

@DeskPop fair enough. Idk how they have straight up fakes for airsoft or whatever branded as real tlr-1 hl and streamlight doesn't do anything about that. They always go after the small business I suppose

[@devalishxb91]

Kinda mad modlite isn't on here

[@DeskPop]

We just don’t know anyone (Leo or Military) that actually runs modlight tbh…

[@isac20]

Who post on a random Thursday night

[@DeskPop]

Sorry; are you upset?? We love you ❤

[@pyeitme508]

Wow

[@DeskPop]

We are so so so BACK

[@360Swurve]

Surefire is so lame.. im selling my x300ua and my scout 600 turbo because i compared them both to all my streamlights and was not impressed

[@raisedbobcat8266]

Avoiding be called a shill is cool or whatever but please for the love of God stop spreading the Olight story around improperly. Also, who gives a fuck what the guy who died (and used the wrong battery) did for work? I don’t care if he was a cop, neurosurgeon, or garbage man. Why add bias to the contest off rip? Sure you guys mean well but that intro was 80 iq at best. And no, I don’t own an Olight

[@DeskPop]

You seem upset but I am not "spreading" a random story. I posted a source for this in the video.... They have been really good at pushing the "it was the battery" sorry but a quick google search will show you dozens of results for baldiers (internal battery) and other Olight's also exploding or catching fire... Seriously man, you can't believe every comment you read as "fact" you can find all this info on google in about ten minutes... There was no bias, I didn't even hover on it; they're a company with historically bad QC that I was hoping made a very good product, and they did in this instance.

[@sleigh4019]

X300 is old junk ...was great years ago

[@DeskPop]

X300Turbo came out in 2022…
