Wowtac A6: Compact 1460 Lumen EDC Budget Light - Preparedmind101

[@mr.delacruz559]

I’ve owned my A1 Tac A1S which is now known as Wow Tac and it’s still running like a champ! Since then I’ve bought Olight SR1 Banton & Thrunite T1 which is the parent company of Wow Tac and I must say for the money Wow tac is the best bang for buck. Quality flashlights at a great price. Can’t wait to buy this one!

I carry the Fenix E30R. It's the size of the Olight s1r baton and is 1600 lumens. I love it, its compact and bright as hell. Though I found myself going back to my previous carry more and more, which is the Rovyvon A24. You just cant beat a light the size of a 18650 battery that's 1000 lunens.

[@dangerdoberman]

Again...wish they made these with the end/cap button like the A1S.

[@robertb.3651]

Nice flashlight, but does it take Glock mags ????

[@dallasn16]

This would make the perfect flashlight for stashing places or throwing in kits, at least that's what I plan on using it for.

[@ktownkanak808]

Just got mine today. Nice little flashlight. Great cheaper alternative to the Zebralights. 👍

[@ravin747]

I respect Chris and his opinion on the products he reviews,so I ordered one of these lights.I do have a sure fire Z3 works great,but this light has a lot more lumens than the Z3. A new sure fire light with that amount of lumens will run you about $300 bucks. 30 is easy to swallow.

This guy is like the nutnfancy of knives.

[@TheRantinghick]

Not bad my only gripe is all the modes. I despise that in lights I really do. I want it to turn on/off and ill tolerate a hi/low beam function. Its getting harder and harder to find decent lights that dont have a stupid amount of modes. Disco is dead I don't need a strobe light.

[@dalew515]

Not a bad flashlight for the money. Thanks for the review.

[@dgio5052]

Hey shipwreck, got one of those Wowtac A1s lights based off of your review from years back and it works great. Money, definitely well spent.

[@18dmedic]

Ordered one of these the other day off Amazon and it arrived this afternoon. It is DOA. So returning and getting a replacement.

[@FuzzyMcFluffens]

Did you try screwing the front cap tight? Saw on another video that his arrived with it loose.

[@nitrorc4life1]

@@FuzzyMcFluffens and or tailcap too.

[@johnhertzog7647]

For that price point how can you go wrong. That's alot of light for that price plus it's rechargeable. I'd call that a win win

[@MrHomolka]

Seems like a nice budget friendly option. If it breaks, oh well. If not, even better.

[@jskrawz4611]

Very nice light... I need something for around the house for the wife since I work nights (she works days) and I EDC my Olight S30R Baton II everynight so she doesn't have anything to use if the power goes out... This light would be perfect... I still don't understand why there is such a huge gap between high and turbo... 400 to 1460??? Couldn't we have slipped an 800 in between??? Or use a variable mode like Wowtac has on other lights??? I would miss not having the magnetic tail cap but for around the house I guess it wouldn't be that big a deal... Nice review as always...

[@stevenrockemer1176]

JS Krawz, olight have really good lights now with magnetic tail caps and even get the new L mounting bracket that is also magnetic to mount somewhere around the house.

[@seaboss17]

Great review. I ordered one with your Amazon link

[@garyclark24]

Hi Chris, I had a thrunite TN12 for three years and recently lost it, I used it for inspecting houses right after a fire and at night, what would you recommend for a replacement? Thanks!

[@Texmex1985]

Luminus makes the sst-40. Has a lower forward voltage than xml and xpl and runs brighter. Only downside is the sst-40 is only cool white. The sst-20 is smaller, less lumens, more throwier and has more color options. Sorry had to geek out a little on yah. Love your vids.

[@AnthonyAusher]

Sst40 has a 5000k which is a higher end of neutral, this light comes in that option, right now it's only on their website though. I usually see 4000k as neutral and 3000 as warm but alot of guys will say 5000k is neutral in their eyes

[@kiteart]

how can I get the original Jessica X since it looks like they only make hollowgrind now?

[@aurthorthing7403]

I wish they would concentrate a little more on low output (firefly) modes and longer battery life. 90% of these things are like that kids FLASHLIGHT OF POW on the Goonies. It will blind you and kills the battery in 30 minutes and heats up like a charcoal briquette.

[@r.w.7232]

That goes against what everybody else wants in a flashlight. If an 18650 why only had very low Lumen output, it simply would not sell. True, we all want longer run time. And with the advancement in batteries and LEDs, that is increasing little by little. But the bottom line is people aren't going to buy a light that only has very low light output..

[@namethem00]

@@r.w.7232 I don't think that he means only Firefly modes, but Including it on more flashlights. As for battery life it's kind of a preference of wether you want a larger rechargable one or stuff that's more available, like aaa/aa

[@aurthorthing7403]

@@r.w.7232 there are a few out there and luckily, most are at the bottom end of the price range. I don't know anyone who wants strobe and SOS. "Features" are pushed into everything regardless.... glad I can make my own stuff and modify what I can't make.

[@ScottJamesIrvine]

Thanks for the review very helpful

[@jackbauer9077]

Man I wish it had a button on tail cap..... sweet light it will definitely be bought for some people for Xmas!

[@dae-youngkang3532]

What are your thoughts on the Streamlight Protac 1l-2aa? Still worth buying? Debating wether to buy that or the Klarus E1.

[@jamienelson5438]

Dae-Young Kang I have the 1L-1AA and it is a great light. For me it’s the perfect size. The beam is intense as the candela is high for only 350 lumens. I also looked at the Klarus E1 but actually landed on the Fenix LD30. It’s and 18650 the size of the 1L-1aa with 1600 lumens. It’s my new EDC

[@dae-youngkang3532]

Just found out the 1L-2AA can't use RCR123 or 14500. Definitely not worth its current price.

[@Call_Me_Dragon]

Just ordered one. Thanks. New sub.

[@cavalry1213]

The SST40, I believe, is made by Samsung.

[@darwinrodz8733]

👍👍👍👍👍 love wowtac

[@saucemaster2]

Wowtac is making it real hard to spend the extra money on Olight.

[@r.w.7232]

@Sven3xs No doubt it probably works well. But as Chris said in the video, it's a cheaper product. When you think about it, $30 and it includes the battery... that says something.

[@saucemaster2]

@@r.w.7232 I think it says that we're all getting fucked by these other "high end" companies and they better become more competitive. We can buy 3 of these and still come out cheaper than Olights.

[@NaturalMystic69]

I’ve got 2 or 3 Olights and unfortunately am not impressed by them. I’ve found them unreliable and have gone back to my Fenix and 4Sevens lights for EDC.

[@r.w.7232]

@@NaturalMystic69 that's ironic, because I used to own Fenix, they were great, but I switched over to Olight and own about 9 models now. I've not had a single problem with any of them and I use them regularly for work, camping, backpacking. Not a single problem.

[@MrHomolka]

@@r.w.7232 same here. I own many different models and have had zero issues. They hold charge great, the output is always impressive and overall I prefer their beam patterns

[@StabyMcStabnhimer]

might have to try this one, it might go with my ultratc k18 which i wear as a necklace cause my eyes have a very hard time with low light..let alone none.

[@StabyMcStabnhimer]

oh and thanks to you Chris , you are how i found the ultratack k18 to begin with

[@MegaDreloc]

Can you review the A4 V2? Great video BTW! 👍🏼

[@drlangattx3dotnet]

Can you baton with it?

[@nitrorc4life1]

Yes, your flashlight will be rendered useless when done but sure, knock yourself out. Of course I know what you meant.

[@johnwest4492]

Hey Chris, is the base of the light magnetic?

[@garyfrombuffalo]

No it’s not

[@matthewsalomone3800]

$20 on Amazon as of today

[@practicalguy973]

Yay! Another light with a USB flap the same size as the button and mirrored location on the opposite side of the head so I will fumble with it trying to find the button and start pressing the USB flap in accident. I hate that and I now own 2 flashlights that do that. They should make it under the threads like this, its better water proof, cheaper manufacturing with no waterproofing flap needed and out of the way: www.westerntechnologylights.com/product/model-7409-usb-rechargeable-led-flashlight/

Yeah dont waste your money. Just bought this. On turbo i can even see across my house.
