These are absolutly not the best tactical light. I have used one got the past two years everyday. the tail switch will gunk up with sand, mud and dust completely seizing it up with no way to full disassemble it for cleaning. I've had plenty of issues with charging due to faulty batteries and shitty tail switch. And The plastic lens will dirty and scuff very easily due to it being plastic
Just reconnected to the flashlight world and wow so much change! These are far from your "father's flashlight" with one intensity, finicky batteries that ended up leaking and ruining the flashlight; weak lamps - even kryptons by comparison, that had to be changed once in a while. This model looks great and works great, just got mine.
I really liked Warrior 3,until it melted a hole in my vest. Now that it has a proximity sensor, I'm going to see if I like it as much as the Warrior mini 2. I too carry 2 flashlights: Baton 3 and Warrior mini 2.
This is a classic "Olight Clown" who gets freebies if he keeps up the positive reviews & increases Olight sales. These people make it seem like proximity sensor is futile. It's really not. And it's actually very annoying.
@@doejon9424 what even is this sensor they speak of? I’m not a big flashlight collector. Always but the cheapest at Walmart but I’m tired of replacing them. Researching for an upgrade
@1gil2Kill I ended up with a Manker E14 III and love it so far. Got an extra housing for the larger battery. Definitely an upgrade from the $1 rack at Walmart. Going to checkout olight and I’ll visit the site you recommended as well
@@chrisunruh6485 Fenix!!!! Fenix!!! Listen to me. PD36R. Long runtime on turbo and USB-C rechargeable! Overall best light I have ever owned. Love the versatility and build quality of Fenix. I've owned them for years and have bought 7 or 8 more of them since last summer from the same store, of which has nearly stopped carrying Olight because they have so many returns they suggested I don't risk it. I visit the store every year and will even tell you where it is and what it is called. Smoky Mountain Knife Works in TN. Fenix. Fenix. Fenix. Oh, I forgot one thing. I was in there just yesterday 6/28 and they had 2 lights and no other displays in the Olight case. Fenix had plenty to choose from and they'll tell you that Fenix sells the most and returns the least.
C'mon! What type of battery does the 3S accept? 2300 lumens is a lot but having to change battery size can be a game changer for those who already have plenty of 16150 batteries.
Hi, I recently purchased one and was wondering if you have noticed a faint shadow in the center of the hot spot? I’m wondering if it’s from the proximity sensor.
I like the Warrior X3 due to the Warrior ring. Because if you shine it in someone's eyes you better be ready for a fight, putting 2500 lumens in someone's face is no joke. Around 1k is good enough to work but not cause permanent damage or an immediate fight.
can the light be used while recharging? like turn it on and then plug it in ? or can you plug it in and then turn it on ? that recharge cap makes me think it blocks the on and off button.
I run mine at 800 lumens and after 5 minutes the last just turns off completely I have to turn it back on and it happens again and again also the proximity sensor doesn't work at all
I love my PD36TAC. I love all of my Fenix lights. Every time I think of getting a really nice looking Olight, I read several negative comments. I read way more negative comments on Olight than on any other brand. I'll stick with Fenix
When purchasing a olight product, always get an extra battery or two as they are proprietary and they discontinued my original warrior flashlight battery. Olight are fantastic, but this proprietary battery business is BS, and the magnetic charging cords green and red lights never, and I mean never work properly.
Stumbled on your site I'm glad to find someone else who thinks this is the best light made. I've had mine for about a year and walk my dog in the dark first thing in the morning. I live out in the country and I'm more amazed with this light now than went I bought it. You can scroll through the brightness levels on the fly and If you need a blinding light hit the turbo. The video does not due this justice it is insanely bright. Magnetic base, moonlight setting, multiple brightness setting it checks every box. If I could only have one flashlight this is it and there is not a close second. If you are in the market for a flashlight don't even think about anything else just pull the trigger and get it, you won't be disappointed.
The Olight Warrior 3S is kind of a bad joke, turbo only last 2.5 minutes? Yes, the 2300 turbo only last 2.5 minutes on a fully charged battery, if you need turbo a second time you’ll get 1 minute of runtime. No third time until you recharge and top-off the battery. After 2.5 minutes turbo steps down to a 800lm high mode for additional 166 minutes but.. 800lm high has a greenish tint that really unpleasant! I’ve got a 10 year old Eagtac D25LC2 that runs at 1374 lumens for 1.5hrs that’s smaller and outperforms the Warrior 3S..
Thanks For this video. just a few days ago I watched your earlier Warrior review that talked about the Olight flashsales, and I was able to get the Warrior 3s on sale (30 or 40% off!). I always thought that bright flashlights needed to be huge, but these flashlights are amazing. Thanks again, you saved me a tonne of cash, and helped make the outdoors at night fun again!!
I’ve always wanted to get into metal detecting. It looks like a fun and possibly rewarding hobby. I love orange so Olights orange colors are Awesome. I have the Perun 2 headlamp in orange. I just came across your channel. Nice videos
I used to do it and had a pretty good rig. The minelab equinox 600. Probably the best find I came across on a walking trail was a .22 cal slug. I could not believe it was that sensitive to sniff out a copper slug like that. However. If you don’t live near any historical sites, or virgin grounds (have never been dug)… your best luck would be at busy beach wear people are losing jewelry and all manner of items all the time. Part of the reason it happens is that the ligaments/ extremities of the human body shrink (rings off fingers especially) and therefore fall into the ocean. But good luck and happy hunting if you do get into metal detecting.
How usable is the 1 lumen mode? I have the Olight Perun 2 Mini and its 1 lumen mode is almost bright enough indoors at night as a standalone light source. If the Warrior 3S is anything like that… that alone would be worth it to buy because of the long runtime 💯👌🏼
Ok so way to big to be a EDC, plus what's up with that crappy two way pocket clip where half the flashlight sticks out of the pocket. Also for me at least batteries are a big part of a flashlight. I didn't hear you mention them. I'm sure that there probably proprietary 21700 and standard 21700 won't work, because Olight has become greedy.
I love bright colors...the Orange is great! It's easy to find if you drop it.... easy to find if your digging it out of a bag.......bright colors in general for stuff that you can lose easily or have to dig for sometimes to get just make life so much easier!!
Dont do good review for bad companies like olight .they sell u the product with excessive promotion but not take care the poblem when it happen not honer their warrenty .
I just ordered one of these at 40% off on their store page. They're celebrating an anniversary or something (any excuse to have a sale is fine by me). I would love to see more of those that carry firearms also EDC a light. On a side note, I've been carrying the very slim and powerful Fenix pd32v2 for over a year now and that thing has a very tight hot spot... it's actually a bit too tight for many uses, however, it's excellent for blinding an attacker or packing some serious throw. The thing is the most fun light I own for it's thin 18650 form factor and its lazer like capabilities. It's around 40,000 candela at 1,200 lumens(although you'd think it's higher) on turbo and very lightweight. I'm excited to see if the warrior 3s replaces it in my pocket daily, as it's notably larger.
I had a Fenix and that damn thing was always burning my leg from accidental activation even with the lock on. But I don't have to worry about that anymore since it burnt out the other after only owning it for maybe a year. $120 well waisted. So I ordered to he Olight 3s it will be nice to have a tail switch again and a side button that will not be so soft that clothes turn it on. Ya know it's kinda in a bad area down in your pocket trying to start a fire, might get your self a bbq hot dog😵
I watched the video until about the 7 minute mark and thought why am I wasting my time watching for ? Straight to Ebay and ordered one in OD Green.. Great review.. your honesty sold me !!
Excellent review, thank you! As you say, “That’s the thing about Olight, lots of colors!” Yes, indeed that’s what keeps me coming back to Olight, all the great colors.
O light sure makes some wonderful powerful lights. I love the orange one you can find it easier if you forget where you put it down at. The bigger hot spot is great I always enjoy the review videos. Thanks Charlie
After watching your review I am going to go ahead and ignore all negative things people say about olight and get me a warrior 3s. Looking forward for the Black Friday sale. Thanks
I've used Olights for a few years. I also have a good friend who works at a rural airport and he swears by them. I've never had an issue with their lights and I have both weapon mounted and handheld models.
I just picked up one myself, the specs are great. I can't wait to see how it holds up. BTW, what's that battery bank you're using early on in the video? Thanks and keep up the good work!
My light doesn't charge! The charger light stays green and never goes red. I'm down to one bar on my light and it won't charge. Can anybody suggest a good charge port for this thing? Any links? Mind you, my light is only one month old
Don't purchase I got one a few years ago, it went faulty within a month, sent it back to be fair olight repaired it although I felt it should have been replaced as it went bad so quick, now just last week it stopped working altogether. Very disappointing.
If they could make a Thrower version .. Using a throwrr6 emitter..32k candela... TGRUNITE has done this... They got a Thrower in the same body of their EDC lights
Amazing flashlights and your reviews are impeccable. Yet here im who needs a flashlight with removable batteries i mean not a chargeable ones coz i sleep out in the jungle for a week or two hunting. Could you please recommend me with something that could be loaded with disposable batteries,durable, rugged and long lasting?
Has anyone else experienced that when the power has 3 lights showing TURBO can no longer be used? I can’t find anyone saying the same thing. Wondering if I have a defective unit or no,..:this is normal. Thank you.
I have fenix tk16v2, looking for another with longer throw and still good spill. I'm looking at the nitecore p23i, says it can hold high at 1,500 for 2.5 hours. Do you have any recommendations? also have marauder mini showing up in couple of days.
If u prefer olight that's cool but it's not the best, the NITECORE MH12SE uses more batteries, has more distance and candela, and longer runtime, duel switches and only 5 inches long, and it uses the same type c charger my phone and everything else uses, don't have to carry a separate charger just for your flashlight, it also uses cr/rcr 123 batteries in a pinch, also has plastic tactical quick draw holster, and optional pressure switch for gun mounting
That's a nice light if you don't mind the charging port and odd texture, however, Nitecore doesn't stand by their warranties and products. There's quite a lot of history with them displaying poor business practices if you care to look into it before making a choice. All that said, I love the throw/ hot spot and spill mixture on the NITECORE MH12SE, so I can see why you would like it for it's compact nature. Many people like a little extra length on their EDC light to bash with if needed.
@@switch4960 I have no experience with their customer service because I've never needed it, not one NITECORE has ever malfunctioned on me, so idk personally....
@@switch4960 actually I forgot my P30i had a defective tail cap, I they mailed me a new one fast, no problem, I live in west Texas and dealt with the NITECORE store in Austin, positive experience overall, for me personally at least.
So do you like this better then the fenix pd36r? I have the pd36r and I love it but in 4 days olight is going to have a badass deal on this orange olight and the olight baton pro max as a bundle deal and I'm thinking about getting them.. also does the new warrior s have a better flood then the pd36r?
I’m liking that light a lot! I also see the Yaesu FTD5. How’s that radio working for you? I’d love to see some Ham radio videos. Do you work HF at all?
What would you think is better all round. The warrior 3s or the seeker pro 3. I’m used to an adjustable focus. So I’m concerned the warrior won’t flood much and the seeker not great for spotting.
I personally really dislike having a sensor (point of failure) in a flashlight. My first Olight was the baton 3 pro. Two months after purchase it failed due to that sensor. It caused it to auto dim it in every setting regardless of what I did. I just recently ordered the warrior 3s ONLY BECAUSE YOU CAN DISABLE THE SENSOR if it fails. Adding points of failure to a edc tool is just not logical to me personally. And the fact you can disable the sensor on this W3S is the only reason I’m giving Olight a second chance. Would prefer them just put a tough enough lense on it so it wouldn’t melt. Cause we all know that’s the real reason the sensor is there
Can you indeed turn off the sensor??? Olight email says you can't. If you can please please please let me know. It's only thing keeping me from buying it. Thanks a ton
@@nickpetersen6406 I don’t think you can on this specific unit unless you took it apart and removed it or cut the wires to it possibly? Idk. I have sense swapped to the baton 3 1200lumens and a baton 3 pro max 2500 lumens because the 3 dosnt have the sensor and the 3 pro max you can turn it off. Really hate the sensor a lot personally
That's unfortunate... I got the baton 3 pro yesterday, I need a tail switch for my application thought I would try the botton 3 pro. It's OK but not for the price. Thanks for the reply. Truly means alot and saved me a massive waste of time.
Hi I'm really considering this light. But I was wondering about the 2.5 minute runtime on turbo... is that 2.5 min a step down and you can use the turbo again eventually after cooling? Or once used on turbo for 2.5 min the turbo is completely useless?
Turbo mode will still be available provided the battery is over 75% charged. Below this value, the voltage will be too "low" and the Turbo disappears. An excellent flashlight provided you recharge it with each use, in fact. The Warrior 3 has the same UI too.
Would be nice if olight would consider C.R.I. Color rendering index... after all the quality of the light should represent the quality of the flashlight.. this brand has excellent builds with pathetic cri. Their is more to light than cool white vs. Neutral white... The light reflected back to the eyes SHOULD be accurate for plus $100.oo pocket lights.
They're still value based compared to MANY other brands. Demanding minutia for the same price point is probably futile. I've been running Olights on several of my weapons for years and they've been money
Just received the Warrior 3S in OD Green. Love it. Take care.
These are absolutly not the best tactical light. I have used one got the past two years everyday. the tail switch will gunk up with sand, mud and dust completely seizing it up with no way to full disassemble it for cleaning. I've had plenty of issues with charging due to faulty batteries and shitty tail switch. And The plastic lens will dirty and scuff very easily due to it being plastic
Thanks for the review. I think this one might be my next purchase. I have the Warrior Mini2 and I love it.
I like the warriar mini 2 because the lumens is lower for each setting, giving you more hours of battery in a smaller package.
Just reconnected to the flashlight world and wow so much change! These are far from your "father's flashlight" with one intensity, finicky batteries that ended up leaking and ruining the flashlight; weak lamps - even kryptons by comparison, that had to be changed once in a while.

Yeah… maglite needs to step their game up before these quality Chinese brands make them obsolete

Your opinion does not matter, PERIOD!

Lol boys and their toys…. The only thing that changes is that as they get older they actually convince themselves that they’re not toys.😄

Another awesome flashlight from Olight. And a great review from you! 👍👌👌

They were so scared of people getting burned lol
Hands down best flashlight video I’ve ever seen. I’m sold. Going to buy one right now
Fenix flashlights trump olights. The runtimes on olights are atrocious, plus the proprietary charging system. Not for me
Dont do good review for bad companies like olight .they sell u the product with excessive promotion but not take care the poblem when it happen not honer their warrenty .
Needs USB C and moonlight mode with similar lumen as the previous version and it will be fantastic

Fuck thanks dude
Damn I just checked must be over already
@@otpays8552 warrior x 3 is currently on sale. Im a month late, but the sale had one more day.
I personally like the strike tip
I am pretty sure that the 2.5 minutes on full blast is due to overheat protection, not because the battery is empty after 2.5 minutes.
I lost my titanium warrior mini 2. I am replacing it with this for my car light. I carry the warrior nano daily though
What would you say is the best holster for a light? That would be a great video!

What is the difference between the 3 and the 3s?
Hello,
What's the country of origin?
I use my Warrior 3 to defrost pizza regularly so not sure about the prox sensor
This light makes me happy

I have a warrior 3s that's made of copper. It's so heavy it's great for smashing heads.
Great video review really like your outdoor video shots look great and matches what I see with these lights in person.

I hope he gets back to the both of us inquiring minds want to know about that power bank.
I use Olight on my home defense weapons as well.
Same here. The Valkyrie mini 2 and the mini Baldr throw out an incredible amount of light in a small package
Low crime area, then? Has to be if you trust olight for much of anything, especially as a weapon light

@@switch4960 I have no experience with their customer service because I've never needed it, not one NITECORE has ever malfunctioned on me, so idk personally....
@@switch4960 actually I forgot my P30i had a defective tail cap, I they mailed me a new one fast, no problem, I live in west Texas and dealt with the NITECORE store in Austin, positive experience overall, for me personally at least.
So do you like this better then the fenix pd36r? I have the pd36r and I love it but in 4 days olight is going to have a badass deal on this orange olight and the olight baton pro max as a bundle deal and I'm thinking about getting them.. also does the new warrior s have a better flood then the pd36r?
I’m liking that light a lot! I also see the Yaesu FTD5. How’s that radio working for you? I’d love to see some Ham radio videos. Do you work HF at all?
I think I heard a kydex type holster for your flashlight in your hip?? What do you use to carry them in? On your person??
Love mine too! Glad you made a video about it
The trunite tn12 pro does everything this one can at half the price
Did not expect such an in depth review tbh!
What made you go with this over the baton 3 or x3 or seeker 3
What would you think is better all round. The warrior 3s or the seeker pro 3. I’m used to an adjustable focus. So I’m concerned the warrior won’t flood much and the seeker not great for spotting.
Thank you for your excellent review, sir!
Switch long lasting? Common problem.
Hey, what you think about T. TN 12 Pro?
Try a nitecore p20ix 4k lumens
What are you using for a holster for the warrior 3?
Is the protective lens glass or some type of plastic?
Excellent review bud,enjoyed it very much. Thanks
thanks for the info, i like the bezel it is a protection item.
Is the strike bezel actually aggressive enough on this ?
Damned hippies!
Great review! I ordered one!…🔥🔥🔥
I personally really dislike having a sensor (point of failure) in a flashlight.
My first Olight was the baton 3 pro. Two months after purchase it failed due to that sensor. It caused it to auto dim it in every setting regardless of what I did.
I just recently ordered the warrior 3s ONLY BECAUSE YOU CAN DISABLE THE SENSOR if it fails.
Adding points of failure to a edc tool is just not logical to me personally. And the fact you can disable the sensor on this W3S is the only reason I’m giving Olight a second chance. Would prefer them just put a tough enough lense on it so it wouldn’t melt. Cause we all know that’s the real reason the sensor is there
Can you indeed turn off the sensor??? Olight email says you can't. If you can please please please let me know. It's only thing keeping me from buying it. Thanks a ton
@@nickpetersen6406 I don’t think you can on this specific unit unless you took it apart and removed it or cut the wires to it possibly? Idk.
I have sense swapped to the baton 3 1200lumens and a baton 3 pro max 2500 lumens because the 3 dosnt have the sensor and the 3 pro max you can turn it off.
Really hate the sensor a lot personally
That's unfortunate... I got the baton 3 pro yesterday, I need a tail switch for my application thought I would try the botton 3 pro. It's OK but not for the price. Thanks for the reply. Truly means alot and saved me a massive waste of time.
Is the battery proprietary?
I ordered the scarlet red 😎
What holster were you using
best review I've seen yet review more please
Hi I'm really considering this light. But I was wondering about the 2.5 minute runtime on turbo... is that 2.5 min a step down and you can use the turbo again eventually after cooling? Or once used on turbo for 2.5 min the turbo is completely useless?
Turbo mode will still be available provided the battery is over 75% charged. Below this value, the voltage will be too "low" and the Turbo disappears.
An excellent flashlight provided you recharge it with each use, in fact. The Warrior 3 has the same UI too.
@@ludoA.K.A thank u.
I would really really like an orange Margaret 2
excellent light
Can I use that flashlight to burn something
He answered that in the video!
@@Gieszkanne it's a simple yes or no
@@popeye1313 Its a simple "watch the video and listen"
Would be nice if olight would consider C.R.I. Color rendering index... after all the quality of the light should represent the quality of the flashlight.. this brand has excellent builds with pathetic cri.
Their is more to light than cool white vs. Neutral white...
The light reflected back to the eyes SHOULD be accurate for plus $100.oo pocket lights.
They're still value based compared to MANY other brands. Demanding minutia for the same price point is probably futile. I've been running Olights on several of my weapons for years and they've been money
