Huge thanks for this comparison video, awesome!!! I was considering to upgrade my Javelot Mini to this new Javelot, thanks to you I will keep the Mini ^^
I really liked your review. I liked it so much I just ordered the “green” one from B and H photo for $89.95. A much better price than Amazon ($15.00 less). Thanks again your review really helped in making my purchase decision .
I do pest control and most of my inspections are during the day and my biggest problem is 2nd or 3rd story eaves. Nobody tests flashlights in daylight conditions. I’m still on the fence if jacelot is worth needing for this vs my coast. Also why hasn’t Olight made an adjustable flashlight yet? You either get beam or spotlight. I would instantly buy the seeker pro 4 if it had a focus beam adjustment
Imo, this Javelot is a massive improvement over the mini. This flashlight has been next to my porch door here on the farm since the day I got it. Tons of throw for its size. Good review as per usual 🙌
Hello, I have a question. I'm now getting to know all the different flashlight options, I didn't imagine there were so many brands, I preferred to buy a North American brand, but when I saw that both Streamlight and Surefire make flashlights that don't seem to innovate as much and aren't extremely modest in terms of lumens and candelas I'm interested in Chinese brands. Like everyone else, I like to buy products that last a long time, in your experience which brands last the longest without showing defects? Which flashlights from which brands have you used for years and have not failed.
I know I am atypical , but I use moonlight more than any other mode on all of my lights except my wheelchair bag lights. I spend most of my time in my cave, with the lights low, and use my lights to spot light things in here I am trying to find. or moving around the house when everyone else is asleep. so I really like how many lights Olight has been putting a moonlight mode on. .5lm is more than enough to move around the house with out disturbing others. thanks for a good overview of both lights.
For what it's worth, i always appreciate seeing the heat numbers. I hate lights that are bright, but get too hot to be useful after 10 seconds of being on. Good video as always! Also: a comparison to the Warrior X4 would be cool. I feel like they are pretty similar (smallish 21700 throwers).
There’s a few reasons I didn’t do the heat test. The main reason is I was cramming a few videos in a day and was trying to edit 4 of them all within a couple days. All because I’m working 6 days a week on a job til the end of March and needed to slim down the video some. I’ll still do the heat test
Usually modern LEDs have a green tint to them on low settings. What I’ve noticed is that the cool white LEDs are most likely to have a green tint over something with a warmer color temp that has a higher CRI
My impression is that it is more narrow and throw slightly longer than the Marauder mini but way greener in tint. That is from memory though as I gave my Javelot away. The 3S is on the way other part of the spectrum: wide floody beam with not much throw at all.
Hi ! thanks for the vid. What is your opinion between the Olight Javelot and the Klarus XT12GT Pro ? You already made a video about the Klarus but I'm curious what do think about this two.? Thanks for this comparision !
Scusate, qualcuno sa spiegarmi perché la torcia javelot ha tantissime candele e pochi lumen? Quale bisogna considerare per capire la potenza di illuminazione? Candela o lumen? Graziee 🙏🏻
For long range lights, need to find a open area with an object or tree line at 500 yards to really see what they are capable of. Very useful info if you plan on mounting on a good rifle and know how to use it.
The Javelot Mini does NOT take an 18650, it's an 18500; which has considerably less run time (like 41% less mAh) than an 18650 (3500 mAh vs 2040). This was the reason, primarily, I chose the Javelot (5000 mAh 21700 cell) over the Javelot Mini.
I’m sure it is! But since I don’t have a bunch of cars available where I’m free to just go around and break the glass, I’m going to pass on this request. I’m sure those other channels would love to have your view though👍🏻
CHRISpy Things !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GOOD Review! 👍 I have the Mini, and not sure if I will pick this up. I’m liking the new color of the Warrior 3s, but having 3 of that model already, will probably pass? Take care Be safe!
I have a layman's question, in every video I see the person shows the flashlight charging cable, where it connects to the flashlight and they never show where the other end goes. Do I still have to buy a charger in addition to the flashlight? If I have to buy it, is it a proprietary charger from the company or can it be used by anyone?
The other (non proprietary) end is a traditional USB-A. Fortunately it is compatible with multiple electronics and automotive ports. Hope that helps 😊 🍻
Tripple click the side switch. But I don't think you can "program" it to have strobe on the tailswitch like the Warrior series though. Which is a shame 😕

Just got my Javelot yesterday. The moonlight mode will save to memory.

I keep a few lights by the back door on the farm too, we have coyotes like crazy so I pop one when I can 🤙

comparison to the fryer would be good as well.
A lot of people mention that olights have a lil green tint to their lights but I can’t really tell on the beamshots on video
Usually modern LEDs have a green tint to them on low settings.
What I’ve noticed is that the cool white LEDs are most likely to have a green tint over something with a warmer color temp that has a higher CRI
How the beam compare to the Marauder Mini in beam mode or the Warrior3S ?
My impression is that it is more narrow and throw slightly longer than the Marauder mini but way greener in tint. That is from memory though as I gave my Javelot away. The 3S is on the way other part of the spectrum: wide floody beam with not much throw at all.
Do any olight torch have a zoom function???
Mechanical? I don’t think so. The closest thing would be the Marauder Mini that has a toggle switch to go from spot to flood.
@ChrispyThings thanks for letting me know!I collect a few olight torchs but I'm disappointed that they don't have zoom 👍

Sure. But I don’t have that available.
So I’m going to continue demonstrating in this area

How about showing how good the bezel holds up breaking some auto glass? I’ve seen some do on reviews, useful info!
I’m sure it is!
But since I don’t have a bunch of cars available where I’m free to just go around and break the glass, I’m going to pass on this request.
I’m sure those other channels would love to have your view though👍🏻
@@ChrispyThings isn’t there a used car dealership that pissed off someone you know? Lol!
Man talk about blinding Bigfoot😊
🤣
Much appreciated.

Great review I’ll keep the mini honestly both are great but if you have the mini it doesn’t look like it’s totally worth an “upgrade”
Still worth the upgrade... 5000 mah, moonlight.....
I wish the mini came with the 18650 battery!!!!! I already have that one lol and the warrior x4
JAVELOT MOONLIGHT Run Time?🙂
Thanks in Advance,
The javelot has strobe...triple press.
@@66marbor Ohhh THANK You 🙂
@chevypowertogo-9070 - The specs for the Javelot claims it has a 72 day runtime in moonlight mode.
compared to my led Lenser P7R 1000lum its not much brighter just hot spot ,this olight good run time
Super
Hire is this not for everyday? If you need a thrower?? It's this or a Mini
For me…not EDC.
For you, apparently EDC.
My videos are just my opinion as all reviews are. Watch them and make up your own mind. 👍🏻
No strobe????
It has a strobe.
Tripple click the side switch. But I don't think you can "program" it to have strobe on the tailswitch like the Warrior series though. Which is a shame 😕
@@Aerox90you can program it momentary only at tail switch...
This light have 2 programable mode.... "Daily" & "tactical"...
A very good, highly reliable, and nice-looking 650 lumens flashlight...
The Javelin (not the mini) is the light I would buy...
Ausome light...but thkse little buttons are horrible especially in the winter with gloves.
Hi again
Does the tail switch UI toggle like the Warrior series of lights also?
2 programable mode...
Tactical is turbo & strobe at tailswitch but in momentary only....
