Awesome AWESOME comparison! Most comprehensive Weltool video on TH-cam! 🤜🔥🤛 The reason for double alkaline and not 14500 for the T1pro extension tube is the voltage. Alkaline are only 1.5V while 14500 are 3.6 or 3.7 so 2 of them will fry the driver/LED.
I got my first weltool and i gotta say that the beam is a cut above the rest. It's so clean and no imperfections whatsoever. Also the spill is just brighter
I absolutely LOVE my Weltool W4 Pro. If ever there was a light that you want to throw a beam out to 3+ kilometers on binoculars, all without disturbing anyone around you, this is it. Built rock solid, dropped from the back of a moving pickup truck to the road without any issues, and is only beat in range by my Maxa Beam. I also have the T19, and their build quality is top notch. The best brand? Possibly. I'd put them right up there with Fenix, Olight, Imalent and Acebeam...
Hey Mike, that's very elaborate, thanks a lot. I've got a T19 on the way, could you tell me which Thyrm Switchback model fits onto it? Was gonna go with the T2 TAC but bit worried about it being confiscated at security checkpoints when flying internationally cuz it's entirely up to the officers' feelings even though I've flown multiple times with something gnarlier without issues (Nitecore MH27). Hope to see a glass breaker bezel someday though.
I'm going to have to look at this brand then. I've never actually looked at Weltool before but I love a good tactical-style tail switch but they just never get used on the good lights over those shallow e-switches. Interchangeability of parts is also a massive selling point for me.
I always use light with tail switch and it must be 1 mode only: turbo. That is it, no low, nothing. Just plain turbo like elzetta bones or surefire fury. If I want more modes, I use something like acebeam L19 with extra button on the side for different modes but the tail switch still operates like surefire fury, always turbo. 2 mode tail switch isn’t really working out for me.
Hey Nathan, thanks for watching mate! Yes, anything tactical will be reviewed on this channel. I will be reviewing that model in about a month. That as well as the W3Pro tac and W4PRo tac
I used to be a huge Olight fan but now I've gone over to Lumintop; I feel they offer much more for less and their flashlights don't require proprietary batteries like Olight does. For those of you starting with Lumintop, the GT3 mini is a must.😊
Big mistake. Olight has the best machining and drivers. Best aesthetics and best packaging. out of all the brands i know they have the best thermals. and on sale periods olights are very affordable. i have 4 full pelican cases with flashlights of all brands. Nothing beats Olight. as much as i love nitecore/weltool/acebeam/etc.. its not always about output but rather the whole package. For example a wurkoss ts10 pro has 1400 lumens with 3 emitters but the battery will step down and empty after 15min of real world use. it doesnt have internal charging. doesnt have a magnetic tail cap. Garbage pocket clip. 0 grip when holding it. the thermals are straight up a joke. Light gets Lava hot after 2 min on high... on the other side ytou have the olight baton 3. Magnetic tail cap+ recharging. incredible runtimes in real life use. thermals are great even after 2min on turbo. pocket clip is amazing quality. perfect machining and knurling. if you want ''budget friendly lights'' with still great real life usability go for ACEBEAM. but sofirn, convoy, lumintop etc.. the real cheap ones only have output going for them. thermals and runtimes are all garbage.
@@the_nma5119what are your thoughts on the weltool t2 tac? Flashlight crazy thinks it's the best self defense edc. I'm currently using a nitecore p12gt that has served me well.and hasn't failed me except I feel it's not powerful enough anymore. I've never heard of weltool so curious on your thoughts. I also own several olights and they have been great as you stated
@@the_nma5119just got the ts10 titanium. Love it. You don't have to blast it on turbo. Tail click with Anduril? Absolutely. High cri, oh yeah. I wouldn't trade it for that Olight, ever.
@@the_nma5119 Agree with you, but on the other hand I notice from time to time changes in quality among well known brands. It's not always about the durability or reliability, but the way of the approach or UI etc. I'm a Fenix\Olight guy, but Olight produces now strange to me models, with built-in batteries, charging cases, weird light modes, none of good 2xAA models. Fenix started to use SST emitters with green tint and without neutral white models or option to choose between the two, no high CRI at all, magnetic charges that don't match their previous model, 21700 models cannot support disposable batteries, like CR123 or 3AAA... But their E20 v2.0 is impressive, bought one. I've been watching "aliexpress brands" for almost 10 years already, Lumintop, Convoy, Sofirn, Wurrkos... and I bought only 1 Lumintop EDC01, an ordinary good little light, nothing bad I can say about it. As for the others - I don't know, I see that they have developed a lot since years ago, have tons of options. Anyway, in LED lights it's more important to have a good thermal protection and effective driver, also good UI without "quick triple press from submode while on". There can be often seen in the web that old Fenix\ Olight\Nitecore lights are still in good condition and works well. The same with USA brands like Maglite\Surefire. It's always interesting to know whether Convoy\Sofirn last for as long as top brands and are the top brands still as good as long before? :)
Not really. The closest to the P23i would be the Weltool T2TAC or T8PLUS TAC. But nothing like the P35i I recommend getting the Weltool T8Plus TAC and the Weltool W3PRO TAC You will love those
I live in Brazil and I sent an email to them and they didn't respond. After that, I sent about 3 more emails and they never responded. If a company doesn't respond to sell, they've already lost me.
I'll stick with my Convoy's for pretty much every single imaginable reason. I might prefer a weltyole pocket clip though to be fair, they sound pretty good.
Hey mate, why didn’t you include in the test of best tactical flashlights that you uploaded 5 months ago a Weltool T14C, if it is dedicated flashlight for self defence with great mixture of lumens and candela? In those video 1st place was taken by Weltool T2 Tac, but from this video it is clear that T14C has bigger hotspot but less spill, when T2 Tac has smaller hotspot but more spill. So my question is which one of these is more blinding? Or are they equally blinding? What can you say? Thanks for the review! The best show up of Weltool products
Hey mate, I will have to do a Weltool T14c vs T2 TAc video one day. The problem i found with the T14c when paired against the T2 TAC is that the hotspot is actually smaller and designed for more throw. When i discovered the T14c, the T2 TAC did not exist yet. Once i found the T2 TAC i realised that it is in fact better for self defence. Now, the T14C is still a magnificent light for self defence. Larger hotspot that the T14b. But the t2 TAC seems to have purified this mix between candela and lumens. Thanks so much for watching
@@flashlightcrazy Wow mate, I really appreciate for such a detailed response! It helped a lot! Can you please tell me if it's possible to unscrew the striking bezel on the Weltool T2 Tac? Some countries in Europe has really stupid laws towards carrying something, that looks like a weapon, that’s why I’m asking. Thanks to your channel I got to know the Weltool brand) You have to become their ambassador, there are no that kind of channels on TH-cam which are creating this amount of content about Weltool. You're essentially popularizing their products.
Thanks for the feedback mate. I really love getting feedback from viewers. I think you can get the bezel off. You will need a rubber mat or something with a lot of friction and grip. Then put the light bezel towards the mat and spin it. It should come off then@@Глеб-ц6ш
@@flashlightcrazy Thank you so much for taking the time to answer me! I wish further growth of the channel, will be waiting for new videos, especially comparison of T2 Tac vs T14C))
im curious why most flashlight collectors don't buy a lot of streamlight and surefire products. in the firearms/police/military world they're the two most well respected flashlight brands.
They’re built for ruggedness/reliability/recoil durability, but don’t really do anything that flashlight collectors can’t find 10x better in another light. I genuinely don’t even think you can find a stream light that hits 50k candela or perhaps 4k lumen, while each quite common when you get into high end flashlights (and likely more compact) than any offerings from stream light. Pretty much just different needs/desires from each group.
👍Great overview of the brand Mike👌. Pity it's not a brand really known or available here. My ideal is for tail switch only lights, with maybe 3 modes, High, Medium and Low, (I'm ambivalent about strobe). USB rechargeable batteries, (battery charges outside of the light). A good blend of throw Hotspot and plenty of wide spill. Weltool looks a pretty good fit from what I can see. 😊
Did you included maybe a link in the comment? Or did you used "the words" which triggered almighty algorithm? 😅😅 I know this so well.😒 Thanks goodness they all about freedom of expression 😅😂😂😂
@@wesolowskimatt with me, just using words often trips their algorithms. The issue is, youtube is anti-God so they help their brainless anti-God side by hiding hard evidence from me. I'm fine with people believing whatever they want, but when they comment how smart they think they are that we got all this on its own naturally, I enjoy showing they are not. Anyway, it does not matter if I comment on unrelated topics, youtube has it out for me.
Not impressed !! Floodlights are more usable I am a security officer and floodlights are fare more usable in my field of work !! Thanks for your review 😊
Floods are not very useful if you're trying to see something more than 200 yards out. But maybe you don't need that capability. Also, floodier lights tend to fk up my night vision entirely.

Well that was an epic long form overview of Weltool.
It has to be when trying to cover what Weltool offers

Thanks brother! And thanks for the info about the T1 PRO. It is good for people to know that
👍A 14100 battery would work well with the extension.
Because of your 2aa video I’m getting the fénix e20. I know I’m gonna love that light.
It is sensational
I just got my W3 pro tac !!! The quality just amazing!!!
But I wonder if weltool can do more potted light to make it even more durable.
I've watched various Weltool torture tests and they ARE durable.
I believe Weltool has 1 model light thats potted, the T19 or somethint
@@danishfawaz2598
Yep, T19/LH9 is a potted light (and the torture test is pretty amazing).
Absolutely love Weltool thanks to you. Great channel, and great detailed video!
Thanks mate! They are a spectacular brand

Thanks for the comment! I agree, the W4 Pro is very special
Hey Mike, that's very elaborate, thanks a lot. I've got a T19 on the way, could you tell me which Thyrm Switchback model fits onto it?

Thyrm Switchback only fits onto the T17 (regular switchback) and the T8 (Switchback DF)
I'm going to have to look at this brand then. I've never actually looked at Weltool before but I love a good tactical-style tail switch but they just never get used on the good lights over those shallow e-switches. Interchangeability of parts is also a massive selling point for me.

2 mode tail switch isn’t really working out for me.
All good points. However, their price point leaves them out of my possible choices.
