I love my Olights and other flashlights. However, I have to admit that it is refreshing to use my Duracell and Ryobi USB LED flashlights due to the simple operation. I don't have to memorize some NSA crypto codes to get to the modes that I want. While it's not rocket science, I find that it becomes an issue when you were in an adrenaline-filled situation and need a certain mode quickly. I was exploring a cave in Aruba and trying to keep track of a bat that was dive bombing me. Frustratingly, I kept ending up in moonlight mode with my baton. Thanks for the great reviews!
I like mine hd01 other than if you shake it you can hear rhe battery rattling around. I've had 3 other people with them and it's the same all different batches times purchased. The fit and finish isnt olight but the function is all there at least decent buy.
No drop here from getting it from Amazon new. I thought maybe it's me no it's 3 others I work with said the same. Emailed support no response doesn't mean it not usable but kinda unnerving.
You can get the HD01 in UV instead of Laser too. You can have the laser and spotlight on at the same time if you want to point to something and illuminate. I really wish they moved the light strip opposite of the clip like you suggested. It is so close to perfect. It would be great to put a small UV on the side light instead of having to go to another model that drops the laser. Sooooo much cheaper than Olight though. You can get both HD01 models for less! HD50 is pretty powerful but gets too hot when used on high for me for it to be against my head. But the feature set for the price is impressive. I like the TS11 over the TS12. You can get a different barrel and choose 18650 or shorter 18630 and a bit more lumens. Lots of great lights from Wurkkos, but some are missing proper power regulation, so check reviews and descriptions for buck drivers or boosters!
@@projectpinehills The UV one is pretty new and the laser uses a MUCH bigger housing than the Arkfeld series. I think they could move the side light like you said and swap some of the LEDs for some 365nm UVs. Or go smaller laser like the Arkfeld. Such a great deal either way!
Always great reviews. Love your videos.
Thank you and thanks for watching! 👍

I’ve been in those situations too where you have to react quickly. Thanks for posting! 👍
If you tap the button 8 times it's a disco ball, if you tap it 9 times it self destructs, if you tap it 10 times the counter resets to 4
This is exactly what I was thinking. It’s a flashlight. Just give me an on/off button, and get rid of all the other nonsense.
Ha, thanks for watching! 👍

Hey MattHmm, Was that after a drop? I have not noticed that but will check. They are a good price.

That’s right, I should have mentioned that UV option. I would also like to see UV option with Laser included. Thanks for posting! 👍

Hmm Have not heard of these.
I had not either. It’s a good option. Thanks for posting! 👍
