I just purchased one of these during the Black Friday sale and received it today. I’m headed to my ranch tomorrow to do some work, and am taking it with me. It’s extremely dark where I’m going and it’s far away from civilization. This should be some fun testing! Thanks for the review and instructions on the features!
@@ExelArts it’s an awesome light. My truck headlights aren’t even as bright as this light. The cows hate it and I feel bad for them, but so the the coyotes. Its awesome though! I would buy it again.
I took delivery of my Marauder 2 yesterday , put it on charge and waited for nightfall. It reminded me of the scene in Dirty Harry where Clint Eastwood chases Scorpio on to the dark football field and then Fatso turns on the floodlights. This torch is awesome and looks great too. As for the square focus beam , i like it , it is much better than it comes across on the videos.
I looked at possibly buying this but found the Marauder Mini instead. For me 7000 Lumens is plenty light for around where I live. I have the Imalant 100,000 lumen flashlight and it's way too much Lumens as well as bulky. I was looking for a pocket or small size flashlight that had both spot and flood yet not overkill and Olight came through. Not saying to not buy the Marauder 2 but consider what you will use it for and if you want a mid size bulky flashlight. My only dislike about Olight is they send you very short magnetic charging cables. My Mini came in today so I am waiting for it to get dark and play around with it.
They may be better output but i hear some bad stories about them. They’re annoying with the fan and very dangerous. Olight and other brands but safety, UI, and innovation first and i think that is better tbh.
I was sold until I saw the square spotlight. Recently purchased the Marauder mini and really have enjoyed it. Olight has baffled me on as why they would do this.
Great review! Thanks but of all you tested, what flashlight would you recommend with a great combo of throw and flood about 5 to 10,000 lumens and with long runtime on turbo mode? :)

Just ordered the bundle with their new survival pen with light...had to get it since i have the bigger brother already the XR9 25000lm love the technical features. Liked Your review.
This should come with a better holder/holster, a HARD CASE like some lesser Olights do and an upgraded warranty.. Especially with that "special internal" special proprietary battery.
That square on spot it terrible always thought if it was a square it was a cheap light. I will pass on this olight. Glad that I saw this review before I pulled the plug. Flood however looks amazing. Great review on your part though. Have a great day
Wow !!!! hear something in the brushes and blind it while you see it at the same time. Then be night blind for a long time till your eyes readjust to the dark.
as a owner of Marauder x7 (not x7R) I can't justify the price and i can't justify the spec besides it having cool spotlight feature. I did thorough comparison and the battery lasts on depending on similar lumens it's barely1.2 to 1.1x times longer than my x7 so basically Marauder 2 is not that much a big improvement.. Having said that.. I do wished they made the size bigger (i don't really care about the form factor and portability if i'm carrying these style of flashlights) so that instead of three 5000mah lithium cells, but four or five 5000mah cells so its like 20000mah ~ 25000mah cells making it almost 2~2.5X times longer duration that old predecessors . just my 2 cents..
@@kentsurvivalgearreview586 okay great. Think I prefer the smaller one you have for weight, also don’t tend to need to much power on the head torch. Will have a think and purchase tonight in the sale. I don’t fancy strapping this marauder to my head though 😂
@@thebikepackingadventurer It feels good. Heavier than a lot of head torches, but a lot brighter and tougher. It really depends what you are using it for. If it's for long distance hiking, maybe look elsewhere. But for camping, it's great.
Obviously this is a "Search & Rescue" light. For people with boats or work on a boat. Helicopter S&R....not for the average "flashlight nerd" :)) ...LOL!! Has a lanyard ..as if any one is going to have it hanging from their hip. :))
Certain molecules in one layer of the cuticle, the tough but somewhat flexible part of a scorpion's exoskeleton, absorb the longer wavelengths of ultraviolet light and emit it in different wavelengths that are visible at night as a blue-green glow.
Well may be not after it's been on turbo for any length of time but with it's fetchers I'm considering it a forty five watt hour power bank having a very powerful beacon .
The cable is quite long, and you'd probably carry a "portable one".. along with that BEAST of a floodlight you mean? :D I think the cable's the least of your worries as far as carrying size goes ;) It is an absolute beast, I'd probably look into one if I was able to make it into the forest at night at all, in most of the forests around me it's not even legal to enter between sunset and sunrise, so I think my few smaller lights (still like 200 meter range on my main one) will do just fine for now. :)
For the price I was disappointed. Beam wasn’t as powerful as described especially when on the water especially looking reflective buoys and flood wasn’t as impressive on the videos. There must be other flashlights with the same performance for much cheaper
Its not all about the lumens , i looked at the equivelent Fenix lights and they are so bright that the washout is like looking at the Sun and is just plain uncomfortable.

how much time you get with max power on ?
I'm impressed with OLIGHT. A 'search and rescue' torch is just what I need.
Thanks Boss top Video just put an order in from Amazon for the Olight mini it’s in sales for £140 Thanks for the video in-depth of the product 👍🏼
I have no need for this but will buy it anyway 😂😂

i got limited edition in orange and came with a pelican case and also we have the same phone.
Yeah! Stargate reference ❤️👍🏼
Hey i like the look of it but why is the spotlight a square shape when the lights on instead of a circle?.
Just asking as I've never seen that before.
I have one, I think the spot beam goes through an aspherical lens so it basically projects the light in the form of the square led chip.
Olight may not compete with imalent or acebeam in output, but their interface is the best as well as the design!
Are the two brands you mentioned much better? I’m in the market looking for a really bright flashlight
@@user-cz1go9pi9w Yes, both imalent and acebeam specializes in high output - imalent is cheaper though
They may be better output but i hear some bad stories about them. They’re annoying with the fan and very dangerous. Olight and other brands but safety, UI, and innovation first and i think that is better tbh.
@@user-cz1go9pi9w Imalent has the world's brightest flashlight at 100k lumens.

I believe that you would need a certain practical need to use this light. But it is interesting thanks Andy
for sure Clara, its a beast haha
@Stephen Ritger Murica, yet made in China lmfao
@@jerryleslie1358 The chinese has made about everything since the 80s. I think they got it now.
River boat fishing at night
Looks a good light, but too pricey for my Christmas list....
Can you tell me how long it runs at 14000 lumens before the power ramps down
Great light for ghost hunting
Great review! Thanks but of all you tested, what flashlight would you recommend with a great combo of throw and flood about 5 to 10,000 lumens and with long runtime on turbo mode? :)
I'm about to buy one for the flash sale, I want to know is the lense made out of plastic? is there a chance of it melting on turbo?
just looked on Amazon £330 I've just picked myself up of the floor
Love the review and your delivery, a bit of humor is always a great hook.

Cheers, nice to have new toys :)
Why didn’t you wait for the Black Friday sale
What do you think after a year?!
a really great Olight. I will still buy this one 😉
Eddy Farm Family sent me!!! Keep up the good work and having very well made products! ✌👏👏👏
That would be a fab giveaway Andy !!!! Looks a nice piece of kit but at that price it should be pal !
there are owls shouting, OMG aliens!
It can Only stay on brightest mode for a short time. Is it worth the big price. .....
Quick question is the light a yellowish light or cool white because from the video it kinda looks yellow but it my just be the camera
Its weird it doesnt come with a holster. I have the baldr, which is a quarter the price and it still came with one
Everything is great except for that square spotlight. I would prefer a circlular one.
*I want the Imalent but not paying $350 or even over a $100 for a flashlight or any lighting product*
Great dog walking torch
Super Vorstellung !!!
Olight should come out with a attachable frying pan so you can cook from the heat of the flashlight. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
This should come with a better holder/holster, a HARD CASE like some lesser Olights do and an upgraded warranty.. Especially with that "special internal" special proprietary battery.
Hi I’m looking at tk lights are olight better make or fenix
is ipx8 100 meters water proof that what dive torches say??
You guys have scorpions in the UK??
Wow awesome bit of kit
Like the review. Thought it was American before you spoke and then I heard Dartford bridge which is near me lol
I need a flashlight like that
I don’t do search and rescue etc but I know that I want it 😀
Christ, you could light up the space station with that baby. Not really for stealth camping 🤔😂
Lmao
Good review, thanks!
whats the time you get with max power on ?
Uh Oh, the link in the description does not work anymore.
Can it do both flood and spot at the same time like the comparable Fenix LR40R?
no, its one or the other on this
you should try to compare this on Imalent MS06
Nah, they paid him to not do that
why??
Mate your affiliate link isn't work. Need to change the link.
How MUCH?
Wowsers.
Looks superb but tad pricey for me.
Very good.but where that.now im in canada.i want your shop near here
That square on spot it terrible always thought if it was a square it was a cheap light. I will pass on this olight. Glad that I saw this review before I pulled the plug. Flood however looks amazing. Great review on your part though. Have a great day
Its on my list

Olight marauder 2 vs astrolux mf01s
Astrolux has better UI, better mix of flood and throw and it is cheaper. 👍
@@timen7926 Thanks
Too much zooming in
Excelente 👏👏👏👏
Is this light available in a head lamp
You strap this thing to your head and your gonna need neck surgery fairly soon after......its heavy.
Wow !!!! hear something in the brushes and blind it while you see it at the same time. Then be night blind for a long time till your eyes readjust to the dark.
I don't need this but I want it
Same here, and I ordered one! It's okay to buy something just because you want it!🙂
a chinese with 260 rom. leis [1 dollar=4,5 rom, leis] is better focusing + mostly makes the flood as the same
what is the mains volts?

Out of interest Andy, which olight head torch do you have?
Hi nathan, the H1R olight but they have replaced it with the very similar one that now has velcro. the perun is a bit more powerful.
I have the Perun, great head torch.

It's a lovely torch Andy. I have a few O lights here and they are great torches. That particular torch is just too much for me though:)
haha, it is a bit OTT for most tasks. good for finding your keys though ;)

Compare this to the Imalent MS03
How do I order a flashlight?
Fenix all the way
Debating on this thing. Steep price lol, but it has a couple of purposes at least. I hope you don't feel violated by handling it too much 😆
9:25 OMG THAT LOOKS SO WEIRD 😂
Hmmmm it’s bright but not worthy of the price if you ask me. But who am I 🤷♂️
I really love your little side channel! But. please, keep it short, that was one of the features I liked most (for this, not the main channel)
cheers Stan, yeah it just got a bit longer than planned with playing around haha, had fun though :p
Didn’t I read somewhere TH-cam algorithms rank videos better if they are over 10 minutes?
@@kentsurvivalgearreview586 keep them long, if you prefer. I, and many others, like longer videos.

Kindly let you know that we are the US office for Olight, which is based out of China
A flashlight with a sphincter.
Great torch and some good black Friday deals olight shop from 8pm tonight 😉
Great torch....even greater (sic) price!! Good review Andy but way too expensive for me.
Am so jealous if you can keep that beauty. I have the mk 1 x7 but find it hard to justify that lovely torch. Best wishes from Northern Ireland.
Obviously this is a "Search & Rescue" light. For people with boats or work on a boat. Helicopter S&R....not for the average "flashlight nerd" :)) ...LOL!! Has a lanyard ..as if any one is going to have it hanging from their hip. :))

Why do scorpions glow in UV???
Certain molecules in one layer of the cuticle, the tough but somewhat flexible part of a scorpion's exoskeleton, absorb the longer wavelengths of ultraviolet light and emit it in different wavelengths that are visible at night as a blue-green glow.
@@Shadow_Wraith Thanks

Excellent review Andy 👍. You could land aircraft with that thing 😀, or be picked up by Aliens 👽 😜🤪
That's a cool light,but sofirn has better lights for far cheaper
Scorpions here in UK....??? 😱

I guess we need to be there - as the video of the torch output wasn't that impressive...
"You could have a concert..." Let me guess, a "rock" concert? :-p
haha very good sir :p
I like it
COOL
Well may be not after it's been on turbo for any length of time but with it's fetchers I'm considering it a forty five watt hour power bank having a very powerful beacon .
Thanks for not telling us if it’s a usb c cable 👎

kinda low lumens on that marauder when acebeams x80 does double that....
X80 does double that, but only for less than 60 seconds before stepping down to a petty 4000 lumens. You like things that doesn’t last long do you?
Its not all about the lumens , i looked at the equivelent Fenix lights and they are so bright that the washout is like looking at the Sun and is just plain uncomfortable.
£329 on Amazon wow.
