hahaha, well, then welcome to the flashlight addicted´s called "flashies" :D ^^ i think there are so many many people like you and me and so on out there with the same "problem" of so different countries... i am from spain, living in germany for example with the same addiction hahaha ;)
Love your flashlight videos, thanks for all the work that it takes to do them. I watched this video and just placed my order for the Sr52UT. I am sure I will like it based on your review
Thanks Chris. Both of those are incredible. You think you could use one as a searchlight for Drones? Like they used those big searchlights in WW II to spot enemy bombers. What about making a shadow cutout to go in front and throwing up a " Bat Signal " on a low hanging cloud. Seriously, I think lights like those would be great to have as part of a survival kit in a life raft. Of course it could be a tragedy to have a search pilot spot my 1200 Lumen light.......fly over my life raft and then get hit in the eyes by my beam and be blinded temporarily and crash his plane into the sea. ( you would need a hand crank dynamo to charge it also ) My last GF once said to me " Bill I never know what to get you for a present " I told her that's easy......a good flashlight or a box of .45 ACP.
@PREPAREDMIND101...Hi Chris...i have seen many many videos of you with flashlights and they helped a lot to take decissions of buy or not...so many many thanks for your work and infos mate...go on this way !!!
small suggestion, show both flashlights side by side if you can tripod your camera to show off the quality difference in real time, also just to blast the area with light and show off how cool they are.
+Tou Lor If you want the light to be a self defense "weapon",putting it in the strobe mode,you prefer the 52,because of the cooler tint,as it is more dazzling to the bad guy. It is the reason I bought this light.
Short of looking through the comments but isn’t the M3XS-UT a 1000 metre thrower instead of 800 and the m2x-ut being the 800 metre thrower well 810 metres to be precise
Chris, you forgot to mention if this come with batteries? Amazon says they don't, Going Gear doesn't mention it, but they are not listed as being included. So this would make "Bob" cost more than $119.00.
Do you see a difference between Olight SR52 and the Sr52 UT says it goes 200 more meters, have you tested both side by side? Just wanting to know if you see a difference, thanks for the videos and your time.
Are you sure these aren't lasers, Chris? Because I'm fairly sure you could mount them on a drone and you'd have your own anti-ninja incendiary chopper. The R40 Seeker or this Intimidator... that's a HARD choice!
I had an R40 Seeker for about a year until somebody stole it!! Awesome light. SR52 is tempting I'll never by from another manufacturer Plight or go home
Hey brotha love the fact that the SR52UT is USB rechargeable via micro USB, also like the fact it has a long runtime and is nearly 1000 meters. Is there anything on the market comparable to this? I see the new mini Thru-night has similar specs but the Olight still seems to beat it. I'm looking for 1,000 meter throw, and micro usb or magnetic chargeable, (usb perfect) anything you know of that comes close?
I recently purchased " BOB" the SR52UT, this thing is awesome. Last night I was shining the sky looking for a fat man trying to brake into my house n steel my cookies. I received a call from NASA asking me to stop what I was doing ( shining the SR52UT up in the sky) because it was interfering with the astronauts duties on the international space station. Sorry NASA 🔦...... the emoji looks like the SR52UT 👍
I would love to know how these models compare to the new thrunite tn32 UT? I have a acebeam k40m which is a monster with big flood and long throw, a pure thrower would be cool to have. Out of the two lights in this vid, the SR52UT would be my choice, 4 hours on max... now thats seriously impressive All the best
Hey Chris, great video. I would like you opinion on the best flashlight for me. I'm searching for a flashlight with a great throw but also with a great flood. Is there any preference to a well balance flashlight. I do not know much about them but I been doing a lot of research. So if you could help, it would be most appreciated.
What if the M3XS-UT JAVELOT was only $100 instead of $150? Would that change your preference because it seems like that is what really scared you away from deciding left or right. I got my javelot brand new for $100, I figured that was an awesome deal and with the savings I can stock up on CR123 batteries maybe even a few rechargeables so I'm not burning thru my primary's constantly. But that's just my thoughts. Anything you would like to share on what has been said?
+Tenchi Arizonia I put Thrunite in the top 3 Chinese made flashlights. Their newest stuff (TN12-2015) is even better. People are way too cynical skeptical. Yeah, they do a LOT of TH-cam advertising, but do you really think EVERYONE is going to lie if they were REALLY bad flashlights? No. And they aren't.
+PREPAREDMIND101 do you have any tips for me i want to make a good bug out bag but i dont really know what bag i should use i like slingbags alot dont like the 2 straps normal backpack any tips? BTW Those are awesome
well they claim it has 100 meters but test show that its more Close to 500-800 meters depending on how Bright the beam is expected to be at that distance
@@tedtedsen269 its 1000 meters... I have tested mine... I mean its not very bright but i can clearly see whats under the trees that are 980 meters away
Ok i have it to and upgraded to nitecore tm38 and finaly my astrolux ms04 in my own test it does more than 3kmt when its dark and a white background its week but can se it through my 10x50 nikon binoculars it reaches 3kmt but very weak but it is there
Thanks for your great video review dude. I just ordered the SR52UT kit. And thanks for sharing the promo code that saved me $15!!! This is why I always watch TH-cam videos before I purchase something.
A fantastic beam ! But not very userfriendly. On off switch hard to use onehanded. When it is cold and using gloves the mode button is hard to find or feel.
don't care for rechargeable I prefer removable rechargeable batteries.if it runs outta juice I just put in a fresh set.I don't have to plug it in and wait 3 hours.but I would take one I love all flashlights and don't discriminate.just prefer replacement capability.
Ok, so I watched a flashlight video, then I bought one. Watched some more, bought another, then another. This has got to stop...
hahaha, well, then welcome to the flashlight addicted´s called "flashies" :D ^^
i think there are so many many people like you and me and so on out there
with the same "problem" of so different countries...
i am from spain, living in germany for example with the same addiction hahaha ;)
It's addicting even compared to knife collecting.
I love the way they throw light. I just picked up a fenix pd35 for only $52.

I have both flashlights, my m3xs-ut is a bit brighter and easier on the eyes due to its neutral tint while my sr52ut is more on the cool white.
+Ragesauce I'm getting this flashlight here plus.google.com/104650974773366071935/posts/A9UYXiU9LNF

"You light 'em up, BOOM, they burst into flames" - Chris
lol :)
saw replacement capability.....buying one. great video
Thanks Chris..Great info and the price is not that expensive.

they did not.
+Larry Prince I've got the SR52-UT at $100.00 ,WITH batteries.If you search,you find how.
Awesome throwers,Great review as always Mr.
the first one looks perfect for a scope attachment
Great review Chris, love the way your mind works. PEACE :-)

That light is just beast no real reason to have those flashlights other than the fact that they are just beast great review as always
I think of the M3XS-UT, M25C2, etc are best as weapon lights. I have my M3XS-UT on my AR 14.5" and my M25C2 on my AR 9.5"
Are you sure these aren't lasers, Chris? Because I'm fairly sure you could mount them on a drone and you'd have your own anti-ninja incendiary chopper.
The R40 Seeker or this Intimidator... that's a HARD choice!
R40 Seeker. SAME lumens, not as much throw though. Big ass battery and carryable. Love that light!
PREPAREDMIND101 I'll trust you on that, then :)
I had an R40 Seeker for about a year until somebody stole it!!
Awesome light.
SR52 is tempting
I'll never by from another manufacturer
Plight or go home
Max Miliano Dammit, while I desperately drool over an R40, people are getting theirs stolen. What goes, world?

awesome story mate...you made my day hahaha :D ^^
out of curiousity, are either of those water proof? im guessing "bob" isnt at least which if im correct, would be a nice feature to improve on.
+MadeMythic IPX-8 standard. Not many lights these days that aren't.
+PREPAREDMIND101 i was just wondering. the usb charging port made me question whether it was water proof or not
I would love to know how these models compare to the new thrunite tn32 UT? I have a acebeam k40m which is a monster with big flood and long throw, a pure thrower would be cool to have.

I know this is probably off topic, but I wanted to ask you, how did you make that bad ass intro with the logo ?
fiverr.com. Key thing is getting a logo first. Hellcat Design Group does mine.

Yeah... Got mine for 70€ new With Olight 3600mah batteries and a charger
When I saw conflicting levels on the M3XS, I think I might have been looking at a different light, based on my internet history.
+Tenchi Arizonia I put Thrunite in the top 3 Chinese made flashlights. Their newest stuff (TN12-2015) is even better. People are way too cynical skeptical.

What kind of 18650 batteries did you use in bob.
Jarrett Gripp I use the Olight 18650 3600 mah, they last all night👍🔦
@preparedmind101 your neighbors either hate you or love you lol
Damn 800 meters? My best lite is 414 meters. That's intense .
The M3XS-UT has a throw of 1000 meters.
well they claim it has 100 meters but test show that its more Close to 500-800 meters depending on how Bright the beam is expected to be at that distance

+preparedmind101 found it haha thank you chris keep it up and its my favorite light at the moment
now I sure wouldnt wanna be the ninja who gets hit by THAT!!!
the mx is way more tactical and usable...dead battery swap em out....not wait 2 days for them to charge and not use your light....
I'm waiting for Thrunite to create a 6500 lumen throw monster to accompany their TN36 flood light.
yaya more flashlight review's :) keeo em commen
Using flashlights are like drinking beer. When you throw some down there should be some spill...
can you do a review on the shrade viper
the out the side not otf
Looks a little beamy to me
A fantastic beam ! But not very userfriendly. On off switch hard to use
onehanded. When it is cold and using gloves the mode button is hard to
find or feel.
Christian Meland are you talking about the sr52?
The Olight M3XS-UT.
Not really that hard (i have it)
But i only use the Tail button
They're plottin'.............haha. I think he half believes it.
Fenix LD60 is brighter with a longer batter life & it weighs less! BUT, it throws half as far & no charging port.........:(
I’m just going to throw this in for shits and giggles but my maglite is 694lumens for 71hours
The M3XS-UT is kind of pricey.
+Bdogsp 001 I thought so too, especially when comparing them. But it's nicer to hold in the hand.
don't care for rechargeable I prefer removable rechargeable batteries.if it runs outta juice I just put in a fresh set.I don't have to plug it in and wait 3 hours.but I would take one I love all flashlights and don't discriminate.just prefer replacement capability.
These are good lights but my Acebeam T20 would out throw deez xD
.kinda suck
