This is great, but sometimes you gotta work on your angles. Sometimes people be talking or doin something, and it's just panned to people sittin and listening n actin restless lol
I have OKW 18650 and OKW HOG. Love both. Got the HOG as a primary light for my SWAT kit since we sometimes run with K9 and a light with a lot of throw and candela would be good for target identification (at least that was my thinking.) I got my OKW 18650 as a back up light for patrol. It quickly became my primary because it simply just out preforms my duty streamlight. It penetrates tint very well, and really helps with using light offensively. I’ll switch to my streamlight whenever I deem a situation to be “safe” so I’m not blinding citizens while interacting with them, or on vehicle searches. I have to say though, since getting the HOG OKW, I’m really thinking it would fit the roll of a primary patrol light much better. I might end up switching the lights and carrying the HOG on patrol. I’d be putting it on my carrier since I do have Mille and a thyrim switch back. I have the holster for the HOG but honestly, I don’t really like it and which they would make something a little more form fitted for it.
Interesting. Cris and I found it to be an awkward size for patrol I think if it was a little bigger size wise it fit in our sap pockets or back pocket better. So far 4 outta 5 cops we work with stopped carrying it on patrol just cuz of the small and weird size Still a good light output forsure
Do you guys have outer carriers? We are wearing outer carriers with molle where I work. I clip the HOG to the best with the thyrim switch back. I haven’t noticed any issues with comfort, although I will say I don’t think it’s super secure on the vest like that. On my SWAT gear, I ended up getting the holster you can get with it and putting that on my belt in place of a rifle mag. Works well there and haven’t had an issue with retention. I think was liking the ability to punch through tint when I said my last comment. It works really well on that aspect. On call-outs, we aren’t stopping cars all that much. I gotta say though, it works well on a k-9 track too. I think I’m just looking for an excuse to buy more lights lol
Are you guys gonna do more vids about lights. I’d love to see a hog, MCH DUTY comparison. I’m really liking the versatility the duty offers. HOG has its good thing though too lol
@@joshuacepeda3714 majority of us do not have outer vests, we're not cool enough...yet ha. sounds like it works id be worried if it will fall off when running
That’s funny, I have the complete opposite opinion. I used to have the regular PLH-V2 but lost it like 4 months ago on duty. I loved that light but my gripe with it was the same one you have with the HOG. I have no space on my belt to put a holster on it, so it would go in my front left pocket and it was hard to get to because it was so tiny. We drive ford explorers at work, the duty light they give us coincidentally sits perfectly in the door handle for easy access. The smaller modlite is too small to fit there Now with the HOG, it just goes in my sap pocket and fits perfectly, and it also fits in the door handle too. If I’m driving around hunting I can put it under my thigh too. It fits under my armpit too to keep both hands free.
I own the 18650 PLHv2 and recently got the Hog. Like my partners in the video, I didn't think the Hog was necessary when my friends let me compare the beam with my 18650 indoors. But once I saw and felt the performance difference outdoors and into vehicles, I immediately appreciated the extra concentration of light that the Hog has. It also has better battery life and clips into sap pocket since I use the Thyrm Switchback. My 18650 PLHv2 is now an off duty light.
🤔 I have the okw 18650 and okw hog and the hog is noticeably stronger at distance. I don’t think candela scales like people think it does. I use it on duty and the thing busts through tint great and is awesome at lighting up alley ways from the road.
Hell yeah I’ve been waiting for gear reviews 🔥🔥
What other gear?
This is great, but sometimes you gotta work on your angles. Sometimes people be talking or doin something, and it's just panned to people sittin and listening n actin restless lol
I would like to see a modlite with a 2 step power, just for admin reasons
1000 lumens makes it hard to read small writing
Ya a step down in light would be nice for close up work
Umbrella lighting…. Or do what I do, I carry an okw daily, and have a wurkkos ts10 for admin lighting.

@@joshuacepeda3714 we are gonna do a HOG OKW comparison and updated thoughts on the light now that we have the data from ourselves and partners.

Interesting I think we will do a few months later review. I found that stuff out after having it longer.
@@standby_official if y’all have outer carriers the Molle attachment is serviceable and keeps your belt line clear.
I wish we’re not that advanced yet
We like our uniforms to be the same since 1935
For patrol, would you guys recommend the Cloud MCH-HC or the Modlite HOG/18650 with PLH head?
Absolutely can’t go wrong with either of those setups. It’s preference outta those two
I use both on my belt - both are good- I favor the HC a little more

I like it more and more just more battery
So you guys work at a major department ?
Cris and Jay do
Are y’all close to Georgia?
not even close...were west coast based unfortunately ha
@@standby_official lol dam … well how has the HOG been for you? I have one and tbh that thing is strong af
light output is great. I still like the light alot. for me just an awkward size.@@MaximusEffort
The okw hog was also disappointing I have both heads that run the 18650 and to me they are brighter then the okw hog head but ill still f**k with it.
Dang wish I had that kinda money! Haha

I like it more and more but things can definitely be improved
I still gotta try the hog okw
Dude, don't be comparing black flashlights with your black jacket on!!
I'll wear my white suit next time
