I was able to deter two criminals from breaking into my neighbous' car with my loved Olight M3XS-UT Javelot. One of the guy used his cell-phone LED to light up the inside of the car (looking for things to steal)... so I have decided to "help" him with the lighting and Ifired up the car and those gentlmen with my M3XS! Guys... they were running like crazy chickens :. M3XS-UT ... always on my window shelf ! Really great criminal deterrent !! Sootch recognize that too.
Sootch00 , Thank you for putting so much effort into this review, it really shows the time and thought. It helped me in deciding to pick one up. My first time commenting, but a viewer for years now! Your great, THANKS!
Nice video, I was going to start suggesting better throwers and then realized this video is over 4 years old. Crazy to see how far things have come. Although these are still nice lights of course.
Love your light videos. My best light is a little 8 dollar one from Walmart with 200 lumans and it suits what I need. All I have to say is your neighbors must hate you shining all those lights in your neighborhood lol
i bought the m2x javelot off of another youtubers suggestion when looking for a thrower. couple things about it: all of my lights are cool white, except for the m2x javelot which is a warmer yellow tint. its really nice on the eyes. i bought mine from amazon with an extension tube so i can run a 1 or 2 18650's, as well as 2 to 4 cr123a's. i usually keep the extension on it with the cigar ring removed so essentially the m3x extended setup. mine came with the olight 3400 mah 10amp batteries and theyre great for runtime. i havent actually tested how long on high the light will last with 2 of them in, but if you carry it in single 18650 mode you should be able to get an hour out of each. if you vape you might have something like sony vtc which will have less mah but a higher amp output like 30+ instead of 10amp like the olight 3400 or panasonic ncr18650's. i think the trade off for this is the light will stay brighter for longer before dimming but you wont have as long of a runtime. the olight batteries are button top which is very nice. some of my 18650's are flat top and dont always make a connection when trying to run 2 18650's. with a single 18650 flat top battery it is no problem. this light shines really far, comes with a very nice case, and a holster. you should be pretty happy if youre looking for this type of light. i wanted a surefire m3lt, but was also lookinh at a crelant 7g5cs, olight m3x triton, one of the bigger heads from solarforce, and a few other throwers and am happy i went with the olight. the extension tube is really nice to have since i have the ability to run 2-4 batteries. great for the house, walking, woods, or bag. keep a surefire and some cr123a's with you as well if worried about durability, but these olights have great capability! sorry, didnt mean to write an essay
20 min to arrive at a emergency ? In Germany the firedepardment is only allowed to be there in 10 min, if they need longer and something critical happens there will be an investigation to check why it took so long
The investigation won't help you afterwards, though... In the USA it is not possible to require from their Law enforcement or fire departments to be anywhere in just 10 minutes. The USA is much bigger country with a lot of low populated areas than Germany.
Justin Lackey surefire e2d! i got one on sale at midway for 150 and i still cant believe i paid that much. the 500 lumens it puts out is a really nice white. it has a tight hotspot and it throws well. the size and pocket clip are GREAT. its a beautiful looking flashlight at that. not really floody but its durable. can use rechargeables so you'd have to stock up on cr123a's which isnt cheap. ive got the m2x javelot and a bunch of fenix, solarforce, streamlight, thrunite, surefire, olight, nitecore, zebralight blah blah that were cheaper and may be brighter or not but the surefire e2d is my favorite handheld. elzetta is supposed to be really nice as well if you only want 1 light. i also have a surefire x300 ultra. recently they were on sale for 189 from midway and primary arms. you could get a bunch of different wml's for those prices but im really happy with it and had a holster made so i can edc it on a g19 or 1911 commander. i had about 6 streamlight tlr-1's and an inforce wml. trying to sell them all now because i dont need them anymore. tlr-1hl is a good look too for quite a bit less
Hey SensiblePrepper / ***** Tips for young preppers who do t necessarily have backing from the rest of their family? (they arent against it just cant help) P.S. Is practicing bug out at night a good idea?
Just found some favorable price on amazon.They include the batteries.Also have the hunting sets,nice! M23:www.amazon.com/dp/B0119JMR6A M3XS:www.amazon.com/dp/B00YP2JUIM
tactical fences too... you have a great garden don, bought the m3sx-ut off the back of this video, but they cost £170 here in uk but worth every damned penny, olight are probably the premium manufacturer now especialy for the money... nobody buys the surefire brand here as its just waaaaay overpriced for what you get
My was in use for 4 years, and still works after much abuse. Rain, dirt, shocks, and poor maintenance didn't bust it. Even the first battery I had, was protected against discharge, which happened, when I didn't know how to handle Li-ion ones. What happened to yours?
Duane Thumudo nah, just high, med, low, and strobe. cant change the zoom/focus. theres a pretty beefy duracell that puts out 1000 lumens at costco for 20 bucks and runs on c batteries that does that though
Have you seen the New Klarus XT12GT 1 x 18650 / 2 x CR123A CREE XPH35 HI D4 1600 Lumen LED Flashlight goinggear.com/flashlights/flashlights/klarus-xt12gt-1-x-18650-2-x-cr123a-cree-xph35-hi-d4-1600-lumen-led-flashlight.html OR The New Klarus XT11GT 2000 Lumen 1 x 18650 CREE XHP35 HD E4 LED Flashlight (1 Klarus 3100 mAh 18650 Included) goinggear.com/flashlights/flashlights/klarus-xt11gt-2000-lumen-1-x-18650-cree-xhp35-hd-e4-led-flashlight-1-klarus-3100-mah-18650-included.html and your thoughts I personaly think the XT12GT probably better with that said I have not tried either One, a friend of mine loves the XT11GT
Grand Crusader Well, that's apparently outdated info. Btw, Nutnfancy recently said that he hasn't kept up with flashlight development and just now took stock of newer EDC lights.

After purchasing a few different models and using, nothing but Olight. Best wishes from Northern Ireland.

It's been awhile since you've uploaded. I really enjoy your videos man. They're entertaining and VERY informative.
MeisterSexy11 Thanks Brother!
+sootch00 anytime friend, keep it up.
me too you are awsome
+sootch00 👍
I have 2 OLights and hands down the best out there. I could not be happier with them.
Steady quality stuff, thank you for this one. I am in the market for a ultra thrower and this video helped me out. Thank you.
Great intro!, I love seeing what these things look like when in use, especially in a cinematic fashion.
Only Sootch00 can handle three flashlights at once!!!
Those are some fantastic lights. It seems like lights are just getting brighter and better made. Thanks for a great review
I also appreciate your videos. There's always something interesting to learn. I have accumulated a lot of knowledge from you. Thank you.
Love your light videos. My best light is a little 8 dollar one from Walmart with 200 lumans and it suits what I need. All I have to say is your neighbors must hate you shining all those lights in your neighborhood lol
was looking for a quality spotlight - thanks!

Those are some beefy flashlights! Thanks for the informative video and all the night footage.
Sean Miller No doubt.
I've been looking at Olight torches for a while now. I fancied getting me the Intimidator.
Great review. Bet some of those drivers on the freeway were wondering WTF! 😊
20 min to arrive at a emergency ?
In Germany the firedepardment is only allowed to be there in 10 min, if they need longer and something critical happens there will be an investigation to check why it took so long

Definitely awesome for long distance. If you could only have one all around light for your house/vehicle what would you choose?
Justin Lackey surefire e2d! i got one on sale at midway for 150 and i still cant believe i paid that much. the 500 lumens it puts out is a really nice white. it has a tight hotspot and it throws well. the size and pocket clip are GREAT. its a beautiful looking flashlight at that. not really floody but its durable.
can use rechargeables so you'd have to stock up on cr123a's which isnt cheap. ive got the m2x javelot and a bunch of fenix, solarforce, streamlight, thrunite, surefire, olight, nitecore, zebralight blah blah that were cheaper and may be brighter or not but the surefire e2d is my favorite handheld. elzetta is supposed to be really nice as well if you only want 1 light.
i also have a surefire x300 ultra. recently they were on sale for 189 from midway and primary arms. you could get a bunch of different wml's for those prices but im really happy with it and had a holster made so i can edc it on a g19 or 1911 commander. i had about 6 streamlight tlr-1's and an inforce wml. trying to sell them all now because i dont need them anymore. tlr-1hl is a good look too for quite a bit less
The spider was the best selling point you made.
Great Review! Thank you!
Damn that was so bright that they must put that on ufo's
Another good flashlight video.
I believe that EDC here means Every Day Carry. Correct me if i'm wrong.
+QUABLEDISTOCFICKLEPO Yes
YES
Neat light. Thank you.
Hey SensiblePrepper / *****
Tips for young preppers who do t necessarily have backing from the rest of their family? (they arent against it just cant help)
P.S. Is practicing bug out at night a good idea?
Just found some favorable price on amazon.They include the batteries.Also have the hunting sets,nice!
M23:www.amazon.com/dp/B0119JMR6A
M3XS:www.amazon.com/dp/B00YP2JUIM
I'll pardon your French if you keep on making great videos!
Battery sleeve ... Does this mean that it takes 26650 without the sleeve?
is the m23 436 or 470 metres? ive seen both posted in specs pages
How would the m23 be mounted on an AR-15 for hunting predators at night??
Sixgunning.com o light sells a mount.
Are there night binoculars that can be used with these lights.
can you do a review on the sheath's thank you and great video by the way
Would the Olight Javelot M-23 be a good light to mount an AR? If not, what would you suggest? thanks. Ridgerunner.
Where's the store in Smyrna? I'd love to check it out.
It's in Marietta
hi, for m3 2x 18650 batteries increase the lumen or only increase the run time?
Run time usually
tactical fences too... you have a great garden don, bought the m3sx-ut off the back of this video, but they cost £170 here in uk but worth every damned penny, olight are probably the premium manufacturer now especialy for the money... nobody buys the surefire brand here as its just waaaaay overpriced for what you get

Great vid
A crenelated bezel flashlight for self defense over pepper spray or a taser... interesting.
This or klarus xt32 for 80bucks?
cool video bro
SIPER EXCELENTE 👍🏻
La ce preț
But what light systems do you mout? On a AR15
Everyone knows it not an ar15 you need to worry about its the AR14 walking around killing everyone! lol
Just saying my m2x stopped working after 6 months of use
My was in use for 4 years, and still works after much abuse. Rain, dirt, shocks, and poor maintenance didn't bust it. Even the first battery I had, was protected against discharge, which happened, when I didn't know how to handle Li-ion ones. What happened to yours?
Are those beams adjustable on those lights?
Duane Thumudo nah, just high, med, low, and strobe. cant change the zoom/focus. theres a pretty beefy duracell that puts out 1000 lumens at costco for 20 bucks and runs on c batteries that does that though
+jacob manalang cool thanks.
How much lumens
amir diba 1024 lumens on the M23 and M2X. 1200 on the M3X-S
Side note: These flash lights do NOT come with batteries, big disappointment.
My brothers Surefire G2 has a better throw and wider.

No hand held light has a 1000m range. Even your boy Nutn knows this.
Grand Crusader Well, that's apparently outdated info. Btw, Nutnfancy recently said that he hasn't kept up with flashlight development and just now took stock of newer EDC lights.
time to upgrade from maglite
Any "high perf" flashlight still using the 18650 batteries are OBSOLETE and poorly under powered and poorly designed.
What should they be using?
18650 are the current pinnacle of batteries. That's why Tesla uses them in their cars. Pretty much all laptops use them as well.
