Nice review on an interesting light! How the extension tube lines-up (or doesn't) with the main flashlight body would bug me as well, and I agree that the price seems a bit steep for just the tube. That remote sensor is really neat, I don't recall ever seeing anything like that before and I can see how that would be useful when using the light in the head-strap. I'd probably just get the light and head-strap and call it a day.
Thank you! I appreciate the kind words. Yes, especially if the price is on the higher end of the scale. Everything should line up! Head-strap and the sensor, don't want to add too much weight especially if it's being used as headlamp.
Very comprehensive review mate, thank you. Being the impulsive child (trapped in an old man's body) that I am I've ordered a couple of these and you have reassured me that I've made a good choice. Cheers mate.
Thanks! Glad I could reassure you-you’re going to have a lot of fun with them! Hope they live up to your expectations. Appreciate you watching and the kind words. Cheers!
This was a great review. I really like how you just get right into the information without a lot of extra, needless fluff. Really well done and I look forward to watching more of them.
@@eighty.2 Hi Eighty and I to want say thank you for the direct presentation! I have stopped watching so many different channels on RUclips because of all the extra fluff and stories and BS they have to talk about, definitely not necessary. You have another like and a new sub.
@@lawnmowerman2199 Hi there! Welcome to the channel-glad to have you on board! I really appreciate your support. I spend a lot of time filming and editing to keep my videos focused and fluff-free, so it's great to hear that you enjoy the direct approach. Thanks for the like and sub!
Great review. I wish more reviews would do tests that risk breaking the tool since dropping, low temps, etc. is all part of the everyday carry. Thanks for making this clip.
Thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed the review. I agree-real-world testing is key, especially for everyday carry gear where durability matters. I like to push each flashlight a bit to see how it holds up, and it's great to hear that these tests make the reviews more useful. Thanks for watching!
Thank you so much! I'm glad you found the review helpful. I try to keep things straightforward and cover as much as possible-really appreciate the kudos!
Fantastic review. The tube misalignment is a major turn off. Also, there is a 5000k version for those who do not want to attract bugs as much as the 6500k version would. Also, would like to know how comfortable the headband is for 1/2 hour or more. Any hotspots? Subbed because I like your no nonsense style.
Thanks so much! I completely agree-tube misalignment can be a letdown, but I actually got an early release, and Wuben has since updated the E7 to match the flashlight body better. Great point on the 5000K version as well! The headband has been really comfortable in my experience, with no hotspots even after extended use. Appreciate you subscribing-glad to have you here!
Looks a great light actually, I usually buy Olight but decided to get one of these too as love the design, feels like a red LED mode would also be useful as it’s similarly priced to the Oclip which is also a right angled clip light.
Glad you like the design! I’m a fan of the E7 too, especially for the price. Olight makes solid lights, but some of their products seem a bit overpriced for the output. The E7's 1800 lumens really stand out compared to the Oclip's 300, and at a lower cost. A red LED would definitely be a useful addition. If they could tweak it by swapping one of the LEDs for a red mode with a 1000-lumen max on the white, it’d be an even more perfect EDC light!
@@eighty.2 yeah the extra lumes are welcome! - i liked that Olight put the red LEDs in between the spaces of the white LEDs, like around the edges on the corners of the circles, seems this model could do something similar.
I am pretty sure if you take a tiny dab of synthetic grease, I used Permatex High Performance Synthetic Grease, and apply it to all the threads of the light unit, the extension tube and the end cap, they will all index properly with each other. Mine was like yours at first, then after I applied the grease, I could easily index them to match all flats on all three components.
Thanks for the tip! I tried using synthetic grease, but unfortunately, it didn't work on the prototype unit I have. I've heard that this issue has been addressed in the final production version, though!
@@eighty.2 well when I first assembled mine, nothing indexed and once I applied some grease, it allowed each piece to rotate just further enough to all line up.
You're welcome! I'm glad you found the review helpful. It could be a deal breaker for some. So far, the E7 has been a great flashlight for the price/output.
@@RobinhoodDelta It's about how the threads were machined. I think adding the extra "o" might compromise the flashlight's waterproofing. It's not a major issue, but it's noticeable. Perhaps they've updated the extension tube.
For combination of E7 + head strap + battery extension + 18650 battery for $45 (including shipment) do you think this set still worth ? Or theres something more worthy within that price for long use hiking ?
Which country? The E7 is great for its compact and lightweight design, making it versatile as both a flashlight and a headlamp. However, if you’re looking for something dedicated solely for long hiking trips, a proper headlamp might be more comfortable and practical. What’s your priority-versatility or a headlamp specifically for long use?
Nice review, Nice vid, I received mine today from Amazon when I turned it on I realized that it makes a noise in low mode, I was wondering if they are all like that
Thanks for watching and sharing your experience! I think you should return the flashlight, sounds like it's defective. This is another review that I did, the flashlight had this high-pitched sound when on Turbo or High. Sadly it's their entire lineup that has this issue. ruclips.net/video/OBkxpXxX8A0/видео.htmlsi=H2ZHtpfa24yzZZiY&t=490
Thanks, yes return it is what I'm going to do that's why I was asking to know if they are all like the one i received and not to order another one even though I really like the flashlight.
Totally get where you're coming from! A price around $35-$40 with everything included, especially an 18650 battery, would make it a killer deal. Everything else about the light is spot on; just a matter of pricing.
Nice reviews! And I just got same model E7 and I was expected to surface finishing is anodized but it just black painted and also paint job also not super great. 😕 how about yours? Same? Thanks
That's interesting! The magnet can be quite useful in certain situations, but I can see how some might prefer to remove it. Do you find the flashlight more convenient to use without the magnet?
@@eighty.2 I didn’t want the magnet attaching to things accidentally, like my earbuds, or my other pocket items like knife or keys. A heat gun both melted the glue holding it in and destroyed the magnetism.
Hi, there's a section dedicated to this in the video. The batteries lasted an hour and 27 minutes. You can check out the test starting at 4:11 in the video.
@@eighty.2 Great review, I just subed. I like the information you cover in the reviews. Especially the step downs. I bout this whole step up including battery, extension tube and gesture sensor for significantly less with promo code. I do however believe the current price is competitive. The biggest plus is the Gesture Sensor, unique in that it mounts to the side and you do not have to wave your hand in front and break the beam and your vision to operate.
@@TopDog8762 Thank you for the feedback and for subscribing! I'm glad you found the step down part helpful. I like the gesture sensor as well. That's great that you pointed out the breaking the beam part, I didn't think about that. I have an Olight headlamp with a sensor and come to think about it you have to break the beam to change the mode! I'm going to keep that in mind for my feature reviews.
@@eighty.2well than I didn't and still don't see the difference between low and medium. At the moment you stated low, screen is black/dark. Then when you state low to medium, I don't notice an actual difference in brightness
@@eighty.2just looked at it again, I only see 3 modes or there is no visual difference between low and medium. I count 3 modes if I count the changes in love ght strength
You can see it on the short-range test right, 25 feet and 5 feet? Whenever I'm doing editing, I watch the video a couple of times just in case I missed something, but we're all watching from difference devices so it's hard to catch it all. Thanks for the feedback, I'm going to see what I can do on my next videos to make it better. I just don't want to turn up the camera light sensitivity, making the flashlight "look" brighter than it is. I base it off what I see in real life. Have a great day!
Hi! Thanks for the comment! It's a Laser Distance Measure tool. Here's the link to the one that I'm using amzn.to/4c91BMx There are other cheaper versions. But I haven't tried them yet, so I don't know how accurate they are.

Cool review. I like this light too. Ive had mine for a few weeks. I like that it is right angle, small, magnetic rail, and bright.
Thanks for watching! It's a great little light!

wow great review, I really like that you actually test the build quality!
Thank you for appreciating the effort I put into testing the build quality!
Had mine for about 4 months and didn’t know about the turbo mode thank you!!!
Glad I could help! Now you’ve got an even more powerful light to work with.
Great review, thank you. Just the flashlight for me, no accessories. Small yet powerful.
Thank you! Glad you found the review helpful. This flashlight really does pack a punch for its size.
I recommend everyone put Loctite on the screws that hold the clip as they back out relatively quickly
Great idea! I do this for all of my pocket knife clips as well.
Great review, you have a new subscriber! keep it up!

Great reviews and interesting little light i want headlamp this check a lot of boxs but hey nobody is perfect
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed the review, and I totally get it - finding that perfect headlamp is tough! Each one has its strengths and some quirks.

You're welcome! I'm glad you found the review helpful. It could be a deal breaker for some. So far, the E7 has been a great flashlight for the price/output.
@@eighty.2I imagine it can be corrected maybe adding the extra oring that came with it?

@@eighty.2I sure hope they did. I have one on its way for my birthday on 7. I'm so excited I'm watching this video repeatedly.
@@RobinhoodDelta Happy early birthday! 🎉 I'm sure you'll love it when it arrives.
Wow looked like it had plenty of juice left when it turned off. But I guess that's due to the camera and how it recorded the light
You're right about the camera settings. I made some adjustments on how I record it on my future videos. Thanks for the feedback!

I have a complete set of this light. For the price point, It can't be beat! 1800 Lumens for less than $50 dollars, not bad.
👍 Hard to beat the output in such a small form factor!
Might as well go for a Perun 2 from Olight
Not a bad choice. However, the E7 is more budget-friendly, modular, and comes with a sensor.
Excellent review, your channel got a new subscriber
Thank you! I'm thrilled to have you as a new subscriber!
Pretty bood you did all liquid test after you run over it and beat the hell out of it. That's looked impressive
Yeah, this flashlight did great in the durability tests.

Great light but the anodization is not that great on this flashlight, that's what I noticed on my durability testing.
Great review!
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed the review!
Is it possible to remove all strips from the adapter?
Yes, it's possible to remove all the strips from the headband.
@@eighty.2 Nice, i was thinking about fitting the adapter to a molle platform
I removed the magnet from mine. It’s a very good flaglight.

I love the abuse test
Thanks, I’m glad you enjoyed the abuse test! It’s always fun to push these flashlights to their limits and see what they can handle!
bought it in June, and it's broken since 2 weeks ago. welp, it won't charge and just heat up
It sounds like a defect, and Wuben should be able to help. I’d recommend reaching out to them directly about a replacement or repair.
Please make a video on boruit v3 and v1
I appreciate the suggestion! I'll definitely consider making a video on the Boruit V3 and V1.

It's decent, strong enough to hold itself up and not slide down.

Everyone has their preferences, and it's great that we have plenty of options to choose from. Healthy competition keeps things interesting!
