My man! Thank you Talon, glad you are digging the light and we appreciate you taking the time to make this video. As always your production value is 😗🤌🏼! Also, that’s basement is so killer, it’s coming along nicely! See you soon man!
The long throw head he was showing is an LEP light, different than an LED. Lower lumens much much more candela. Candela measures light throw distance, lumens measures total light output. Be aware that with the long throw head you do NOT want to shine it into someones eyes as it is a rated laser and can cause eye damage. If you like LEP long throw lights, try the Fenix tk30 or TK30R that max out at 500 lumens, 600,000 candela and can throw a beam almost a mile... just amazing.
Great review 👍🔥love all the options. Don’t forget to show us the basement when you all done looks like you been busy. How’s the cute pup🐕doing? Have fun & stay safe. 👍💙😎
Talon, you should take a look at Convoy flashlights. Insanely cheap, but wonderful quality. Not taking away from the AI at all, obviously an outstanding setup. The convoy flashlights are definitely for banging around and not having to worry about losing or breaking them. The C8+ that comes with the same emitter as the AI2, OSRAM, is $25ish and throws 700m(140k candela), 18650, and fairly pocketable. The S2+ comes in a ton of emitters, the SST-40 is probably the best all arounder high lumen, great throw for the size of flashlight body. 18650, very pocket friendly, just over 4.5in.
Subbed because I saw you on Zac's channel when you showed this flashlight/torch (as we Aussies call them). I have a Speras spot thrower that has a range of about 1300 metres ( roughly just under a mile) and wanted to see how powerful this thing is. I have a small pivot-head Nicron N7 that is much smaller than the one you're showing but is a great pocket torch. I'm very interested in the one you're showing in that configuration. EDIT: I also have a Coast brand HP7 that I've had for five years or more and it has been through hell. Beaten, bashed, scratched, dropped (in water as well) and it's still rocking and rolling like a champ. The HP7 can be stood on end, and the Nicron has a swivel head and magnetic base.
That AI White Laser head alone is already $300+ But AI seems to be a great brand, more durable than Modlite and CD in terms of built quality. I'm a fan of candela than lumens. I am carrying a pocket thrower, 5+ inch in length, 20mm head diameter, but throws max 400 meters.
Bro ! We all don’t have $400+ to spend on just a light. And even if we did . Our wives would kill us ! Great video. Cool light. But damn I thought Surefire was way over priced. And I finally found a cloud defensive under $200 . And I’m still thinking twice on that .
Looks like a nice light, but absolutely not a EDC period. Is it to expensive I think so, but that can be said of others most notably Surefire. Great job on the video it self and if you want to drag that beast around with you every day more power to you. I carry several but my favorite and largest is Zebralight SC 62 it's 18650 .9" x 3 3/4".
I need to start carrying one of these as I work as a Correctional Officer and would be nice to have something like this. 🤙🏻 How much would your set up be?
I'd suggest you get proper lights from proper well established brands such as Nitecore or Fenix. As a correctional officer that works indoors, buying a dedicated thrower would be pointless.
@@kingpin3919 you ordered the 18350 Mch? I’m between that one or the 18650 but the 18650 honestly looks a little to big for everyday pocket carry ya know
I would rather buy a Cloud Defensive light, but more high end options out there isn't a bad thing. I would hope these are US made for the price they're asking.
Olights are lumen monsters, so they get real hot real fast because they are using a lot of energy to achieve the super high lumens. However candela has nothing to do with energy consumption or lumens, it's about focusing the beam for a tighter hotspot so that the light projects farther; which is why the high candela lights don't typically have crazy high lumens and their heads are typically much wider/longer. According to the website the AI-1 head is only 300 lumens, which really isn't very much and why the head is so much larger, so it shouldn't get very hot. However the AI-2 is 700 lumens, considerably higher, and that one will start to heat up after a while, but still nothing on the level of the Olights that are pushing 1000+ lumens. 👍
When I'm working, I carry two flashlights and two folding knives. Almost every work day, I have a fellow tech who should be carrying at least one decent light ask to borrow one of mine. When I'm off work, I just carry one light, one folding knife. A man HAS to have his tools on him.
200kcd is pretty low for an lep, especially from this size class.. My skylumen compact, which granted is a 21700 claims 430kcd @ 300lm, however my thor2 18350/650 is closer to 800kcd. However I feel like the skylumen is a better comparison due to the slimmer head. These two lights are the same length when the Thor is in 650 config with head diameter being the only real difference. The skylumen still has a decent spread when outdoors making it a slightly more practical night carry but it still won’t be lighting your immediate path well… they claim 1200&1800m throw respectively. These look like solid hosts tho n I’ll take a look.
I'll take the acebeam L17 with 1400lm 800m of throw for 60$-70$. Vs 300+$ for just the head then you still need a body and battery. The acebeam come with a battery too.
@@TalonSei I guess they're out of stock on things then... For some reason the cheapest I could get was $404..weird WTF... Now I can 😂 it tricked me the first 2 times
Holy crap!! $315 bucks for just the HEAD of a flashlight??! $420 for the whole flashlight?? Maybe if I win the lotto. Damn. I must say I don’t think I’ve ever been so surprised by the price of an item on a RUclips video.
@@TalonSei brother, I’m sure it’s incredibly cool but my god, that’s hard to digest. These guys are definitely going after a limited audience. I mean that’s great, different niches for different folks, but it is REALLY limiting.
ok after watching the video this is absolutely not an edc light, idk who would EDC anyhting but a flood and this light doesnt have different levels of light. great for camping or hiking at night, but you would still ALSO need to carry a smaller light for everything not long distance related.
For that price and no specifics? What emitter, where is it made, run-time parameters? It obviously isn't potted. It looks like a re-branded Weltool. Such a high price for no factual information. There are plenty of brands that would be better choices, including just buying the Weltool.
this lights a huge joke ! the head alone is 350 bucks>? are you serious. both heads and the body are well over 600 bucks !!! lmao, they must be smoking some good crack....you can get lights 3 times better, with 1,450,000 lux....thats 7 times the output for half the price.....sorry this lights s fail...buy the acebeam

Awesome light. Thanks for the comparisons, Talon 👍
This thing is sweet! Looks like the perfect size for a truck door pocket light👌🔥
Thanks for the review, this seems very similar to my Weltool LH3 that I purchased a year ago or so.
Great review 👍🔥love all the options. Don’t forget to show us the basement when you all done looks like you been busy. How’s the cute pup🐕doing? Have fun & stay safe. 👍💙😎
Thanks for the comparison.
Will have to see what the battery life will be in contrast to the ones you compared
Great review! Thank you for the info! Have you checked out the Streamlight Wedge? I have been EDCing it for months and love it! Thanks again.
I just got a cloud defensive hc micro and am completely blown away with the quality. That like looks really good also. I was looking at modlight also.

Love my atibal illumination stuff!!
My new Streamlight Micro USB you suggested awhile back just went thru the washer unscathed. Great EDC content.
I like mine too, wrapped it in hockey tape since it was a little slippery. My pocket clip isn't as strongly retaining as it used to be, but it's fine.
Great informative video sir!
Great comparison shots!
Hey thanks for all the content it’s awesome and I’m a big fan. Can I ask what cell phone case you’re using in this video
Yea I got a blazer lep took it to Tennessee mountains this summer love it.
I own the weapon light and love it on my pinned 13.9” 556 rifle I use for roaming the ranch to coyote hunt.
Awesome video. Thanks.
Talon I got one of these lights and oh my word you were not lying these things are bright as all hack
If you want one similar to the ai2 head Id suggest the Convoy C8+ osram cslnm1 its brighter and goes way further for only $30

Yeahhh Im going to need to snag one of these
I edc a cloud defensive mch duty this atibal is next on my list to get
I bought a LEP light last Black Friday sale…. It’s more a novelty than actually useful.
I wonder if weltool is the OEM. Looks similar to their light head
Nice video talon ! So u think the stream light is better for edc? I appreciate your video on the stream light I use it everyday for work 💪🏾
Normal person edc yes. If you are outside a lot then this light will be way better

Right, olight warrior is 90$ and a beast of lumens.
Ill have to see if they have a head that'll work on a fenix. That thing is beastmode, lol
I bet you could turn off streetlights w that AI1 head.
Pretty cool, but I doubt my eyes could handle the contrast. Glad you posted the video though.
Supporting your boy Roger
Always support the homies 👊🏻
Know any good pouches for that specific light?
Dude I’m seeing the new channel it’s working your algorithm your new algorithm is working! #VanLife #Rebel

More flashlight reviews please
My microstream lights up extremely well for me. Plenty of light to light up a camping site.
Looks large for a pocket light imo, definitely not appropriate for all clothing, but good sized for a pack strap light/bedside light/weapon light.
What is an alternative which is more affordable?
I've heard of them before but have no experience, good video, I like candela. Where are they made?
Atibal is from AZ but I’m not sure where they are actually made without looking. I would check their site 👍🏻
wts is the led model inside a ai-2?
bonjour et belle vidéo , excellent thrower de fou , où puis je trouver cette lampe en achat direct et combien elle coûte ? merci d'avance :):)👍
Crazy!

Man and here I am thinking it may be cheaper then a cloud defensive…I’ve been looking at the 18350 MCH tbh.
Just ordered one myself

For the AI-1 light head it says that it's manufactured with both US and foreign sourced components
No, its not. This is a rebranded weltool
Modlite review next?
Seems as a good set up for law enforcement
Crazy light. Does it heat up at all? I've noticed my olight gets crazy hot when i use it at its highest mode.
They do just like most high powered lights

What candela is needed to be effective in daytime attackers?
9mm I think
You didn't link the new channel bro
When you need something for vampires.
Lep light exite phosphor
This is cool but it is so insanely expensive to put together
I carry a knife exactly as you say. I feel naked without it if I leave it in a different pair of pants.
Now I’m gonna start carrying a flashlight.
200kcd is pretty low for an lep, especially from this size class.. My skylumen compact, which granted is a 21700 claims 430kcd @ 300lm, however my thor2 18350/650 is closer to 800kcd.

No chance for an edc light. Truck light yes
You should spend more time outside then reconsider 😉
Commenting for algorithm reasons.
Good for self defense also. That light will be painful
Not so much a pocket light; but a bag light or truck light for sure.
Zbolt blazer lep is 315,000 candela so no reason to get this one.
holy crap, that ai-1 head by itself is 315$
ill stick with Modlite or Cloud Defensive.
I'll take the acebeam L17 with 1400lm 800m of throw for 60$-70$. Vs 300+$ for just the head then you still need a body and battery. The acebeam come with a battery too.
For the price I'd rather go with Cloud Defensive or Modlite. Those are proven lights for weapons and daily use
I might miss the intro and outro music the most once videos are no longer on this channel 😥
