Happy to see Weltool getting the recognition it deserves. These lights are built incredibly well. They lean more towards tactical and outdoors, so I understand why UI and form factor might be a little off putting to some that need more EDC oriented light. Really enjoy my T17, T13G and T1 Pro Tac. Hopeful to get more in the future.
Oh wow. These look fantastic. Thanks for sharing Dom!
Weltool really does a great job at producing quality, purpose driven lights.
I totally agree with you about the product.I I have the W3 pro tac W4pro tac my two favorite lights out of my LEP collection.
Finally, a Weltool! Well tour, weltool!
wow- thanks
I feel like I own every brand but Weltool, thanks to you, that might change lol Awesome review mam 👍
I'll check it out... I usally use thrunite or nitecore but been looking around for a medium size light, but I like more flood for edc purposes.... Been looking at Nitecore EDC27, but that a bit over kill for my use... Anyways, thanks for your opinions and your time 😎✌️
58 bucks is pretty good. really doesnt break the bank
T1 Pro Tac marking - there is TAC engraved in the groove for clip
It’s almost perfect light, what I am missing is battery indicator , like T2 Tac has. Have this light and cannot eliminate fear of short of power as there is no any warning of low battery
Weltool is a great option for those looking for a moderate lumens very high candela flashlight for a good price. It’s not budget but not as expensive as mod lite and cloud defensive.
They use yards to make it seem farther.
I mean 100 yards is 90 meters, 300 is around 270 meters, and 1000 is 900 meters so it’s not that much of a difference you’ll most likely only notice with the higher ranged lights if your brain works in meters.
I set my speedometer to KPH to feel faster 😎
just do the maths okay😅
No one can in detail see anything at night with any flashlight at say 100 yards...your talking about a football feld...
Interesting. I got an edc27 from Nitecore for what I was looking for. This gets hot crazy quick on max but it is comfy in pocket. I have 3 issues with it.
I may grab that 14500 one later.
Nice light, my only gripe is that it hasn't a moonlight mode. If it had that I'd buy one. Great video
I have not been able to find a review with beam shot comparisons of Weltool and any other flashlight. I would very much like to see how a Weltool running say a SFT40 compares to another flashlight of similar form factor running the same LED. I look forward to seeing a comparison review.
Search "flashlight crazy"... He's got the most Weltool content on RUclips.
Nice 😁
I have used varios 18650 headlamps, I prefer my SOFIRIN HS20 - or my Wurkos HD15 as a pocket torch. Compact and flexible.
Weltool is a great tool.
T2 is fine as it is but the reality is that with a 26.5mm head diameter you could definitely get higher numbers of candela with other leds and drivers in it, as some manufacturers are already doing like Convoy with their 24.2mm head diameter lights like the S2,S6,S8,S2+ with the Osram w1 or w2 in them.
What i did is that i chose both to increase brightness and also increase the candela by ordering a custom Weltool T2 with the SBT90.2 led in it and a customisable driver. And now i am planning to buy another T2 with the Osram w1 in it. T2 +w1 osram should reach 65-75.000 candela with the 26.5 head diameter.
The same applies for the T1 pro. In order for the T1 pro to be able to accomodate ordinary AA bateries the driver in it isn't able to push enough lumens out of the lithium cells. For example at the same head diameter of 20mm exists the Lumintop fw1aa and that sucker can push 30.000 candela at around 700 lumens with the Osram w1 led in it. Since i already own the fw1aa i can't justify to buy the Weltool t1 pro tac even though it's a far superior tactical light. I would definitely choose to get a custom T1 pro with the w1 led and a proper driver in it instead.
So generally weltool are on the right track, they offer quality lights, build to last, with great design and tactical features, but they could do better on the performance side of things by ditching the dual fuel compatibility with the cr123 and AA bateries. And since they like to release the same lights with different ui's then they should try and release the TAC versions with max performance and maybe with a customisable ui in them like some other lights they have.
The only lights that i know from Weltool that have max performance are their LEP offerings like the W4 pro and their small 14500 W2 and these i would certainly buy straight from Weltool without doubt. But their reflector flashlights i couldn't justify buying them, no way, Convoy and other companies offer higher performance lights at a fraction of the price of the stock T2. And another bad thing weltool is doing is that most of their lights except for the T2 and a couple of others carry no striking bezel at all, while simultaneously they market themselves as a tactical flashlights company which to me it doesn't make any sense.
Similarly sized to the stock T2 exists a far superior flashlight at half the price if you order it from Ali.
The Nitecore mh12pro with the following features the Weltool T2 doesn't have:
-65.000 candela, 500 meters of throw
-21700 cell with 5300mah and thus better runtimes
-Type c rechargeable
-More capable as an edc with the side switch and 4 output modes as well a moonlight, strobe,sos,beacon
-Greater lumen output at 3300 lumens vs the 1900 of the T2 which allow for a very big hotspot that also throws at 65.000 candela
Generally though i always carry my custom T2 sbt90.2 with me and the Nitecore mh12pro stays at home cause the T2 with the sbt90.2 produces more lumens 4300 and creates a bigger hotspot thus is a better self defence tool cause it's easier to target an assailant's eyes from a close distance in a stressful situation. And the candela is very close to the mh12pro as well around 55-60.000.
For throw I get what you are saying on the T1, have you compared to the new Lumintop AA 3.0 at 900lm or the Pokelit Gray AA at 1000lm? They are both definitely more floody, but would love to see a side-by-side.
It may be worth doing actual beamshots for this one
if youre looking for a cheap alternative to the t1 protac, try the convoy t3 nm1 16$ on ali without battery and similar specs. and has 12 modes
I have it, it's not remotely similar. The LM may be but...CD is almost 8x higher. It makes a big difference
Being a flashlight enthusiast you really should try the LH8 or LH1 heads with the malkoff MDC 18650 or 18350 hand held bodies. You will be absolutely impressed.
In my experience, of which I have tons, LED lights with a super-exposed tail button have always accidentally activated when carried in (left or right) pockets of my tactical BDUs. Unfortunately, I am not exaggerating. Due to this design (flaw), I will only purchase tactical flashlights that incorporate a shroud around the tail switch.
Makes sense! I'd go with the third one then with its covered tail.
You know it. Me too
Of course, I will have to see for myself if these Weltool are "the best" you can get. When it comes to these types of lights that are too big for the keychain category, but too small for the tactical EDC category. I have become a big fan of Rovyvon. Particularly The A28, A23, Aroura A2, S3, and the S3Ti. You can program them to turn on at any level you choose (Lo, Med, Hi, Turbo) with a double click. All are C-Type chargeable. 600 lumens in a light smaller than a tube of Chapstick - Or 1200 Lumens in a light about the size of a roll of Lifesavers. Do you have an affiliate link for Weltool?
Weltool t1s extension tube is the best accessory a aa flashlight should have.
I keeping hoping someone would make a small light like the first one, but with one mode. Just ON. Some of us older folks would love to have a well built light that just has an on and off and that’s it. I don’t need all those other modes. I never use them. Too much hassle to use one but have tingling through several steps to turn it on where you want it. Why can’t one of these companies make one like that Pro Tach model in a good strong medium lumen. Just one mode. ON. That’s all I want. I would even pay they $50+ for a good one.
I have been tempted by Weltool but could never get behind there ui. They always look a lot tougher then other brands too.
When you said pricey I was expecting Surefire pricing. Wish i would have known before getting my Nitecore Edc 27
Oh, nothing is that overpriced 😆
I have a few Cloud but those new Surefire is 100 bux outta my budget
I don’t know how many flashlights I’ve passed on because of a bad pocket clip lol. It’s a small part of flashlights but such an important part
Nitecore EDC33 may rival this yes?
Because I have two pair of pants that have holes burned in the pockets from negligent discharges from flashlights with large protruding tail switches, I see a problem right away with the first two lights. And with smoke coming off the front of the big one I don't think I'd ever use it as an EDC light. That's why I over paid for the Cloud Defensive MCH that comes with the ND protector.
Great review and lights otherwise.
It was just dust that was floating in the air. I was curious about it too
This is awesome. I’ve been looking for a defensive light of this size. Please tell me you can go to strobe immediately somehow?
No but the T12 has mode group with strobe and is way brighter. (Maybe even so bright strobe is unnecessary)
Strobe isn't as necessary as they make it seem. Especially since it effects the vision of the user as well. It does have a purpose however in stopping feral dogs.
Have a look at the Klarus XT1A. It has a duel tail switch. Straight to 1K strobe or 1K beam.
@arisalphas274 Discontinued, it actually doesn't hit the #s it states, and less CD for sure.
@@maxlvledc I think Weerapat Kiatdumrong’s channel has some videos where he scares feral dogs without strobe. The intensity of 129-140k candela should be enough IMO.
I don’t remember all the abbreviations but I know the LH8 and LH1 and the LEP versions are all compatable with the surefire 600DF bodies similar to cloud and modlite and they actually smoke them on stats. That’s the biggest draw to weltool right now.
I do sort of qant one of these. Sure they're pricey, but man handling a hot flashlight isnt fun
Also those lumen and candela amounts are nuts!
I consider 40K candela the minimum for self-defense. At that point, the light is more than annoying but actually uncomfortable to look at. More candela is better, but it's not linear. 80K is not twice as bright as 40K, rather it is a 4:1 doubling ratio (160K is twice 40K). Also, you want a candela to lumen ratio of 25 to 50, and more specifically 30 to 40. Here the T2 Pro Tac comes in at 46.5K candela at 25 to 1 so all good. But when we look at cost, you are paying "$116 or best offer" for that flashlight. With a 10% welcome bonus and a 10% TopCashBack referral, I paid less than $70 for the AceBeam Defender P16 with 58.5K candela at 32 to 1. List price is $85.
40k!!! Dude, that is a LOT of power.
I'll be getting RovyVon E3 Pro (hybrid ~ AAA + rechargable) for $37. I'm a cheapo, so I have to go cheap first. 😋
11:46 ~ I'm guessing a lot of guys heard that said to them before. 🤔
I have two and love them. All my rovyvon products can take an absolute beating and work perfectly!
I will stick with my Acebeam🥰 love the tint and the beam...#can't be beat😊
Attach a mainstream name brand, "EDC" or "Tactical" to any product and the price gets jacked up 4 to 10 times or more with everything.
I have found the exact same bags, lights, backpacks, pry bars, etc., etc. for a fraction of the cost in off brands made with the same materials and same quality.
Examples:
I have a maxpedition water bottle bag that was $60 and I found the exact same bag for $15 in an off brand. Compared... Same materials, same stitching, same color. Side by side, no difference except for the maxpedition tag.... and the cheaper one came with a shoulder strap/belt strap and molle straps.
Popular brand EDC pouch (5" x 7" roughly) $65... Off brand Same everything $10.
A popular brand pry bar $200 and found the exact same one for $32. No difference other than the brand tagging on it and the packaging.
Popular brand AA flashlight $68. Off brand $16. Same everything including the brightness, throw, modes, etc..
I can list quite a few more examples.
I started selling off (and returning if possible) all my expensive branded stuff as I find the same thing or better for much less.
These companies are extorting us all with their jacked up prices.
I review tons of flashlights...there is NO true budget $30 equivalent to the T1 Pro Tac
@@maxlvledc At least not yet. There may be one in a few months or so. Just have to wait and see if an off brand picks it up. There are some products that I have yet to find lower priced equivalents.
Six and a half minutes in: I hope this entire video doesn't end without talking about how comfortable the small Tac feels on the bill of a hat.
I didn't mention it, but it's basically invisible. So light
Anyway of getting a reversible clip for the smaller one without buying a second light?
Olight sells just the clip for a few bucks, but only when they aren't having a sale 👍
@@ElectrabuzzXD oh sweet thank you.
I found clips on battery junction
@@maxlvledc oh perfect. The more I watch your channel the more I learn about new sites and gear.
What I’ve grown to hate about America is the fact that I have to order everything. I like to see, feel touch, compare items. And I hate you know who knowing what I’m buying.
Great video
Roger that 👍
Which best to blind 1-3 attackers? weltool T1 Pro TAC versus wurkkoss fc 12?
That is my budget range...
Fc12 is 18650, and better to compare with T2 not T1...
Same led, almost same beam pattern except different UI....
Does the T1 tac ever switch on automatically in a bag or something or probably can? My worry is with that concentrated beam, it can burn pretty quick if switched on in error without a lockout mode.
Not yet..requires a very firm press..plus you can use mechanical lockout.
@@maxlvledc you mean untwist the rear cap a little to mechanically lock it? Sorry to be asking such noob questions.. just getting into flashlights.
@@Djinsoul exactly. And there is no such thing as a stupid question asked respectfully.
@@maxlvledc thank you! This video helped me make a purchase decision. Ordered it.
@@Djinsoul the T1 pro tac makes it into my top 5. The UI is ok...but the hardware is unbeatable
Without getting into the video too far, but for EDC it is worthless to me without a hat bill clip on it. May be great on the nightstand but that's as far as it would go with me.
Rechargeable Microstream has yet to be beat. Streamlight just needs to get on board with USB-C charging.
I3T 2 is way better btw
WONDER IF THESE ARE FULLY REGULATED LIKE FENIX) AND IF THE COATING IS HA2 OR HA3?
Not sure but...WHY ARE WE YELLING???
@@maxlvledc U CANT YELL TYPING, IT HAS NO AUDIO. SILLY THING TO SAY.THAT SAID,MEN DONT USE SIMPCASE
ODD THING TO FOCUS ON AND WORRY ABOUT
DIDNT ANSWER THE QUESTION EITHER /
My Stiletto heats up pretty good/bad
Love the quality.
Hate Hate Hate the interface.
4 perfect clicks to get to low?
WHY?
Lo, mid, high, on all batteries.
2 to 4 lumins on low - 100 lumins on mid - full power on high. Click once high, click again mid, click again low. Where you turn the light off, it stays on that level. Not complicated most light manufacturers have figured this out. My t1 pro is the last Ill buy because of their interface.
It's $58 I'll just get a Sofirn SC33 or Wurkkos at that price, sure it's not tiny but it'll have more uses much more practical. If they reduce the price to $25-$30 I might consider that, but $58 on a tiny 500LM EDC isn't good for me.
But your review of it is pretty nice I like how you point out everything.
Focusing on LM is where you are messing up...LM isn't everything.
I strongly dislike my Wurkkos light, it lives in a drawer as a back up to my Thrunite T1.
Sofirn and wurkkos pale in comparison to Weltool. The quality and characteristics are so different that they really shouldn't even be compared or discussed in the same conversation.
Check out the acebeam tac AA it's a close comparison to the weltool t1 pro. I have the T2 as well. I've been on a grey flashlight kick lately.
UI on that is a disgrace
@@maxlvledc which one?
@mewithknives3481 the acebeam..it's not a tac flashlight. It has mode memory, meaning your going to have to hope you saved the right output for the specific occasion. It MUST always come in on turbo to be an actual tac light.
@@maxlvledcI agree with you on that. I even wonder why they called the tac AA. I was pointing out that it's a 1000 lumen and peak candela of 20k. if I had to name it I would call it the tweener AA
Give me an Acebeam Tac AA and you can keep your Weltool T1 Pro Tac for you, right? A comparative would be nice but I know how nice works the first.
I think Fenix and Nitecore out performs both of those lights. I have been using a Nitecore MH12S for a few years. It puts out up to 1800 lumins and has a strobe feature. It uses a 5000 MAH battery, ability to use different battery types and cost me 83 buck's. They have several other advanced models designed for law enforcement that run in the 120's.
Ummm, the T2 Tac kicks the daylights out of that light on output... 100 less lumens but more than double the beam concentration
nice but kinda expensive, wish i could afford
They didn't write pro tac on that one because they wanted to make sure and sell their old stock😂😂😂
Wait it takes 4 clicks of turbo to get to low mode?? What is even the point? I like my streamlight 1hl-aa that is just on and off.
It's primarily a defense light, the low is bonus
on eBay, I don’t touch eBay anymore. Hope gets somewhere else to buy it.
It's $56 on their website. That has to be considered budget, no?
You can get good quality wurkkos or sofirn for a fraction of the price of these flashlights.
These are way more expensive? Then yeah, it better be good.
Flash lights by Weltool are too expensive
Take a look at the lumintop gt nano. Way smaller, lighter that can reach 300m easily.
And you can get a 10440 tube for it.
I have it, only runs for 8 seconds at full power. By 30 seconds it lost 20% of output
The new clip is sticking out too much
On which one?
Stop shilling for this brand so shamelessly. You are losing your credibility.
....I payed for them myself and don't even have an affiliate link. Wtf are you talking about?
w2 is the best lep out there
