I love how you really gave the torch a good thrashing....for someone who drops things alot like myself it is great to see it will still work...very thorough review...thank you
I always cringe when you do those drop tests. I know that it's a necessary part of your review, but my mind is saying 'oh, that's gonna really gonna scratch that finish '. 😆Great light, and great review!
I got the white version for my favorite pharmacist, who is fairly tall, but only 130 lbs. I took her for LTC classes, but she doesn't have her license to carry yet, so this was a great option for a tiny woman that sometimes works overnight in the worst parts of Boston. Excellent review, by the way. Very comprehensive. I sent the link to her.
Olight is like Apple. You buy one of their products and they come out with a new and improved version. Great lights. I have a ton. My EDC is the Baton 3. Incredible for it's size.
Any one wanting to buy one of these should!! A friend I work with turned me onto Olight, after seeing the warrior 3 on their website I wanted to see reviews, this was the first and only review I watched and my mind was made up I decided to buy one along with the weapon mount, I'm completely happy with it, the only issue I have now is do I buy another so I can just leave one attached to my rifle and have one for regular use. Thanks for the great review
Have you ever had it accidentally come on in its holster? Because i did, second day i carried. Destroyed the holster and melted debris to the lense. Oh...they will replace it, if you have time to wait like 3 weeks and navigate 20 hoops to jump through. I love Olight and i have many but they should do something about this danger.
This is why I have never bought into the olight hype. It is cheap Chinese garbage. This is not the first model they have had melting problems with. I go surefire. Anyone who criticizes that is too poor to afford one.
Nice review! Just picked one of these up and can't wait to start using it. Would have loved to see what the finish looked like after your torture test.
Great video as always. I bought one during the most recent flash sale but for some reason the tail knob doesn’t work on mine and the light will only cycle through the first 3 settings on the side switch. The first 3 clicks cycle fine but then the double click to max setting simply reverts back down to setting #2. Additionally it only charges to the 3rd led light. I made sure to charge it fully before ever even turning it on. Worst of all the return policy requires me to also return the unrelated bundle items which is impossible as I gave both of those to other people.
I edc a sr2 batton daily and love it. Recommend it highly. This looks like a good household light or maybe my get home bag light. I will buy some of the warrior series lights eventually
"Olight is the only light brand that ever stopped working for me" -true quote, just made by me. Nothing always holds out, this is why 2 is 1 and 1 is none. Olight would have to improve a great deal and stay reliable for longer for me to get one. Nothing personal, but channels on RUclips represent olight and yet change from light to light constantly, never using one to failure. I really think they make great stuff starting in 2018 or so, but I'd like to see it go a little longer.
Olight is very durable flashlight. I’ve bought many flashlights 🔦. It’s been a few years since bought Olight seeker 1 and 2. Gave them to loved ones . Just ordered this Warrior 3 model ,just needed something smaller. I’ve damaged many flashlights 🔦 just dropping a few times waste high. Olight outlasts them all. Finally a product that is ME proof…lol
One detail that I like is the tail cap has no rubber. Every light I’ve owned with rubber has ripped or worn out after a few months and you gotta replace it constantly.
Is this light going to replace my mr2 warrior pro....... yeah probably, need a second charger and ill keep my pro in my toolbox for those days I forget it at home. These are great lights in the mechanic field as well
I own one of these and i work in a foundry and this sucks at being around sand and metal but the flashlight itself i like I wish they could make some kinda of rubber endcap to prevent it from that.
@@googlephone1260 I’ve recently bought the Fenix TK16 and it will only run for 1h30 on high mode, not the 2h50 claimed by Fenix…. Thinking of returning it
I have the WM and 3 WM2 lights. Hoped this would be an easier to carry thrower than my Warrior but still be very capable and was beyond please. That tan paint spill camo is nice too.
I have the M2R Warrior Pro and I absolutely love the hotspot and the tint of the beam profile! Does the Warrior 3 have the same color temp (kelvin) as the M2R? To me it looks like it has a slightly colder temperature? 🤔 (Yes, I'm picky about details...😅)
I'm looking for a decent pair of curling tongs for when I go camping ... I've got very long hair... I always have lots of fun camping if you understand!
@@jjohnston1946 Mate I'm off grid so when the power goes out... i need stuff that works! Also out in the feild anything metal that can and will attach itself , turns it on? Giving away your position! A tacky gimmick on an otherwise really good light.
@@pushrod76 That comment is for another light, and I’m not sure it applies to the Warrior 3. Even if it does, is there really that much metal trash out in the bush?!? Or, the field…not sure what that means. Good luck out there, be safe! Australia is on my bucket list, when the lunacy ends and life gets back to normal!
@@jjohnston1946 example : metal push button on a open jacket you're wearing can and will turn turn on the torch. 99 times out of 100 who cares. They are great lights ive got 4 Olight torches. Just pointing out the bad design of having a magnetic on/off button.
My friend said the same when I got her the limited edition white one. After checking it out, she decided it wasn't a light saber, but she was still very happy.
Might be jumping the gun if this is mentioned later in the video. I just got mine. Not fully charged but my turbo doesn’t work. Does it only work if it’s higher then 75% charged?
Love the flash light but they need to remember tactical means button on the back for ease of use. Not a good button location. I wish they would make them with button on back.
The best light out there? I think that comment is a bit over the top. There are plenty of flashlightaholics that will challenge that statement. March on.
I stopped buying them. Been using what I have but I’ve switched to streamlight. They’re at least consistent with their quality control. Too many of my olights are too inconsistent in quality and the lumens. They’re good in my opinion for camping or having around the house as a backup light. But be honest, you get paid to say they’re great. They’ve already been exposed in the past telling people to say great stuff about them. They’re great lights for showing off, but just too damn inconsistent like I’ve said multiple times
I'd get more use from it if I found a bar mount to use it on my bicycle especially now the clocks have changed . and I always run a strobe in the daylight on front of my bike
@@rolandxor179 well during the daytime a strobe isn't gonna blind anyone, but riding a bike at night without lights will definitely get you a ticket like I did at 16 from state police in my neighborhood smh
I love the new Warrior 3 side switch, but the rest not so much. Since one could always access the high medium directly, does anyone prefer losing the low medium 60 lumen level? If so why? The new 200 lumen level is great, but I still miss the 60 lumen level for utility purposes. In the review as was glad you noted the switch to cool white versus the former neutral white. You seemed to like the CW and I was curious as to why? Possibly there might have been little choice if they wanted to boost the lumen levels and runtimes, but I prefer the better color object rendering of the neutral white. It may be in part my aging eyes. My wife is fine with the CW. I do like the slight broader hot spot that the Warrior 3 provides. Thanks for the review.
The ONLY gripe I have about this light: I used this light for work. The tail button would collect a lot of metal in there. Because of that, the light would change setting and on many occasions it would go turbo mode in my pocket. Not fun when ur riding a motorcycle home from work. It can burn a whole through your pants. That being said, I still love it for everything else.

That was an awesome review of an awesome light! Thanks for the great review! One of the best reviews I've seen!!
I really like this light! I’ve been looking for an edc that has multiple lumens. This one looks just the right size. Thank you for the review
Thanks for the info. I carry the Olight Warrior Mini 2. It’s awesome & has never failed me!

Great video brotha 🤙🏽 my favorite EDC lights are the Warrior 3, the Baton 3 premium (with the charging case) and the Warrior Mini 2 all are 🔥🔥🔥
I have several shapes and sizes of this flashlight……..all are incredible.
Long live the Republic!!
I'm from Kuwait and I love watching sootch
Looks like a light saber from star wars really cool plus it's built to get trashed and keep on working great stuff
is this warrior 3 too heavy to carry it in your pocket? I really hesitate between the warrior mini 2 and the warrior 3, can you enlighten me?
I currently EDC my M2R Pro Warrior, and have it as a weapon mounted light on a couple rifles, cant wait to upgrade.
I have the warrior 3 and it's awesome 👍

Nice review! Just picked one of these up and can't wait to start using it. Would have loved to see what the finish looked like after your torture test.
This is the light I would get over all of the Olight models made. It looks neat. I just hate magnetic charging...
I have the warrior 2 mini and love it. My plan is to have an olight in every car and several in the house
Love this light I put it on my 45-70
If it stands up to 45-70 it's gotta be pretty tough.. full house loads in 45-70 are no joke.js
I just bought this in the philippines and it is frickin good.

It goes nicely with my M2R, Perun-2 and H2R.
Good things do come in small packages! Thanks for the review.
I just got mine. Light looks nice but charger looks flimsy also is lens flame proof or is it going to develop spots when being to close to fire ?
"We need to ask ourselves, how many lumens is TOO MANY?" - Literally No One
still looking for a 1913 rail mount for the XR9 Marauder😂
She Blinded me with Science! Lol!
Looks like a new Olight in my future. Thanks!
Olight knocked it out of the park with this unit!😀
Love the M2R Warrior Pro. We'll see how this one compares.
Same.
My buddy got a warrior 3 and compared. I want one now
Great light. I carry one on my belt with all my other LE equipment. Very bright
I've carried the m2r pro as an EDC and now the camo warrior 3. Ery day!!
Thanks for always saving us a little money.

How would any LED perform after an EMP? Would they survive? would an older incandescent torch survive?
Chance of an EMP is like 1 in a billion chance; you have a better chance at taking back your country then getting EMP'd
@@maxrockatanksyOG Yep, understood, however the question stands, would an incandescent bulb have a better, worse or equal chance of surviving an EMP.
They probably wouldn’t survive. Incandescent would
Sootch using the e-girl stock music is something I honestly never expected to see.
I own one of these and i work in a foundry and this sucks at being around sand and metal but the flashlight itself i like I wish they could make some kinda of rubber endcap to prevent it from that.
I agree Olight is one of the best. Just did not like the lantern. Thanks for the discount.
Is this bright enough to stun someone in the eyes for self defense ?
I have several Olight flashlights but I never liked the fact that they would have crazy amount of lumen but it would only last for a short little time
That's a limitation of technology, not a fault of the flashlight.

Any idea how long the battery lasts when just sitting attached to your firearm?
Can you turn the flashlight on and off with the side button?
Great review......😊
