Olight Warrior 3S Orange Tactical Flashlight Review

- This is a review of the Olight Warrior 3S tactical EDC flashlight in the zesty orange finish. The review is intended for potential buyers who are doing a lot of research on their next flashlight purchase and want a lot of content, not just specs on the light, but what is it like to own and operate on a day to day basis. As a result, this is a long video for a flashlight review, but for those that are research addicts like myself, jackpot!
After wrapping up production on the video I followed a trend I've done in my other flashlight review videos and unintentionally dropped the light. Out of my hands and onto the drive way. Worked fine afterward, but suffered a few minor blemishes to its wonderful orange finish. So, it survived my unplanned drop test.
Great comprehensive review. Got the answers i needed that i didnt get with mainstream reviews. I think you did a geat job on this, better than you think you did. This was most helpful, from the pocket pofile of the light down to the interface. Awesome job and thank you so much for the review!
Thank you for the positive feedback! I appreciate it!
I also bought this product, the experience is really the same as what you said in the video, I think you are the most honest blogger on the whole network
Thank you! I really appreciate the kind words! I have more review videos coming up - a lot are music related, but also more flashlight reviews too.
I finally got the strobe mode set from my rear button on my flash light. Reading the instructions is confusing. Your video helped me out. 2 thumbs up 👍👍.Thanks Bro.
Thank you for letting me know. Glad to help.
I bought the Warrior S on holiday special from Amazon. First one I received failed to go into Turbo Mode so returned & replaced. Second light functioned but.. I purchased the light specifically for the 2300lm TURBO mode but after receiving the light realized Turbo only last 2.5 minutes before ramping down to 800lm HIGH mode. With most lights if you reactivate turbo, it will last another turbo cycle but not so with the Warrior S. If you reactivate 2300lm turbo a second time it only last 1 minute then ramps down to 800lm HIGH. You will not be able to activate Turbo again until you recharge the light? So total time on 2300lm Turbo is 3.5 minutes per full charge. Now if you use Turbo then recharge the light with the magnetic tail cap, the light will NOT recharge because the remaining battery power will not enter into turbo mode but is still nearly fully charged so it will not start charging? To get the light to charge you have to run the battery down sufficiently to get the charge circuit to activate. This is an absolute DEAL BREAKER!
So once you utilize the 3.5 minutes of 2300 Turbo, you are left with a greenish tint 800lm HIGH Mode flashlight with a bad beam pattern. I have 15 year old 1000lm lights utilizing a 18650 that easily fit in a pocket that have greater runtime, improved beam pattern and neutral color emitter that vastly outperform the Warrior S.. again once the 3.5 minutes of turbo is used..
This could be a great light. It has good build quality and a good user interface and I really like the magnetic charging philosophy but.. this lights shortcoming are deal breakers. I returned mine to Amazon..
Thank you for your feedback. Sorry the light didn't work out for you. I typically don't use any light at full turbo (save it for emergency use) so your issue didn't come up in my review.
Olight needs to get their quality control in order .. for the price you pay you should not have to buy 3 to get one that actually works ( for a while ) .. also the " flash sales " only tell me they're over charging in the first place .. need to work on the customer service as well 👍
Anyone that isn't into Olight and gets things as they come out on flash sales are definitely paying a bit more, especially if it's sold out and you have to buy second hand.

I have zero issues with quality control or customer service.
So far the two Olights I've bought are working fine. I'll do follow up reviews down the road to see how they are holding up.
@@WorshipBlender just my experience so far .. the adjustments keep moving on me and the on off on one side is hard to push while one side is easy .. I just wouldn't depend on one on my carry .. for a few bucks more I can get a surefire or something .. maybe they'll get it together but I just don't think right out of the box there should be two issues that just makes me think quality control isn't very good
@@jamesdoehler9870Understood - sorry your experience has been less than favorable. Hopefully you have reached out to customer service at Olight.
I’ve had no issues with any of their items but they actually made me aware of an issue for a run they did which did not impact my particular item but they still refunded me $. I’m completely satisfied.
To activate use a black oxide flat washer. Simple fix and it can be removed for setting up on a flat surface.
Best review on youtube.
Thank you - you are too kind!
Just purchased this light, will be delivered to me Friday. How are you liking it after a couple weeks?
I thought it would be a light to test out for fun and then resale since I got it on an Olight flash sale, but I liked it more than expected and have kept it and it is currently the main light I've been carrying lately - in my pocket now. I have been trending away from tactical lights with a side switch, but it's really like two lights in one since the side switch is a fully independently functioning button - use side switch for all general purpose task lighting and the tailswitch, in tactical mode (turbo and strobe) for tail switch use. Now that I have moonlight mode, I can't see having an EDC light without it - years of Fenix lights, and now I wish all my Fenix lights had it too.
I have two and 5 total Warrior 3s.
Why am I watching this o.O
Because you probably want another one...
My cousin got one in the same color. Nice light but already he has issues with the tail switch.
Sorry to hear that, none so far for me.
Ciao, scusa l'OT, puoi leggere il mio commento sulla tua recensione dell'Ibanez EHB1005MS, se non l'hai già visto? Scusami, ma non ho altro modo di comunicare con te.
17 countries are using Olights with these tail switches for life and death situatiuons and mounted on weapons. they have no problem using this switch. but regular joe needs to defend himself and cant click a button. if you cant click this button you deserve to get robbed.
Show me on the flashlight where the bad men touched you
love flashlight reviews keep making them lol
Thanks! I have a couple more in the works when time allows.
Best China Brand : Olight ,, Nitecore ,, Fenix
Same brands I have multiples of too.
Jesus, you were completely over critical of the tail switch. First of all, pressing and holding it to turn it on and releasing turning it off is a feature, not a quirk. That’s how you access momentary mode and it’s extremely useful, Not weird like you say… Secondly, it really isn’t that hard to press. Not sure why you have such odd complaints…
You have identified me wrong. Jesus is my Lord and savior, I'm not him. I have been using the Warrior 3S as my main carry light since I got it, so it's a great light. However, I stand by my assessment of the UI based on my preferences. It's ok to have different preferences than me, but it sounds like we both like the light.
Olight great quality.. Poor review.
