Thanks for watching!!!!
Should have included a dedicated headlamp. Always handy when you need to be hands-free. I use the Fenix LM60R because it has both flood and spot lights as well as a low-power red light.
Duck Tape Olight Javelot Pro II to your noggin?🦄
There's an argument to be made that a good headlamp is more useful than any other style of light. Honestly, if I was forced to only have one light, it would be a headlamp.
LMAO@@demonhunter-skydomeatlanti1746
most surefire lights have a two way clip to attach to a hat brim as a head light, head lights are just less useful
Great review thank you. I love researching products. For me it’s back bone of a well informed purchase. I purchased the Olight Javelin Pro for hunting. Couldn’t go past the Fenix PD36R Pro for goto work horse. My job is on the front line so throw and spread is everything.
Nice one! Thanks for the comment mate!
my picks to fill your categories:
thrower: Convoy L7, sbt90.2 and you can use 26800 batteries.
flooder: Sofirn Q8 pro, its a soda-can light but 11k lumens and runs forever with 4 18650 batteries, plus it has a tri-pod mount hole.
indoor self defense: gun (i'm american)
outdoor self defense: you guessed it, gun. For a light though I use wurkkos fc12, sft40, tailswitch, and its small and lightweight.
general use and nighttime light I combined because they're pretty much the same thing. I use a wurkkos ts10 or a emisar d4k. They both have aux lights for finding them in the dark and low moonlight modes.
NICE!!
basically only bad quality cheap lights just to save 20 dollars.
@@the_nma5119 the hell are you on about?
@@DONK0 Nice choices, however a gun does not compensate for a self defense flashlight even if you have a weapon mounted light it is very likely you will need to identify the threat without pointing a gun at it.
More like saving 80 dollars and still have better performance so there's that@@the_nma5119
Awesome video! Great job with the different categories. Weltool 🙌 Just wait until you get the Sky Lumen
So excited for it bro. Thanks for watching
Fantastic video... You put it all together perfectly.
Just on that configuration you have for t14c you buy those parts separately? Do you mind breaking down what you need to buy exactly please. Thanks!
Yep! So, buy the cool white weltool LH8 head. (not the neutral white) then buy the BB3 body and the TC59 tail cap. Put them all together and you have your lock out light with blinding white light.
Nice selections and reasons why. The Weltool mini was too weak for me so I got the regular M6 version. Still, I see your point for your use of it.
Yeah i just found the regular too bright for bedtime use. But the regular m6 is perfect for around the house at night
@@flashlightcrazy Please suggest pocket magnetic tailcap flashlight other than Thrunite T1 (because I already have it)
great video. awesome topic. no headlamp or Keychain options?
Great suggestions man! Perhaps i should have included a keychain category, but I don't use headlamps. Where i live there are too many flying creepy crawlies that will be attracted to light right near my face. I never use headlamps for that reason anymore.... too many bad situations
I get that but for most people headlamp is a category you don t skimp at all
There is more people using headlamp than thrower for sure
Hmmm, only 2 brands...it's all good, it's your vid. For a thrower the best I have is the thrunite catapult pro(neutral white) Terrible ui and side button is not the best but the thing is a beast. P16 defender is outdoor contender. Cheers, I like your reviews. ✌️
I don't mind paying a little bit more for Olight. But if I had to buy 2 dozen flashlights for a work crew I would choose thrunite over Olight.
Should have included a headlamp, some type of neck light or clip on light and a lantern style light. But still all great choices.
Great video my friend I love the welltool and the olight warrior! Do you still edc the thrunite the one that you said was your perfect flashlight ever?? Or has that changed?! God bless you and your family and be safe
Hey Marc, Yes I often edc the Thrunite! It is a great light and will always be in my rotation. But I had to be very picky with the lights i showed in this video so it didnt go for too long. But i still love the Thrunite
@@flashlightcrazy oh ok that is a awesome flashlight and I think it is going to be my next flashlight! Thanks to you I fell in love with it! Do you purchase your flashlight from Amazon?? If not where do you purchase them from?
@@marcramirez1986 You're welcome bro. I get all my lights from Liteshop.com.au You get warranty and brilliant customer service as well as fast delivery. And if there is anything wrong with the light, they send out a new one when you send it back. Very easy to deal with. Are you in AUS?
@@flashlightcrazy no My friend I watch you All the way from Los Angeles California USA! And I don't think they deliver to the USA do they?? I usually get all my flashlights from Amazon because I get them in 2 days sometimes on the same day!
@@flashlightcrazy what time is it in Australia!!?
Do you have a light on your keys? I’ve been rocking the Rovyvon a3 for awhile and think it’s great.
I don't, but I am currently looking into keychain lights. I believe I made a mistake by not adding that into the must have categories
hey chief, you still carry the t2 tac for self-defence?
I do sometimes yes
Noob question, for walking through the forest is a thrower or a floodlight more suitable?
Honestly depends on what you're intending on seeing. A light more towards flood would probably be more useful, due to the fact it will illuminate a broader area directly in front of you. But if you are intending on searching for things at a distance then a good thrower will offer decent spill anyway so that will work too.
Both!
I did a test of several of my flashlights through the forest and the best beam that i've ever used was coming from the Sofirn if22a. Reason was that it has a TIR lens which what essentially does is to provide a long thrower beam but not too excessive, perfect for illuminating amazingly 50-100m if you'll ever need that much in a forest, and the spill(the peripheral illumination) goes from brighter to darker from inside the hotspot onto the far edges of your vision. The TIR lens has the difference that it's spill doesn't have edges at all it just fades out left and right. This is particularly great in the forest cause you can see everything up close with the spill at a 180 degree angle left and right without the light of the spill being too distracting. On the contrary a regular reflector light will create hard edges in the spill and those hard edges are particuarly annoying when walking through the forest, quite distracting i would say. So with the if22a not only you got a capable thrower(700m) but great peripheral illumination in the forest while doing so. Now this Sofirn may not be the best preserving those high 1800 lumens light with the sft40 so you'll have to look elsewhere for sustained outputs, just make sure that the light will have a TIR lnes, it doesn't have to be the Sofirn if22a, it could be the far more throwing(with a bigger head) Wurkkos td01c that throws 1000meters and can keep the high output for much much longer. The if22a on high it can sustain 1000 lumens for about 10 minutes which is plenty for the forest eitherway. But don't let my thoughts guide you towards the if22a exclusively, what you want is sustained output in the forest so keep searching for a light that can do that but also has a TIR lens similar size to the if22a
What happened to your love of the Thrunite TN12 Pro?
I still love it, my missus has stolen it. Evidently she loves it too
I hesitated between Javelot pro 2 and Nitecore MH40s.
How is your opinion?
I have not reviewed the MH40s yet. But the Javelot pro 2 is very impressive. Great runtime and distance
@@flashlightcrazy Thank you . I like your review.
@@DroneMrPia Thanks mate
Can you add a thrym ring to the weltool t2 tac?
No you cannot
@@flashlightcrazy cheers for this. Would've been the cherry on top if it fit
In home self defence? In Australia? Na jokes aside, I've been tossing up between the x3 and the 3s, I'm a fram hand on a large scale cattle property to put my needs into perspective
X3 would do you better in my opinion. Brighter for longer and reaches way further
I have both. I personally use the X3 for "outdoor self defence". It has significantly higher candela, which is useful in dimly lit conditions outside (streetlights etc.) and at slightly longer distances. I carry it in a man bag on my chest so it is always easy to access. I then use the warrior 3S as my bedside "indoor self defence" torch. It's not quite as blindingly painful for my own eyes off of indoor white walls as the X3 is at night (a positive in my opinion), and in the "tactical" UI configuration (momentary only turbo and strobe) it is a BEAST in fully dark conditions. Blast with turbo / strobe and move, as @flashlightcrazy often talks about. I don't find the candela makes any difference at indoor distances and in complete darkness (i.e. my house at night). The X3 (and all olight tail switches) also does have a tendency to sometimes go to constant on when I'm only after momentary. This isn't an issue outdoors where I intend to blast someone and run, but indoors the momentary flashes of light and moving is more important and so I am a fan of the "tactical" UI the 3S offers. Hope that helped!
No Fenix ?😮
Haha i was so cruel when choosing these lights. It is funny you mention it because I felt dirty not including any Fenix
Spéléologue or mechanics use headlamp and they are not the only ones I do get that you have too much flies in your area
It is like you were talking of thrower but not flood lights ........this is a huge mistake head lamp means hand free and letting my flashlight standing somewhere that I could not adjust instantly ....come on man ..!!!! ...you are an enthousiast but putting to the side headlamp talking of self defense lights ....but no one is working or DIY ever ...
I totally get your point. Head lights and tail standing are very important aspects of having a light.
I'm sure nobody paid for this opinion.
