![DRAGON BALL: Sparking! ZERO - Fused Warriors Trailer [BUDOKAI TENKAICHI Series]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/84p4Lvyfyes/mqdefault.jpg)
The magnetic charging tail cap is a huge selling point for me, especially for a flashlight that is a EDC that gets recharged on a regular basis, I've had a few electronic devices get ruined when a cable gets swiped by hand, or I simply wore out the USB connection on a perfectly fine operating phone once, and could no longer use the phone because there was no way to charge the phone, I keep one magnetic charger in my house and one in my car. Also, the magnetic charging tail removes a weak point for dirt, debris, and, and moisture ingress which can definitely be an issue if you take the flashlight on camping trips.
Solid comment
Would have been great to see next to a baton 3 for a size comparison. The majority of us have zero frame of reference with a boss light.
So basically it’s almost same diameter and about 1 finger length longer than the Baton 3
@@Dingdongwitchisdead 👍🏼, thanks!
Half Turbo is what I have wanted on the Warrior Mini forever. You can click it onto a highish setting that isn't going to over heat. I think it's A) a great mode to have and B) AMAZING that it's optional. Now everyone can have what they want.
Good to hear!
Me too
Right! And what people fail to understand is this. Nobody needs 1200+ lumens to walk to do every day tasks. There's people who want to blind people. Get an sft40 with at least 18650/350 battery. Nothing less. If convoy had momentary, and different tailswitches you can buy like weltool either protruding or flat so you can tail stand. I wouldn't buy anything else. They have absolutely every anyone needs. Tons of emitters and hosts. And so many modes in 12 different groups. Plus memory on/off. If you don't have a convoy I would highly recommend one.
Exactly what I was thinking!
Yeah I really wished it had half turbo on the Warrior mini. I just picked one up and am kind of regretting it. I don't need the full 1700 lumens especially since it can only run that for like a minute ugh.
Tempted to get the Warrior Nano
Just the video I was looking for from you. Thanks. Love your content
Awesome, thank you!
You know your video on this made me buy the nano. The magnetic charging is 100% unique to olight we should stop complaining about them switching to USB c and encourage them to develop their own technology charging system
I love the light but just cant stand really cool 6-7K tints. But great product, the quality is there for sure.
As some who used to use 4D Maglites. I don’t get the purpose of flashlights smaller than ones hand. Sure, as a backup loght, but smaller is just stupid otherwise.
I’m an industrial mechanic and carry the tools I need with me in my pocket. Something this small and bright is a huge preference. It takes up less pocket space so I can throw more tools in the same pocket.
You know I was just asking for this light when you were at the Olight tour. Almost everything I wanted. I just want the output of the new PL turbo, and it would be the perfect edc light.
Can't wait to buy!
Really like this light, this light at a nice and neutral 5000K (not green) would be perfect for me.
My Nitecore Ci 4 charge any custon Olight battery. I also bought a few spare 18340 for Baton3 and 4 and 21700 for Seeker 2P, 4P and Baton3ProMax.
Just received my warrior nano today and found your video! I purchased this light to be worn on my bump cap, I work at night in a train yard. Unfortunately after watching your video it seems the clip is not properly set up to be used on a cap. The price of the adapter is only .99 cents but shipping is $5😂😂
Tried to reprogram tail switch as you demonstrate to get full turbo on half press. It doesn't work for both WNs that I have. Also, there's no mention in the manual for reprogramming the tail switch for full turbo. We're some WNs shipped without this feature?
does it work when you swap the heads with the warrior mini 3?
I did a run time test between the warrior nano at 400lumens and a wurkoss fc11 nicchia 519a at 300 lumens with a 1100mah 18350 and the olight came in at about 2:48 hrs versus 1:36 hours for the fc11z
How to access bedside timer switch? Seems not working or not in the manual, as other olights the UI for 3 or 9min switch is tap and hold side switch but it does not work. Any thoughts on this anyone?
Thanks for the video Cheule!
I was waiting for this flashlight for years 🥹
I even gave them the Nano suggestion 😅
Hey, I was wondering if the change of configuration through the charger also changes the momentary Half Turbo to Turbo.
I assume not, but I prefer to ask.
Also, do you have any clue if the WM 1 head fits the WMN body? 😇
Thanks in advance for the video and info provided 🙏🏻🔦
Just like the WM3, when set to full turbo, half press is medium (60 lm)
Thanks for the review! The beamshots outside in the fog show the limits of cold white lights. Unfortunately. The second tree (further away) is not well visible. The cool light is reflected by the fog and blinds ourselves. Neutral white lights work better in these conditions. (To be precise: In fog warm white lights work even better because of the wavelength of light. But since you love cold white I dont want to mention "warm" here.) Neutral white is a big improvement to see in foggy conditions.
For what it’s worth, it’s a myth that blue light scatter more in fog than warm light. This is mainly due to the misconception that fog works the way Raleigh scattering does.
Source: info.midstreamlighting.com/blog/yellow-light-vs-white-light-in-fog
I prefer warm and neutral myself, but cool is fine too.
@@cheule Thanks for the correction and information! It's always good to learn something! Maybe it is only a subjective perception but to me it looks like cool white lights have a bigger blinding effect in fog. Obviously I don't know what's the reason then. Maybe my perception is biased by this idea of "neutral is better"? I don't know. In the linked article car manufacturers are mentioned. They don't use yellow or warm head lights but on the other hand it looks like they stay away from something like 7000k+ (very cool). To me it looks like they are more in the area of 4500k to 6000k (neutral or slightly cool). Only aftermarket led car headlights look very cold white. This might only be individual perception. I don't have data. :-) But if this is correct I'm interested in the reasons for that. :-)
Your reviews are always top notch. This light looks awesome. Im wondering why id get this however already owning a mini seeker 4. I do like tailswitch i dont get on the mini seeker 4. I think the mini seeker 4 has about 600 setting and also the UV.
I get that, the tail switch UI on warrior is really nice. I lean that way.
@cheule coming soon to a theater near you. Warrior Nano pro. With UV , another cool colorway and 300 more lumens!
I like halfpress turbo because I want full press strobe! 🤗
Awesome job with the review. Could you do a super short video comparing the beam to the baton 3?
I’ll do it tomorrow night hopefully.
Thanks for another great review! 👍 I have a question - if you swap the head with a Warrior Mini 3 on to the body of the Warrior Nano, do you still get the proximity sensor / bounceback function? I wonder if that might be the safest deep pocket carry combo . . .
You do. The functionality is in the head.
@@cheule Thanks, appreciate the reply 👍
Anyone know if the make a red filter for this and where to find it?
They kinda kicked the feet out from under the baton series lately... I like this setup more than I like the little charging case for the baby baton.
I totally agree!
The reason for half turbo is to prevent you from accidently blowing out your vision when using in place of a handgun weapon light. As someone who likes to run a external light instead of a attached one, this is a welcome feature.
Indoors, clearing a house for example, turbo will blow out your vision. Ideally you would only half hold the tailswitch, but in moments of stress, you will end up with a full press. blowing out your night vision.
This is good info
Not understanding the clip switch to the bottom? You can do lens up or down from its original position no need to switch.
can you do a size comparison to the Baton 3 the little guy and also a baton 3 pro thanks
have any of U guyz noticed that when put in on high mode (so the one between medium and turbo) and switch the nano of for longer than abouta minute or 2 (i have not jet timed it jet) the memmory setting is lost and it switches back to medium??? (the same outut that is achieved by a half press off the tail cap?) cause mine does that so I'm wondering if that is a design flaw or just a fauly unit
Yes, I noted that in my review. It’s not faulty, it’s by design (for safety).
Oh damn yeah I think I found it at 4:35 a bit unlcear but ok I guess ur wright it is a bummer though
You speak the truth 100% !! Also I would love to see u do an emitter swap on the nano lol I'll be keeping mine stock but u said the wm3 head screws on the nano ? Thay right there will be my emitter swap I wonder how the wm3 does with the nano battery tube 🤔 I'll be trying it lol. Awesome video as always 👌!!
Already done! Will release video Monday, with the lumen/CCT/beam changes
@@cheule You're a beast lol I knew you wouldn't keep the osram for long thats awesome!
Proprietary batteries on a flashlight with a good charging system is fine, not fine if it's a proprietary battery that needs a proprietary charger that has to be removed to charge
its cool that there is a 18350 version of the warrior i suppose. But id rather use something like a ts10 or something that has aux plus nice emitter and a little more interesting design, personally.
I cannot find that pocket clip adaptor anywhere on Olight's site.
Last sale, they added it to your cart if you had purchased a WM3. Hopefully they do this again.
A quick question, does setting to full turbo on tail switch with the wireless charging? Will remember its setting? Example i had it on full turbo, then i changed it to strobe, if i go back to turbo will it be on the full? Or go back to half? Then repeat the process of wireless charging to go full again? Thanks!! And also is this neutral white or cool white tint?
It remembers the setting.
It only comes in CW at launch. Might change later.
I posted a video of swapping the emitter to WW with a 519A.
@@cheule thank you! And thanks to your channel i got some olights and tried the brand and gotta say i love how it looks, feel and the ease of use of the UI, now because of your channel i got a arkfeld UV, arkfeld pro, and now upcoming warrior nano
👍Nice. Love it as a backup 👌😊
20:54 can you please do a video review of that gorgeous 3000k outside compared to the old emitter
I could possibly, but know the SFT40 3000K are very hard to get right now. I only was able to buy 7 total.
BTW you appear to have made a good Warrior mini 2, best of the bunch!
Guilty as charged :)
Don’t no why people would complain u get a usb c charging cord with every flashlight u buy and u get a magnetic charger with every Olight u buy either way ur going to end up with a bunch of charging cords and the magnetic like u said is way easier.
Question.. so now there's 3 small olights with 1200lms. I love the tail switch but take that outta the equation and which would you personally choose... The Baton 3, the seeker 4 mini, or the warrior nano?? And why? Thanks for the vids awesome work and knowledge btw
I’m sorry, I cannot take the tail out of the equation. It’s what *makes* the Warrior line.
Take this for example: I can set the light to ML (which is memorized). Then at any time, I have direct access to ML, 60lm, or 1200lm. This is because the tail is a two stage button.
After the inclusion of the Nano, I’d never look at Baton again.
@@cheule fair enough.. that is cool.. ok so beam pattern between those 3.. which do you prefer and why? Is there a sig diff? If u don't mind me asking
@@bradleymckinney83no
Does the WM3 work with the nano battery tube? Now the ⚙️ in my head are turning lol and if the wm3 works with the nano battery and tube that's a bonus especially if you have both in black.
It does
@@cheule That's awesome I'm definitely getting a black nano so I can have a short wm3..
Thanks for the review. I was interested to hear about the third tailcap option (Full Press = Turbo). During that option, does a Half Press = Half Turbo?
Just like the WM3, when set to full turbo, half press is medium (60 lm)
Thanks mate. @@cheule
Nice Video !!
On the Website they say it has 135 Meters throw but the smaller Baton 3 has 166 Meters so why even buy the Nano?
That’s because of SFT40 vs P9. But the baton lacks the great tail switch. Also I’m likely going to swap the Warrior Nano today, which is much harder on baton line with its pressed bezel.
Ah, now I see the point of the incredible sub lumen moonlight mode. Olight can then claim a runtime of 40 days! In the end of the day it's just another 1200 lumen smallish light of which there are very many good lights already available though this is an addition to the cult of Olight. Although the magnetic proprietary system is good for some kind of professional or regular user, for most users a non-proprietary version would be preferable but it's up to Olight if they don't want the sales of that type of light and it seems that they don't and that's fine as plenty of alternatives from other brands.
Sublumen is all about not waking the wife for a bathroom trip.
@@cheule Yep I need sub lumen if I value my life not for longer runtimes for a longer lifetime!
I rather have no charge port than a type c with a rubber flapper on a light that's not cheap or a really nice wireless charger like everything else these days. On cheaper lights a type c is fine but on a more upscale models I want my light sealed no extra flaps or whatever. Honestly olights charging system is awesome if you don't like it the batteries charge in a slot charger just like any other.
@@cheule Really! Is that it? Then it should be called Sub marriage mode or dicky bladder infection mode etc but oh no, it's a fancy sub lumen. Just knock the wife out with a crenulated bezel, an Olight crenulated bezel. Ok just joshing of course but I can't get much excited about a light mode that attempt to have no light. Or how about getting some night vision goggles for all those night bathroom adventures lol.
@@t5king850r Yes definitely a niche system for those who prefer it such as yourself. I'm quite happy with usb-c as I don't find it a major chore in any way and I don't need any special niche cable or batteries. Each to their own and always good to have choice but why don't Olight just make a normal non-niche light and see how that goes. Works pretty well with the i3e and t models but as soon as you get to the i5r they start messing about with 2.4v batteries that are completely pointless! Nuttso. Anyhow, good luck to all who love their Olights.
I might actually get a Warrior Nano in some other metal that will probably release.
Do you have the DUV for each lower mode?
Slightly greener, about +40 on my sample. I’m going to swap the light and release a video showing the lumen decrease and beam shape change for those considering it.
@cheule bought the baton 3 pro max CW and WW based off your duv not showing green and love it. Love your videos for showing this part.
what about the warrior nano vs new baton 4? How do their beams compare? I was going for the nano until the baton 4 launched. Now undecided.
They’re very similar beams. I would go Baton 4 kit if you’re going to run it stock. If you were going to do an emitter swap, then the nano is interesting.

Where do we get the clip changer?
Last sale, they were automatically added to the store cart for anyone that had bought a Warrior mini. I hope they do the same this time.
9:04 can this also be done with the Warrior Mini 3?
No, half turbo is a brand new Nano only feature.
will and remote switch work with Nano like W3S? thank you
I don’t know, as I don’t have one to test. Let me know if you find out.
@@cheule if you do find out please lets us know that would make me buy a few...
Im not sold on 18350s. You lose 2/3 the capacity from 18650. 14500s hit the same capacity and amps (Vapcell h10) in a narrower package. To me, diameter is the key to pocketability. Like if they put the same features you liked here on the warrior mini youd get more than 2x the runtime and probably feels about the same in pocket? I like the shorter batteries for 90° headlamps as its less weight to bounce around when active (Perun2 mini).
I guess youd lose a chunk of the sustained output if narrower
A majority of American customs are based on the 18350. And I think for good reason.
This nano is very lightweight and diminutive. I’d be surprised if you felt it was “too big.”
Is it possible if you could send me the link to that plastic clip adapter?
They should be available at olight’s store.
@@cheule ya for some reason I can't find them.
I literally have a tool box full of olight chargers 😂
💯
Me too and most of them are defective lol
Ditto
They are So NoN reliable .. the flashlights are .. but chargers neeeeeeeeed a huge quality control upgrade ..
Came to get it off the dang strobe
Maybe this one won’t catch people’s pockets on fire. 👌🏽
Olight keeps doing this, getting so close to perfect on the surface then something breaks it. For me it's the fact that it doesn't carry the Warrior's clean and throwy beam profile and that it's basically 7000k completely ruins it. I have the very nice copper S2R-2 but never use it due to the blue/grey looking beam. I plan to emitter swap it one day hopefully.
Did you see my recent swap video? Solves those issues imo
Isnt the warrior 3s an sft-70 emitter cheule? You called it an sft-40 several times in the video.
I just wanted to clarify in case I'm wrong, or point it out to you in case you were just misspeaking
It is an SFT70. I misspoke a few times in the video. My apologies.
The Warrior 3S is perfect for XHP50.3 swaps!
Great that the P9 is neutral here, good choice
The proprietary batteries are the turning away thing though. Because if the olight company disappeared the batteries would be gone and their flashlights useless.
I'm only getting one because it is part of a zombie bundle I want. Facebook posts about burnt pockets in 3...2...1 ..
I wish they had sent me the zombie one! I’ve never been so bummed.
That's what she said
They ABSOLUTELY should have included the reverse clip bit in the box. They included the carabiner thing with the mini 2s, so why not that thing? Especially when it is listed as 99 cents on the site.
That said, as soon as they come out with colorations other than default and "zombie", I will definitely pick one up.
That's annoying and I just ordered one without ordering the clip .
Too many modes for a real flashlight if you're not a "average user"for the tighswitch. Light press meduim - hard press turbo done no mucking around. All the other nonsesne is front button.
Is there really still no company that comes close or is even better than Zebralight in terms of size/runtime/toughness?!
Dimensions please.
I don’t cover that because it’s on the website. Check here under technical specs: www.olightstore.com/s/0T4H7W
Wow, a Low CRI, 7000k emitter. Shocking!
Olight sticking true to its roots and continuing to ignore what its customers ask for. I wouldn’t expect anything less from Olight!
Actually quite the contrary. I sat with the engineers from Olight and pled with them to switch to Nichia 519a for some of their lights. They said they couldn’t because the bulk of their customers wanted the lumens over tint and CRI.
I believe them too, because when Jackson Lee of jlhawaii808.com sells Hank Wang D4V2s, he says the CW max lumen emitters outsell the warmer high CRI ones by 3:1.
I can't stand hearing people complain about olights batteries and the charging system smh the wireless charging is the best charging system out there I don't want a stupid usb c on my light I rather gave nothing and I charge my olight batteries in one of my slot chargers and use olight batteries in almost all my other lights I don't know what the problem is but putting a USB c on an olight flashlight will be downgrading it smh another rubber flapper to get ripped off and let water in smh...
Battery?😮
I cover it in the review, proprietary 18350.
I really don’t like how you keeping calling it small just say fun size great size even 😮😅😊
Stupid small like the other models much better.
olight needs to update the baton 3 charging case light. not creating new items monthly.
Honestly, with the release of the nano, I wouldn’t ever look at the baton again.
