I enjoy working with flashlights and seeing what is new on the market. In many cases, as the technology gets more complex, the price of these flashlights continues to go up and up. In some cases, it prices us right out of the light. This is sort of the case with some of the OLIGHT flashlights with the new proximity sensor and lighted switches. The price climbs quickly, but the safety factor is there.

I can't speak for Thrunights warranty stuff. But Olight? They have my business. a friend gave me a pistol light, he lost the quick connect part. I emailed the and asked if I could buy that piece. They sent it free, had it in 2 days. I asked them again if they are SURE? cause I was not original owner. They insisted and said they stand by there product. That impressed me to no end. I already bought 2 lights for my truck, will be buying 4 more soon.
Olight’s customer service is absolutely top-notch!
Hey Brian! Nice to see another video on flashlights put out by You.
There are a lot of great torches out there today, and a few really good Manufacturers. I tend to be a Nitecore fan, but I’m not sure where their focus has been lately? ( No Pun). ThruNite makes some good and affordable lights, but I do not own any.
I just recently took advantage of a sale at Longhorn Tactical, and picked up my first Olight, a Warrior 3S, in black aluminum. I was really impressed by the packaging, and thankful the nice box survived the shipping, despite the LOUSY padded bag Longhorn used! It took awhile to get used to the UI, and I had considered returning it, but now I have to say, it has fast become one of my faves! It has a big distinct hot spot, as you alluded to, and has good reach, and on the higher levels, the spill works out nicely. It is.a really good combo beam performance!
As James commented below, I think the Titanium would be preferable; for its strength and durability. If one didn’t need the distinction of owning this, or the durability, I’d go Aluminum. Just my 2$! 👍✌😊🔦 🇺🇸
I have the Olight warrior 3 s worth every cent
Love it 😊
Very helpul! Thank you!
I notice that ANYthing that has titanium rubbing against anything else also gives that 'gritty' feeling. It's as if it's a really 'dry metal' or something, if that could make any sense. My titanium pens all have that same 'gritty' feeling too... Like nails on a chalkboard.
I usually spray on a few coats of dry lube on the threads, which seems to help a bit. (I find Super Lube Dry Lubricant to be the best, as it is also food-safe - and doesn't stink.)
I carry the thrunite everyday. Not a problem in the pocket. As long as you have the double lock out on.
Is it easy to get out of the lockout mode quickly and easily? My main concern with the TN12 pro is it turning on in my pocket on its own, but I suppose I could just use lockout mode.
I have fenix tk16v2, looking for another with longer throw and still good spill. I'm looking at the nitecore p23i, says it can hold high at 1,500 for 2.5 hours. Do you have any recommendations? also have marauder mini showing up in couple of days.
I hate when reading the Nitecore site that they tell you that either the runtime was tested without the temperature regulator or that it was in lab situations and you should expect different results. You will love the Marauder Mini. I like both lights in this video. IMHO, flashlight companies are getting hosed online about the short "turbo" runtimes and are changing the quality of some lights. If you wait for 6 months or so, there are some changes coming that could make you want new again. You might want to wait if you can.
@@WorkshopAddict
sounds like good news....
thank you.
Has anyone found the side switch on the Thrunite to be too sensitive? Turns on in pocket or bag?
If they would make this with a metal side switch that is slightly indented to prevent accidental activation, it would be near perfect.
Olight has a summer sale going on so I was considering the warrior 3s until I seen it was $100.00 on sale (retail $125.00) if it would have been cheaper I would have gotten it. Then I was considering the warrior 2 mini as it was on sale for $75.00 with an extra battery (retail $110.00) but I don't like that you can't turn off the proximity sensor like you can on the warrior 3s so I decided not to get it. I did get the baton 3 premium edition for $64.00 (retail $99.99) an obulb pro for $23.99 (retail $39.99) the o-hook for $8.00 (retail $10.00) and a magnetic charging cable for $7.00 (retail $12.00) everything came to $108.00 after tax so im pretty happy with that . I also picked up the thrunite tn12 pro for $39.99 on Amazon which is arriving today. Ultimately the thrunite is a better light than the warrior 2 mini and a better bang for your buck than the warrior 3s IMO. Don't get me wrong I still want a warrior 3s and would have got one if it had been on sale for $85.00 but I'm happy I opted for the thrunite and can't wait for it to arrive today 😊
I got the gross camo warrior 3s which I can just change if I want to, but I also got an o-pen and two more flashlights, all for $85 which included tax and shipping. So I had to do the deal. I see many flashlights that could be seen as better if you’re just going to buy one light, but I’m kind of obsessed and I could never really justify olight for the price, but having it so low is great, it’s definitely high quality. But I still carry a ton of random lights. I find myself using a nitecore p20ix the most for my main light, but I usually always have a smaller edc light as well. All I know is that’s kind of my standard to good quality and function and capability, so if I can get something cheaper than it’s $120 price tag, I’ll probably get it, if it’s close to it or above, it better have advantages and if it doesn’t, probably not on my list. Thrunite has great lights, but there might be one day you justify an edc light that isn’t spectacular in any way except for a design and finish that makes it cost over $600. And if you already do that now, there’s no reason not to get an olight. Right now they are $95 for the warrior 3 s. But if you want even brighter, the seeker 3 pro is on sale, even in the limited edition blue, as long as you don’t need a tail switch.
Can the Olight Warrior 3s use a normal battery? Like one that cant be recharged
No and it's a special proprietary battery.
Aluminum has always been lighter than titanium. Not sure why that is surprising to anyone. Aluminum is also a better heat conductor, and which is the reason why the titanium variant of the Olight has less peak lumens due to heat issues compared to aluminum. That said, titanium is stronger than aluminum and will provide improved structural rigidity.
The big reason for the weight differential is the fact that the Olight has a 21700 battery, and the ThruNite has an 18650 battery.
@@KrisCoxso you think the material of the bodies don’t have more to do with it?? 😂
You should check ur camera settings. I've seen both lights on other channels and their cameras do a way better job at capturing the light and beams. Somethings going on where your camera is making the beam look super dark
I agree because I have the tn12pro and it's bright.
The “half-press” of the tail switch takes you to Medium, not Low.
Is this light better than the Fenix PD32 V2?
Better? IMHO, no. It compares well, but the Fenix is a better quality. Each light does some things better than the other.
@@WorkshopAddict Thanks, The PD32 V2 seems to be very well liked. Is the PD32 V2 it noticeably smaller and better for EDC? I'm seeing different diameter readings online for the TN12 pro, so it's hard to know for sure. I do know the PD32 V2 is half an ounce lighter.
The lumens on turbo are 2300 for the OLIGHT
Not for the Titanium model.
Also 1st like 👍
I have the Thrunite tt20, it would turn on while in the pocket and burn my leg often. After a few months, it finally burned up the LED head and it would stay on constantly. Still under warranty, so it gets returned Monday. :)
I already ordered a fenix pd35 v3. I figured for the extra money there had to be extra thermal protection than what thrunite has on its light.
So does the fenix throw light as far as the tn12 pro?
Paying a little bit more?? Paying 2.5X more is a LOT more and it’s not as bright, doesn’t throw as far, turbo mode lasts a piddly 2 min. Thrunite’s 7 min. of Turbo is awesome and perfect for what I do; 2 min. wouldn’t cut it.
That said, I do love O-lights with their magnetic charging and want to get the Baton 3 with battery case. Just got the Thrunite T1S and TN12 Pro though. Great bang for the buck.
That’s all nice and all… until you realize that stated 50,000 hour life rule for a given LED is reduced by HALF after using total rated lumen output over and over on turbo. This is the problem with that most high end light manufacturers are dealing with.
You must understand that when your feeling heat from your flashlight in the palm of your hand on turbo that the internal heat is 2X that where the mpcbc board with led on it is.
Eventually I Will prematurely burn out/ short the electronics or led.
It is safest (longevity) to use a lumen output that can regulate flat output.
This means both the heat is regulated, the battery and the lumen are ALL able to withstand.
Cannot state this enough; turbo is for short blips no longer blips.
I lost respect for o light because of their weapon lights. My agency has actually banned them because of malfunctions under recoil. Surefire, streamlight, and Fenix are the go to.
I’ll take Cloud Defensive or Modlite.
How about a fenix pd35 V3?

What I don’t like is flashlights with a multi function button and you have to cycle through the strobe and other functions to get to the light. On and off is just fine.
I second this. It's stupid. These "tactical" flashlights that NO ONE USES. I'm at the point now where I wont buy one with all that crap on it.
I wish flashlight makers would STOP with the strobe. However both Olight and this Thrunite do a good job of keeping it in the background. 3 quick taps is not something your going to accidentally do, it’s a purposeful function. Also both of these lights fix the cycling through a bunch of modes if you learn how to use the light. Hit the back for max light, press and hold the side switch for lowest output. It’s really the only 2 modes I use. That thrunite really is a good light.
@@robsdeviceunknown absolutely! Wish my truck just did on and off too, non of that going different speeds. 50mph always.
Once you go Emisar / Noctigon you can't really go back to an Olight.
Because??
@@jayytee8062 300% better light for cheaper.
I have the D4S.
It is a nice light with nice tint I picked out.
BUT!!! It is not pocketable using a 26650 diameter sized battery.
@@SloppyPlatypus This answer is incredibly devoid of detail. What makes Emisar and/or Noctigon 300% better than Olight? If you don’t have the time/energy/desire to go into detail yourself, could you at least link to some reviews of the lights you say are so much better, that would demonstrate what you prefer so much?
@@KrisCox if you want to get your feet wet. Just type in "Luxwad D4V2" into youtube.
One is a throat.. Heh
Olight tail caps are flawed, won't operate with certain gloves. Huge fail.
It's a button... I think the gloves are your problem...
@@markburkey6371 no, my gloves aren't the problem. the switch mechanism is the problem. it's not a button like the front button. it must be causing some sort of interference with the switch. I have it on video. the magnetic tail caps are problematic and I am an olight fan. happy to send you the vids.
@@Studat what kind of gloves? I wear gloves 99% of the time and have never had a problem...
@@markburkey6371 under armour gloves, normal gloves. the rear cap can activate automatically if it touches metal so it makes sense. bad design hence why recalled in the US.
@@Studat And every light with the tailswitch that has been produced since the recall has upgraded software that does NOT have this problem. Educate yourself, and quit spreading outdated info.
none - both rubbish!
