The Fenix maybe. The Olight no. They are tough flashlights, but use proprietary batteries and proprietary charging. The Olight proprietary battery in my experience does not last as many cycles of charging as a standard battery. Plus Olight does not disclose what LED they are using. Would you buy a knife without knowing what kind of blade steel it had or a car without knowing what kind of engine is in it? What is Olight hiding and why?
Everything on the EDC35 is superior in my humble opinion. For a EDC light, not everyone is going to see it that way as a permanently non replaceable battery is a real butt hurt for some people. My question is, if the non replaceable battery is such a big deal, how does that person deal with a non replaceable battery in their cell phone?
True! I don't think it's a deal-breaker, but a $100 flashlight should have a removable battery regardless. Nitecore all the way when it comes to performance & specs.
Because they don't have a choice. If a decent cell phone existed with a replaceable battery, I would pitch my Samsung loyalty in an instant. With flashlights, we still have the option of replaceable batteries, and I refuse to support products that have built in batteries for no discernibly good reason.
I feel like this is a fairly mismatched set of lights to compare. The warrior mini shouldn’t be standing in for the full size warrior, which would atleast be closer in output. The edc35 is a monster compared to the other lights.
Fenix Rules = the most Accurate and Precise Tail switch in an Emergency or tactical situation. Tail standing is overrated. I've tried many Top Brands. I have done Dangerous Security detail in NYC and I Trust & rely on Fenix. ( no affiliation ). "Facts"
The Fenix PD40R version 3 is also a outstanding general purpose EDC light like the EDC 33/35. But it took them three revisions of the rotary switch to get it right. Outstanding light now, in version 3.
Non removable battery from the nitecore 35 is a deal breaker for me! Nitecore if u reading this..."forcing" consumer is not a good business model. Well let's find another similar flashlight that consumer can replace battey.
I have the Cracked Brass Warrior Mini 3 and love it. Its heavy so I dont wear it every day. Most days I carry the Warrior Nano.
The fenix pd36r pro and the Olight seeker 4 would be better choices to step into the ring with the edc35
I could see that! Thanks for the suggestion!!

It would be most informative to know the pricing for each.

Compare those 3 with the Nitecore SRT7i at night and you have your clear winner. So damn bright for a much much longer time and nearly same price...
Comparing 18650’s to 21700’s isn’t really fair

Huh, never thought about it from that angel, thank you for your comment!

It would be better to compare at night out rather than at the table
Much prefer the olight charging
i saw reviewer from china uses edc35 with max light and burn a piece paper on the spot, can it really become a lighter? pun intended.
Yes! it is surprisingly powerful!
@@LonghornTactical can EDC35 reverse charge phone? for emergency case?
EDC35 wins this round
