I've always kinda liked flashlights.. I didn't know it was a thing until a few weeks ago. I'm a newbie.. (70 year old newbie).. Been watching a bunch of RUclips trying to decide whether to buy a Warrior of some type or the Javelot mini. This was an excellent review of the x4. Maybe one of the best flashlight reviews I've seen. Very professional.
I'm kind of a flashlight nut too and I love o lights products everytime. I got the new seeker 4 for my everyday carry and it's incredible. Buuuuut I got the Warrior 4 to keep on my plate carrier. Since it's so rugged and easy to use. And that's probably the only time I'd ever need strobe mode. It's a fantastic light that does exactly what it's made to do very well.
I just purchased this torch. After watching your video I'm starting to like the torch. My 1st impression is wanted to return it get my money back. Thank you for educational video.
I own several of the Olight tactical lights. The Warrior 3s has been my favorite EDC light for both work, and recreation. I ordered the X4 last night. It looks like it will be a little big for carrying in the hip pocket, but looks like a great light to keep in the truck for when I go camping, hiking, or just exploring. Great video demonstration and comparison. Can't wait to try mine out when it arrives.
The one thing that pulled the warrior x and x pro out of my pocket was the bezel eating the pockets it was replaced with a noctigon kr1 with the w2 led. 1300lumen 100k candela it solved my pocket thrower desire. And it was very cheap.
In my opinion I think Seeker pro 4 is quite good to keep in my truck.For me It's the best choice for camping,hiking,dog walking etc. Strongly recommended ,except you want tactical flashlight.
Wow, Great Light. Gotta say, olight has done a great job with this one. You rarely see the usb port done THIS well. I always thought olights throwers were a tough sell but now that they gave it the SFT70 its definitely worth buying. I think its one of the best looking lights as well, and i think that tailswitch makes it worth putting up with all the other olight quirks. Hope they bring the usb ports to other models as well, i lost my marauder mini charger and now i have to charge it with the 0.5A mcc, a new one costs like 20 bucks : /
That’s a nice light. About time they went usb c. Not that I normally charge the batteries in my lights but it’s nice when you need to and it’s the commonly used usb c. Would also be nice if stopped using proprietary batteries.
Kick azz review of what looks to be a great light! I have the X & X-Pro but never got any of the newer iterations after those. I want the X4 now, though, pretty badly. Lol
Great video! It would’ve been cool to see the lumen test for the medium mode, you only showed regular mode which is low/high beam. Tactical mode is medium/strobe. Great video either way I love this light I think it’ll be my next
Ordered mine already. No regrets. My general purpose EDC light is the Baton 3 Pro Max in Neutral White. The floody beam is still perfect. It just lacks throw, so that's where the Warrior X4 should do an excellent job. The only downsides I see is I'm looking for a tactical light that allows for the Rogers-Surefire flashlight technique -- which requires 1) the solid cigar ring; and 2) you hit the tailswitch with the palm of your non-dominant hand, and it needs to never lock into the on position. I *think* this switch sits too flush with the rear requiring a finger to actuate? We'll see when I get it. Also looking for 100% Keep It Simple momentary only and twist for solid on. This light -- while super cool -- might be relegated to backpack EDC thrower and not EDC tactical light. (I can probably contact O-Light with my feedback and details so they can compete with SureFire and put out a new product I'm wanting! They seem to listen to feedback)
I can say it is a nice light I use it a lot check my property however the joy is kinda short lived because all that power and throw is only for seconds! Long then it starts dropping power as and gets insanely hot…however my Surefire edc2 turbo throws further! And it’s actually wicked bright in that hot spot and it’s not dimming period you getting that power constantly , yep it’s twice the price of the x4 but I trust my Surefire more the light js like a beater for me
Warrior x are just about perfection the only let down is the UI, u need to be able to go from constant ON low mode to momentary turbo then straight back to constant low mode again, instead of it turning off every time you burst turbo, if you actually use the torch you would understand, its fumbley using low as you do most of the time and short burst turbo, I've tryed suggesting this simple but necessary improvement to olight meny times was very disappointed it wasn't added to the x4 it could of been absolute perfection, oh and put the glass breakers back on please
Any beam shot compared with Nitecore MH25 Pro Is p23i better then mh25pro Warrior x4 seems amazing Which one i choose if i had to choose one Long range and soild impact is the key goal
Can you take the MCC charger wire off and add a usbc female Connection in? So you can carry it in your travel bag and just use the same wire that you use for your phone
The only thing i don't like about the magnetic charger is, when I'm cutting iron pipes at work, the little particles get stuck and make the button stop working. I like the magnet there, but i wish the button was somewhere else
I guess they had to come up with another way to switch mode groups since it doesn’t come with a MCC anymore. By the way, does that tail cap still put out 2.75VDC @ 10mA? Made me wonder if metal came on the magnet if it drains power and why not a simple diode to prevent that. I get the tail switch has circuitry for the fast and full press so its needed power from the driver side.
After its initial drop, would you say the X4 sustains as well as the Thrunite Catapult Pro? I know the Catapult will out-throw it, but would the X4 outpace or at least match the Catapult on sustained output?
For that info, i'd point you to my friend's review site, tgreviews.com . He does excellent runtime graphs for everything. I know his review of the Warrior X is imminent.
It was my understanding that this flashlight’s USB-C port could be used as a power bank to charge external devices but when I connect it to my iPhone 15 Pro Max, an error message appears on the phone screen indicating the charging source (Warrior X4) uses too much power and therefore will not charge the iPhone, at all. When I connect the flashlight to my 11” iPad Pro (4th gen), the red light beside the flashlight’s charging port illuminates but the iPad does not respond to the charging source, at all. Can the X4 actually be used as a power bank to charge external devices? or do I have a defective flashlight?
I don't think the Warrior X 4 has power bank features. I just tried a USB-C to lightning cable and my iPhone didn't see a charge source. I also checked the Olight website an saw no mention of the feature.
@@cheule I think I was confusing the power bank feature of the new Baton 4 Premium (charging case) bc I bought that one and the Warrior X4 at the same time after watching hours of promotional and instructional videos describing the features of each. As an aside, after reading comments beneath various X4 videos, I can confirm that the Thyrm Switchback DF (Dual Fuel) tactical ring and pocket clip combo accessory that I had installed on my Surefire DFT Fury Tactical 18650-powered flashlight DOES fit perfectly on the Olight Warrior X4 (once the Olight’s tactical grip ring is removed), despite the Olight utilizing the larger diameter 21700 battery in the X4. Additionally, if you disregard the resulting redundancy, the X4 with the Thyrm DF-specific Switchback installed will STILL snap securely into the X4’s factory belt holster with the tactical ring facing outward and the pocket clip facing inward, nesting into the holster’s concave channel where the flashlight is meant to rest while holstered. However, since both the Thyrm Switchback AND the X4’s factory holster each have an integrated belt/pocket clip, using the factory holster becomes redundant and therefore, arguably, unnecessary. I hope your viewers will find this information useful. Cheers!
I'm so sick and delirious I forgot to include that part in the review. I shot it and everything. Ugh. I think it's a great holster. I'll upload the clip separately I guess.
I wouldn't mind the magnetic charging so much of they were universal. I have 4 different olight products and they use three different magnetic chargers. The other two will repel what they don't belong to. This mean to use my devices I need to manage 3 separate freakin cords for three separate devices. Kind of a serious PIA. I spent $30 on a flashlight from AliExpress awhile ago. Can't remember the brand, but this thing can throw 3 or 4 football fields on half a dang charge. The cerakote is incredible and durable. And that beam is as tight as a... *insert 90's joke here*. You sound old enough that you maybe could have been there.
"eyes always on to the next thing" same as EV drivers. They SAY they're being "green" but they just as quickly throw away a whole car to buy the new one rather than replace the battery that they used to talk a good game about being able to do when they first got it. Defeating the whole purpose of being renewable.
Would have been nice to see the seeker 4 vs the warrior 4 to show the purpose of each relatively - this is mostly absent from yt. Just feedback, not a complaint, and we've not got to the end, so may even be in there and I don't know yet? :-D
ive got x3 let me tell you none of those lights got 600m range .. i mean light may get there but it is not useable max distance of useable light from those is no more then 200m i feel like saying 600m is a bit of a scam
yeah well thats ansi range for you. Just kind of the standard the industry came up with. I usually take the ansi range and divide it by 3, that gives you a realistic number
@mikeenslin3009 Well said. @tomg224 The ANSI formula is to first measure candela, then multiply the candela by 4, then square root it to get the throw in meters. This may not seem usable to you because of what type of objects you are looking for. If you look for something large and white (like a lighthouse or water tower) you can easily exceed ANSI with most lights.
@cheule omg just got notice about disrespectful comments lol come on olight .... I know how it work and tested its cool I'm not moaning I'm happy with my light but it's good maaaaybe up to 200m and up to 150m really good I love my x3 so as mini3 and mini before that :) I'm not trying to hate olight you bastards I think I've bought like 8 warriors mini for gifts :)
Is there much force required to unscrew the USB-C cover? Some folks with poor wrist mobility have struggled with uncrewing the cover on a Fenix TK20R UE.
Im unsure. I've avoided the Warrior X line until now. They seemed unimpressive to me (having lots of long range throwers in my collection). I'm glad to be proven wrong!
The mh25 pro has a really nice led, its round which is unique and its real bright. But the warrior x is a better light overall id say. The tailswitch and ergonomics are way better imo.
The mh25 pro has a very impressive led but thats really all it has going for it. This is a better light overall id say, The tailswitch is amazing and i think it makes more sense on a light like that. But if you are looking for a light with a round emitter and dont want a light with a tailswitch the mh25 pro is the way to go I think the mh12pro makes more sense, the led is a lot more impressive in that small form factor. You still get 60k cd in that and the same lumens.
@@mikeenslin3009 I hear you and I have the mh12 pro. great light but the green tint is a little off putting. The MH25 pro has more usable modes, high candela and higher lumens than the olight. Might have to get them both and test them out.
I think the UI would be better if you could access strobe with double tap so you will have all 3 levels readily available. Interesting how these 3 guys really gave a fuck when you light up the street.
Has a neighbor ever asked you why you shine a light at their house all the time? Thanks for the review as always dude, love how comprehensive they are. @@cheule
I say no to hard rubbers. all that means is age = sticky melty BS. Buttons are barely tolerable as it is and are necessary evils but I try not to seek out rubber touch anything whenever possible.
I belive the mcr2 chargers do this anyway... They fast charge to 90% in like 2 hours then the light will go green to say its fully charged, then it will trickle charge the final 10% over another hour. I personally find it anoying as you can only be sure it's over 90% when the light goes green, then need to guess when it's 100%
Your video talked way too much. Olight should put USB-C connector to charging brick but they still didn’t. You had to buy extra charging cable to have that option.
Part of the same EU law that is forcing the likes of Apple and Olight to finally include USB-C, also pushes to not include extra transformers because of all the mountains of eWaste it has created. As far as the style of video, that’s what the vast majority of my audience has asked for. I tried a 5-20 min format for a while and year ago, and the fans hated it.
I've always kinda liked flashlights.. I didn't know it was a thing until a few weeks ago. I'm a newbie.. (70 year old newbie)..

Just got the warrior x4 after a lifetime of using streamlight. I’ll let you know how olight compares 👍

Great review lad. You certainly know how to produce a fantastic torch review. Love the beam shots and the aerial view. Well done thanks.
Thank you kindly
I have the Warrior X Pro, and the Warrior X3 felt very undewhelming to me. But this light actually feels like a meaninful upgrade. Good video!
The USB-C charging has convinced me to finally buy the Warrior X
This is a great thrower. I really like it.
Nice demo. Love the beam shots. It would also be interesting to see the Warrior 4 up against the Nitecore MH25 Pro.

I don't want to get in an NDA trouble, but lets just say that "outlook good" for your query.
That’s a nice light.

@14:03 It freaked me out hearing the "No it doesn't." Was not expecting another voice! haha
My little helper next to me!
Great to see the differences. In essence, if you want more throw, you have to get the bigger light...
Oh thanks

I think knuckleheads in the street call for SR32 beam shots.
I’m almost that mean.

Is p23i better then mh25pro
Warrior x4 seems amazing
Which one i choose if i had to choose one
Long range and soild impact is the key goal
I’m sorry I have so few Nitecore products to compare. But the Warrior X 4 is very impressive-I doubt you could do better to be honest.
@@cheule much appreciate that....
Call me crazy.. the older Warrior X pro looks more aggressive, fun to hold. This just has the newest tech.
Aesthetics aside, I like the new USB-C, better focused beam, and great holster.
Can you take the MCC charger wire off and add a usbc female Connection in? So you can carry it in your travel bag and just use the same wire that you use for your phone
You can charge via MCC or USB-C. Either.
Just talking over all take the MCC charger, remove The Wire and add USBC female connection for all of the flashlight.
The only thing i don't like about the magnetic charger is, when I'm cutting iron pipes at work, the little particles get stuck and make the button stop working. I like the magnet there, but i wish the button was somewhere else
Olight claims that the new button won’t allow the particles to get inside. They claim you can just blow/wipe the tail off now.
@@cheule wow! guess i gotta buy it
I’m thinking about getting this light or instead getting the marauder mini? Which light would you recommend?
This light is a much more powerful thrower, but that’s all it does. The marauder mini is a Jack of all trades.
In my opinion living in Chicago SS 16:55 the Strobe feature on my flashlight is definitely a self defense deterrent.
Yea, but it can mess up your own vision when you're trying to aim
got mine in the camo. super happy with it
I guess they had to come up with another way to switch mode groups since it doesn’t come with a MCC anymore. By the way, does that tail cap still put out 2.75VDC @ 10mA?

I get the tail switch has circuitry for the fast and full press so its needed power from the driver side.
I like their lights but would be great if they give us more functions. They get kinda burning.
I actually think the simplicity of the UI is a strength for a thrower like this.
As a duty light, I tried the seeker pro4 and it was too complicated. I went back to my OG warrior X.
This might the time to upgrade!
After its initial drop, would you say the X4 sustains as well as the Thrunite Catapult Pro? I know the Catapult will out-throw it, but would the X4 outpace or at least match the Catapult on sustained output?

Whats better I’m deciding between this and warrior 3s?
Warrior 3S is multiuse flashlight, this is a dedicated thrower-for illuminating far objects.

Very impressive!
What camera do you use?
I use a BMPCC 6K and an iPhone 12 Pro for most of my work. On the iPhone I used Filmic Pro software for LUT.
Does the tactical grip ring rotate, or does it stay fixed?
Rotates with force, but does not spin easily.
How long is it going to take flashlight designers to realize round flashlights roll away from you if you drop or have them knocked from your hand?
It would be very cool if you could charge both ways at once
I am sure you know by now that there actually is a difference in charging usb/c vs MMC! 3.5 vs 5.5 MMC
I've narrowed down my shopping to the Warrior x4 and the Wurkkos td01c. Big price difference. Do u have an opinion?
If they had a low medium and high i would buy 5 but with only a medum and high i cant even make myself buy 1
Absolutely love it 👍👌🤗😊
Thank you! Cheers!
"eyes always on to the next thing" same as EV drivers. They SAY they're being "green" but they just as quickly throw away a whole car to buy the new one rather than replace the battery that they used to talk a good game about being able to do when they first got it. Defeating the whole purpose of being renewable.
At least I have introspective about it, right? 😂
Is it better than the Seeker 4 pro?
Totally different light. This is a tail switch thrower. The seeker 4 is a sideswitch flooder.
Would have been nice to see the seeker 4 vs the warrior 4 to show the purpose of each relatively - this is mostly absent from yt. Just feedback, not a complaint, and we've not got to the end, so may even be in there and I don't know yet? :-D
great review, im thinking about this or Fenix PD40R v3. thoughts?
can you still insert the x3's tactical ring on the x4?
Yes you can
So no pocket clip 🤔
Comes with a very good holster which doubles as a clip. Check out my addendum video.
I have the old one looks like I need to step up
ive got x3 let me tell you none of those lights got 600m range .. i mean light may get there but it is not useable max distance of useable light from those is no more then 200m i feel like saying 600m is a bit of a scam

@cheule for this light application there is 0.1% of use at distance of 500m because you can see shit.
@cheule omg just got notice about disrespectful comments lol come on olight ....
I know how it work and tested its cool I'm not moaning I'm happy with my light but it's good maaaaybe up to 200m and up to 150m really good I love my x3 so as mini3 and mini before that :) I'm not trying to hate olight you bastards I think I've bought like 8 warriors mini for gifts :)
Tactical mode should be turbo and strobe, not medium and strobe. Olight missed a trick there.
You make a valid point. Thankfully it is very easy to swap modes in the field.
Is there much force required to unscrew the USB-C cover? Some folks with poor wrist mobility have struggled with uncrewing the cover on a Fenix TK20R UE.
No, it’s a very mild detent.
Will not buy another o light with magnetic tail switch. As a welder the grinding dust got into the switch,and the light is junk.
The redesigned tail button is supposed to address this issue.
Will the warrior ring from the warrior X3 still fit on it?
Im unsure. I've avoided the Warrior X line until now. They seemed unimpressive to me (having lots of long range throwers in my collection). I'm glad to be proven wrong!

Would like to see them put a setting on the lights that you can charge up to 80 or 85 or 90% So that will help save your battery life And long-term.
I just do that in my SkyRC charger, or I run the light down to 3 out of 4 bars before I shelve it.
I belive the mcr2 chargers do this anyway... They fast charge to 90% in like 2 hours then the light will go green to say its fully charged, then it will trickle charge the final 10% over another hour.

Sounds like you have seen my channel much? I review all sorts of brands, and am not an Olight fan per se.

I have no doubt Olight flashlights are top notch. But it's price is too high (any Olight) for a chinese made product. Just my opinion.
Remember that Apple products are made in China too. I just say that to say some very well made things are made in China, and Olight is well made.
Apple. Where people self delete at Foxconn plants. Nice comparison!
Your video talked way too much. Olight should put USB-C connector to charging brick but they still didn’t. You had to buy extra charging cable to have that option.
Part of the same EU law that is forcing the likes of Apple and Olight to finally include USB-C, also pushes to not include extra transformers because of all the mountains of eWaste it has created.
As far as the style of video, that’s what the vast majority of my audience has asked for. I tried a 5-20 min format for a while and year ago, and the fans hated it.
