Review Olight M2R Warrior / / GIF's , Tested Lumens , Runtimes and more

I like the Olights so far for the most part.
I do like a lot of their small lights also.
I don’t think there has been the “perfect” light made yet to be honest , but things are getting closer to it all the time with these lights.

I think you have it backwards, Standard is momentary-constant and Tactical is - Momentary-Stobe with 1500 lumens.

Yea I meant to correct that after I got the review all posted and went back and looked , thanks for reminding me though , will point that out in OP.

No problem. Great light just wished the 1500 lumens was in momentary-constant instead of just momentary-strobe.

Never know they may come out with the M2R-2 or something like that with an upgraded UI in it later.

Something I just learned with the M2R, I had it in my mouth holding it while my hands were full, my tongue touched the magnet and button. I got shocked. I’m not sure if this is an isolated incident with my light only, or all the M2R’s do this.

Anyone care to confirm?
I double dog dare ya :smiley:

I am just wondering if you got a little trickle of saliva down in there somehow that cause a short?

I checked with a Key, a penny and even a piece of Turnigy wire when I did the review , from the center of the switch button to the edge on the outer part beside the button trying to get a short and never did.

I can use anything metal, touching magnet to button and it will turn the light off. Olight Protected battery. Try your tongue

Well with heart rhythm problems and having had a heart attack already , I think I will skip possible shocking for now.

I just tried to get mine to turn off by putting a piece of wire against the outer ring and the tail switch button itself and I cant get mine to go of when it is on . nor get any kind of short when it is turned off either.

EDIT: A wet Q-tip laid across there don’t do anything with the light on or off either one.

Yeah, mine will shock me with the light on or off. Also when I touch/arc the magnet and button. With the light on moonlight, when it shorts it goes to turbo, then BAM, out. It will come back on like normal though

hmmmm……got me scratching my head over this now.

Just a thought (or 2) is the insulator inside the tailcap damaged or rolled on the edge anywhere? and also try putting the end of your finger inside the tube and kind of spin it a bit to see if that may stop the short.

EDIT: Also make sure the plastic wrap on the cell itself is not peeled off on the edges anywhere as that could possibly let contact be made that shouldn’t be inside the light?

Not real sure with the double tube design which way to go to check things.

The insulator is fine, battery is fine. The internal tube just rotates and falls out if I want it too.

That could be the problem with the tube.
It is supposed to have a lip so that it does not come out and only rotates with very little up and down movement at all. On mine I can barely feel the tube move up or down although it moves easily to turn it round inside the outer tube.

That’s interesting! Hmm
I’m on the smartphone. Battery about depleted. Power outage going on. I got out thr MI boxer C4-12 and popped a freshly charged cell in slot 4, then con ected my phone with the charge cable. VIOLA….charging!!

On the inner tube, there’s a groove near the end, like perhaps for an o-ring is my guess. Aside from that I see a spring

I haven’t been able to get mine apart other than the bezel and tailcap so I don’t know for sure what is down in there or how it is supposed to sit……lol

I sent you a PM also.

PM replied
I read Olight glues the threads.
Right now I have no idea the direction to go to resolve it

Yea all my Olights are glued pretty tight , other than a bezel here or there. You can get them apart without damage sometimes , but always a risk of damaging something when you start forcing them apart.

Yeah, I don’t want chance damaging it. The bezel comes right off easy enough without carnage. For the time being I custom cut a sheet of notebook paper for around the inner tube. Worse comes to worse I have some vinyl acetate sheet I can cut to fit as a barrier.

Thanks for your input!
