Let’s begin part 2 with sort of a challenge initiated internally at Olight…
*above picture is from Olight
Olight Warrior X Specifications
what’s printed at the back of the box
the user manual
below is what Olight sent over
they are so kind to also send 2 optional accessory, 1 x RWX Remote Pressure Switch and 1 x Flashlight Mount
The RWX…
Charging the Warrior X with included 1A MCC charging cable
LED at the magnetic charging turns RED when charging is in progress
and turns GREEN when charging completed
The improved UI tail-switch
Tailcap contact side
head contact spring
Double barrel wall design, also to allow charging to happen with non-proprietary battery
body threading
clip and grip ring design. Unlike the 10 years old M20 Warrior, the grip ring is not screw on, it is hold in place by a second O-ring as you shall see in later image…
Warrior X large heat-sink fins, that 2000 lumens sure generate a lot of heat!
body knurling
blue-colored crenelated bezel, it looks mean…
Neutral White XHP35 LED in Warrior X
A few picture of Warrior X
The 15A ultra high drain 18650 battery included in Warrior X
battery is to be install button-side (positive terminal) face towards the tailcap
to switch the factory installed grip ring + clip to TGR (Tactical Grip Ring), after removing the tailcap, you can push out the grip ring…
and then pull the clip out
see the double o-ring in the picture above, that second o-ring is to secure the grip ring.
after pulling out the clip…
you can install the TGR by slowly sliding it pass the first o-ring and sit it firmly at the second o-ring
and put back the tailcap
A few images of the TGR installed in Warrior X
Compare Warrior X with SureFire C2
and compare to M20 Warrior, M2T, C2
the beam profile
from the above under exposed image, you can see this new Warrior X can definitely out throw Olight M2T.
The measured output
My measured output is different from what manufacturer’s claim, I get a good ~30 minutes in ~1250 lumens before dropping to ~600 lumens, see below runtime chart
The usual disclaimer: I do not claim the above measured lumens as authoritative nor an indication of over/under-stating the number given by manufacturer. It’s calibrated against some known light output (e.g. SureFire, Elzetta, etc.) so take it with a grain of salt and just as a relative reading.
and my measured runtime
For the area highlighted with (1) in the above image, please see the following from the user manual
and
however, no mentioning of that step down to 1250 lumens. According to Olight engineer, the runtime period of that 1200 lumens is dependent on the operating temperature, and the longer it stay at this brightness level, the shorter the total runtime, that is why my total runtime plotted is shorter than what manufacturer quoted.
so there you go. In conclusion, I really like this Warrior X’s fit and finish especially the improved UI, this alone is worth the asking price in my opinion (vibrating power indicator notwithstanding).
