Nice review! :+1: I thought about doing video reviews but haven’t tried that idea yet.
It staggers the mind to see that many lumens coming out of that small a package. I’ve seen grown hardened hunters giggle like little kids. Seriously! From Preachers to Cops to Brick Masons and Home Health Care LVN’s, that many lumens astonishes people. DO NOT accidentally turn it on it Turbo while it’s facing your face!!!
Edit: To clarify, the Preacher I’m referring to also runs an exotic game hunting lodge, he’s well versed in high performance lights. Giggled like a little girl. Kid you not!
Matt, do you know if this Olight is battery specific?
The test I just did on my M43 was with Samsung 30Q’s, freshly charged, to get 9,694 lumens. Freshly charged LG HE-4 cells make 10,315.5. Freshly charged LG HE-2 cells make 10,798.5. This is an FET direct drive set-up so it’s cell specific, wondering if the Olight has fluctuation with cells or is it a Buck circuitry that remains stable with virtually any high discharge cell?
I’ve read that there will be X9 supposed to be released next year with more than 10,000 lumens
That’s insane, and I love it. What does that make me? Gotta google it…
OUCH! OK, it’s too much for me. But I do feel desire for it. It’s definitely not a budget light. I’ll wait for the Qlight, it’s much more within my price range.
entertaining review. great light as well. i just wish turbo can be memorized.
the vinh version allows turbo to be memorized but now the cost is way up.
his version with his driver boosted the lumens to over 16k!
nice video!
thanks for sharing your work! :)
blueb8llz, think about that for a minute. I have 3 XHP-70’s in a massive BTU Shocker with that kind of output and it gets HOT! Imagine stuffing them in that small of a light with a direct drive FET driver like I did the Shocker… might possibly be a dangerous scenario! It’ll probably burn your hand in about 30 seconds (maybe even more like 15 seconds!).
I guess I’m getting old. I’m beginning to understand that just because you can does not mean you should. 
(Old enough to know better, young enough to not care… :smiling_imp: )
With great power comes great responsibility! :face_with_monocle:
Great video! Enjoyed that.
9k output but it still has firefly mode. My kind of UI.
:partying_face: Hey thanks. That might be the nicest thing anyone has said to me all week! I wish I had camera skills (and equipment) like Mhanlen does!
I’m actually not sure Dale. I will check into that this evening.
Nice video, enjoyed that, thanks for making it!
I’d love to have that flashlight, but in neutral high CRI (and on a budget of course 
)
Awesome light. Bet its bux though
I saw over $275 when I googled it.
That is about right. For the light only its like $195, if you want the setup with batteries and charger its $275ish.
Very true. Thanks for saving me $300 lol
How long can you use the shocker on turbo before turning down or off?
To the op, do you have a tn36ut? I’m curious to see a showdown since the two are very similar.
I know olight is a profesional e-commerce LED manufacturers while if this sentense ,Boasting 9,000 Lumens from its 3 x Cree XHP70 emitters, is right ,Dose the item will be very hot ?
Its going to be available in the UK soon for £160 i want one
:+1: good job!
Moobibear sky, Olight used thermal protection to pull the output down and let it cool so it won’t burn your hand or cause problems.
This is good in that it won’t hurt you, but it won’t run at 100% for a long time in a warm environment.
