OLIGHT SR51 ( Picture Heavy )

Absolutely. There should be more side by side 2x18650 lights around.

Olights are good lights. I still like my s35 a lot, even though other 3xaa / 4xaa soda can lights are out now.

Great little general purpose light. Well made, good feel, simple UI, no frills. What you need and nothing more. (If only the tint was more neutral.)

KInda a cross between the old retro lights & the new high tech throwers. Kinda a middle range light. Not a EDC, I guess you could think of it as a intermediate size search light.

MySR51 always tests at about 52K which is very good for an OP reflector. The lumens tends to fall a little short of the listed 900 lumens, I think closer to 850 otf if I remember correctly. Along with the throw, it also has the nicest and widest flood of anything in its class that we own, such as the M3C4, 7G5, HD2010, etc.
It’s an awesome light. The ONLY issue I find with it is a lack of a true low. Would have been nice to have a level under 100 lumens. But it is a SR - search and rescue - marketed light, so I new that when I bought it.

The low isn’t very low ar all. But a firefly mode on a search light prolly wouldnt be recevied well… Lol. I can see the SR51 taking its place as one of my all time favorites.

nice light dale! - strange… it looks like its almost asking to be modded? J)

Great minds think alike. TBH, I wouldn’t want ti mess thebeam profile up. I imagine it could be turned into a total beast. But I wont sacrifice the beam. If I need some longer & brighter? I’ll just reach in the curio. :wink:

I believe if you just changed it to an XM-L2 U2 emitter and did nothing else the beam profile wouldn’t change. I still do not blame you for keeping it stock. The Olight SR51 is a classic and a standard for quality lights.

That dont use battery packs?

Just hold down the blue button. The light cycles itself thru low & high. How did this feature not catch on? Very handy for us lazy folks.

you need a zebralight if you like that electronic switch :slight_smile:

Alas, I have one last light to purchase Friday. Then I’m gonna have to take a hiatus. Mrs D is walking around here looking like a angry Pitbull chewing on hot pine tar. Between trades & purchases I’ve gotten 10 new lights in the last 2 weeks… Time to take a break, in the interest of personal safety.

I am approaching a similar situation myself. It happens….

buy her a hand bag and keep buying lights :slight_smile:

Send a couple dozen lights to me. I’ll keep them warm and comfy. Mrs D will be none the wiser and your ’nads will be safe. :party:

+1 LOL Ya know, in hindsight I should’ve put more thought into buying that curio. It’s far too accessible to her. The major problem is? She likes them & recognizes them. Unlike a wife who could care less. She can pick out the new ones with little to no difficulty. So their will be no ‘jedi mind tricking’ her…

Mrs. D seems like she is pretty cool and into our hobby somewhat so just buy a couple of cool lights just for her. Lol.

Tried that… She has has emposed a flashlight embargo on the kingdom of Dale. But it wont last long.

where do i sign up to be a member of the kingdom of dale?

does that give me access to the “curio” you speak of filled with lights J)

+1 lol

I’m gonna say this is CW… But its very warm. Giving it a bit of a NW look… Anyone elses tint like that?
