So this will be sold in red light districts world wide?

huh is that a joke or?

Nope. a lot of knock offs floating around.

It’s a joke regarding the vibration part ;).

Very interesting way of ‘showing’ the remaining battery level.

So the emptier your battery, the more energy the vibration device will use
Sounds like 100% gadget, 0% useful, I would probably find it annoying and even if I was a warrior I’d be afraid that it would interfere with my war, I would very much prefer a common indicator led.

Yes. Just a slight joke as to the vibration feature. It was the cleanest way I could come up with in which to say it.

So it’s also marketed as a weapon mounted light.

What happens when you are aiming, and exactly at the moment when you are pulling the trigger it starts vibrating

Whoa, and the gimmick of the year prize goes to….

X31 · 2018-12-10T10:59:55.000Z

I was hoping that people would react differently… but it seems we all see it as a gimmick
Cant’ blame them for trying new things though…

That’s what it is you couldn’t tell us last night?! Man I was expecting a game changer, not a freaking joke…
Glad we had to wait to hear it from some random n00b 12 hours later.

freeme · 2018-12-10T11:50:21.000Z

It's official. https://translate.google.com/translate?sl=auto&tl=en&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.olightworld.cn%2Fproducts_detail%2FproductId%3D137.html

I’m not the one making the rules…
I wouldn’t tease on something so basic if I wasn’t told to…

EDIT : 2000lms though, and the first magnetic remote button

You are telling 2000 lumen, but neither the battery nor the body can provide 2000 lumen for long time.
On turbo I do not expect different lumen/minute charts than those on Klarus X12GT and Acebeam L16.

How difficult it was for Olight to make this light 20700/21700 compatible?

Virisenox · 2018-12-10T20:07:11.000Z

It it a strange feature? Yeah, but personally I think I’d notice a vibration a lot more easily than a tiny blinking indicator light.

It then depends on how important you think the low voltage indication is:

1) the status of my battery is vital to know immediately at every stage, please remind me often and very noticable: the vibration thing is exactly your COT.

2) a gentle indication of low voltage comes in handy, but it need not dominate my life: you are a led indicator man.

X31 · 2018-12-10T20:57:11.000Z

I never really believed in “tactical” applications…
Like, there are what ? maybe a few hundred people who really work in such situations ?
I’ve always seen this lines of product as gimmicky for the most of them and marketed for mall ninjas

But if I forget this for one minute, and try to see a true tactical application for the Warrior X… well maybe a vibrating low battery indicator would be more adequate and noticeable than a tiny red LED.

EDIT : I might be wrong, or really naive. Yeah, that can be that.

Difficulty is not problem. Rather battery un common. Nice with 18650 but would be much better with 26650. Both these batteries are more common.

mmalive · 2018-12-10T23:55:07.000Z

BTW, I might pick one up for collection. Considering Olight’s CS is really crappy. I guess that is price you pay. Either buy and hope for best. OR get defect and hope Olight CS replies. ooh well great looking light though.

jimF · 2018-12-11T00:12:43.000Z

Where’s the tactical battery quickrelease/reload feature?

wstrachan · 2018-12-11T00:18:47.000Z

Seems interesting although it’s slightly less CD than the Klarus XT12GT in similar form. I wonder how it shows in testing. The price point is certainly troubling at $127.
Too bad it’s not offered in 21700 cell form.

ToyKeeper · 2018-12-11T13:15:47.000Z

The memes practically write themselves.

But instead of taking that low-hanging fruit, this brings to mind something I’ve never understood about mall ninja culture. I always kinda wondered what the appeal was of “tactical” products. Most people seem uninterested, but for those who like it, the level of interest always seemed a little odd to me — like an obsession or a fetish.

Adding vibration doesn’t really alleviate that impression.

This also reminds me vaguely of an old music game called Rez, which came out in 2001 and has been a meme ever since — because it required a special vibrating device in order to play the game as its creator intended. They didn’t use the stock controller’s built-in vibration feature because it was “too weak”, so instead they made a standalone device the players were supposed to put in their pocket or sit on during gameplay.
