olight O'Pen 2 - the revolutionary lighting pen

Olight makes the highest quality lights I’ve seen and I own over 300 flashlights. I just don’t understand all these bs people are spitting out about Olight. Name me another brand with better quality. I’m not saying this because I like Olights because their tint sucks and they don’t offer NW or HI CRI, which I’ve been trying to get them to do. But just speaking the truth. Quality wise, no other flashlight brand in existence beats Olight.

You would put your Olights up against Zebralights?

If we want to be really unfair, we can include some of the “custom” or “exotic” flashlight scene, just to counter “Quality wise, no other flashlight brand in existence beats Olight”. Scale back your claims, at least say “No brand in existence beats Olight quality at similar price point” or something… and then there’s still the Zebralight problem.

I buy Zebralights for the small size and NW/CRI options and like the unibody design. Zebralight also have the same Olight problem of poor/green tint and I returned a few Zebralights because they were horribly green. In terms of build quality, Zebralight is good but Olight is perfection. Holding a brand new olight out of the box is like the first time I owned a brand new Iphone. That feeling of holding an ultra premium grade luxury item, a perfect piece of art that you marvel at for the first few hours.

While Zebralight has its own unique, customizable UI, I love Olight UI’s simplicity (despite some new models lack moonlight). Olight also makes the most efficient drivers, even more so than Fenix and their output and throw ratings are spot on or conservative. Zebralight and Acebeam lumen specs are usually 15-20% higher than what I actually measure.

H600fc mk4 small review and measurements.

Just briefly tested one H600Fc Mk4 sample, thanks Kaybi. Just like on most frosted ZL’s, output is quite far from specified (1124 lumens measured @30s vs. 1568 advertised). The tint is great with little difference between modes. Tint shift is a non issue thanks to the diffused lens. Efficacy is mediocre. CRI and tint data measured from the hotspot on max mode (H1). Very nice tint (duv 0.0011) at 3983 K. [image] CRI data on M1. Slightly warmer and farther away from BBL but still great (duv 0.…

Of course it’s not an apple to apple comparison because the CCT and CRI are not the same but it’s obvious even if they are the same, the Olight will still be much more efficient. The difference in emitter efficiency is probably 20%

The recent Olight Perun is rated to run 500 lumens for 240mins (4hrs) on an 18650!!! That kind of efficiency is unheard of. Though I will never buy the Perun because of the horrible tint, which I will never use.
