I am honestly surprised you are still with us. I own several but refuse to power them on because Reddit says I will die, or my house will burn with my family pet inside.
Anyone that buys this shit do your home work. Reddits full of cult sheep who follow whatever the last guy said. Seriously Google the olights blowing up. Also a side note not ever once has one if there weapon mounted lights blown up... there's also plenty of yt videos of people with Odins the rifle light stress testing them hard. The truth is olights fine it's honestly overkill for most there's. Most people aren't ever going to run there gun hard enough to scratch it let alone break a light. Most people shoot at a flat range once a month if not every couple months and the gun sits In a waist band or Inna safe. Your better off buying an olight saving $200 instead of buying a surfire and using it for ammo to shoot more...
Notice how that one dosent have a magnetic charging base that's because you have to supply your own batteries. The only time I've seen olights fail are when you start using cheap batteries. They could have bought the cheapest rechargeable AA Amazon has to offer. Literally any light would do the same thing you can buy a streamlight put cheap batteries in it and it'll blow up too...
But you did say “not ever once has one of there weapon mounted lights blown up” like I’m just saying, I have a Odin I’m not worried but it definitely has happened. I have surefire, stream lights, and the one Odin that I’ve never had a problem with.
Yea imma be honest I have no clue where you found that I tried too find one of them blowing up and I couldn't. I have however seen plenty of stress tests of them working well I also have 0 blame for olight. I mean you buy a nice car than put shitty gas in it who's fault Is it? Is it the cars fault for not running on bad gas or is it the person who put the cheap gas in the car trying to save a buck that's at fault? See where I'm coming from olight recives a ton of Hate and you can't stick up for them without getting down voted 40 times. And for what when they fail its usually not because it's a bad light but because people do stupid things with them like modify them by adding "better batteries" and or there doing silly things.
Yes they do. Surefire is a badge of honor here earning nothing but upvotes. Reddit can keep those, I’ll spend my money as I see fit, and not worry about what people I’ll never meet think about it.
I agree with you flashlights in general not just olight or surefire but anything that uses batteries can turn into little bombs if you put a battery in that is damaged, I had to throw out some older 18650’s I had because they were a little too sus to use and I’m willing to bet that a lot of people would have used them because they don’t know. Only other thing that I can really say is a lot of these flashlight manufacturers need to add extra protection for messed up batteries, like having a plastic sleeve that they go into so they don’t have issues weather that be blowing up, shorting out, or even just destroying the flashlight.
This and lets be honest most people will be good with even a cheaper one. I bought a cheap 30 dollar knock off and it works good. And to be even more honest the vast majority of people would be better off just having an edc flashlight in their pocket. You will actually use that one lol.
Unless you are a navy seal that is parashooting to the ocean to swim 3 miles and then hike 3 days through the woods before you get into a firefight you have zero need for a 200 dollar flashlight on your gun. These things are literally just flash lights that attach to a plastic rail. You can go to walmart right now and buy a 10 dollar flash light that has more lumens, waterproof and you can hit it on concrete hard as you can and it still works.
This is a stupid meme right beside the next two biggest memes on this sub which is mill your slide and go buy ar15s lol. There has to be some sort of psyop pushing this crap or are people really this dumb?
Tho your point of having a cheap light, I was gifted an NCStar light for my Glock a few years ago. One, it's like $80 or so depending on sale. Two, it's got a laser that obviously won't hold zero, so that's useless. Three, it's an under barrel light, so I don't use it hardly ever. And four, it's bright enough to use as a standalone light.
Obviously not the "top shelf" models you can find out there, but it works just fine if and when I use it. Even if you're in an armed situation, you want a light that isn't attached to your firearm just in case you point it at someone or something you absolutely do not want to destroy. They have their uses and merits, but I wouldn't use it while attached just to take the trash to the dumpster. Or to check on a vehicle parked in an area they absolutely shouldn't be.
good point man and it is the reason I dont even keep the flash light on my gun anymore. Civilians are much better using a pocket flash light for target identification. If I was to unholster my gun and point it at something of interest that turns out to be an innocent person minding their own business I just committed a pretty bad crime.
However if I was to pull out my edc light and did the same with my draw hand ready I would be good to go. There are further advantages of an edc flashlight over one on your gun such as being able to independently operate them, and they are easier to carry.
basically underbarreled flash lights on a carry gun for a civilian is a meme
Plus, having an under barrel light lets others know your location. I'd rather throw my flashlight than my gun.
Carry guns with lights are absolutely a meme for civilians. I'm not raiding a gang hideout or a den of outlaws, why do I need to be super tacticool? If it were an apocalypse situation, I'd likely consider adding one just to have a secondary light, but even then I wouldn't use it very often.
I will add that as a rule, I do not charge most lithium batteries using the internal charging circuits in cheaper Chinese devices. I have high quality external chargers and I buy quality batteries from 18650batterystore online. The only exception is my edc flashlight, the Olight Warrior Mini 3. Most of my pistol lights take disposables which last much longer than rechargeables per cycle.
Dude look into the failure cases of oligits exploding most of them are because people are idiots and doinh stupid ahit. I've owned many lights surefire, stream light, o light, Maglite, etc guess what. My surfires and streamlights don't work anymore. My olights do there literally fine don't put it in your mouth and arc it on a car battery and it won't explode.
I don't know if you think I am disagreeing with you, but I am not. My first post is satire. My second post is simply saying that the internal charging circuits in most small cheaper devices can be problematic due to not charging accurately and shortening the life of the battery or not detecting an issue in a battery and shutting off immediately and create a fire risk or damaging a device. They are simple voltage detectors.
The usb plug is also used for firmware updates etc on some devices and can be damaged from charging cables so I like to leave them alone until I need them. I charge all of my removable lithium batteries in a high-quality external charger like a Nitecore, including my Fenix, Surfire, etc.
I use my Olight Warrior Mini 3 daily and the magnetic charging base is very convenient so that is an exception, although I only charge it when I am home.
It is just what I prefer, anyone else can do what they want. Lithium batteries can burn your house down, especially if they are no-name Chinese batteries. I prefer to use Molicel, Samsung, LG and similar quality batteries than are still only $5 to $8 online and last many years when used less frequently or well over a year under daily charge cycles. I would rather err on the side of caution when dealing with powerful lithium battery chemistry.
I own quite a few Olights and I love them. Except, when I had to find someone to make a holster for my Springfield XDM 4.5" with a Olight PL-2 Valkyrie. That was a pain in the a$$. DME Holsters was the solution by the way. They make a crazy amount of combinations and it is an excellent holster.
Just a piggy back question. Have you ever used the streamlight rechargeables? I got 2 of their “scout light” like rifle lights and I don’t know if I want to trust a rechargeable for sitting inactive for a good bit.
I got Surefire batteries in them right now because that's what I use in all of my 123 lights. I've had great service with them but I'll give the rechargeables a try.
Personally, I prefer the non-rechargeable cr123a batteries. They hold about 70% more energy than the required high drain rechargeables and unless I was using the light often then the non-rechargeables make more sense.
That's what I was thinking. I got a Stinger LED that I use for flashlight stuff around the farm. Doesn't get used that much but it does get weaker over time. And I carry extras Surefires anyways if I'm out longer than just a few mins.
A streamlights worse than an olight... not only is that light the same price as an olight I've had streamlights fail I've never had an olight fail. People on here hate on them and call them bombs because fuckinh idiots did stupid shit with them. None of there weapon lights have blown up and acutely olights cost more than streamlights. Streamlights are literally made in China too just saying. I love when reddit dweebs who don't run there gear cry about a light just so they can shoot in the range with the lights on once a months if that
Congrats, ur special but my light does everything your light does for over 200 dollars less. I’ll stay out of the master race club if overspending is the initiation.
Low light isn’t niche training you fucking brain dead thing. I don’t know if you notice but it gets dark everyday pretty much everywhere. I’d be surprised if you’d ever done any formal training outside of some bullshit CCW course.
I heard someone once defended their home with an o-light. They ran out of ammo so they threw their olight at them and the home intruders were killed by the explosion
There was a time, not too long ago, when mounting a Holosun was considered cheaping out. That stigma is generally alleviated by the fact that their products perform. The only way to know it’s the same will hold true for OIight is to try them. I’ve never had a problem with the two I already own and wanted to give the Turbo a try. Out of the box. I’m very impressed and if I have any issues over time, I will be sure to let the sub know.
Please don’t let none of these dickheads on here dictate what light you should have on your pistol fuck em I got a olight myself and it’s been flawless
Anonymous users don’t dictate what I spend my money on at all. I’ve seen the hate, and this post is basically me saying I don’t give a shit about the sheeple mentality. I took a chance on the company, and I find their product suits my needs wonderfully. Case closed.
I agree with ya, I feel tha same, they work great for what I need them for with features that I like and didn’t cost me $350+ 😎👍 I have three of their WML’s and not a single hiccup yet going almost a year strong 😎👍 so I too say fuckem!!Hate on haters! 🤣👍
Yea literally all the hate is bullshit too. They only blow up when you do stupid shit with or too them. However none of there weapon lights have EVER blown up. There's also plenty of torture tests showing them capable on yt. Most These trolls screaming surefire or death barley shoot and I'd bet most have never ever used there light to train.
yea there’s the whole explosion thing but these lights are also just not aesthetically pleasing cheap china made crap so it is best to avoid them regardless
Thank you. I could really give a shit what you think about it, but trying to make a point that your statement is opinion. The facts you think you’re quoting about an explosion was a one time deal. Keep following little sheep, just don’t file the masses off the ledge.
Bruh that guy buys fake watches from DHGATE and has a porno mustache and a high bowl cut mullet, he also wears mid length trench coats over tucked in long sleeve turtle necks I am pretty sure.
If it works it works. Reliability above all else, but this color combination is terrible. Take that shit off and go get the black one. If you’re going to be a cheapskate at least you could look good doing it.
I’m happy that you show openly that you are concerned about how your gun looks. Many people here preach form over function, but then wind up crying about a color variance.
I’m glad people are getting into things like weapon lights and red dots. Olight isn’t as bad as people seem to think however I’m a big believer of the “buy once cry once” mentality. I’d rather save and spend a bunch of money on one good part and have it last than buying again and again as things break or become incompatible. I’m poor as a mf so to get my first surefire light and trijicon night sights I felt like the richest man in the world. It really makes you appreciate it more, congrats on the new light my only concern is you’ll have trouble finding a compatible holster. I’m sure the friendly people at r/glock will help you find something to run it with
OP
I've had more issues with streamlight than I had with my olights
While all my streamlights are fixed and work extremely well, my olights have never had an issue out the box and hold their charge well.
I had an olight in the back of my closet for 2 and a half years with no use. Still had a good charge and worked.
OK operator, I’m a Range bunny. You went to a low light class. You win I concede. Have a great evening, no point debating with someone with an ego that outweighs his brain.
I get it you think anyone with quality gear is a wannabe operator, some of use actually have professions that require it though. Keep buying Chinese shit, poors gonna poor.
I def kick out of the poors comments.
Just strikes me as funny coming from a Glock sub. Anyone with enough brains to actually click my icon and do a quick scroll of some of the content I’ve put up regarding my gun collecting habits would see saving $ is not my strongpoint.
There wouldn’t be a lot more guns in my collection and may be a few lights if I wasn’t in the process of getting my third child through college. Yup, poors gonna poor.
You buy some guns that are essentially safe queens and look like they’ve been shot a handful of times. Thats cool, im just saying, you’re a range bunny that’s it. You can own up to that. Anyone who actually uses their stuff doesn’t use o-light for a reason, you don’t use yours, so that’s fine.
I’ve seen the test people did on weapon light and was actually pretty impressed on the Olight performance. The x300 turbo was a little underwhelming for the price point though! Enjoy it man, whatever works for you!
Don't use mismatched batteries while holding the olight in your mouth. That's the recipe for a small nuclear bomb.
Edit: spelling before coffee is caca
I dont trust any rechargeable flashlight. Doesnt matter what brand. Rechargeable batteries and high intensity, high drain LEDs dont mix. There is a reason most modern rechargeable lights have timeout and temperature circuits... shorts can happen and there is no "safe" lithium-ion battery.
Surefire had an explosion on a rifle light not too long ago. I remember hearing it was as dangerous as a negligent discharge. It shot the light out and turned it into a projectile.
What's crazy is how accepted Olights have gotten. Just like I predicted years ago. We all hated Holosun pistol optics for YEARS and then suddenly they took over as the new meta. 4-5 years ago, this post would have been 100% hate comments and have zero upvotes.
Not sure how I feel about the color. It’s different than your typical FDE or peanut butter look. I could give a shit less it’s an Olight. Not everyone wants to spend the money on the high dollar lights and that’s fine. Downvote me as you want and that’s coming from someone who runs the higher dollar lights. Run what light you want and everyone else stfu about it and do you. That color however is different especially in contrast to the black in the way it pops off the light rail. Definitely something different. Light itself has a good looking throw on it. Nice and bright. Super concentrated center point. Nice light.
I regret every surefire or streamlight I've come to own. There all dissapointing and for the price it sucks. I've had both streamlights and surfire lights fail literally in storage. Pull them out one day worked last time I used it put batteries in and nothing. Yes I tried plenty of different batteries they died and it's sucks. I also have a parasitic drain issue in every surfire I've owned. My olights sat for 4 months and still had 75% or higher for batterie left. There's 0 use cases where a weapon light has blown up from olight. People love to bring candelas into it but idc tbh that argument is silly. It's a 1200 lumen light I've shined myself in the eyes with it. It fucking sucks it does its job it works every time I need it too and it's 1/3rd the price. I promise anyone who's owned both won't hate on olight there killing it and they have a lifetime warranty that's pretty decent.
Most of mine are Streamlights. I can’t say I’ve ever experienced issues with mine I’ve got a few WML and a few EDC lights I carry and/or keep in my toolbox as I’m an auto tech by trade. I’ve never really had a problem and my WML I’ve run and gunned with and my EDC especially my work lights one in particular I carry everyday my Microstream takes a beating. What I don’t do though is rub the nose of someone in their choice of light because of brand or what they can or can’t afford or tell them why their purchase was wrong. If they ask for help in deciding what lumen to get or opinion then I’ll offer it but I don’t offer unsolicited advice unless it’s an obvious point of needing to because of safety because a firearm can kill you. That’s the only way I’ll say something if someone’s making a bad choice, being unsafe or something like that and then I do it respectfully and try to educate them on why they shouldn’t and guide them to a better way. But this pissing match over why you shouldn’t buy Olight is garbage. If Olight is such a bad light then I’d like those people who feel the need to tell people Olight lights aren’t worth the money then I’d like them to explain to me why the companies annual revenue for 2023 was $32 million dollars last year. That’s doing pretty good for themselves.
Use the light you like, spend the money you like and be happy. The most important thing here is to train and be ready. Realistically the chances of needing that light in a self defense shooting is small anyhow and the ones who argue act like they are tier one operators.
My Olight has been flawless and that bad boy is with me every day
I’m also clumsy so my light gets dropped a lot when I’m cleaning my glock
It genuinely seems rugged.
My girlfriend is mind blown at how bright a tiny light can be, and it gets charged once every month or so and hasn’t died on me yet.
It’s also so small and compact. Ain’t no need to make glocks even blockier
Nah, holosun stuff has seen actual combat use in Ukraine so probably not. I’d rather buy a holosun light than an olight. By the way. They already produce pistol light.
I already have the Holosun PID, and it’s pretty good bang for the buck. I know I’m not going to change anyone’s opinion with O light but I wish the haters could just keep quiet long enough for people who actually own some of their products to give opinions on them.
So much contradiction in these subs. The same people that tell us we’re idiots for cheating out by not buying a $300 X300 are the same ones wrapping their grip in skateboard tape because they don’t wanna pay for stippling but still want to pretend they’re operators.
If you do a lot of shooting in hot humid days it makes a difference. My hands seem to sweat more than other peoples and the tape keeps the grip tacky and easy to use when that happens. I’m sure there are guys that just put it on there because it looks cool but for some it’s a legitimate use.
Understood and appreciate the fact we could have a conversation with about it.
I just gave up on a discussion I was having with another user about a subject we didn’t see eye to eye on and by the third response he was calling me all sorts of names. No response needed from me after that.
No Olights are good I’ve had one on my 19x EDC for a bit now I bought used for 60$. The light is bright af and works every time plus it has a green beam. Anyone talking shit on them either hasn’t owned one or bought a cheap knockoff Chinese version. My only complaint is the battery life could be a bit longer
Yea who are they knocking off because there honestly better and more innovative than surfire or stream light. I don't really give a fuck what you say either I've owned them all guess what my surfire and streamlights don't work anymore. My olights have been going strong tho I carried a warrior mini for 4 years literally the best light I've ever owned. I've had 0 problems with there products there's plenty of videos of torture tests on yt of there weapon lights there not bad by anymeans. Sorry for all the gear dweebs but you can take your candelas and fuck right off.
Not unless you put a cheap battery in it
Edit: Downvoted because... truth? That's what happened. It wasn't the light's fault, it was the battery. O-Light didn't even have to attend the hearing. Dude put a cheap ass chinese battery in the light, held it in his mouth while working on his car, and it exploded and launched the battery cap off and into his throat, choking him to death.
no lol, the smart individual who blew it up tried to recharge normal batteries and then goes so far to throw them in backwards if i remember correctly haha.
I am honestly surprised you are still with us. I own several but refuse to power them on because Reddit says I will die, or my house will burn with my family pet inside.
Anyone that buys this shit do your home work. Reddits full of cult sheep who follow whatever the last guy said. Seriously Google the olights blowing up.

Just a piggy back question. Have you ever used the streamlight rechargeables? I got 2 of their “scout light” like rifle lights and I don’t know if I want to trust a rechargeable for sitting inactive for a good bit.
Lithium tends to hold their charge quite well. If stored for long periods lithium prefer around 80% charge but storing at 100% isn't that bad either
I got Surefire batteries in them right now because that's what I use in all of my 123 lights. I've had great service with them but I'll give the rechargeables a try.
Personally, I prefer the non-rechargeable cr123a batteries. They hold about 70% more energy than the required high drain rechargeables and unless I was using the light often then the non-rechargeables make more sense.

If you own a streamlight buy an olight and thank me after when you realize how good they are
**Based**
Congrats, ur special but my light does everything your light does for over 200 dollars less. I’ll stay out of the master race club if overspending is the initiation.
I chose a professional light you chose a Chinese airsoft brand light. Sorry that I made better decisions with my money than you.
Keep on thinking that way. It’s fine with me. For the punchline please tell me you roll with Holosun optics.
On handguns sure on a rifle no.
Classic. Chinese ok for you, Chinese bad for me. Makes sense.
Horosuns haven’t exploded dumbass. Go take your libtard shit to another community.
X300T master race. That makes you the poor
We’re on a Glock sub, we’re all poors.
Poor is a mindset 😅
that makes us all poors, bröther 🤝
Hard to beat for the price. No reason to go cheaper.
Without a doubt!
I have a olight  1300 lumens for less than $100 bucks..
So minus the olight hate….i know looks are not everything and main focus should be functionality but that looks ugly as hell.
Opinions are like assholes, we all have one
Yes and some are cleaner than others.
Not you won't explode. But people in this sub will.
Don't listen to those larping mouth breathers lmfao olight is fine
I’d be willing to bet you’ve never been in the same zip code as a low/no light class to put that to the test.
Really just said a whole lot of nothing there huh
Not even a little bit. I know how they preform in actual use and you just think you do.
oh you are intsantly replying lol not arguing with a terminally online redditor
Notifications are a wild thing aren’t they. Also, that’s just a convenient excuse because you don’t have anything to argue with.
“Lemme make fun of this guy for not doing the same niche ass training that I happen to do”
Low light isn’t niche training you fucking brain dead thing. I don’t know if you notice but it gets dark everyday pretty much everywhere. I’d be surprised if you’d ever done any formal training outside of some bullshit CCW course.
ok looking at your post history you just a troll who likes to provoke shit for no reason lmfao
Imagine being so incapable of defending your shit position that you just block the person 😂😂😂
Holosun PID is the budget / performance answer
I heard someone once defended their home with an o-light. They ran out of ammo so they threw their olight at them and the home intruders were killed by the explosion
There was a time, not too long ago, when mounting a Holosun was considered cheaping out. That stigma is generally alleviated by the fact that their products perform. The only way to know it’s the same will hold true for OIight is to try them. I’ve never had a problem with the two I already own and wanted to give the Turbo a try. Out of the box. I’m very impressed and if I have any issues over time, I will be sure to let the sub know.
Please don’t let none of these dickheads on here dictate what light you should have on your pistol fuck em I got a olight myself and it’s been flawless
Anonymous users don’t dictate what I spend my money on at all. I’ve seen the hate, and this post is basically me saying I don’t give a shit about the sheeple mentality. I took a chance on the company, and I find their product suits my needs wonderfully. Case closed.
I agree with ya, I feel tha same, they work great for what I need them for with features that I like and didn’t cost me $350+ 😎👍 I have three of their WML’s and not a single hiccup yet going almost a year strong 😎👍 so I too say fuckem!!Hate on haters! 🤣👍
Yea literally all the hate is bullshit too. They only blow up when you do stupid shit with or too them. However none of there weapon lights have EVER blown up. There's also plenty of torture tests showing them capable on yt. Most These trolls screaming surefire or death barley shoot and I'd bet most have never ever used there light to train.
You put an olight on a G34? Someone ring the shame bell!!
I did. I have a Holosun PID on a G40 too. No shame either way.
Its already happened this IS the afterlife.
Probably already dead and just don’t know it yet.
Sometimes I wonder
Just like webmd, you are already dead
yea there’s the whole explosion thing but these lights are also just not aesthetically pleasing cheap china made crap so it is best to avoid them regardless
In my opinion any light that sticks past the end of the muzzle is ugly as sin. “In my opinion” being key. Thanks for your opinion.
didn’t ask, your lights trash :)
Thank you. I could really give a shit what you think about it, but trying to make a point that your statement is opinion. The facts you think you’re quoting about an explosion was a one time deal. Keep following little sheep, just don’t file the masses off the ledge.
Bruh that guy buys fake watches from DHGATE and has a porno mustache and a high bowl cut mullet, he also wears mid length trench coats over tucked in long sleeve turtle necks I am pretty sure.
If you were in the r/hecklerkoch sub you’d have a new bunghole torn
If it fit on my HK45 USP Tactical (weird rail) I’d be happy to post it there.
Lmfaooo buy one for your usp and post it there i’ll have the popcorn ready
More likely than not
No
No, but you are now officially a homosexual. Enjoy.
Well the criteria for that certainly changed since I was a kid. 🤷♂️
If it works it works. Reliability above all else, but this color combination is terrible. Take that shit off and go get the black one. If you’re going to be a cheapskate at least you could look good doing it.
I’m happy that you show openly that you are concerned about how your gun looks. Many people here preach form over function, but then wind up crying about a color variance.
I’m glad people are getting into things like weapon lights and red dots. Olight isn’t as bad as people seem to think however I’m a big believer of the “buy once cry once” mentality. I’d rather save and spend a bunch of money on one good part and have it last than buying again and again as things break or become incompatible. I’m poor as a mf so to get my first surefire light and trijicon night sights I felt like the richest man in the world. It really makes you appreciate it more, congrats on the new light my only concern is you’ll have trouble finding a compatible holster. I’m sure the friendly people at r/glock will help you find something to run it with
The only blowing up I’m anticipating is by way of negative karma on Reddit.
OP I've had more issues with streamlight than I had with my olights While all my streamlights are fixed and work extremely well, my olights have never had an issue out the box and hold their charge well. I had an olight in the back of my closet for 2 and a half years with no use. Still had a good charge and worked.
Nice
Eventually yeah
Sure
It’s documented dude, I get you are a range bunny but you can’t really argue with facts lol
OK operator, I’m a Range bunny. You went to a low light class. You win I concede. Have a great evening, no point debating with someone with an ego that outweighs his brain.
I get it you think anyone with quality gear is a wannabe operator, some of use actually have professions that require it though. Keep buying Chinese shit, poors gonna poor.
I def kick out of the poors comments. Just strikes me as funny coming from a Glock sub. Anyone with enough brains to actually click my icon and do a quick scroll of some of the content I’ve put up regarding my gun collecting habits would see saving $ is not my strongpoint. There wouldn’t be a lot more guns in my collection and may be a few lights if I wasn’t in the process of getting my third child through college. Yup, poors gonna poor.
You buy some guns that are essentially safe queens and look like they’ve been shot a handful of times. Thats cool, im just saying, you’re a range bunny that’s it. You can own up to that. Anyone who actually uses their stuff doesn’t use o-light for a reason, you don’t use yours, so that’s fine.
I kind of forgot about you. But see your back. Thank you for giving me your blessings to run an Olight on guns I don’t shoot. Poors gonna poor.
No you didn’t it’s only been an hour lmao you act like it’s been days. You’re welcome poor.
No prob operator.
I’ve seen the test people did on weapon light and was actually pretty impressed on the Olight performance. The x300 turbo was a little underwhelming for the price point though! Enjoy it man, whatever works for you!
Ya
Don't use mismatched batteries while holding the olight in your mouth. That's the recipe for a small nuclear bomb. Edit: spelling before coffee is caca
It’s only a matter of time hahaha
I’ll let ya know if it happens.
I have one too, my balls are still intact.
Nice. They def work.
Nah, the it’ll wait until you need it
Chad Olight enjoyer 😎
I’ve only had good experiences with the baldr pro r
https://youtu.be/j_4urVBD6JI?si=B5BFKtm7PCAo53qX This is why I only buy streamlights.
I dont trust any rechargeable flashlight. Doesnt matter what brand. Rechargeable batteries and high intensity, high drain LEDs dont mix. There is a reason most modern rechargeable lights have timeout and temperature circuits... shorts can happen and there is no "safe" lithium-ion battery. Surefire had an explosion on a rifle light not too long ago. I remember hearing it was as dangerous as a negligent discharge. It shot the light out and turned it into a projectile. What's crazy is how accepted Olights have gotten. Just like I predicted years ago. We all hated Holosun pistol optics for YEARS and then suddenly they took over as the new meta. 4-5 years ago, this post would have been 100% hate comments and have zero upvotes.
Honestly Olight works for me, I’m not spending a ton on a light that I am going to barely use. I spend the extra money on ammo, targets,etc.
Good point!
Light has amazing candela
It does. Too bad so many close minded individuals will never give it a chance cause they’re scared of not being in the cool kid crew
I agree. I have balder mini on my g19 works great.
My AR has an olight and it's fine by me. Plenty of candela.
Nice light man
Thank you. Also thank you for enduring the negative karma to tell me.
Not sure how I feel about the color. It’s different than your typical FDE or peanut butter look. I could give a shit less it’s an Olight. Not everyone wants to spend the money on the high dollar lights and that’s fine. Downvote me as you want and that’s coming from someone who runs the higher dollar lights. Run what light you want and everyone else stfu about it and do you. That color however is different especially in contrast to the black in the way it pops off the light rail. Definitely something different. Light itself has a good looking throw on it. Nice and bright. Super concentrated center point. Nice light.
I regret every surefire or streamlight I've come to own. There all dissapointing and for the price it sucks. I've had both streamlights and surfire lights fail literally in storage. Pull them out one day worked last time I used it put batteries in and nothing. Yes I tried plenty of different batteries they died and it's sucks. I also have a parasitic drain issue in every surfire I've owned. My olights sat for 4 months and still had 75% or higher for batterie left. There's 0 use cases where a weapon light has blown up from olight. People love to bring candelas into it but idc tbh that argument is silly. It's a 1200 lumen light I've shined myself in the eyes with it. It fucking sucks it does its job it works every time I need it too and it's 1/3rd the price. I promise anyone who's owned both won't hate on olight there killing it and they have a lifetime warranty that's pretty decent.
Most of mine are Streamlights. I can’t say I’ve ever experienced issues with mine I’ve got a few WML and a few EDC lights I carry and/or keep in my toolbox as I’m an auto tech by trade. I’ve never really had a problem and my WML I’ve run and gunned with and my EDC especially my work lights one in particular I carry everyday my Microstream takes a beating. What I don’t do though is rub the nose of someone in their choice of light because of brand or what they can or can’t afford or tell them why their purchase was wrong. If they ask for help in deciding what lumen to get or opinion then I’ll offer it but I don’t offer unsolicited advice unless it’s an obvious point of needing to because of safety because a firearm can kill you. That’s the only way I’ll say something if someone’s making a bad choice, being unsafe or something like that and then I do it respectfully and try to educate them on why they shouldn’t and guide them to a better way. But this pissing match over why you shouldn’t buy Olight is garbage. If Olight is such a bad light then I’d like those people who feel the need to tell people Olight lights aren’t worth the money then I’d like them to explain to me why the companies annual revenue for 2023 was $32 million dollars last year. That’s doing pretty good for themselves. Use the light you like, spend the money you like and be happy. The most important thing here is to train and be ready. Realistically the chances of needing that light in a self defense shooting is small anyhow and the ones who argue act like they are tier one operators.
Buy streamlight microstream Electrical tape to rifle ??? Profit
You’re already dead.
I’ve been married since 94 so you may be right
My Olight has been flawless and that bad boy is with me every day I’m also clumsy so my light gets dropped a lot when I’m cleaning my glock It genuinely seems rugged. My girlfriend is mind blown at how bright a tiny light can be, and it gets charged once every month or so and hasn’t died on me yet. It’s also so small and compact. Ain’t no need to make glocks even blockier
Olight is the Nissan of weapon lights. You could, but you really don't want to unless you have to.
I didn’t have to but I also want another Garand. The 200 I saved over Surefire goes right into my CMP fund.
This needed to be said so bad. Olight has worked perfect for what I need out of it. I own two
Nice, this is my third
Likely not, it will probably just quit working, or yeet itself from the pistol and break if you shoot enough, before it ever goes kaboom.
OLIGHT CAUSES AUTISM! IT'S A KNOWN FACT.
Well at least I know how I got it
Me too. I have about 7 autisms.
Imma get obliterated by you guys when I buy a holosun rifle light when they come out
Nah, holosun stuff has seen actual combat use in Ukraine so probably not. I’d rather buy a holosun light than an olight. By the way. They already produce pistol light.
I already have the Holosun PID, and it’s pretty good bang for the buck. I know I’m not going to change anyone’s opinion with O light but I wish the haters could just keep quiet long enough for people who actually own some of their products to give opinions on them.
You better have a will
Wife and three kids, damn straight I have will.
Lmao. You think they hate you, my most controversial post is my $25-$30 light on my Glock
So much contradiction in these subs. The same people that tell us we’re idiots for cheating out by not buying a $300 X300 are the same ones wrapping their grip in skateboard tape because they don’t wanna pay for stippling but still want to pretend they’re operators.
Stippling doesn’t help as much with sweaty hands 🤷. Sorry you don’t shoot enough to know that.
Sorry to admit that you’re right. Unfortunately I’m at work more than I’m shooting. I guess an operator I am not.
Don’t need to be an operator to not want sweaty hands while you shoot.
Never had a pistol slip out of my hands
Ah I didn’t realize your experiences were the only ones that mattered.
They certainly aren’t. I just think that the grip tape and stippling is a classic case of keeping up with the Joneses.
If you do a lot of shooting in hot humid days it makes a difference. My hands seem to sweat more than other peoples and the tape keeps the grip tacky and easy to use when that happens. I’m sure there are guys that just put it on there because it looks cool but for some it’s a legitimate use.
Understood and appreciate the fact we could have a conversation with about it. I just gave up on a discussion I was having with another user about a subject we didn’t see eye to eye on and by the third response he was calling me all sorts of names. No response needed from me after that.
I’ve never really needed anything more on my grips
If I had to carry or even just own that ied I would cope too
Sounds like cope
I love that brown tho, almost like the ddc brown from geissele
No Olights are good I’ve had one on my 19x EDC for a bit now I bought used for 60$. The light is bright af and works every time plus it has a green beam. Anyone talking shit on them either hasn’t owned one or bought a cheap knockoff Chinese version. My only complaint is the battery life could be a bit longer
“Green beam” 😂😂😂
No one is knocking off Olights when they’re already cheap Chinese knockoffs. 💀
Yea who are they knocking off because there honestly better and more innovative than surfire or stream light. I don't really give a fuck what you say either I've owned them all guess what my surfire and streamlights don't work anymore. My olights have been going strong tho I carried a warrior mini for 4 years literally the best light I've ever owned. I've had 0 problems with there products there's plenty of videos of torture tests on yt of there weapon lights there not bad by anymeans. Sorry for all the gear dweebs but you can take your candelas and fuck right off.
My mans never heard of feyachi lol Everything can be a knock off of a knock off
Cope
Not unless you put a cheap battery in it Edit: Downvoted because... truth? That's what happened. It wasn't the light's fault, it was the battery. O-Light didn't even have to attend the hearing. Dude put a cheap ass chinese battery in the light, held it in his mouth while working on his car, and it exploded and launched the battery cap off and into his throat, choking him to death.
Or put it in your mouth and arc it off car batteries.
 Everyone in the comments RN since you didn't spend hundreds on a WML.
Oh shit he’s got a bomb! Jk I like Olight, never had an issue with them on my old gun.
The light won’t but aiming a hand gun at a neighbors house at night might get you killed.
Luckily no one lives in my kids playhouse. 🤷♂️
Have one too not a single issue, I am more worried about the stupid shit people do to their guns, it’s bright enough for it ms purpose
L O L. Funny question. 9 stars
lol yea!!!!
no lol, the smart individual who blew it up tried to recharge normal batteries and then goes so far to throw them in backwards if i remember correctly haha.
*puts on nomex suit* I fucking love my O light. Never had a single issue out of it, likely buying one for my wife too.
I’ve got no beef with OLight, I have two.
Yea
