Quit buying alkaline batteries for anything you care about.

Kestrel was shipping new units out with their alkaline batteries. And they were corroding, ruining a $700 instrument.

Kestrel took care of their customers. But they sent out a press release for everyone to move over to lithium ion AA batteries. They don't rupture and corrode. That was about 7 years ago, if memory serves. And I haven't bought an alkaline battery ever since.

Seems a bit large and heavy to carry while walking or riding a bike

Have you tried any one with a much smaller footprint? I don't need it to light up the world like the one you posted, it's sweet for sure but a tad on the bulky side for me

I carry this for general hunting. It’s tiny but very bright. I have the rechargeable case one.

I just ordered it with the rechargable case

Thanks Again, You the man....

You will like it.

Love it

Ebay says it is waiting to ship, expected arrival date is Oct 6th to 10th

I got a couple of spare batteries too. Between them and the charger case, I’m never without light.

What kind of batteries do they take?

You need to buy from the manufacture?

i carry a Fenix LD12 in my pocket all of the time , my wife has one in her purse

The battery number will be on the one that comes with it. I did get Olight brand. eBay or amazon.

Copy

Surefire G2X is nice for a smaller light or mounted on a rifle. I picked up a few when Midway had them on sale for $50. I've had 2 Streamlights for a full size one, Poly Stinger DS and a regular stinger. The last one I got has a super bright led bulb. I've also had a fenix about the same size as the surefire. All were good and I would definitely get a rechargeable one, was easier than keeping spare batteries and those CR123s get expensive

That little olight is bright! 1200 lumens. May have to get one of those. I have a couple of small LAPG flashlights for pocket carry but that Olight looks smaller and is definitely brighter

I bought a couple after reading your post and a little reseach. First impression is that it is a solid light and quite bright. Thanks for the info.

You will like them.

I do like them, not as bright as my spotlights but way more practical

Thanks again

Did you get it yet? Review it when you get it and use it.

Mine is suppose to be delivered today, I can't wait to try it out.

Got em in yesterday.

I like that one with the recharging case.

Yep, it's very cool looking

Gonna try it out in the morning, from using it around the house it was pretty impressive for the size

If you’re not happy with the Olight you’re hard to please.

I used it yesterday morning

I was impressed, very strong light on normal mode and when I do the double tap the light gets stronger and even more powerful.

I am gonna see how long it will go on a single charge now

Loving it so far, I might get a back up for traveling

Good deal. It’s the most compact and versatile light I’ve ever had and I’m a flashlight nerd.

I’m a flashlight nerd myself. Guess I need to get me one and see what the fuss is about
