OLIGHT vs STREAMLIGHT (HLX, M2R Pro, 2L-X Comparison)

I prefer the beam pattern on the Olight but the HLX gets about 1.5 hours of runtime at 1K lumens. The Olight outs out 1800 but only for a couple minutes.
Streamlight also takes 2x cr123’s which is a huge advantage and peace of mind if away from a charger.
I definitely appreciate the lower settings on Olight but as you stated that’s not really the main purpose of any of these lights.
Grrrrr…love that Olight brightness but the HLX seems more practical and perhaps durable.
I wish you’d compare the medium 400/500 ish lumens settings.

olight uses plastic lenses and cheap components, dont let the marketing fool you streamlight is better.

I was disappointed with how hot the olight got after just a few seconds on turbo, it gets unbearable to the touch

A fireman asked if I had a better light on me than what he had as he was holding his light so his buddy could cut the door off a vehicle that had rolled over. I gave him my Olight M2R Pro and he used it. When he gave it back he said man that thing gets hot! It’s a good light but it does get hot if you use it on the high setting. Overall good light though.

Great review….just what I wanted to know about these lights….a no nonsense approach. Thanks for posting!

I'm upgrading from the HL-X to the M2r Pro. Thank you for making this video! It was nice to see the beam comparisons and them laid out on the table; I can get a feel for how the M2R will compare size wise.

I have the hlx and I don't carry it at work due to the wide lens. I pulled it out of my pocket after about 3 months, and the lens had cracked. I got it repaired for free but had to pay shipping. Not sure how I broke it, I don't remember dropping it immediately before. I now carry a cheap ass (but well made) convoy s2+ with sst40 led. Had it almost a year, I just ordered a couple more in case I ever lose or break this one cause I love it.

OLIGHT IS THE BEST!!

O light seeker 2 pro

Nothing beats a Maglite 6d incandescent

Streamlight for the win.

After only 2 months my warrior x pro failed and chloe at customer service refused to help.I'm out 200 dollars cuz I bought the pressure switch too but I'm glad I had this failure now rather than in a fight since this light was on my go to rifle. I switched back to my 10 year old sure fire that still rocks like a champ but stuck having to replace all my lights on my weapons being I was a huge olight fan and put them on all my rifles and pistols. Olight is not battle ready gear and if u can't trust your gear u already lost the fight so use at your own risk. Me personally I'm tired of seeing people get screwed by companies I'm a little mad at olight, they didn't even try to help even after I asked about paying them to repair it so I could at least use it around the house or camping instead of having a 200 dollar paperweight. I just can't throw it away it's still brand new and the cheap skate in me won't let me. Maybe I can find someone who can put better internals in than what olight used either way shame on you olight!

The Olight is a better choice because if out put, features build quality and affordability. IMO

So which would you mount on a rifle to get a good mix of distance, with enough spill over to not miss someone hiding outside your hot spot?

I have the M2R Pro and its great with all the functions and its 300 meter throw!Videos just really don't do it justice.

A rare comparison! Thank u
