Olight Odin Mini Torture Test Vs Streamlight #olight #streamlight #torturetest

I’d say the Olight looks pretty darn tough. I wouldn’t call it a fail for the waterproof test. I believe it’s rated for being waterproof to 10 feet, not 100. I’d say it’s a “pass.”

Good video.

Love my Olights. That being said I also understand they aren't "top of the line". They do the trick & with the amount of money I sunk into my guns along with gunsmithing I think it's ok to go for a slightly cheaper light. Olight is better than none…

Did you try the charger on the Olight, maybe the rechargeable 18500 was the issue 🤔

Any chance the battery was just dead on the olight?

At the end the battery was dead

Fail? Nah you went past the manufactures recommended depth. Didn’t fail thanks for your opinion tho

Fookin' great video.

My guy was shooting .50 in 2020 for science. Legend.

I went with the OLight, the convenience and features on it are too good for the money not to in my opinion. One thing you didn't mention and maybe it wouldn't have made a difference but the magnetic locking tail cap that is used 99% of the time on a rifle set up with the tape switch seems like it may have helped with the water test in the end, just a thought.

Excuse me, can odin mini stand at ninety degrees?? Thank you

I went for the Olight mini with M-lok angled mount version. It looks and works great so far.

Never been a streamlight fan bought 2 streamlights and both failed and they refused to warranty either one just bought the olight Odin mini to put on my 10.5 ar and so far I like it

I've had every olight I own, fail…

I'm going with the olight…my light isn't going to go through that much torture. Thanx for the vid👍👍

Thank you for doing this review. Helped me decide between the two I was ordering. I was going to order the olight before watching this. Placed the order for streamlight for $114 shipped and taxes.

I know this was a video about lights….but that osborne is taking all of my attention

I understand the olight failed based off your tests but to be honest you can't really call it a fail when you exceeded the manufacturer specs by about 33x what it's rated for. Definitely wish the mount would've held up better but I'd say overall I'm not sorry to have just put one on my rifle. Damn impressive on behalf of the streamlight though. Great video.

Interesting, I’ve owned and liked Streamlights for years and was looking for a new AR15 light. I ordered both of the lights you tested a few days ago. I’m sure I’ll be happy with both but in still a Streamlight man.

Olight just need to do a more solid mount it does have a play to it

If this video doesn't earn a sub+like, I don't know what will.

Olight sent these out, got the feedback that those mount bracket screws were backing out so the production ones are loctited from factory

If you drop your rifle as many times as it takes to break the Odin you shouldn’t own a rifle. I like the review and you can’t go wrong with either.

Whats the "vibration " for?

Awesome and great quality content! Do you think the surefire is worth the money? Especially the surefire scout mini.

That loose olight mount is a deal breaker for me, Thanks for this comparison.

streamlight uses an old fashioned standard technology on their tailcap like the olight i6 paladin……..i bet the paladin would pass those tests and a stramlight with a magnetic 2 way tailcapswitch would have water intrusion at this water pressure………that is the reason why i would never buy a flashlight with an micro-usb charger build in, because the micro usb is so fragile…not to mention the unstandartized rubber boot……but batteries with micro-usb are fine……plus the olight switch is more endangered to mechanical failure because of those uncovered mechanical parts of the switch where at the streamlight the switch itself is covered by a rubber cap so no particles can intrude to cause a failure (same with the paladin)……….gravity is stronger in the usa than in china………

Pretty good test. I have a couple of the Olight Odin (full size). The mount is a clever design, but it is certainly a weak point. If it fails beyond repair, I might chuck it up in the lathe, turn the lug off of it and use a regular light mount.

Great vid. Streamlight does a lot of professional flashlights and Olight still learning from other companies, but they have an amazing marketing strategy.

I think under normal use without intentionally beating them to death, both work well. Throw performance-wise, Streamlight ProTac full size wins.

Streamlight all day any day

Great test! Even better rifle!

I really like the Odin Mini but no way am I paying $30-$40 for a mount that should come with the product. They should at least offer the light with your choice of mounts.

A little Gorilla Glue on that OLIGHT mount and you'll be good to go. Great testing !!!

I use Streamlight and Olight. Just have to know the limits for each! Awesome tests!

I would like to comment on the olight but I have been waiting a month after purchase and still not received a ship date. I’m very unhappy with their customer service as well. Stream light on the other hand is super. I should have just stuck with the stream light.

On the olight is the rear supposed to be covered with the tape switch cap? Would that help it survive the 100 ft water test better?

good morning friend, is it normal to overheat this flashlight in a few seconds?

Also The olights batteries dead there at the end. That’s why it was vibrating and only flickering

Oh yeah water definitely went through the tail cap huh

He just doesn’t understand you have to click the olight button real quick. Anything half second or more is momentary lol but the streamlight is certainly better I love all my streamlights

I like the honest review. For the price point -especially if purchased on a 40% off sale, Olight is a decent home defense light. Is it a combat light? No, but for most civilians, it will work just fine. Thanks for doing these tests.

I got an Odin mini to replace my Warrior X on my DDM4V7. Wanted a lighter (See what I did there?) WML and I didn't need all of the candela coming out of the Warrior X for my mission set, wanted greater flood for PID. Am very pleased with the performance so far and I'm glad that I don't need to buy batteries constantly and/or keep taking the battery out to charge it.
