I was going to get the olight but a new holster dies not take olight setup
I've always ran Streamlights and have almost a dozen on different firearms, even EDC a mini with a hat clip. I've never had a problem with any of them except the mini (mainly because I removed the rubber switch cover for easier access to the switch). Great lights.
I just ordered the PL3 Valkyrie off the Black Friday deal, got a free I3 and cool looking box cutter knife for next to nothing by adding it to the deal.
Looking forward to seeing if they hold up. I hear good things about them… we'a see!
When you had them side by side the pl3 was on the 200 lumens setting tho that’s why the TLR was brighter 🫤
I have a PL-3 coming. One thing the TRL has that the PL-3 doesn't, is you can change the battery door/switch on the TRL to use a remote tape switch. I may put my old TRL-1 on a rifle with the tape switch.
Honestly, I'd like to run one of these Olights through a class to see how it holds up. Black Rhino Concealment makes holsters compatable with Olight models
The 1,300 lumen is a lie. The Olight will output 1,300 lumens if you use Olights proprietary battery and even then the 1,300 lumens will run for a minute then the output severely dives down.
Nice olight commercial. Totally did not feel biased with the multiple olight Black Friday sale info.
Calev Joyner disn't get killed by a Streamlight.
That o light sucks it's a 500 lumen light that big lol
So your saying if you want 1 good light get a Streamlight, but if you want a bunch of inferior quality lights buy Olights
Olights are just deceiving specs on a box, they don't put out the candela they advertise and the lumins only last for around a min if that and then drop to around 400 lumins. They are no good, streamlight brand is the standard when it comes to budget and the bottom of the barrel for WML'S
The PL3 does not have that run time. It’s been tested. And Olight regularly lies about their max output. The PL3 runs close to 1300 lumens for about a minute and then drops to 450 lumens. The PL3 isn’t worth the $50 being charged for Black Friday. It’s a pure trash light. Double click to get on high????? Lmfao!!!! Olight again showing that they’re not able to make a quality weapon light. But keep pushing this trash on your viewers and they’ll keep sending you free crap.
I've been running surefire and streamlights since I can remember. My other friends, associates, people I know, who tend to be on the more budget perspectives of the firearms community, buy these often. They said they're good, for a quick solution. I've managed to get them to get better equipment, especially lights. I just kept seeing them , hearing about them, so I bought a few to see what the deal was. Ran them on shotguns, pistols from 22 lr to 10mm auto, and 45 acp, bolt guns from 22lr to 338 lapua , and semi auto rifles from 22lr to 50bmg. And I will honestly say…..budget is what they are. I get not everyone can afford everything. However, when it comes to your gear, equipment, support, etc etc, you NEED to spend the money. You will be relying on these items with your life. Don't set yourself up for failure.
Hi Andy. Hope you have a Happy Thanksgiving.
For $54 right now on sale, it's not a bad price. I seen other vids stating stay away from the PL-3
I almost pulled the trigger but I already own 2 TLR-HL's & the Valkyrie Mini in FDE for my G19X & TP9SFX.
Not falling for their Olight Fan Marketing plan.
Will my pl1 holster fit it? Head diameter, shape the same? Body diameter, length?
The pl1 is the only light from olight thats been reliable, I gave up on them, especially after they introduced tiers for customers. If you want that 54 dollar light…..goodluck, u will never get it
Is olight PL3 rechargeable?
Nice comparison. I've always been a Streamlight fan, but it's hard to ignore the quality & the value you get w/an OLight these days.
Good comparison video. When you look back 20 years and consider what flashlight tech was like…..take a Mag light for example, compared to the small led lithium power lights today, huge improvements.
