Do you really need a 1,000-lumen rifle light? In this clip, I explain why 600–800 lumens is the true sweet spot for rifle-mounted lights. It gives you enough brightness to clear rooms and ID threats, while preserving battery life for real-world scenarios.
⚡ Even top brands like Streamlight only run ~1 hour at full blast — so finding the balance is key.
💡 Avoid anything under 400 lumens — that’s when you start dipping into dim and dangerous territory.

My argument here is that in a SHTF scenario , where battery quality is super limited. A 600-800 lumen light is the sweet spot for brightness and battery life. What do you think?
The Odin mini on your rifle is 1200 lumens tho…on..your…rifle…
I just fon't like it cus I go blind in the house with 1000L. In the field, i would use a hand held or helmet light deal. In a outdoor fight, nvg and passive, no light
Go for candela folks
500 lumens is good for airsoft gameplay?
Can that still blind your opponent?
The 600 lumens
My 600 lumen light last 10-12 hours but my 3000 lumen light last 25-30 hours brighter and last longer🤷♂️😂
Rather have 1000L with a low and high mode
Hard to listen to anyone running a Olight
Giving light advice with a pristine Olight and a pressure pad with the whole wire just hanging out like a dick in a thong…
What? Blinding lights make dye masks blind 😂 use em for cqb
That’s why I carry extra 18650s on/in my kit, for my ModLite OKW’s
I stock pile batteries like ammo lol
Is this ai?
It depends on the application?? If it’s for home defense, battery run time means absolutely fuckall and it’s objectively better to point the fucking sun at a threat so that they can’t see you.
is this seth green from without a paddle or am i trippin
Total waste of money. You guys are civilians knock it off. Get a home defense shotgun, a hunting shotgun, 2 revolvers and you are set and will not need another firearm ever
six seven reference
My 2,000 lumen streamlight has months without a recharge i use it constantly for hours at a time to train but if ima be 100% with you there is no scenario in the world where you will use your light for anything over than 5-10 minutes on top of if you are doing a long operation which civilians don’t do but we gona talk about it you should have sustainment up to 72 hours that includes food batteries ammo cloths water etc this isn’t to bash on anyone’s knowledge its just to add to it hopefully if you read this you take something away from it
