    What was the last LED light you purchased and why?

    My absolutely last light pruchase for my own use was a headlight the Nitecore HC90. I'm very impressed with closeup personal map reading red, green or blue LEDs, and the slide switch function on the main XM-L2 emitter with last click turbo for blindingly white light, don't get too close to...

    OLIGHT M2X-UT Javelot(dedomed XM-L2 1020Lm,164kcd)(1x18650/2xCR123A) REVIEW

    Thanks after a few goes I finally got the E & F series to Strobe. The Full press seems to need to be quickly on top of 2nd half press. I had been trying three of every combination, not two and one half. Fantastic- Hate missing out on features of a Flashlight. Regards John Olight SR95-UT...

    Olight M2X-UT Javelot (XM-L2 dedome, 1x18650/2xCR123A) Review: BEAMSHOTS, RUNTIMES+

    My light Meter is not an expensive one but it shows quite a drop in output for the F series M2X-UT which I also have. My E series fully dedomed bare metal and LED shows about 115,000 lux from about one metre. From exactly the same distance and conditions my Thrunite TN32 gave 115,000 lux but...

    Olight M2X-UT Javelot (XM-L2 dedome, 1x18650/2xCR123A) Review: BEAMSHOTS, RUNTIMES+

    I see on another thread on M2X a suggestion that some kind of filter can reduce the green tinge but not reduce the throw. Any thoughts? Olight SR95-UT SBT-70, Fenix TK-70, Thrunite TN32, Olight M2X-UT (both F&E versions), Nitecore EA8, Ultrafire C8, Thrunite Neutron 2a v2, Nitecore HC90, Olight...

    Olight M2X UT JAVELOT...1/2 mile beam?

    I fully recharged my batteries for Thrunite TN32 and both my M2X-UT s. The E serial number completely dedomed bare metal and LED and my F serial number much smaller metal surrounding LED but clear coated over all. Aiming at my white walled target unused house at aprox 700 plus metres across a...

    OLIGHT M2X-UT Javelot(dedomed XM-L2 1020Lm,164kcd)(1x18650/2xCR123A) REVIEW

    I have the E serial number MX2-UT and the later F serial number MX2-UT which has a much smaller metal surround and some kind of clear coating over metal and LED itself. I have not been able to get strobe working on either with 3x full presses or half presses of tail switch. Anyone able to...

    Thrunite Neutron 2A (1xAA/14500 2xAA) and 2C (1xRCR/18650 2xCR123A/RCR) 2014 Review

    I have had my Neutron 2a v2 for some months now and it has superseded my Olight S15. Its massively brighter using Olight 14500 batteries on both flashlights. Like the double click on Thrunite to get turbo, worked a treat in movies the other day when someone had taken our legroom seats, two...

    Olight M2X-UT Javelot (XM-L2 dedome, 1x18650/2xCR123A) Review: BEAMSHOTS, RUNTIMES+

    I recently bought my first M2X-UT and posted my thoughts on this post a week or so ago. Serial Number F02030525. Did not realise it had quite a different LED, which has a much smaller and neater LED base but it definitely has a thin clear coat over metal base and LED. Bought my second M2X-UT...

    What was the last LED light you purchased and why?

    I just bought the Olight M2X-UT Javelot is a Fantastic Ultra thrower 850metres plus at reasonable price, even out reaches my Thrunite TN32, which is over three times the weight, size, & battery capacity, not bad for a humble little 2015 Olight. I had been expecting some surprises in 2015 but...

    Olight M2X UT JAVELOT...1/2 mile beam?

    It just beats my Thrunite TN32 for throw of hotspot and that's saying something!

    Olight M2X-UT Javelot (XM-L2 dedome, 1x18650/2xCR123A) Review: BEAMSHOTS, RUNTIMES+

    Thanks Selfbuilt for another amazing review. I had been watching your recommendations for single 18650 lithium batteries, and noticed a couple of weeks ago a mention of the first manufacturer produced de-domed flashlight which was not part of the famous "vn" modified stable of elite flashlights...

    Olight SR95S-UT (SBT-70) Review: RUNTIMES, OUTDOOR BEAMSHOTS, VIDEO and more!

    Received my Olight SR95S-SBT70 UT 2 hours ago. Only half charged-showing 2 out of 4 green battery lights, but this light is clearly going to be my top Thrower by hundreds of metres. Some quick naked eye 3 metre wall shot comparisons shows the SR95S punching perfectly round solid brighter white...

    Olight SR95S-UT (SBT-70) Review: RUNTIMES, OUTDOOR BEAMSHOTS, VIDEO and more!

    Thanks Selfbuilt, your amazing reviews have been my Flashaholics guide to the Light Throwers' Galaxy. Yet another UT thrower to put beside My Fenix TK70, and excellent Thrunite TN32. Hope the Olight SR95UT (SBT-70) has as user friendly interface as my Thrunite. I find the UI on my Nitecore...

    Thrunite TN32 (XM-L2, 3x18650) "Thrower" Review: RUNTIMES, BEAMSHOTS, VIDEO+

    Re: Thrunite TN32 (XM-L2, 3x18650) "Thrower" Review: RUNTIMES, BEAMSHOTS, VIDEO+ Very Pleased with my Thrunite TN32, great throw, even out throwing my huge Fenix TK70 and the Thrunite is much easier to use. Great outdoors in Aussie bush checking out rabbits & foxes. Very intense central spot...
