New Olights

[Ryp]

Just seeing at HKe, that the Olight SR51 got a update to XM-L2.
High Mode: 1080 Lumens / 110mins
Low Mode: 250 Lumens / 10hrs
Strobe: 1080 Lumens / 10 Hz / 3hrs
Max 1080lumens (OTF), 750meters long throw

What's the point of the SR52 now?

Battery-format is different and the SR52 has 3 modes instead of two.
But indeed, the difference are minimal.

But both use three 18650s.

I wonder if it´s just a typo. According to the data at Olights website the SR51 still has the old XM-L U2 diod. I thought that the SR52 was an upgraded and improved version,and was going to replace the SR51(discontinue the SR51). Otherwise if the SR51 has indeed been upgraded, then me to wonder what´s the point with the SR52 being build, since the differences between them are so small?:thinking:

Unless just an idea to clear old stock with upgrade LED but agree very odd,maybe count on peeps not knowing and sell off existing supplies.............

Or just a typo :laughing:

No. SR51 uses 2* 18650

It's listed under 'new arrivals'. So won't expect a typo.

No it doesn't, that's a typo on Olight's website. "6x CR123A or 2x 18650"

You stated both uses 3*18650.

 

[Ryp]

I did state that but you said it uses two, so I found the typo on Olight's website to show you "6x CR123A or 2x 18650".

The info about the SR51 that i found says that it can be run on 6xCR123 batteries using the standard battery magazine and 2x 18650 using the optional battery magazine.

The SR52 can be run on 6x123 batteries or 3x18650 batteries according to Olights website. In Going Gears video from the shot show, Tiffany also says that the SR52 can be run on 3x18650 batteries.

Regarding the possible upgrade of the SR51 to XM-L2 diod, i´ve asked Olight about this. I hope to receive more info regarding if it´s correct or not.

 

[Ryp]

My bad, I just watched Going Gear's video on the SR51 and indeed it can run on either three CR123As or two 18650s. I always assume a light that takes both would have half as many 18650s as CR123As.

I swapped a de-domed XM-L2 into my SR-51, it was a pretty strait forward operation.

No, it's a reverse clicky.

The R40 does not come with a battery? That would be a bummer as I have one on the way.
