Hello flashaholics!

I think Olight users deserve their own thread. There are a lot of Olight flashlights covering all type of activities: indoor/outdoor, search&rescue, EDC, tactical, hunting...

I would like to populate this thread with our Olight "fleet", pictures, stories, questions, news etc.

My favorite Olight EDC is S10 L2, for outdoor long range distances I use SR95 (and sometimes SR95S UT), for S&R X6 Marauder or SR96 and for all in one activities the new R40 Seeker. I3S EOS is my key-chain flashlight.

My Olight fleet:

- X6 Marauder
- SR95S UT Intimidator
- SR95 Intimidator
- SR96 Intimidator
- M3X Triton
- R40 Seeker (new)
- M22 Warrior
- M21X Warrior
- M18 Maverik
- S20 L2 Baton
- ST25 Baton (new)
- S15 Baton
- S15 Ti Baton
- M10 Maverik
- S10 L2 Baton
- I3S EOS black
- I3S EOS red (not in picture because of my wife key-chain)

Great collection too kj2 :twothumbs

I am waiting for your ST25 review! My first impression is that ST25 has a narrower spill and hotspot than S15, meaning is a better thrower. At the same time my ST25 sample tint seems to be a little cooler than S15 regular (S15 Ti is neutral/yellowish).

Dimension comparison:

ST25, S15 Ti (extender), S15 (extender), S20, S10

Beautiful tint ven :twothumbs

I wish Olight using Nichia 219 for flashlights, especially for EDC like S series. IMO a perfect EDC would have a good flood and neutral/daylight tint. S series are good flooders but have to be a little bit warmer. At least as S15 Ti tint but not so yellowish. I think Nichia 219, XM-L2 T6 or S6 bins would be a good choice. Think about cooking a barbeque in the night and using a cool white tint. Damn, I don't like bloody steak neither burned one :D

Wow, AbbyY . Impressive collection. I wish you would do a mini review of the R40 Seeker. No one seems to have done one yet. What is beam like? Does it step down? I want one but really would like to know more before i buy. I have i1EOS, i3s EOS, S10, S20, M3X Triton.

AbbyY, nice collection! You seem to have fair number of Olights and Zebralights…. any other collections? ;)

My only Olight is an S20-L2, but that S15 Ti is calling my name.

@Dr.444 - I like ST25 because its driver seems to be more efficient than S15. I mean ST25 has a better autonomy than S15 (for ST25, Olight tested runtime using 2XAA NiMH 1.900mAh). But I don't like a few aspects:
- ST25 is longer and heavier than S15 and can't be used as a 1XAA;
- I find the tail switch useless, but is my personal opinion. I think there are users who like tactical flashlights and the tail switch would be a pro for them. In fact, I consider ST25 is a "tactical" sister of S15 like M18 Maverik for S20 and M10 Maverik for S10;
- In this category I prefer floody flashlights but ST25 is more throwy than floody compared with S15: ST25 has a narrower hotspot and fill than S15. Again I can say ST25 is a kind of M18 and M10;
- Moonlight mode of ST25 (1 lumen) is brighter than S15 (0.5 lumen).

@bgm307 - S40 has almost the same beam pattern as M22 Warrior, a tactical. For my eyes, spill is the same as M22 and the hotspot is slightly larger. But thanks to 26650 battery (4.000mAh), R40 has a great autonomy. It's my all in one favorite flashlight. I don't know anything about stepdown because I haven't a luxmeter. If the stepdown hits, my eyes can't notice. If you can afford, buy R40. It could be a lovely partner for your activities.

@Charles L. - I have 6 Fenix, 5 Armytek (6 soon, Wizzard high CRI is on the way), 3 Eagletac, 2 Nitecore and 2 Niwalker :)

Thanks AbbyY. You talked me into it. Got mine (R40 Seeker) a couple of hours ago. It's a nice light. You were pretty much spot on in your description. Can't wait until dark. ;-)

I have now officially join the Olight family! Just received my Olight Warrior m22 950lm light! Love it! Definitely brighter than my Nitecore Pioneer ea 4a at 860Lm! Both are go lights! But the taclight style, and better on/off button is a plus!

Congratz groutboy_1! M22 is one of the best tactical flashlights.

Wedelpine, you have a lot! You are modest, not your collection :twothumbs
