Olight x7

Hey everyone. I got a bunch of flashlights, but they are all cheap brands and they are quite unreliable. So I am going to buy a more expensive reliable brand and I'm thinking olight x7 when it comes out.
What do you think?
Or is there any other flashlight with the similar specs you could recommend?
Thanks!

The TN36 comes into mind.

Ah right do you think I should get that or wait? Is olight a better brand?

I would say they are similar. Go to the reviews forums , the descriptions of the guys doing the reviews, and comparisons are great and really help.

Why not TN36 UT? both are supposed to be available in NW tint as well.

Either one is fine. Depends how many lumens you want and how much you are willing to pay. Price is always a factor for some. You can always check out the foursevens maelstrom xm18 which is 15,000 lumens and costs about 2,400USD.

What are you willing to spend? That can help out people in recommending a light for you. Is it just flood and brightness that you are after?

Imalent sa 04 You get 1000 lumens,adjustable tint,and colored leds. Light with it all.

True price is going to be a big deciding factor. But I think both Tn36UT and X7 from olight might cost within 10-25$ price difference. at that point if the shopper is a bit of tint snob then they would have to get Thrunite as they offer both CW and NW tints. That XM18 is a beast, if I had that kind of money I would have purchased that light just for fun.

I'm looking to spend around 200 usd I guess a powerful flood. Yeah it would be cool to own xm18 haha

24500 candela on Olightstore.com and 28500 candela on Olightworld.com

which is the reality and which is science fiction ?

The Niwalker MM25MB is looking like a direct competitor to the X7.
It is priced around $170.00 from what I have seen (may very).
Not quite as brite, but still 7800 lumens. I'll be looking at it and the new Olight.

Lateck,

Its gonna be heavy fully-loaded!

In Olight site they don't specify for how long each mode works. The weight of the Marauder (16.6oz) is with or without the batteries?

That's not too bad if it's uncooled in room temp. The Noctigon Meteor M43 steps down at about 1min 20sec to ~2000 lumens without cooling.

Mode 3 is 3000 lumens for 32 minutes and 1800 for 200 minutes? Niwalker MM25MB has 2700 lumens for 2.5 hours.

I didn't find runtime tests anywhere for the Niwalker. Does it actually stay at 2700 lm for the whole time or does the temperature regulation kick in without cooling? They also state 7600 lumens for 2 hours which of course isn't true.

+1 , it wont sustain 2700lm for 2.5hrs anyway, even if it could handle the heat. Seems exaggerated imo but not worked it out with high capacity cells..........
