I think it’s excellent for “workshop” or indoor use. Pretty floody for up close work, and the strapless dimming to get the output dialed in correctly while at close range.

I love the hard case on the Javolt mini. The Javolt mini is one of my favorites because I do bridge work and to see something far away while staying clear is key for me.

Wow you seriously just answered everything i really needed to know about the seeker 4 honestly i wasn't going to buy it without knowing everything you just said thank you somuch!!

Thanks for watching!

Great review as always. Thank you for covering it. I have a question as per on Olight’s website their spec on color temperature is as follows, “Enjoy the flexibility of selecting between two different color temperatures, CW (5700K~7000K) or NW (4000K~5000K), for your preferred lighting experience.” When you tested yours, was it the neutral white and why such a tolerance or variance listed in the spec as it’s confusing. Thank you for researching this and getting back to us on it.

Wow, what a nice upgrade! The Seeker 3 Pro has been my goto for gifts and everyone that has received them really liked them.

I wish they had done a double tap into turbo to unlock instead of the long press. In a pocket or a bag it seems much more likely to lean against something and have an accidental long press / much less likely to have an accidental double tap. Plus that is already standard to turn on in turbo. Either way they did a great job with this one.

I don't get why they didn't use a high cri emitter????? Another thing i hate is they only give a neutral option in 1 color?? I was going to get a baton 3 pro max in green but no there's no neutral choice in green.

I'm shocked that Olight have actually used a nice tint, that's a very positive change, I think the H2R NW was the last time I saw a very nice tint from Olight. I also think Olight has completely missed the point about why we want standard charging ports. This is a really nice holster design of course but the majority of us don't normally use holsters for our lights and this thing is much bigger than an MCC cable so it's no more convenient. It's clearly a step in the right direction at least. I won't be getting one though because I have lots of good lights in it's class already and Olight has kind of turned me off with their marketing and pay-walling lately.

Can anyone comment on the quality/durability of the “rubberized” grip material used in the seeker flashlights? I don’t know if anyone remembers the Oxo grips used in kitchen utensils but after a few years of use, it would get sticky and leave a nasty black residue on anything it touched. I have bad use flashlights going back to 2010 so long-term quality is something I appreciate. Thanks.

@cheule

10 ай бұрын

I 100% think this would happen over years (meaning the grips would oxidize and turn brittle or sticky). However, if your buying a light for daily use (not collecting), you’re likely to wear it out, break it, or lose it long before the rubber turns. Or heck, Seeker 5, ammirite?

Delivered: a standard way to charge the light... if you bring the proprietary holster with you, that has the proprietary charging mechanism built into it. So now instead of remembering to bring a little charge cable along you have the option of bringing a heavy holster instead. Options though. I think what people were probably after was standard charging _in the light itself_ 🤣 Will be interested to see the full reviews for sure though.

Personally I think the holster charging is way better functionally than inside the light due to dumb rubber flaps getting janky and making it less waterproof. Who needs it anyway, and it still has wireless charging in the light itself. Its a win win win.

Actually your mistaken. You don’t need the holster. This Olight features the same magnetic charging as other Olights. The charging holster is just another option of charging.

I think my point has been misunderstood slightly. Oight's claim that it has "delivered a standard way of charging" I interpret as "all you need is a regular usb C cable and you're good to go", This isn't the case here though. Option 1) use the MCC = proprietary, Option 2) use a standard regular old usb C cable... but you need the proprietary holster to plug it in to! I know that will be a deal breaker for some. (Not me though).

@@breadyegg yeah in that case, for sure. It is kinda weird to have have “standard” charging blocked the need to use a proprietary holster to utilize that “standard” charging. In that case I guess it would made sense for just allowing the holster to charge through the proprietary Olight charger. Heck it would have been much easier to have a hole in the holster to let a Olight charger just directly hit the light 😂

I have the seeker 2 pro and seeker 3 pro and still prefer the seeker 2 pro. I find it holds turbo longer and has better throw. I can't see a difference in the lumen between the 2 and the 3 so 400 lumens in my opinion won't be noticeable. I will wait for the 5 😊

Some cool stuff with the holster there. Still, have to admit, the seeker series has never made sense to me. I had a seeker 3 pro because i got it in a bundle and the performance for the size is just nothing special at all. Sure 4600 Lumen is a lot but its pretty much just a flooder and if you want that there are much better lights in that size. I mean id argue in olights own lineup the warrior mini or normal warrior 3 destroy this light, i dont see why people buy it. And looking at other manufactures, nitecore has a light that is MUCH smaller with 3000 Lumens, a round emitter and 60k cd. Id bet its much cheaper too

Lol breezed over very, quickly when saying proprietary battery, and it has to be in the gimmicky case to use USB-C charging, isn’t that still considered proprietary?

@cheule

I guess that’s entirely up to you to decide. I think this is a step in the right direction however. Another interesting fact about the proprietary batteries is that it allows them to use the body tube as signal, that’s how they accomplish the Auto Unlock and magnetic charging.

i think its a good solution. You get the usb C port so that makes it a lot more practical plus a nice holster. Usb C port on the host comes with its own potential issues and just giving people the magnetic charging cable will mean they have to carry an extra cable with them, this way only the light in the holster, people will already have a usb c cable with them anyway.

Tell them I need that new PL turbo Valkyrie in a handheld configuration, 18350 tube. I need it with moon light and turbo mode only, all in a 2 stage gas peddle tail switch. Bring back the raider name since they already used warrior mini. 3 years iv been asking for this thing.

Head is too big for me to carry comfortably. Thing is, I carry a lot of stuff in my pockets, especially for work. Typically a full size 18650 light will reach items I keep in my pockets. Iv found that 18350 lights only take up about half my pocket length and don’t interfere with other items in my pockets so things don’t overlap and it still feels slim like I’m not carrying a lot. Currently I’m running a cloud mch hc 18350 single output. I only ever use moon and turbo so looking for that in one convenient package.

Dude, you remind me of Guy Fawkes.

O light please do trade-ins' for a discount on the new model. Then you could sell the trade-ins' win win.

@2:00 no one is giving USB-C because “we asked for it”. Of course… yes, we ALL want USB-C. But a large sector of several industries have held back evolving to USB-C for as long as possible to save 💰at the manufacturing level. The real reason they are giving us USB-C is “Directive (EU) 2022/2380; amending the Radio Equipment Directive 2014/53/EU, introduces the requirements of the 'common charging' solution. USB-C will be the common port regardless if radio device or other chargeable device”. SOOO... in order for O-Light to do business in the EU... they HAD to introduce a USB-C port or loose a large part of their market. Same with a lot of other devices... All about to make the same taking points.

going to type c is dumber than magnetically charging. people are wrong. its not easier or more convenient

Fortunately this light has both.

I dislike just about every change they made. USB-C built-in or is useless. Long press for on is a terrible idea. Mixed feelings on the indicator lights. Of course, dimmer indicator lights hopefully are less of a drain on the battery. Battery going in correctly is an improvement. Better driver, more lumens is an improvement. Rubber grip all the way around is an improvement. A real improvement would be allowing the flashlight to be used as a USB-C power bank. They had great ideas with the Seeker 4 Mini. Why, oh, why didn't they implement those on the Seeker 4 Pro?
