Thanks For this video. just a few days ago I watched your earlier Warrior review that talked about the Olight flashsales, and I was able to get the Warrior 3s on sale (30 or 40% off!). I always thought that bright flashlights needed to be huge, but these flashlights are amazing. Thanks again, you saved me a tonne of cash, and helped make the outdoors at night fun again!!

Stumbled on your site I'm glad to find someone else who thinks this is the best light made. I've had mine for about a year and walk my dog in the dark first thing in the morning. I live out in the country and I'm more amazed with this light now than went I bought it. You can scroll through the brightness levels on the fly and If you need a blinding light hit the turbo. The video does not due this justice it is insanely bright. Magnetic base, moonlight setting, multiple brightness setting it checks every box. If I could only have one flashlight this is it and there is not a close second. If you are in the market for a flashlight don't even think about anything else just pull the trigger and get it, you won't be disappointed.

They have some great looking lights. Still blown away by the amount of light the newer lights pump out.

Hands down best flashlight video I’ve ever seen. I’m sold. Going to buy one right now

Great video review really like your outdoor video shots look great and matches what I see with these lights in person.

Excellent review, thank you! As you say, “That’s the thing about Olight, lots of colors!” Yes, indeed that’s what keeps me coming back to Olight, all the great colors.

I watched the video until about the 7 minute mark and thought why am I wasting my time watching for ? Straight to Ebay and ordered one in OD Green.. Great review.. your honesty sold me !!

Love mine too! Glad you made a video about it

Another awesome flashlight from Olight. And a great review from you! 👍👌👌

O light sure makes some wonderful powerful lights. I love the orange one you can find it easier if you forget where you put it down at. The bigger hot spot is great I always enjoy the review videos. Thanks Charlie

Thanks for the review. I think this one might be my next purchase. I have the Warrior Mini2 and I love it.

Just received the Warrior 3S in OD Green. Love it. Take care.

Excellent review bud,enjoyed it very much. Thanks

Great lights for sure! I have one in Tan and one in Gray... love the look of the tan and gray lights. Fantastic review! Be safe my friend.

Hands down the best Video I have ever watched pertaining to a flash light

Thank you for your excellent review, sir!

best review I've seen yet review more please

I love bright colors...the Orange is great! It's easy to find if you drop it.... easy to find if your digging it out of a bag.......bright colors in general for stuff that you can lose easily or have to dig for sometimes to get just make life so much easier!!

I’ve always wanted to get into metal detecting. It looks like a fun and possibly rewarding hobby. I love orange so Olights orange colors are Awesome. I have the Perun 2 headlamp in orange. I just came across your channel. Nice videos

I used to do it and had a pretty good rig. The minelab equinox 600. Probably the best find I came across on a walking trail was a .22 cal slug. I could not believe it was that sensitive to sniff out a copper slug like that. However. If you don’t live near any historical sites, or virgin grounds (have never been dug)… your best luck would be at busy beach wear people are losing jewelry and all manner of items all the time. Part of the reason it happens is that the ligaments/ extremities of the human body shrink (rings off fingers especially) and therefore fall into the ocean. But good luck and happy hunting if you do get into metal detecting.

I really appreciate that they gave it a one lumen moon light feature.

How usable is the 1 lumen mode? I have the Olight Perun 2 Mini and its 1 lumen mode is almost bright enough indoors at night as a standalone light source. If the Warrior 3S is anything like that… that alone would be worth it to buy because of the long runtime 💯👌🏼

What would you think is better all round. The warrior 3s or the seeker pro 3. I’m used to an adjustable focus. So I’m concerned the warrior won’t flood much and the seeker not great for spotting.

I've been using the M2R for almost 3 years, daily. Fantastic light. Looks like the 3 is also great.

Great review! I ordered one!…🔥🔥🔥

Outstanding review. 🙏👍

Hi, I recently purchased one and was wondering if you have noticed a faint shadow in the center of the hot spot? I’m wondering if it’s from the proximity sensor.

So do you like this better then the fenix pd36r? I have the pd36r and I love it but in 4 days olight is going to have a badass deal on this orange olight and the olight baton pro max as a bundle deal and I'm thinking about getting them.. also does the new warrior s have a better flood then the pd36r?

Picked up the w3s in OD green. Best light I own by far.

After watching your review I am going to go ahead and ignore all negative things people say about olight and get me a warrior 3s. Looking forward for the Black Friday sale. Thanks

I've used Olights for a few years. I also have a good friend who works at a rural airport and he swears by them. I've never had an issue with their lights and I have both weapon mounted and handheld models.

I think I heard a kydex type holster for your flashlight in your hip?? What do you use to carry them in? On your person??

can the light be used while recharging? like turn it on and then plug it in ? or can you plug it in and then turn it on ? that recharge cap makes me think it blocks the on and off button.

I love the Olight Warrior 3s, my every day carry light. My back up light is the Olight mini seeker 4. Olive green. Awesome team..

I have fenix tk16v2, looking for another with longer throw and still good spill. I'm looking at the nitecore p23i, says it can hold high at 1,500 for 2.5 hours. Do you have any recommendations? also have marauder mini showing up in couple of days.

What are you using for a holster for the warrior 3?

I like the warriar mini 2 because the lumens is lower for each setting, giving you more hours of battery in a smaller package.

Is the protective lens glass or some type of plastic?

Is the strike bezel actually aggressive enough on this ?

thanks for the info, i like the bezel it is a protection item.

What made you go with this over the baton 3 or x3 or seeker 3

I’m liking that light a lot! I also see the Yaesu FTD5. How’s that radio working for you? I’d love to see some Ham radio videos. Do you work HF at all?

Hey, what you think about T. TN 12 Pro?

Amazing flashlights and your reviews are impeccable. Yet here im who needs a flashlight with removable batteries i mean not a chargeable ones coz i sleep out in the jungle for a week or two hunting. Could you please recommend me with something that could be loaded with disposable batteries,durable, rugged and long lasting?

11:18 beautiful cloud.

What holster were you using

What is the difference between the 3 and the 3s?

How do you turn off the sensor? Olight says it's not possible. Please help.

Hi I'm really considering this light. But I was wondering about the 2.5 minute runtime on turbo... is that 2.5 min a step down and you can use the turbo again eventually after cooling? Or once used on turbo for 2.5 min the turbo is completely useless?

@ludoA.K.A

Turbo mode will still be available provided the battery is over 75% charged. Below this value, the voltage will be too "low" and the Turbo disappears. An excellent flashlight provided you recharge it with each use, in fact. The Warrior 3 has the same UI too.

Warrior 3s is much a nice edc pocket light. The mouser xhp50.3 emitter swap made such a great difference.

Is the battery proprietary?

My light doesn't charge! The charger light stays green and never goes red. I'm down to one bar on my light and it won't charge. Can anybody suggest a good charge port for this thing? Any links? Mind you, my light is only one month old

Just reconnected to the flashlight world and wow so much change! These are far from your "father's flashlight" with one intensity, finicky batteries that ended up leaking and ruining the flashlight; weak lamps - even kryptons by comparison, that had to be changed once in a while. This model looks great and works great, just got mine.

I hope he gets back to the both of us inquiring minds want to know about that power bank.

C'mon! What type of battery does the 3S accept? 2300 lumens is a lot but having to change battery size can be a game changer for those who already have plenty of 16150 batteries.

I just ordered one of these at 40% off on their store page. They're celebrating an anniversary or something (any excuse to have a sale is fine by me). I would love to see more of those that carry firearms also EDC a light. On a side note, I've been carrying the very slim and powerful Fenix pd32v2 for over a year now and that thing has a very tight hot spot... it's actually a bit too tight for many uses, however, it's excellent for blinding an attacker or packing some serious throw. The thing is the most fun light I own for it's thin 18650 form factor and its lazer like capabilities. It's around 40,000 candela at 1,200 lumens(although you'd think it's higher) on turbo and very lightweight. I'm excited to see if the warrior 3s replaces it in my pocket daily, as it's notably larger.

excellent light

Needs USB C and moonlight mode with similar lumen as the previous version and it will be fantastic

Just got the 3s for 89$ from their super sale. I wish the beam pattern was diff. Thats my only gripe.

I really liked Warrior 3,until it melted a hole in my vest. Now that it has a proximity sensor, I'm going to see if I like it as much as the Warrior mini 2. I too carry 2 flashlights: Baton 3 and Warrior mini 2.

I've owned them for years and have bought 7 or 8 more of them since last summer from the same store, of which has nearly stopped carrying Olight because they have so many returns they suggested I don't risk it. I visit the store every year and will even tell you where it is and what it is called. Smoky Mountain Knife Works in TN. Fenix. Fenix. Fenix. Oh, I forgot one thing. I was in there just yesterday 6/28 and they had 2 lights and no other displays in the Olight case. Fenix had plenty to choose from and they'll tell you that Fenix sells the most and returns the least.

I like the Warrior X3 due to the Warrior ring. Because if you shine it in someone's eyes you better be ready for a fight, putting 2500 lumens in someone's face is no joke. Around 1k is good enough to work but not cause permanent damage or an immediate fight.

I personally really dislike having a sensor (point of failure) in a flashlight. My first Olight was the baton 3 pro. Two months after purchase it failed due to that sensor. It caused it to auto dim it in every setting regardless of what I did. I just recently ordered the warrior 3s ONLY BECAUSE YOU CAN DISABLE THE SENSOR if it fails. Adding points of failure to a edc tool is just not logical to me personally. And the fact you can disable the sensor on this W3S is the only reason I’m giving Olight a second chance. Would prefer them just put a tough enough lense on it so it wouldn’t melt. Cause we all know that’s the real reason the sensor is there

The Olight Warrior 3S is kind of a bad joke, turbo only last 2.5 minutes? Yes, the 2300 turbo only last 2.5 minutes on a fully charged battery, if you need turbo a second time you’ll get 1 minute of runtime. No third time until you recharge and top-off the battery. After 2.5 minutes turbo steps down to a 800lm high mode for additional 166 minutes but.. 800lm high has a greenish tint that really unpleasant! I’ve got a 10 year old Eagtac D25LC2 that runs at 1374 lumens for 1.5hrs that’s smaller and outperforms the Warrior 3S..

The strobe is blinding.😎

If u prefer olight that's cool but it's not the best, the NITECORE MH12SE uses more batteries, has more distance and candela, and longer runtime, duel switches and only 5 inches long, and it uses the same type c charger my phone and everything else uses, don't have to carry a separate charger just for your flashlight, it also uses cr/rcr 123 batteries in a pinch, also has plastic tactical quick draw holster, and optional pressure switch for gun mounting

All that said, I love the throw/ hot spot and spill mixture on the NITECORE MH12SE, so I can see why you would like it for it's compact nature.

They're still value based compared to MANY other brands. Demanding minutia for the same price point is probably futile. I've been running Olights on several of my weapons for years and they've been money

Switch long lasting? Common problem.

I like olight flashlights for work or utility use. However I'm not a fan of them for tactical or defensive use. Mainly due to the tail switch. Because of it's tendency for inadvertent activation and, more importantly, issues with consistent activation under stress. This became obvious after my first lowlight class with my Warrior Mini 2, in which others with olights had similar issues. Personally I prefer a Surefire, Modlight, or even Streamlight for defensive use. As of now my go to is a Surefire Stiletto Pro. However I still carry a Baton 3 as a utility light at the same time. An if I need a more serious light the Warrior Mini 2 is great. But a tactical light... no way. An alos their weapon lights are awful. Especially their rifle lights. Their pistol lights seem okay as long as you don't put them on a rifle or think of them as a duty light.

These are absolutly not the best tactical light. I have used one got the past two years everyday. the tail switch will gunk up with sand, mud and dust completely seizing it up with no way to full disassemble it for cleaning. I've had plenty of issues with charging due to faulty batteries and shitty tail switch. And The plastic lens will dirty and scuff very easily due to it being plastic

Buy American! Cloud Defense MCH...

Your opinion does not matter, PERIOD!

Dont do good review for bad companies like olight .they sell u the product with excessive promotion but not take care the poblem when it happen not honer their warrenty .

So I’ve had my warrior 3 for close to a year if not a year and I can say I regret my purchase. Chip sucks constantly coming out my pocket, even after cutting off the second bend because it snag on everything, and adjust it to have more clamping force than what it came with. overheats with no vents. Magnet on the back is a pain because I do metal work, button constantly clogged with steel from that. And now it’s turning itself on at 3am in the morning waking me up to write this review. My fenix I’ve had since high school, literally have worn the rubber button out on the back selector from the over decade I’ve used it and only issue I had was i had to retighten the clicker back in all the way from the amount of times I’ve clicked it came a little loose. It came with a second rubber protector on the back selector which I swapped out. My fenix I’ve dropped hundreds of times, would throw it into my sister salt water pool and go swimming with no issues. Most of the flashlight on my fenix is worn silver from the amount I’ve used it. Probably going to ask my brother for it back or buy a new one. I was expecting a $100+ flashlight to at least last a year or more…. Never going with a olight again. Don’t fall for the sponsored reviews they put out, because they don’t last and make a crappy product.
