You uhh kinda forgot the price for that there bit o' shiney, sir!

At $600, the thing had better get up and do the dishes too, dangit!!

Meh.
It looks impressive on paper but you only get the 25,000 lumens for 3 minutes.
Then it goes down to 6,400 lumens.
And you probably need to wear a heat resistant glove at the end of the 3 minutes.

To me that's a 6,400 lumens light.If I can't used the brightest mode for at least an hour it's not really usefull and they're just braging about a high brightness number.

Another brand will come with a 50,000 lumens light (with a 1 minute runtime) and claim there light is the brightest ... until it catches fire.

For that price it had better burn a hold through the eye sockets back.

And have an onboard airbag with a freefall sensor.

And only $600!

I suspect it's a case of Olight doing it because they can and the market continues to push for more, more, more lumens in a handheld light.

In practical terms, it could be useful as a searchlight for people who can't carry a lot of extra heavy gear, such as search and rescue teams.

 

[Dead Duck]

I wonder if you'll need welding gloves to use it.

 

[Benp]

More lumens please, and add a bottle opener!

How long before people are blinded by negligent flashlight discharge?

How long before people are blinded by negligent flashlight discharge?

How long would it take to get it out of the packaging?

 

[GodFearinGunTotin]

How long would it take to get it out of the packaging?

You can almost here it now.....

"Tell me if you think this is bright."


Then the smell of charred flesh, hair burning, and the sound of a smoke detector going off.

 

[WebSnyper]

Damn, that thing could probably give you an MRI given that power.

What's the over/under on Rhino needing a retina transplant in the near future?

You could have saved $150 when it was released if you were on Olight's mailing list
