GoingGear.com Olight SR90 2200 Lumen LED Flashlight Review

[Cl3viin]

I've got a question: Is more lumens better or bad ?

[goingprepared]

@Cl3viin For what? If you are reading a book, 2200 is a lot, but not if you are trying to spot something 400 yards away.

[Cl3viin]

@goingprepared No im deciding about which flashing to buy and im just wondering if its better to have a flashlight with more lumens or less lumens ?

So from you answer i guess more lumens = more powerful ?

[goingprepared]

@Cl3viin Yeah, more lumens generally means a brighter light. The reflector, lens, and some other stuff comes into play as well with how bright you will see it.

[Cl3viin]

@goingprepared Ohh its clearer now, thank you for the informations

[yetey16]

hi check the website of olight, throw of light of sr92 465 meters long and in your website sr92 throw of light is 1000 meters.... same as sr90 in olight website 1750 lumens,710 meters max throw and in your website sr90 lumens is 2220 lumens,throw of light is 1000 meters...i'm confused which facts is true...thanks

[goingprepared]

@yetey16 They updated their specs to ANSI and we haven't updated our site yet.

[yetey16]

@goingprepared thanks again...which one is better sr90 or sr92...

[goingprepared]

@yetey16 Do you want throw or flood? The SR90 will throw further than the SR92, but will not illuminate as wide of an area at once.

[yetey16]

@goingprepared want both illuminate wide and throw, looks like sr92 for me

[droidguy21]

Does it come with a holster? Lol just kidding.

[FEARLFULL1]

hey man great review of the light i had a look at your website at this torch and it does not say if its water proof it just says Highly water resistant does it have a IPX-8 Standard rating?? thanks man

[goingprepared]

@FEARLFULL1 It is ANSI FL1 rated to 2m water resistance.

[shittyfuck]

THE TORCH 

[oguillen71]

How does it compare to Elektrolumens FireSword V? I'm guessing the FSV is more of a flood light, but at 3000 lumens on high, it must be quite impressive also... It would be interesting to compare both its beams...

[goingprepared]

@oguillen71 We are not a dealer for them, so I can't say.

[petzlju]

hi, have you tried the new wiseled with 3300 lumens

with seven xm-l's?

thank-you

[goingprepared]

@petzlju We are not a dealer for them, so no, we have not.

[jase1911]

just a piece of advice it would be nice if you told the lumen output on the different modes and if the lights are waterproof? plus runtime on all different modes thx.

[goingprepared]

@jase1911 The purpose of the videos is to drive traffic to our site. All the specs are on there.

[Helios601]

What I was really after was the Polarion PH50 til I saw the price lol it is on another level completely though, so I'm trying to convince my friend to buy one as he drives a supercar ha ha tactics!

[Helios601]

Didn't think so ha, why can't some hardware stores just stock these quality flashlights instead of the usual 12 candleppower bs that urns out after 5mins of usuage, I think folks would buy them after seeing them. Seems like you always have to mail order one, just gets boring after a while, however, I will order one from yourself Sir in probably 3 months time.

I did order an Artic Sypder 3 laser because I really wanted the wow factor, 10 miles wow lol still glad I purchased it.

[Helios601]

so thats around £275, this wouldnt be inclusive of postage could it? lol then we may have a deal

[goingprepared]

@Helios601 Hah, no, not for international.  This thing weighs about 10 lbs shipped and costs around $80 to ship.

[Helios601]

Think I may have made a mistake with pricing, they do seem to be very expensive, what do you sell them for? as I'm looking to buy one pretty soon.

[goingprepared]

@Helios601 $450 is the MSRP.

[Helios601]

Sounds good then as I was going to pay around £200 for an HID Oracle from amazon, olight is half the price, so you fully recommend then? thanks for advice btw it's appreciated, money is tight these dayslol It always amazes when you see those guys on here who have each and every flashlight i.e. Polarions et cetera must cost a fortune?

[goingprepared]

@Helios601 Yes, I definitely recommend the SR90. We have sold quite a few and have never had a return from an unhappy customer.

[Helios601]

So how well do these stack up an HID?

[goingprepared]

@Helios601 Depends on the model, but I have some ~2500 lumens HIDs that are nowhere near the SR90 in beam quality and distance, not to mention the 10-20 second warmup, burnt out bulbs, lack of additional modes, etc.

[powermaks]

THAT IS THE SHITEST THING I HAVE EVER HEARD OF HOW THE HELL DO YOU END UP WITH 2200 lumens when the led is maxes out at 1000 lumens

[goingprepared]

@powermaks I can't even tell if people are trolling anymore.

[ferdiedude]

@divineX9

because wicked lasers burns stuff sitting on the lens... the olight burns stuff at 100 yards.

[musicplusink]

i have no need for this but i want it.... lol it looks insane plus its HUGE!!! lol

[DivineX9]

$449.95 vs $299 for the WL Torch. Why should I get this one.....

[goingprepared]

@DivineX9 This one runs for 1.5 hours regulated on high and won't catch anything on fire, plus it can throw the beam up to a kilometer. I'll leave it up to you whether or not the fire part is a good thing. :)

[mushygirlsiniran]

hi, are the 18650s in sr90 battery pack replaceable by soldering (like a laptop battery ) when they get old or we need to get another battery pack!?

[goingprepared]

@mushygirlsiniran They are not meant to be replaced.  We do sell spare battery packs though.

[JohnJ512]

Hi

Do you have the Lenser X21 (1000Lumen) to compare with Olight

Sr90. (2200Lumen) I can't possibility see that Olight Sr90 2200Lumen is Brighter than Lenser X21. Do U have both of them to compare side by side? U can compare the Youtube Video. Type: OLIGHT SR90 SST-90 LED or: Polarion PH50 versus Olight SR90 Part4

Compare vs : Led lenser x21

or: LED LENSER X21 P7 TEST

LED LENSER Looks Brighter & further throw distance!

[goingprepared]

@JohnJ512 No, we are not a LED Lenser dealer. The X21 is unregulated, uses old technology, and cannot even accept rechargeable batteries. Their runtime claims are laughable at best, fraudulent at worst. You will have an initial burst of high output that will quickly drop off, instead of the same output the entire time, like you will get with the SR90.

[katnook707]

@JohnJ512 Why do you go on every thread cutting and pasting the same message about Lenser X21 VS OLight

SR 90 ?

The OLight SR 90 is brighter and throws further,there is no question of that.

Are you trolling for Lenser?

[goingprepared]

@katnook707 We get a lot of those guys on half the videos we make.

[quim1970]

@katnook707 His composition and spelling suck too.

[bentlikeitsmaker]

how come the tk 35 looks brighter on your house then the sr 90

[goingprepared]

@bentlikeitsmaker The SR90 is very focused, where the TK35 produces a wide beam. The TK35 isn't even close to the output of the SR90.

[Rodrizona]

How long does a charge last on the SR90? 

[goingprepared]

@Rodrizona About 1.5 hours.

[Taaplari]

★★★★★

[dchovs]

hell ye thats a beaste

[dodgekicksass505]

Eers2ya shut the fuck up bro quit talking shit..wanna super high output flashlight ur not gunna pay 5 bucks for it..gay ass

[dodgekicksass505]

U know I always wondered witch was brighter x21 or sr90

[AmericanRattlesnake]

The led lenser x21 makes this flash light look like a candle. I have both btw.

[goingprepared]

@AmericanRattlesnake The X21 one is not regulated, not made for rechargeable batteries, and does not have the output of an SR90. You might get a lot of light at first, but that goes away really quickly, like with a MagLite. Also, their runtimes are ridiculous. 200 hours of runtime is not realistic when you are at 1% of your original output halfway through. LED Lenser makes great lights, but they need to update their technology.

[boooz75]

woooooooooooooooooooow man

[cabo02]

Does it have an adjustable beam? Spot to flood?

[goingprepared]

@cabo02 No, it's fixed focus.

[ammosmith]

Can it be mounted to a rifle?

[goingprepared]

@ammosmith Sure, with a lot of duct tape.

[brian2952]

Could you please give your opinion on the sr90 vs the sr91. Thank you

[goingprepared]

@brian2952 They have the same battery pack and LED, but the SR90 has a significantly larger head. If you want maximum brightness and throw, get the SR90. If size is a concern, get the SR91.

[Smauges]

@goingprepared If light is what you want then the SR90 is the choice, 2200 lumens, only HID lights are stronger (but they dont last more than like 5000 hours, an LED last at least 50 000 hours, and get instant brightness, HID got to be warm first)... but the SR91 is a bit smaller, and dont through the light as far, but it is still very bright, 1500 lumens... and then it´s the money, the SR90 is more expensive...LED lenser X21 is a good choice to(1000 lumens, cheaper etc.)

[eers2ya]

Flashlights, just like anything else are way overpriced. Ripoffs, how much do you think it costs to mass produce these? Not much, probably at least a 1000% mark up.

[wewd]

I guess this is the ultimate "because we could" light. It also kicks the pants off the S&R mainstay, the Maxabeam, which I believe is rated at 1000 lumens / 7.5M candlepower with a 90 min runtime. The Maxabeam also weighs nearly 20 lbs. I would love to see a comparison between those two lights.

[goingprepared]

@wewd If someone sends me one, I'd be happy to compared them. :)

[ustfu]

Please school me. What does this super bright flashlight do?

Don't get me wrong. I like bright flashlights, but I can't think of a way to use it. You think it's good for camping?

[goingprepared]

@ustfu It was designed for search and rescue. I have a lot of customers that own a lot of land and use them for spotting far away objects at night when they are on their property. I think it is a bit much for camping, but I supposed that all depends on what you are willing to carry.

[ApocalypticRedIX]

@goingprepared what happens if i shine this light on 2,200 lumens mode at a criminals eyes up close at night pitch dark

[ThePoliceUT3]

holy F#ck...

[spiritsword83]

man that is a BEAST

[goingprepared]

@spiritsword83 Yeah, it's pretty crazy. Definitely a good way to light up the night.

[romm911]

how much does it cost ??

[goingprepared]

@romm911 $450

[RobbansLand]

Nice torch but too big for wearing it on your belt when jumping in and out the patrolcar 40 times/night... But i still like it.

[randy25rhoads]

Good God man! You've got some wicked pollen out there...

Love your vids!

[elheebo]

My God, you have tons of bugs flying around in Georgia!!

[Mrcaffinebean]

Wow, I want one!

[ACLincorperated]

that thing is so beast i want one so bad

[beast12101]

thats nutz, i love it. how hot does the head get. would it burn you or melt nylon.

[goingprepared]

@beast12101 Not even close to that hot. It does heat up, but the heat sinking takes care of most of it.
