Next up we have the Olight SR90 Intimidator. I might have to do another video where I have more than 100 yard or so to show the thing off, because it is ridiculous. If you have a job or volunteer in a position where you need to see things that are far away at night, the SR90 is hard to beat. The light is rated to light up objects up to a kilometer away. I can’t even see that far during the day in the pollen haze that we have during spring in Georgia.
The light is easily one of the nicest that I sell and have ever seen. The machining is top notch, the case is really nice, and the performance is incredible. I know it sounds like I am gushing about one of my own products, but the SR90 really is fun to use and is a serious tool for those that need it (or just want a ton of light). The one big drawback is the weight. At about 3.5 lbs, the SR90 is definitely not made for ultralight backpackers and the included padded shoulder strap is highly recommended for extended use.
The new Olight SR90 Intimidator is in stock and shipping. Olight went all out with the SR90, creating a light geared toward search and rescue and other emergency services with its blistering 2200 lumens. This is definitely no backpacking light, weighing 55 oz and measuring over a foot in length. That size combined with a massive reflector gets you a light that can shine a beam up to a kilometer away, which is quite impressive to see in person. I tried putting the SR90 to its limit and just couldn’t find an area big enough near my house. I need to go climb a mountain and shine it down into a valley to really see what it can do.
The SR90 is powered by a custom battery pack that can be charged on or off the light. The light has three modes, high (2200 lumens), low (700 lumens), and strobe. Admittedly, a low of 700 lumens is not really very low, but you don’t buy this light to preserve your night vision.
The Olight M20 Warrior Premium was developed for military and law enforcement users, and it excels for those type of tasks, but it also works great as an outdoor light. The M20 uses lithium batteries, given you a super bright light in a relatively small package. The packaging contains the light, a killer sheath, a battery holder, and other standard accessories.
Until I run out of them, the 2009 holiday set has an M20 and an iTP A3 EOS titanium for $100. Considering that the lights separately would cost you $140, the set is a pretty ridiculous deal.
OK, this is the last flashlight video, I swear. For at least a week anyway. Maybe only a couple of days…
This one shows the three CREE MC-E 700 lumen beast flashlights that I stock, the Fenix TK40, Olight M30 Triton, and Jetbeam M1X. They all use the same LED, but they are different enough that each one is better for different situations. Or, if you are like me, you just get all three and make planes land in your backyard.
Flashlight videoganza continues with a video showing the Olight M30 Triton, a super bright (700 lumens) light that I am very happy with. It doesn’t have the throw of the other big and bright lights I stock, but the compact size makes it more portable.
