    With so many flashlights to choose from in my collection which ones do I use everyday ? Well it comes done to three main flashlights and 2 honorable mentions. First is the Warrior 3 S which is a CW cool white spot light that has a maximum of 2300 lumens. A great flashlight with some throw. Second is the Baton 3 pro max in NW neutral white and that is a daily favorite for filming B roll. Both those flashlights are rechargeable with 21700 batteries. the third is the Baton 3 pro which is the small 18650 battery, I like this because it is in the middle of the Warrior 3 S and the Baton 3 pro max. Just enough throw and spot with the NW option available. Also because of its smaller size it makes a great headlamp that you can clip on to a baseball hat. Honorable mentions because they are backup flashlights and always in my bag are the Olight I5R and Olight I1R2 pro.

    I upgraded from the S2R Baton 2, when I was gifted the Warrior Mini 3.
    Far superior EDC for someone who works driving tractor trailers 12hr nightshifts.
    It is similar to my Javelot Pro with controls, yet small.
    Thought Baton2 would be the last, I was wrong.
    When is Desert Tan Warrior Mini3 being released... .... !!
    Not at work, S1R Baton 2 or 3 depending on battery rotation.

What would be the best that you would recommend. Good battery life might be important as sometimes charging might be limited. Thanks so much!

    • @BenBartlow
      @BenBartlow Před 9 měsíci

      They used to make the baton non rechargeable but have gotten out of that. They just need to make a non recharging non magnetic tail cap you could get as an accessory and you'd be good. Inhave one of the older ones buy it still has a magnetic cap even though it's not a charging port. If you could get a thick enough rubber cover fornthe tail perhaps nothing would stick or if it did just remove the rubber to get the shavings off

    ...great video, I thought that I was bad (I have a ton of Fenix, Olight, Nitecore, and many other flashlights 🔦), but I think that you have me beat [by a long shot my brother]. I'm definitely that nerdy old guy that carries several different ones on me daily.....for years.... and years. As a long-haul truck driver, there is not one day that I don't use a flashlight. I carry the same flashlight (in the same spot on my person everyday), so, depending on the lumen, I have no hesitation as to which light I'll use in each situation. I pull a refrigerated trailer, and for the two or three in the morning loads, it really does take a high lumen flashlight to see all the way to the nose in the trailer. At any rate, I love your videos my brother, please take care and be well.

  • @donaldstrader7241
    @donaldstrader7241 Před 11 měsíci

    I have the Warrior 3 and love the new switch. I do not like that it lost the 60 lumen utility or medium 2 level, nor do I like the CW beam. So I did not get the 3S. The 3 does not get that much use. I recall seeing a review which rued the loss of the 60 lumen especially for indoor use. Does anyone prefer the Warrior without the 60 lumen level? One EDC that you do not mention that I particularly like is the Perun 2 Mini. The prior beaded lens versions had some close up evenness of beam advantages (as I saw a photographer comment). However for EDC it has a great balance of features and one does not have to remove the EDC clip to use it in the headband. I do love the Baton 3 Pro Max in neutral white for general use and the same light in warm white generally resides on my nightstand. Anyway I like your choices for a blend of features.

And thats not saying they arent great flashlights...but its well documented that they hand out a ton of free stuff in exchange for A+ reviews. Check out T-Rex arms and why he will never push Olight after they contacted him trying to get him to push their products, not for his honest review and feedback

    • @donaldstrader7241
      @donaldstrader7241 Před 11 měsíci

      I agree on the neutral white. It has made it easier to resist all the fancy colors and patterns. If it is only in crappy white (CW) I generally skip it. I have enough CW as it is.

    • @DJ_CRIZP
      @DJ_CRIZP Před 11 měsíci

      @@donaldstrader7241 cool white is fine with me as long as the tint is decent. Olight has actually been getting better about their cool whites getting cleaner and less green. The WM3 is actually a pretty clean CW. But the SFT-40 5000K just came out. So I'll probably be emitter swapping mine if Olight doesn't just release a NW one soonish.
