Olight Odin IR vs Surefire Vampire

- Even if you calibrate for my bias against secondary cells, the Olight Odin IR does not stack up very well against the Surefire Vampire lights. Everybody knows that lumens are a fake number for idiots, but apparently milliwatts can be deceiving too.

It amuses me to imagine one dude in your neighborhood who has nv and every once in a while notices a glow coming from a block over
I hope I show up on a bunch of Ring cameras as a weirdo with a camera and a strange purple flashlight.
@@Hoplopfheil you're basically a cryptid at this point
It would be nice if you can make a WML 101 covering the basics of lights, mounts, tape switches, etc.
I will try to get around to something like that.
9 hole did something like this
There’s surefire compatibility for light buttons and L3/Steiner/nato compatibility for IR laser buttons. Every other light and/or button type is proprietary lol
@@mrs.vasquezz They did a video showing all the popular lights throw
"Good Info."
Nice to see that surefire can still do 1 thing well after a 20 year head start
What do you mean? Their suppressors are still probably the best.
@@chinesemassproduction don’t forget their warcomp and their light mounting system in my opinion is the best however the lights themselves do lack
@@chinesemassproductionthat's fair
The thing surefire does best is keep my money out of Chinese pockets
@@madstan8948 just don't use the Warcomp as a can host, performance suffers dramatically compared to using either the basic 3P or the SFMB as can hosts.
Olight is known for over estimating (and over advertising) the output of any of their lights. They regularly underperform compared to basically everything else. And in the same price range, Streamlight also outperforms Olight. Olight is little more than a cheap Alibaba light that through a massive advertising campaign, gained a following of fanbois that don't really care about performance and quality but makes their decisions based on flash sales.
And if you want to go even cheaper Astrolux will do just fine.
I kinda like the rechargable design but that’s about it.
It's not that they over estimate their lights, the lumens are there, but they have really REALLY low candela from either shit reflector design or emitter.
@@robertparis5680 I've seen the light sphere scientific testing of various Olight lights. They generally come in under their advertised output. On the occasion they meet or beat their advertised output, their heat management is so poor that their max output drops nearly immediately. So it's really insignificant if it did actually have the advertised output..even if for even one minute. But yes, of the many issues with their lights and quality, their candela is horribly low. Often times half of what companies like Streamlight puts out. Either way, they're a low performing light with a significant amount of other issues.
@@RTTGunsGear agreed, I really.did have high hopes when they first released. But after realizing that my protac rm1 had more throw and more.useful beam I swapped.to hlx's.
Just look at it this way, Olight has given us something Surefire never would, a civilian-legal HE grenade. Now if only we could convince them to make one that's exactly 40mm...
Not gonna lie, you had me in the first half
I'm not an Olight fanboy but this rumor gets so tiring. One single guy had his flashlight explode and kill him because he had it in his mouth, working on his car, when he touched the flashlight to the car battery and it overloaded the Olight's battery and caused it to explode in his mouth.
Literally anything battery powered will explode in the exact same way when touched to a car battery terminal.
@@ShellShock794 ong these bandwagoners still using low power non rechargeable stream lights got me dead.
@@randyjohnson3654streamlights are proven, Olights are glorified airsoft lights
@@ShellShock794it’s not a rumor, it literally happened. Cope harder
I know you haven't historically liked Zenitco products all too much, but Zenitka actually has such an illuminator/white light combo available in their Klesch-2. Maybe check it out if you're so inclined.
Well, good luck getting one of those at a reasonable cost in 2022 lol
Thanks
As always, excellent vid. Thank you for taking the time and spending the money to make it.
I have a couple of cheap Olights for around the house and on a pair of glocks that really don’t leave the safe. I’d say that you get what you pay for with olight. I’ve had more than 20 surefire lights through the years, only two minor warranty issues that they covered with no drama. On any firearm that could be called upon to defend life or limb there is a Surefire attached. Malloff makes great stuff to update the older dimmer Surefire models.
Malkoff heads are great. Brought and old Surefire into the 21st century with one of their heads
Another issue with Olight Odins is heat buildup. They get incredibly hot after a short time being turned on, and have literally made my bedsheets start smoking when I set it down on them turned on. They can start fires with ease.
Olights just transfers the handheld philosophy of their flashlights to their gun lights and it sucks. Lights should be lighter using 18650 or 14500 batteries, they should focus on having a beam with a strong hotspot throwing far away and a wider weeker flood for close up target acquisition. Their 2 stage switch is crap to use under pressure as well and their remote switch function just dangerous as Hop mentioned in the video. Cloud defensive Rain 2 is the best visible flashlight currently on the market. And the Surefires Vampire the most modular offering actual dual illumination with the same beam pattern.
Olights have been having a lot of safety recalls due to spontaneous combustion. Spend the extra money for a surefire.
Or Streamlight for a budget.
Hey, if you want a light that doubles as an onboard self-distruct button, Olights are a no-brainer!
Or streamlight
Fair and unbiased. Thank you.
Unbiased? You mean to tell me there are no positives about the light?
Idk how it would fare, but Inforce does make a white/Ir light: WML/WMLx . Maybe you can check it out and let us know.
Sure thing
Thanks perfect timing looking at IR lights
Hop either has videos or just released almost something every time iv searched for something
My brother in law is a O light fan and I'm only running surefire, for cheap utilitarian Mag Lites are Ok. I have yet to break a surefire, my brother in law likes O lights warranty, because he uses it.
I've actually gotten into buying cheap used military surefires and replacing the guts of the head with a Malkoff head, works pretty damn good.
I'm more the buy once cry once.
Arisaka makes an IR head that's compatible with modlight bodies
Yeah, Malkoff heads are nice. Bought one for an older Surefire and gave it a new life.
@@jonnyl2001 I was shocked how well they worked as well.
Ended up being able to setup five rifles and carbines that weren't going to get lights with them, tape switches and the flip down IR cover for just under a thousand. Super sweet give the quality and bomb proofness of surefire.
@@kerbalairforce8802 and surefire I believe. I've been wanting to try them out for awhile. Do you like them compared to surefire?
Thank you for this information, Hop. I recently picked up an Olight ALDR S for my nightstand gun. It's rechargeable, has a stupid bright LED white light and a green laser (you don't even need the light at night - the laser gives enough light to see a threat). I have a shotgun I need a light for, and your video has given me some things to consider.
I'm good without an IED on my rifle
Still waiting on the Olight 12 gauge shells. Lobbing explosives out of a shotgun like it was Call of Duty sounds fun.
Also the olight does not fit on the arisaka picatinny mounts. They do fit on the mlok style but there is a notch in between the mounting holes of the arisaka pic mounts that does not allow you to reach the holes on the light.
An IR torch vs an actual torch
Also the olight catches on fire and has a cool feature where it grenades on the end of your rifle and blows your fingers off
I tried to build a Vampire/Scout (aka Franken-Vampire)for less than the online prices.
SureFire M600V: $489
Surefire IR/White light head: $250
Arisaka body: $64
Surefire tape Switch end cap: $145
Arisaka Rail mount: $ 48
Project total: $507 (Cheaper to just buy the M600V)
I currently have the SightMark LoPro. Its big and heavy, but provides a green laser, IR light, and Flashlight. I don't use the laser due to my handguard moving; making it impossible to zero. My 5.56 rifle weighs 11.5 pounds and I am trying to reduce weight. The weight of the "Franken-Vampire" is 1/3 of the LoPro. Its a little weight reduction, but counts.
Thank you for the video(s). I often use your evaluations as my baseline.
The other thing with Olight rechargeable batteries is that they love to make proprietary ones, so there's always the question of whether any given Olight can run off a standard battery and it doesn't look like this one does.
Even if they don't, they still have their issues. Heard of someone's magnetic, recharge point sticking to his knife in his pocket and warming up before sending sparks when he separated the two.
The 21700 is a semi-standard Li-on battery. Still wouldn't recommend the olight for anything other than a makeshift flashbang. They have a fairly awful reputation for battery saftey.
@@wolfranger7340 Yeah, that's my point, the 21700 is pretty standard (if less common than an 18650), but the one this light, and a lot of other Olights, takes is a proprietary cell the size of a 21700. Notice the double ring on the head end, which means it uses the body tube of the light as a communications line for the tail switch and not for power transmission, which means it wouldn't even work with a standard 21700. Of course that's not the only reason you probably shouldn't buy one, but it would still be a dealbreaker for me even if the rest of the light was fine.
@@rifleshooterchannel208 Especially if mistreated.
@@transtubular Nah, all that's necessary is putting it in your mouth lol
I went ahead and got a Olight Baldr IR a while back and on my 22lr, it does the job for nighttime varmint hunting.
But honestly, for a real "user" life & liberty rifle, or nighttime hunting rifle just spend the money and cry once. I'd say if you want to cut a corner and get something more affordable than a Dbal, Surefire, or even holosun, the Streamlight VIR II is usable, as long as you realize and are at peace with its shortcomings.
Hop check out weltool light heads the things are nutty. I got an lh2 which is the IR head and it performs better than my mawl c1+ on high. Like its kind of scary. If phantom hill continues on with the v2 I might sell the mawl and get that and put the white light head and the IR head on that. Also the white light head is better than an OKW, brighter hot spot and brighter flood section.
DAMN, olight forgot to pay you off like all the other youtubers...incoming olight offer in 5
Olight is a better improvised breaching device though 💥
I really love the Olight EDC Flashlights. I've been carrying one for several years now and they've never let me down.
Their Tactical or Weapons Mounted lights have never been nearly as well thought out or as good as their EDC stuff. One other aspect of the Odin series I really dislike is that the mount that connects directly to the flashlight body has a bad habit of becoming loose over time, even WITH Loctite.
Enjoy your EDC grenade
My Odin rail mount failed and couldnt handlle hot 556. No more Olight for me.
@@depthcharge6215What do you mean by "failed"?
When you use loctite, you HAVE to use their primer. The primer is required when the metal has any coating whatsoever, and all gun accessories have coatings, especially the screws. If you don't want to use primer, then switch to VC3.
@@5jjt Their rail mounting is fragile. One drop and can no longer mount. Unreliable in the real world.
The only way you'll find me in a stack, nuts to butts, with the boys ready to breach, is with a fckin x300
If you have more disposable income looking for a mediocre IR/White light, Check out the Nitecore CI7. I use the CI6 and its okay, besides the fact that the IR/White light switch over is done by pressing 2 buttons. Apparenlty the CI7 rectified some of those issues.
Good review.
Personally I can vouch for the 21700 battery. I have several lights that I have used for many years, and I've never had a problem with one.
Keep the great videos coming.
the timing of this is great because I just saw they made this light and thought about actually buying Olight
Olight are great toys, don't ever use them for anything your life might depend on. Thing of them as airsoft grade.
@@jonathanrogers9961 oh im very aware oh olight and their quality but considering this market is very small i almost pulled trigger
@@douglyons206 I will admit the specs looked good on paper. But knowing olight... I figured there would be some sort of, probably major, issue. Surefire are way over priced imho, but if my life was depending on it, I would spend the money.
Thank you for risking life and limb for this review.
I‘ve been using a SF M300V head with a S&S precision M-AX mount on my nvg helmet for a year and it‘s a fantastic system.
I own a few of the compact Olight weapon lights. They commonly have 2 major issues.
1) light output degrades significantly and rapidly after a few minutes of constant on. This is a programmed feature to protect from heat damage, caused by overdriving the compact, rechargeable batteries and electronics to very high output levels. The 500 lumen light is only a 60 lumen light in about 5 minutes of use.
2) while the claimed outputs in LUMENS may be impressive, the output in CANDELLA is usually only average, resulting in lackluster overall performance. Lumens is a measure of brightness, while candella is a measure of volume. I have Streamlight lights that claim half of the lumen output of the Olights, but they appear brighter due to higher candella outputs.
On top of that, I have left a couple of honest reviews on their website that outlined specific shortcomings and suggestions for areas to improve, but they refuse to publish them. They will only publish gushing, 5-star reviews.
Hop reviewed an olight…. What has this world come to
Olight made some TLR1 lookalike with an IR laser and we tested it out. We could see it on a hill about 500 yards away which I thought was impressive for olight. Still have issues trusting their quality though.
The Olight BALDR IR. I use it as a cheapo IR laser for airsoft, and its sorta OK.
@@johanvanderwalt2772 yes that's the one
I got 2 of those while they were on sale and they were definitely worth the sale price.
Night vision dudes need a white light/ir illumination on their helmets, great setup you have on your helmet.
I have the Olight Odin 2000 lumen unit and it's pretty awesome if you just need the most powerful light imaginable.
Is that Sunnyvale? Where's Lahey?
You are a hidden gem man. Very insightful. You always are.
A follow up video of the m300v light with the otal-c lazer and the mount used would be cool.
I force makes an IR/White light that is 700 lumens. I have it on my NV a helmet.
I have the surefire 600v on a sub gun with the Steiner TOR mini Ir laser set right in front of a forward grip. Works great.
Thing about IR lights is I can see them!!👀
I wouldn't trust Olight for anything serious. DEFINITELY don't trust their meme explosive proprietary batteries.
Olight was a good learning experience for me. Now I only trust surefire and streamlight.
Do you think the ODIN” INFRARED (IR) LASER 808NM - 980NM - 1064NM could be used as a IR aiming laser for thermal? Seems to be the same wave length as the mawl clad. I don’t know much about this stuff just looking into it.
Sure would be nice with 18650 driven versions.
At the 5:40 mark... what mount is that?
Would like to know as well! Seems like a great way to reduce clutter on rails.
~$150 for NiteCore I7, dual mode. 5 power levels, remote if wanted, switchable, and vis is 2500 lumens. Not sure what its IR rating is, but it's solid.
I like Olight's ideas I really do. I just wish someone would make them work in a good package.
It pains me to know that there's a small crossover between people who own nods, and people who would seriously consider anything from olight
Lol, its all about how much cash your playing with. Wide range of NV out there, and a wide range of flash lights. I dont have either of these, but applaud anyone who has made the purchase. Its a big commitment for many.
The Olights I do have I've have never had one fail...Of course I'm not saying Olight is the best but when I've had lights like my Modlite and Inforce light fail on first use it's makes Olight looks better.... Rather than listening to the internet I like to get that first hand experience so I can see the results for myself
@@Highgear145 the people who hate Olight only do so because their circle jerk buddies tell them to
Hop keep on rocking. I like ur content
OLIGHT is a great light - their warranty makes it an easy choice for most civilians
Your my go too dude with everything nightvison. It's so rad having videos that are so honest. I need a ir illuminator looking between the surefire vampire not sure if I should get the single or double cell light? Have you used the weltool lights at all?
21700 and 20700 are not the same cell. for me 21700 arent an issue since i got other flashlights with those cells
Thanks for the comparison. Seems like the issues you brought up are ‘fixable’ within the same price range.
Hop , if the poors really need a companion light to go with their sionix.
Do a compare of the nitecore dual head light. It at least has decent performance and a real swap between emitters
I'm really interested to know why you hate rechargeable batteries. Light systems seems to get more power out of them and they last as long if not longer than CR123-powered lights.
people dont like recharging them
Comparing an ied to a surefire
can you make a video explaining your helmet setup, an could you possibly talk about a NIGHTFOX ir flash light?
The number on lion batteries like that is a size thing. They’re the same tech just more lithium more capacity. Same voltage.
damn，I like that price.
Not here to defend Olight but….. 21700 batteries are superior to cr123 batteries with the only “downside” being the extra size and “weight”. Yes it is rechargeable and I guess if you are on a 10 day top secret backyard bbq mission and need a light, then you might run into issues with not being able to just toss the old and replace with a new battery. They have a higher continuous amp discharge rate and higher capacity which is why they are slowly replacing the 18650 cell that is found in most rechargeable lithium battery packs. Great video as usual hop
You forgot one other key point. Cr123s are generally good for 10yrs. Rechargeable generally last maybe 1yr before going dead.
@@jonathanrogers9961 I am not being rude, but I do not know where you are getting your data on that at all. Lithium ion batteries can be stored for years without being charged. They are after all the primary battery used in power tool batteries, electric cars, drones etc. All batteries begin to lose power as they sit idle. While I agree that non rechargeable lithium batteries do have a “longer” shelf life, it is a minimum advantage. The advantage in capacity and ability to be recharged is such an advantage over a disposable cell with the average life cycle being 300-500 discharge cycles. The only advantage that I can see of a non rechargeable system is I suppose if you are hoarding batteries on storage for the zombie apocalypse lol
@@yankeecantrell incorrect. While they degrade significantly slower than Nimi or nicad they still degrade. I'm by experience they lose 50% of their charge around the 6-9 month mark. Lithium in contrast, if not used, will be good without being touched in 10 years. I prefer lithium I'm my weapon lights as they get used I infrequently and I only change the batteries every 5 years. Vs having to pull them and charge them every couple months to keep them topped up.
Has Olight stopped using plastic on their front lens? Had mine turn on in a pocket and it melted.

You know, I dabbled in night vision many a year ago. I swear this shit wasn't as expensive then... Is it because there's a "real market" now so manufacturers can charge more?
Demand is through the roof
Any video of someone trashing olight is a good video !!!! Olight blowssssssss
Hey Hop, great stuff as always. 2 quick questions for you. In your other NV videos you talk about how vis lasers are garbage and not necessary. It seems like they were all the rage a few years ago, were they always a bad concept or are they just outdated? If you have NV, what does the white light do for you?
Vis lasers don't do anything for me but white lights are immediately accessible and for use at all times, not just at night. If you have to peek under a vehicle or into a building or into some very sharp shadows the white light is useful in the day.
@M. Denz I used to think the same thing about handguns (that vis-laser was better than a dot), and I still have a Glock 17 w/ streamlight light+green laser combo for home defense. The “no learning curve” makes it easier for my significant other to use it, and my realistic HD distances are very low.
However testing red dot vs vis-laser at the range (after training with both for a year), on a timer, at ranges from 5-50 yards, I have found the red dot to be objectively better in terms of speed and accuracy (for me). Even a green laser is hard to pickup at times on bright sunny days, and repeatable accuracy is significantly worse, especially at longer distances (which I think are still realistic for outside of the home SD scenarios). So my HD gun has a vis-laser, and my EDC has a red dot. Both are useful, though I think if my partner was more interested/trained more, I would consider going red dot on the HD gun as well.
Also light+laser combos on pistols are too big for many to EDC, and holster options are limited. I’m a “all-the-lumens” guy so I prefer a really good handheld (with Thyrm switchback to make 2-handed shooting sorta doable) to any sort of weak WML.
If you know your enemy has NV capabilities just keep your finger of the IR buttons until you get to shoot each other under 50 meters, otherwise you just give your position away without actually having to use it, at 50+ just aim passively through your red dot sight or get a clip on on it. White light is always handy to see in dark spots or in dark rooms inside buildings or just to blind the sucker that comes at you with NVs, dazzle the fuck out of them with 80.000 candela in their intensifying tubes.
if you're trying to hit hogs from a moving vehicle vis lasers are the best way to do it.
is that relevant to "tacticool" scenarios? you decide for yourself
Why would you use a laser in lieu of sights? Can't imagine you're doing it during the day too since the laser would be incredibly hard to see; and at night I'd imagine you're also using a white light which may overpower your visible laser if it's some sort of strong, flood light.
I only have experience with olights and recently had to use it. With about 5-10 minutes of real use, I now see why people aren’t a fan. The brightness was significantly reduced but fortunately it was enough for that short situation. Had I needed throughout the night I would’ve been in a bad spot.
However Olight is better than no light, but save up for better if you can.
Do I have to register the Odin as a destructive device?
I think the firearms community is the only community I have ever heard complain about the use of superior 21700 cells over 18650s.
CR123s are superior to all secondary cells.
@@Hoplopfheil Only an idiot would actually believe that. I choose to believe you're just joking.
You are entering into the “flashlight” vs “firearm” zone…flashlight people are only looking for what is highest performance, firearms folks maybe focus a little too much on absolute reliability and convenience…ultimately it’s a fine balance that is the winner and hop I figure u got this one right, as an olight fan boi who has an Odin LEP on my rifle right now…facts are facts 🤷🏻♂️
@@brentmellinger1798 I tried the Odin. It went back.. glad yours was better than mine. For weapon lights I prefer cr123s. They are good for around 10yrs. So I can put it in and not have to worry about whether it's charged or not. I want a firearm that is as reliable and dependable as possible. And I feel a weapon light should be the same.
Surefire vs sure, fire
Yes, but can it julienne fries?
That mount makes sense…
once it gets hot that thing doubles as a grenade
If you have the need for an IR light you probably have to money to not have to settle for an Olight.
$450 MSRP light vs $170 MSRP light. nuf said.

In 5:37, what kind of ir laser and mount is that?
I wasnt able to find it in the video but what kind of mount was that? the laser light combo you had looked really slick on that mount.
Unity Fusion Hub
*Insert joke about Olight being dual use light and thermite grenade*
What IR Laser and switch that activates both is that? Kinda glossed over that. That’s an awesome solution for avoiding a NGAL or MAWL
It's not, I've talked about that setup before and it's really suboptimal
@@Hoplopfheil Oh ok cool. I don't really understand what makes it suboptimal on paper.
@@Hoplopfheil Care to explain what makes it suboptimal to having an NGAL and separate illuminator?
Thanks for fighting the good fight against “rechargeable only” weaponlights, which should be an oxymoron.
Curious, why? Seems like you can much more easily recharge 18650/18350s from all sorts of sources, compared to having to stock up on relatively hard to find CR123s
@@jimmyc7269 I would like to know as well. I have been recharging 18650s for more than 10 years. The outer plastic fails before they do in my experience.
Olight may have a high lumen rating, but their candela is absolute garbage. Their weapon lights are a joke, their small pistol light has a habit of separating from it's mount. Furthermore, there's the proprietary magnetic charger, and the habit of randomly turning on when it's not needed, added onto their thermal regulation issues.
Doubles as a incendiary grenade if you look at it wrong.
Yep, my olight mini valkyrie broke off it's mount after only a month of use. I don't trust anything from them.
Never had a problem with olight coming of any mount...
@@blackops8996 Good for you! that's what we like to call, "Anecdotal"! it's a good word, you should learn it. also, I noticed you comment saying that Olight is straight up better for real world performance and that this channel is populated by Surefire fanboys. Now, I don't own either so I'm pretty neutral in this situation, let me be the first to say that you're just wrong.
I have had tailcap issues with their EDC lights as well. Customer service sucks too. I would get foreign transaction fees from China everytime I would buy from their site. They would reverse the fees, but it shouldnt be an issue to begin with. (Happened 3-4 times and stopped buying after that last occurence)
Hey Hop, at 5:45 what pressure switch were you using with the fusion hub?
I have a normal Odin that I bought about a year or so ago and the tape switch is absolute garbage. It worked fine for a while but the more that you play with it the less responsive it becomes. It got to the point to where I literally had to hit it to get the light to turn off. So trying to do a momentary with that tape switch just playing around the yard at night turned into a serious fuck this moment. I still have the light on the rifle without the tape switch but I will eventually replace it. The light itself has been great though so it will still hang around And probably go on something that is just for screwing around
I'm done with olight WMLs and hand-helds. Instead of refining a few models to function well they just keep cranking out new stuff that isn't tested enough. I have battery issues and flickering with most of my newer models. While lights like the odin mini and warrior x have decent output and candela they achieve this by chewing up the battery life in the first few minutes of use. My warrior x is a freakin spotlight for about 5 minutes (on and off) and then it steps down so far that it doesn't justify the size. I'd rather pay more and have slightly less output for a better run time. Also the charging cables have shit the bed on me more than a few times.
What are your thoughts on the Insight wmx200 if you have used one?
Hail Hop.
$160 vs $500 not really a competition.

thanks for the unbiased review!
jah lumen alone doesnt mean anything, its the beam pattern that makes the flashlight
candels is the real number we want, but hardly anybody puts that on their box. Lumens = spill width, candels = the brightness of the hot spot in the middle.
@@Wabaanimkii lumens is apparently somewhat linked to brightness as well iirc, candela is the light intendity itself right,
anyway, i have lights with 2000 lumen that reach a lot further than 4000 lumen lights so the later are a bit pointless to me. especially when you can barely see the difference between 2k and 4k lumens on my klarus G15
I kinda like the high spill and wide patterns on some lights. Makes it easier to see around what you're pointing your light. Wouldn't recommend it on a "ranch rifle", or something else you'd use in a field or in a city street, but I think there's something to say about illuminating a whole room with one light.
@@andreivaldez2929 i like hybrids the most, decent throw with lots of spill so people next to me can see where they are going while i hold the lamp to see forward
