I love that it has a warmer tone to the low setting. I’m a big fan of kerosene lanterns and it’s nice to have a safer option for indoors during power outages that isn’t harsh like most LEDs
So I watched this video a while back and had to ask for one for Christmas. I turn it on each night on low since Christmas. 6 hours a night and it’s still going strong! Light is still green. It’s amazing!! I just love the ambiance.
I recently got a goal zero lantern and this Olight lantern beats GZ on the battery life, looks, charging options and lighting options. Kids like to have the light on at night especially if they are a little scared. Yep.
Mine should be arriving tomorrow, I went with the Coleman green as well. Looks to be a vast improvement over the original Olantern imo. Thanks Don, be blessed brother!
I have 5-6 UST 60DAY/30DAY/PICO lanterns. Have had them for years and they are excellent. Run times are what is advertised, they are well made with nice features.
I have 5 of the 30 day lanterns with D cells and rechargeable batteries for long term but I so loved the new Olight lantern I bought the new copper colored version of that because of the beautiful color output and low intensity option. I have many solar batteries so the USB output is already appreciated.
What a great review!. Comprehensive, clear and with good examples referring to reliability , utility and functionality. No doubt a great light, it is compact, versatile with a sober and vintage look. 😎 Thank you for posting such great educational videos.

Thanks for the review! A nice description and informative. Looks like there is a third color added, a lighter beige. Just bought a few starting my Xmas shopping!
In all due respect because I do value your information I for the life of me cannot figure out why people continue to purchase products, such as this Olantern, that are made by China a country that does not have the USA’s best interest at heart, mildly put !!
According to the information I could find, Olight products are made in China. I prefer to buy products that are made in the United States or in countries that are our world partners.
When it comes to the light market sorry but alot of the usa manufacturers have failed to do one thing that's critical innovate and update Maglite bulky, uses plastic lenses that get scratched easily, no mode memory, shitty run times, and declining quality control i've had 3 mini mag led lights have stopped working outright or had intermittent shut offs with fresh batteries. Surefire overpriced overhyped proprietary garbage that has poor run times no mode memory and just because the military uses them doesn't mean its well made it means they contract out so it can be sold cheaper. Streamlight solid budget lights that lack modern features and proprietary features on some lights make them less enticing only thing keeping them in the game in my book is their affordable and reliable thats it. Pelican Too many cases of their polymer lights cracking and honestly didn't even knew they made lights mostly know them for their cases. Princeton tec little to no features and as for other options usa made not many are very competitive then again I've mostly ditched olight for fenix lights now cause i've yet to have a fenix light die on me. I've had several issues with my olights my old s10r died randomly, S30r parasitic draw on the battery cause a light is worthless if it drains itself, another olight developed tailswitch issues 3 months into owning it.
@@Horde334 you've made some valid points regarding the flashlight/lantern market. It sounds as though you have quite a bit of experience and knowledge about the quality or lack thereof of the made in U.S.A. lights that are available. I own a Streamlight flashlight and a Surefire flashlight and I've had Maglite products over the years. I like them pretty well but again, you've pointed out some of the problems with those companies. I'll look into the Fenix brand to see what they've got. Thanks for the insights.
@@melissasmess2773 no it's a sealed single unit... But down the road you can disassemble the light and battery to "mod" it, I know people who juice up lithium batteries all the time.
Another GREAT review Don! How about some MARLIN (Ruglin) reviews on the 1895's to go with you "Lever Rifles" series? And....When are WE going to get the 1894's and 336 Carbine & Rifles from Marlin to review AND to our LGS!!???
I bought 2 of these. Now iam trying to figure out what power bank to get. I spend 10 days out on hikes. What power bank do you recommend? Great video thanks.
OLIGHT needs to add the "LED Jog dial" found on their Warrior 3s/Seeker 3 Pro flashlights....on their lanterns. They already have this proprietary TECH....why wouldn't thy put it on their O-Lanterns???? already?? People who would be thinking of buying one or more...or already have a few...are likely "flashlight enthusiasts" to some degree. Should have more than enough working flashlights at all times...and because of that...realiticaly it's hard for everyone to remember to keep so many lights charged.... Also...OLIHGT needs to also make lanterns that can be run on standard AA batteries "just in-case"...on that extremely likely chance all our flashlgihts have lost their charges or are about to. Odd OLGHT hasn't made these changes or additions yet...
I love Olight products, but I refuse to pay $79.99 sale price for a light when I can get that same type Coleman Lantern for $34 on Amazon Prime. I just purchased (2) sets of EZORKAS Camp Lanterns for $18.99 per set with free delivery from Amazon. These lights are rechargeable and will also run on 3 AAA batteries as backup. The Olight Lantern is 300 lumins vs 350 lunims for the Ezorkas which means nothing to me. The most important piece is quality, price, and it has battery backup.
I have resisted the Olight stuff for a while because of the prices, going with cheaper competitors. But $75 for this seemed like a steal… AND it came with a free Obulb orb looking thing, they are like $40. So I pulled the trigger. This thing is awesome. Most important is the color temperature. I do not understand why so many lights are this bright blue 5k-6k+… umm guys, we use lights…. Get this…. At niiight. The white/blue is great to have, but my main concern is that it has a low temp, warm light, so as not to keep you up at night.
I just purchased the rechargeable o light BUT they sent the cord but no way I can charge it. They don’t send a adapter for it. What do you use to charge it in a wall outlet. I have an iPhone and those adapters don’t fit. So need to know how I can charge this 100.00 light? Not much help from the company for this
you need a usb c charger. Like the 20w new apple iphone charger. Costs 15 bucks or so. you can also use a usb c port on your computer or an older usb port with an usb a to c cable. charging speed would be however slower. I recommend getting the apple 20w power brick.
Olight has a strange habit of releasing videos on new equipment after early access and also videos like this being released pretty much after the sale is done. There should be the official videos and then channels like this showing thr products at least 5 days early.
@@flotilia9 Thanks for that, 130 lumens of white light for 35 hours sounds good.if we do experience days at a time of grid down, this light will light a room for a few nights.
Way better than a flashlight do you ever get tired of telling people to spend their money on these gadgets especially with the economic turmoil we're going through
I know you need the income streams to keep your channel up and running, and that I can appreciate, but,,,,, IMO and from my experiences with Olight, their products are garbage and their customer service is virtually nonexistent!

That’s why I bought it too! I already have 5 of the 30 day lanterns, which are great backup lighting.
Lmfao

You set the standard for reviews. This is the most comprehensive review of this product I have watched. Thank you!
I bought a very similar light on Amazon for $20.
Sweet, but not an Olight😎
I recently got a goal zero lantern and this Olight lantern beats GZ on the battery life, looks, charging options and lighting options. Kids like to have the light on at night especially if they are a little scared.
Yep.
Mine should be arriving tomorrow, I went with the Coleman green as well. Looks to be a vast improvement over the original Olantern imo. Thanks Don, be blessed brother!
I have 5-6 UST 60DAY/30DAY/PICO lanterns. Have had them for years and they are excellent. Run times are what is advertised, they are well made with nice features.
Me too, the large 30 day models, always ready, not charming like this, had to buy an Olight, I got many of their products already.
Have a couple as well, but they are NOT rechargeable and Not a battery source either
The lantern seems great!
Edit: Thanks for the reply! Love your videos!
It's a quality light. Thanks for stopping by
i cant decide on a colour, i like them all...
Nice light! Love the pug too! We have 3 that look just like yours
Just ordered one. Another great product from Olight.
awesome review mate. probably gonna get this lantern, like how it has got 2 mode, dimmed bulb mode and the white led mode.
I have 5 of the 30 day lanterns with D cells and rechargeable batteries for long term but I so loved the new Olight lantern I bought the new copper colored version of that because of the beautiful color output and low intensity option. I have many solar batteries so the USB output is already appreciated.
I think the description of the light source is it has the "Edison" light bulb design. Most residential bulbs are going to that style.
We are having power outages in south Africa for up to 6 or more hours a day. One of these is needed for my house.
I've been looking for a good lantern that has that look with ambient light!
What a great review!.
Comprehensive, clear and with good examples referring to reliability , utility and functionality.
No doubt a great light, it is compact, versatile with a sober and vintage look. 😎

Give it a rest man.
Your phone your car everything in your house comes from China. STFU already
China never made a lantern worth $80

I mean something like this, with say a solar panel to charge it, is great for prepping.
Great lamp! I just got two of them in copper.
Olight has a sale until 15th, they are $79 only!
Battery capacity is 11,200 mah. It's 4x 18650s.
Can you replace the 18650’s? I love those cells.
@@melissasmess2773 no it's a sealed single unit... But down the road you can disassemble the light and battery to "mod" it, I know people who juice up lithium batteries all the time.
I don't think you can charge the lamp through the USB-A outlet, only through the USB-C port.
Exactly, usb A is an output for charging other devices
Slick! Just bought for camping.
Very good test and demo! Thanks!

Wow! Expensive!
WOW, it has the FELIX Seal of Approval! HOW can I not get 2 or 3??? Next rev should give us a red option. Thanks, Don.
I was stuck between this and the barebones railroad lantern but the lack of removable battery swayed me towards barebones.
thx for the video i just ordered 2 in camo green
awesome vid!
Thanks!
I bought 2 of these. Now iam trying to figure out what power bank to get. I spend 10 days out on hikes. What power bank do you recommend? Great video thanks.

So the price is $80 for one lantern?

How hot does it get if left on for a while?
It’s 300 lumens so don’t expect too much heat. You won’t even notice
Buy a cheaper light and store food in your pantry. Your welcome.
5:00 11200 mah battery not 1120.
