All of your videos have been so helpful! Thank you for the extremely informative content!! Keep up the great work!
Glad you like them!
Thank you...indecisive, and numbers nerd guys like myself really appreciate you taking the time to make these kinda comparison vids ❤️💪🏾👌🏾
No problem! Just trying out some new ideas to clear the fog around some of these topics. Hopefully we can grow this type of testing out in the future.
I run the Streamlight RM1 at 12 o’clock on my 11.3” home defense setup and it’s just bright enough for CQB. It’s a good light but, I don’t think I’d buy another one. I was interested in the RM2 and I think I’ll pick one up. Great video.
The protac HLX only has a 23 hour battery life if it's set to low.
When it's set to high using it's full 1000 lumen power, it's 1.25 hours, close to the TLR RM2.
Otherwise, great test. Very informative. Only thing id like to see is the side to side length of their beams, and strength at the widest angles away from the center.
Also, did you move the light stand at all between the two shots at 4:20?
Exactly what I was going to say. The HLX actually has a shorter battery life on high
Exactly right! I think there are 4-5 different tests we can develop from this preliminary experiment that can start to pit all these light options against each other in a low variable, repeatable, test. (Battery life at different settings, beam angle and spread, intensity at distance, ... the list goes on!) As for this test all factors, including height/distance from target, were exactly the same for both lights.
@@At3tactical Thanks. In that case the TLR RM2 does have a nice advantage in illumination width in that shot at 4:20. That could be a subject of testing for other lights.
I have the HLX and ordered the RM2 with green laser last night so thank you for making this video! Production quality is great btw love your channel
Glad to help and thanks for checking us out!
Where did you order it from??
@@searcheryea6579 Hopefully AT3 Tactical?! 🤞 😅
@At3tactical well I'll be 😅😂
Very cool video, can't wait to see the next, I basically say oh more lumens! The better but that's not the real deal, I guess?? I actually have no idea what lights to buy for what weapon...pistol, rifle, etc 🤷
We had the same questions too. Hopefully small/short tests like these help!
I have a Streamlight with red laser on my 300 B/O. I love it. I couldn't say which one it is but it does what I need it to do. I also have a Sightmark light/laser/IR on my 556 with an IR scope. Its bulky and gets banged on quite a bit. I may upgrade to the Streamlight that has IR capability based on the compactness.
Great insight! Thanks for giving your first hand experience. :)
Yo... when are you guys gonna make full video on riffle lights ..... It will be a very good addition to AR-15 library ....please and thank you Randy. You know since you done slings, stocks, and stuff...and maybe a video on laser too please
Alot of work went into this video 🎉😊
Now ^^ here's a guy who understands production value! Thanks! I'm hoping we get back to this one a bit more "scientificy" with a BUNCH more lights. -Randy
Very much so.
You taking light measurements? Never thought I’d see this again!! Haha good job.
😂 Thanks Man! Bro, you know I gotta find a way to debunk weapon lights! This was just a little test at a concept... Wait until I circle back to lights. You know where that goes!!
I have a par meter you can barrow. Haha @@At3tactical
I think we need some more light videos!
I bet you would...! 😂 Don't worry, once we get through a bunch of this basic stuff, the list of "Investigative" videos continues to grow and grow. A LOT of myths to bust over here in the 2A space!
Ah! Finally. I followed you on BRS. Been reefing for years. My "#2 fill up my time and empty my wallet since Im retired" are my ARs. Good seeing you apply legit tests and explain what and how they work. Thank you. By the way. Do you still reef??
Thanks! Got quite a few ideas for some legitimate testing and this one shows promise for even more tests down the road. 👍. Unfortunately, I've got my pans in far too many fires these days to have time for a tank, but I keep my eyes on the hobby still.
I sold my 90% restored 65 Mustang to start my saltwater addiction. At the time I had too many pans in the fire, myself. There are times I miss ole' Frankenstang but then I look at my two tanks, the fish and the growing corals and feel like I made the right choice. Now that Im putting more focus and time into my "bang bang" I'm eyeballing my guitars, RC flying, and 3d printing to figure out which one will go to free up space, time, and funds. The struggle is real. LOL Good seeing you on youtube. I'm following and learning.
The Streamlight ProTac hl-X 23 hour has got to be on the low setting. Because It only gets 1.2 hours on high by what they say if you are using the big battery with the flashlight on high setting. The candela drops down to 21,000 using the 123 batteries but the run time is 1.5 hours on high setting.
I don't know about the other flashlight, because I don't own one.
The Streamlight brand tends to give you the best bang the buck, while still being a quality made light in my opinion.
Though other higher cost brands can give you a better spot they don't seem to be any better in durability from the videos I've watched and the prices are alot higher for a relatively small improvement in performance.
Now Olight might be another lower cost option too, but I have no experience with that brand.
This is just my opinion based on videos comparisons and my experience with streamlights that I've owned
, not all streamlights, just the ones I've owned.
data driven test with side by side comparison for reference = sub
Thanks! And we're just getting started.... Wait until you see TODAY's release on "Gas Busting" charging handles.😳 -Randy
@@At3tactical awesome, I appreciate the work
BEst video I’ve seen in a while
Ha! Thanks! Just testing some video concepts and measurable ways to compare products we buy. Not sure the world is ready for a full blown journey down this rabbit hole just yet, but time will come when we chase this topic down even further. 👍
Science is always a great topic
Pretty fun to learn something new! Thanks for checking it out.
Thought BRS was selling weapon lights. 😂
😄😄 You already know how deep this rabbit hole can get. I'm 100% coming back to this!
HL-X
That is a great light.
i have put about 2000 down on this build im doing, 95% "premium" parts, but i cant justify spending $400 on a light setup. The value of the product just isnt there for me. what exactly am i paying for? i ordered an HL-X. $100 out the door and lights up good enough for me.
100% !
Smart man , I did the same as you !! HL-X is more than enough
