Prepared Guy gives you an in-depth look at the Olight Warrior X4 10% OFF CODE: PG10 OLIGHT WARRIOR X4: m.olightstore.com/s/1O6JMD CHECK OUT EVERYTHING PREPARED GUY HERE: linktr.ee/preparedguy
I use the warrior x pro for duty. Have had it for a couple of years now. I loved the magnetic charger because i can easily throw it to charge the same way i throw my radio to charge. I appreciate the usb charge if you need to top off on the go but i dont want them to get rid of the magnetic charge
I accidentally bumped my Olight Odin on in my coat and melted a hole in the pocket. I smelled burning plastic and thought, "Someone's burning something around here", but it was ME! It was like a cartoon.
I use a Warrior 3 on duty and own a Warrior x3. I fond the tail switch buttons to basically not even give the realistic option of a low mode so I prefer to use the 3 for duty as the side switch can be used for low... I love my EDC Warrior mini 3 and the new tail switch button struck me as necessary in any full size Warrior going ahead. I'm hoping this switch, which looks the same, handles the same way in which case this light will be a winner!
Thanks for the review. According to the Olight 2023 Black Friday - New Product Launch Event!!! announcement video at about 17 minutes, Olight Johnson states and shows that the C port is sealed, so the Warrior X 4 is still IPX8 with the ring open.
Well I have to say finally olight actually upgraded a light instead of just making a new color and calling it an upgrade 😂😂 impressed with this light!!! It's been 2 years since I said that about olight😂😂
I tried to go to seeker pro 4 to replace my original Warrior X as primary duty light and I prefer the warriorX in every way except no battery indicator. The seeker was actually a letdown for me. The 1/4 turn was a problem when you need light fast. I prefer a thrower to a flood for duty use. I have a warrior 3 for back up. This light might be a winner.
Olight has a video on this light and they show it under water with tge type c charging port exposed so I'm assuming it's water proof if it's cover is opened or closed
Can you do me a favor and try charging using a usb C to C cable? Previously they fucked that up on the Gober. They forgot to add internal resistors, so that they did not adhere to the usb C norms and charging did not work.
Warrior X 3 is hands down my favorite torch from Olight. What they missed from the new one is the warrior ring, one of the reason i like X 3 so much, it acts as defensive weapon and enhances the grip from the light. Those zirkonian beeds would have been nice on this model too.
I absolutely agree 👍 If the Warrior X 4 also came with a Warrior ring, heck if they somehow managed to upgrade the ring, I would've definitely considered buying one! I actually wonder if the ring would be interchangeable with the WX4. Hmm. Who knows? Until then, like you said, I love my Warrior X 3!
I don't like that you can't access strobe from both modes. I would much rather have it working like this: Regular mode - half press low, full press medium, double light press turbo and tripple light press strobe (or double full press). Hold on last press for momentary. Tactical mode - half press turbo, full press strobe
How long is the hallway? I have the 3s and it’ll light up a good distance. The warrior x series will reach out further with a tighter hotspot but with good spill!
As far as the instruction manual said there is only two modes. And I didn't experience a third mode or a medium mode during my testing. Maybe their referencing to the step-downs when the light becomes hot.
There is a medium mode but it's within the tactical setting of the torch. The instructions state the torch must be turned on and the tail cap unscrewed until power drops off then retightened. Then you have only medium (1000 lumen) or strobe modes. Repeat to return to low/high mode operation.
There is a medium level : it is half press while in tactical mode (1000lm). Full press is 2600lm strobe. Normal mode is high (2600lm) for full press and low for half press (it's lower than medium but I don't remember how much). A selector switch rather than unscrewing it would have been way more pratical... Who's got such an idea seriously ?!
The warrior ring screams 'airsoft'. It's not a good impact weapon, will break your finger if you try to bezel strike with it, and you can't use it like a switchback. I think someone finally told them it was stupid, and they got rid of it. Just like the glow in the dark o-ring. The WX4 finally feels like a tool more than a toy.
Totally random and unrelated to basically everything but you kind of sound like the lock picking lawyer it was driving me nuts trying to figure out why your voice was so familiar

🤣🤣🤣 that means you're officially part of the olight family now. The light has chosen you 🤣👍
@@PreparedGuy In an emergency, they can double as a heat source.
Same happend to me
A real detailled review, loving it!!! Thanks for the video!
My pleasure!

looks like a good progression from the warrior X3, but not enough different to replace my X3 with the X4.
I also think they should have kept the glass breaking beads in the head
If you don't own any of the warrior line do you think the 4 would be the best option?
I really hope that they decide to offer that tac ring.
Nice! I really like the sheath.
Well I have to say finally olight actually upgraded a light instead of just making a new color and calling it an upgrade 😂😂 impressed with this light!!! It's been 2 years since I said that about olight😂😂
The x3 also has glass breaker beads on it.

The 1/4 turn is fine with me, but the Seekers are flood lights.
I'll buy one if and when a Tactical Ring is available for it.
Where is the glass breaker beads at the end?? Can’t believe they took that away
my top three flashlights are SOFIRIN SC33, NITECORE SRT9 and LUMINTOP EDC18
Olight has a video on this light and they show it under water with tge type c charging port exposed so I'm assuming it's water proof if it's cover is opened or closed
What would yall recommend for a streamlight stinger size light that is more efficient battery wise but still has the side switch on/off?
Where did you get this folding warrior ring ? Don't see it on Olight web site ... (I'm from France, maybe it's only available only in your country ?)
i only dig lights with RBG function now , they need to come up with another one of those , Murader Mini was the last one
Yeah I'm a big fan of those too, those are fun.
Can you do me a favor and try charging using a usb C to C cable? Previously they fucked that up on the Gober. They forgot to add internal resistors, so that they did not adhere to the usb C norms and charging did not work.
Thanks for the look. Does the ring from the x3 fit on the x4?
Excellent question. Yes it does! 😎👍
Hello everyone ! I need on opinion on what flashlight to get for universal use , such as camping , hiking etc . Thank you !
The olight seeker 4 pro is the most well rounded flashlight for camping.
Is that strobe full bright?
nice 1 . think i will stick with my X3💯as no real difference
Looking good.
The port is waterproof. The cover is as much for protection as anything.
Warrior X 3 is hands down my favorite torch from Olight. What they missed from the new one is the warrior ring, one of the reason i like X 3 so much, it acts as defensive weapon and enhances the grip from the light. Those zirkonian beeds would have been nice on this model too.
And the glass breaker
As a defensive tool not sure, knuckle rings and knuckle dusters in general are good at breaking your own fingers.
I absolutely agree 👍 If the Warrior X 4 also came with a Warrior ring, heck if they somehow managed to upgrade the ring, I would've definitely considered buying one! I actually wonder if the ring would be interchangeable with the WX4. Hmm. Who knows? Until then, like you said, I love my Warrior X 3!
Great review video! 👍
Glad you liked it

Tactical mode - half press turbo, full press strobe
Thanks for this video. I see no reason to upgrade from x3 to x4... tactical ring missing and no tungsten balls on the front
Thrym switch back
Would you recommend the warrior 3s or the x4 for looking down a very long hallway and lighting everything up?
How long is the hallway? I have the 3s and it’ll light up a good distance. The warrior x series will reach out further with a tighter hotspot but with good spill!
The warrior x 4 is the best one for that.
Can you remove the grip piece on the flashlight that sticks out without any damage occurring?
Yes
@@PreparedGuythank you
Does it still have the glow in the dark gasket in the bezel?
Unfortunately it doesn't and I'm a little sad about that..
@@PreparedGuy really? I think removing it is a huge upgrade. When I turn my light off, I want it to be off. Especially on a 'tactical' light.
Does the x3 grip ring fit on the x4?
Yes
The usb cover isn't "waterproof", the usb port itself is "waterproof".
Fantastic 👌👍😊
On the website it shows it has a medium mode? No medium...
As far as the instruction manual said there is only two modes. And I didn't experience a third mode or a medium mode during my testing. Maybe their referencing to the step-downs when the light becomes hot.

Excellent editing.
Thanks!
can I buy the X3's Tactical Ring and shove it on this X4?
I don't believe that you can buy the X3 ring separately. A lot of people would like to see that available on the website.
Thrym switch back ring look it up
👍
This seems oddly expensive for what it offers.
