Great video! do you have any experience with the Olight PL-2 and/or the streamlight TLR-1 HL on rifles?

i've seen lots of positives about the Olight, but have also read about failures, too.

I have a few Olight products thanks to a massive sale they had a little while ago. For the money they are a great second string. It would be silly to put Surefire money into every single light I have from rifles to the junk drawer. These fit somewhere in between.

I really love that so many models are rechargeable since I'm done burning through batteries. The light is good. The magnetic charging plate is pretty cool and easy. The Baldr mini is an especially interesting design in my opinion and it's riding on my M&P 9c. I have a Warrior X that throws light a long, long way.

The downside is that I have a feeling they aren't stress tested very thoroughly. One of the small handhelds I have gets really hot quickly. Too hot to hold on to.

All in all pretty good for the money so far.

I do have a TLR-1 (not HL) on one of my rifles. It's been through one night match and did a great job. I really like it and their pressure switch design.

Plan on reviewing the Cloud Defensive REIN?

You mean the one review on YouTube that sent Modlite off into a vengeful fit against influencers wasn’t enough, ��.

I didn't see the InForce being tested. Did I miss it? If so, what's the time stamp?

Does Fenix make gun lights? I liked the handheld I had that I lost before it broke.

Watched said video. Both lights look to be more reliable and higher performance than the others that you tested. The OWL is really nice, but I’d rather save some cash and get a REIN compact or Modlight.

4:25 did both back to back. They are essentially the same bezel.

We tested an OWL and a Modlite PLHV2, the smaller one, in this vid. we have an OKW coming in, but after the PLHV2 I doubt it will be brighter.

Thanks. I was jumping back and forth trying to spot when they picked them up off the table... And that was my mistake: They never showed picking them up.
