I was provided with the forum's M2R Pro Warrior light. I will say up front I'm not a picky consumer on the flashlight front and am perhaps not the best person for a comparison/review. I can compare it to an incandescent Mag-lite (Mag-lite is better for whacking people with, Warrior wins everything else). I can compare it to a few Fenix offerings, I suppose.
Really I can just say I like it. I think the controls are well laid out and work intuitively. I like the magnetic charging doo-dickey you just put on the tail cap and it charges. I appreciate it charges off a USB as I can charge it in my car if I should need to. I like the 'moonlight' mode for interior/up-close work without blinding yourself, and the brightest setting is REALLY bright.
I searched a tow lot with K9 and used it quite a bit. It does get warm very rapidly but doesn't get too hot to handle.
My only quibble isn't with the light itself, it's the pouch it came with. There are several ways to mount it, but I would definitely not rely on the button holding it on. The plastic clip that holds the lid closed can be a bit fiddly to lock as well. The light itself, no issues I can think of. (Also, the box it came in is actually really cool for a box).
Sorta around sometimes for some of your shitty mod needs.
Thanks for this. I just ordered their Array headlight through the affiliate link and used the PF discount.
What I like about this light is its small size, light weight and reports of being comfortable to wear. I'll be using it for a variety of purposes but mostly for vacuuming to bust dust bunnies and fur balls lurking in dark places under furniture and in tight corners.
FWIW, I just purchased a Pro Team Super Coach Pro 6 backpack vacuum. It's a commercial grade piece of gear and it's amazing how much faster the job gets done without dragging a regular upright vacuum around the house. With two dogs it makes dealing with fur ball infestations much easier.
I just received my order today. I’m charging the Odin weapon light and I like the I5T so far.
Just a dog chauffeur that used to hold the dumb end of the leash.
Does the above offend? If you have paid to be here, you can click here to put it in context.
Rather than starting a new thread, what's the deal with the lawsuit alleging an Oilight exploded and killed a guy ?

Caleb Joyner, of Avon, Ind., was pronounced dead at 8:30 p.m. on Wednesday at Presence St. Mary's Hospital, according to Kankakee County Coroner Bob Gessner.
The 36-year-old Joyner, who owns a remodeling and construction company, was an organ donor and several of his organs and tissue were harvested.
According to Gessner, Joyner stopped in the parking lot at Lowe's, 860 North Kinzie Ave., in Bradley, because something was wrong with his vehicle on Tuesday night.
Gessner said Joyner was looking under the hood and bent down for a closer look. He got close to the vehicle's battery and the flashlight exploded.
