After a year of testing we bring an Olight M2R Warrior to the table for a review.  You'll see its 21700 battery at the heart of its impressive capabilities.  As I've always said, it's all about the battery choice and Olight opened up a new frontier with the 21700.  For its 6.4 oz weight you'll see the Warrior is all its variations is ready for a bunch of lighting POUs.  TD and I discuss this.  We'll show beam shots, construction, quality, recharging methodology, and talk about how smart Olight is in making these special editions all the time.  They all sell extraordinarily quick so you'll have to jump on it when you see it.  A highly recommended light.

Ooh, I can't wait to see this one!

Scout154

I love mine. However I had to send it back due to it was not charging.

NatvMan

Gotta love Olight. I have a few plights, and looks like I have another that I need to get. But I think I will save up for another TNP knife. Keep up the good work Nutn!

Joshua Pulliam

Hi, my name is Josh, I am a 3rd stage gear clinger. And I have alot of Olight flashlights. . . . But seriously, I've had the original M2R Warrior for 4 ish years and I still love it. I've been eyeing the new Warrior Mini lately.

Aceman1126

I have several olight products including the green warrior which I got on a flash sale when it first came out and all have been pretty good. Only downside I can mention is their on off switches can be trouble and I had to send my sr2 baton back due to a bad switch after about a year of use. To olights credit they (eventually) did replace it free with the newest version. All in all olight is great for EDC lights but I still only really trust surefire and to a lesser extent streamlight for weapons lights.

Todd

Having trouble viewing. Same error as Cross video.

Trustful Marksman

I mounted a olight s2r baton 2 on my ar with a Mischief Machine polymer light mount. Real light weight set up. Check out Mischief Machine if you haven't heard of them. They have a couple options for mounting different edc lights.

The Nutnfancy Project

Weird. Are you on a phone? It's working on my iPhone. I'll put link at top, just click on that.

Todd

Yeah. iPhone too. Could be my connection. Working on the edge of my cell coverage today. Carry protocol video worked fine though.

David Gaines

I love olight. It has become an addiction for better or worse. They fill so many roles. The recharge aspect is a game changer. I never have to walk around, wondering if I’m carrying a light with 35% batter left and ultimately toss out a decent battery due to fear it may quit right when I need it the most.

Roger Houghton

Bought this exact light in the limited OD green on amazon last year. Great light. Zero issues.

Brandon Rentfrow

I bought one of these a few months ago intending to mount it on my AR when it was finished being built...after some casual testing, I agree it's prob too heavy, but I also think it doesn't get as much area coverage as I'd like, despite the shallow reflector...a little more spill is what I was hoping for. Works great for keeping the dogs in sight toward the back of the yard at night (more than adequate to spotlight them at 50ish yards even on the lower power modes), and I love the huge battery, but it's prob not going on the AR now. Still a great light that I'm glad to have, but I'm going to try the new Odin Mini instead. Always enjoy your Olight reviews...I'm prob a Stage/Grade 2. 👍

Schmuckatelli

I bought 2 of these lights a few months ago on one of Olight's mega sales events. I'm experimenting with EDC'ing 2 flashlights. One is a smaller light that is more lightweight so I can clip it to a ball cap or use it for finding that ink pen that I dropped under my desk (usually my Streamlight Microstream), and the other one is a larger flashlight that I keep in a cargo pocket for those occasions when I need a brighter light. (Olight M1T Raider Plus, or M2R Warrior Pro) Plus, I just like having the redundancy in my EDC system. It makes me happy.

Andrew A

I recently got the warrior mini during a flash sale to step up from a2nd gen S10R baton. It's a great light, but I do miss the light weight and compactness of the S10R. Both, great lights. Also have a PL2 mini that I haven't taken out of the box yet, other than to check fitment to my G17. Thanks for the vid nutn!

Schmuckatelli

I have a PL-MINI 2 Valkyrie on my Glock19 and it fits great. I love the light and its simplicity for a weapons system.

Charles Steimle

Have had this light for awhile now. Love it. Two POU’s for mine. Weapon light for the go to rifle and also great for when the girls are playing in street at night. We live on dead end mostly quiet street. When a turn around car comes flying up I light them up with strobe and problem solved. Love the vids Nutn keep em coming

Matthew Sinn

I put the M2R on my KS7 for HD for now; not sure if it'll stay there or find another system. Love it so far, but I've not been disappointed with any of my OLights. Good to see it met your expectations, Nutn.

Lon N

I too have become a Olight addict.... you might have a problem if your Olight points beat 99.8 % of other customers. The Warrior mini rocks, you will like it. I am running a Warrior X Turbo on my main AR - the coyotes have learned that light coming on at 2 am means bad things are about to happen. Olights marketing campaigns are nearly impossible to ignore with those tasty discounts.

Rusty Chains

I have one in OD. it is just too big for my EDC the battery makes it a bit too thick. The Warrior mini is my EDC choice with the Baldr Pro with the green laser sits on my AR pistol. Looking at the Perun 2 for my plate carrier.

Fiord dweller

I live in the forest in Norway, and this time of year it gets dark here around 4pm. I have both the Baton Pro and the M2R (in sick camo coloration). The Baton Pro I use mostly as a light in the barn, when working, as a camp light etc. because it illuminates such a huge area, it can light up my whole garage for instance. But when going on daily hikes etc with the dog, I find I need the extra throw that the M2R has to offer. Something I do a lot when hiking is just to put it in boost mode for a few seconds to scout out some details, then toggle it back down again. I have really only two minor complaints about it. The sidebutton, which is my preferred UI, can be hard to "find" in the dark since it does not protrude from the surface, you just have to touch and try to feel the rubber, which is hard to do with gloves on. And, I used it in my workshop where I grind knives and such, I got some metal filings in the magnet, they caused all sort of troubles, making the light turn on randomly and it's extremely hard to remove. I still have some filings pop up from time to time ;)

Beau Dantin

Love mine but struggle with a specific use for it in my systems. A little big for edc for me but less capable for home security use than my Warrior X. The mini is overall the perfect combo of size and capability for me. Looking forward to that review. Great review as always.

Brandon Avery

With full press on the tail cap what lumens is it?

mm80121

The warrior is a great light. My favorite version is actually the M2T but the M2R Pro is also pretty good.

Tacticaldoodle

Nice! I was wondering if there was something like this. I feel like I should have lights on pretty much every somewhat combat oriented gun, it’s expensive to outfit everything. I wanna test how these hold up to shooting, too. I assume all their stuff will do great, like a seeker pro I’m wan’n to jimmy up. Thanks for the tip

DuginIN

I have the camo. It’s with my tactical chest rig. EDC is the Baton PRO in blue and another one in desert tan for a change of pace.

Tacticaldoodle

I have noticed that carrying a cadet in the same pocket sometimes actuates the M2r, and it seems to be more susceptible to picking up filings on the magnet. Still better than my other alternatives, makes me wish 4sevens was still around. Granted, I’ve discovered a number of funky EDC brands as of late. None of them come close to the fun value of Olights though. I wish the rest of them would compete.

EdC

Great review guys! Love this light. I have an M2R Pro in each vehicle, one on my nightstand and one by the door. I love the bezel as a backup defense tool. This is the brightest light I have. I really don't need anything brighter than this. I think you might have missed that the clip is 4 way. Great review guys. Thanks.

Wizard8

Nutn Your last statement is BS. Money-saving content, sure, you suck me in with great content filled with good info to the point as a grown-ass old man I can not refuse to open my wallet.

Lee Harrell [W5GCF]

I've got more Olights than I'm willing to admit. Thousands of dollars spent on their flash sales (the only way to buy). I give them away as gifts constantly. Love love love love. Thanks for the great video!

Derek W Tiller

i waited and got the green one. love it! keep up on the flashlight reviews!!👍🏼👍🏼

Brandon Rowe

Wait until you try the warrior mini. It's basically a s2r on steroids. I've seen alot of people complaining about them turning on and melting their clothes but I carry mine on my belt in a holster that I had made for a s2r and a multitool and the bottom is closed so I've never had that issue. I dont use the light constantly so ive been going 2 to 3 weeks between chargings

Racing Psychosis

I have a Fenix PD35 Tac, its functions are super simple 1000 lumens and fine with it taking CR123s. I'll wait for it to take a crap before I try the Warrior. It will be a while.

Dylan Trochim

Love my Olights, add this one to the Christmas list along with the seeker pro. Wife and I both carry the FDE S2R daily, have more I5Ts stashed than I can count, and run a Valkyrie and mini on my handguns. Really like my Odin as a weapon light on my 16" AR, but dang is it heavy, and doesn't look like the new Odin mini is really much lighter weight.

Loki

Been looking at these for a while, only downside of Olight is their limited edition colors go fast and flash sales sell out like crazy. I'm in Utah and have a Warrior Mini in DT NIB from the last flash sale if you want to long term loan it for review.

Andrettski

I never get tired of seeing the latest/greatest products from great companies. That's why Olight is the best they keep innovating and not just retiring to the golf course. Uh umm...do you hear that Glock?

Josh P.

I've sported the s30r baton iii for a while now, and I love it, and I was looking at the black Friday sales and I'll be dropping cash tonight @8pm when the sale starts! Happy shopping boys!!

J Ram

I apparently have not been watching enough TNP FRVs because all my EDC and "tactical" lights are Thrunites....how the heck did that happen!!?? I may need to sit down and rethink some of my life choices. LOL.

The Nutnfancy Project

I hear you brother, these are addictive. Great design, always both 1st and 2nd Cool. Thanks for the support!

Shawn Kuse

I use my Fenix PD35 for serious throw, but use Olight BALDR and mini BALDR weapons light/laser on my handguns. Use the Olight SR2 in a combo light and multi tool holster. Great review guys!!!

Anthony Schaad

Hey Nutn, I’ve been becoming an olight fan over the past several years, love the products ! My bro has the M2Warrior Pro in the flag edition... so sweet . We got several others, SR2Batons, coupled Odins which are fantastic! U mentioned the Warrior Mini, I’ve had one for a little while now and after hard use, farming, camping/hunting etc ... , it’s prob at the top of my list, I think you’ll like it quite a bit ! They got a thanksgiving sale on right now with some wicked colors, got a few more on order to through in some separate systems! Can’t wait to see your review on it !

Scout154

So update. They returned my M2R Pro from the warranty. To my surprise, they replaced it! I got a a brand new light. Olight is great. Also, I have been using the Warrior Mini in camo. Which is an awesome coloration. The mini is my favorite light by far. Its my new EDC light of choice. Confession, I have almost 20 Olights and still plan on buying more. I use the Odin weapon light on my patrol rifle, So far its been excellent as well. I plan on buying on the mini version of it for my AR Pistol

Connor Murphy

Step one is admitting you have a problem. I, Connor Murphy, am addicted to Olights. Jokes aside I love Olights so much, and same goes for the Warrior. I have the American Flag version that's got tons of 2nd cool.

Jeremy Swanson

Anyone else having playback issues? Even though I can’t watch the video, Olight has a M2R on sale right now that I ordered.

Mike R

Yeah some of the videos aren’t playing in the patreon app, go to the video description and Nutnfancy has a link there to open up the video in YouTube and you can watch it there.

Clint Allison

Oh the day my name appears in a Nutnfancy video. I feel like this is the summit of my life!!!

Todd

I'm getting a S2R II TI and will definitely use the link provided! Thanks

Devin Heald

Streamlight still has not done me wrong and they are work horses so I guess if it ain't broke don't fix it. Olight does have some cool colors though

Foghorn

I've had mine about a year and just mounted it with the Mount you showed on my AR10... looking at the Oden Mini for more throw. I have a Javelot which could be mounted but Its Waaaaaayyy too big.. But man the throw is great on it. I can see a few hundred yards clearly with it.. I bought one of the charging docks and it nice.

David Born

Any thoughts on where one can get the single loop clip for an SR2 Baton II? That extra loop pointing up when in pocket gets caught on my back pack straps and gets pulled and deformed. Have checked the olight website and the clip I want is out of stock. Thanks

Lon N

I too will confess to a ND of a cocked lightsaber in my pocket... My camo warrior mini pulled my leatherman into contact with the tailswitch while seated in my truck...sniff sniff...burn spot and melted the Mini's lens. Great Olight no questions warranty. Lesson learned.

Nancy Merrell-Robertson

I use my OLIGHT Seeker 2 Pro Blue 3200 Lumens to keep my dog safe when we make that last TT trip out into the backyard before bedtime. I don't want to shoot a coyote and I think the blinding light will help keep them away while Junior is doing is business.

Bailey leon

Just ordered one. Thanks Nutn! BTW - I am one of those kids who started watching you around age 12 and haven’t looked back! Honestly Nutn you’ve influenced me in more ways than you’ll ever know!

Tacticaldoodle

Aside from the usual amazon/ebay, the easiest way would be to just chop and grind the one you got. They may restock here and there but it’s irritating watching the site for months at a time. With a little home dickery you can get it profiled pretty close to what you want.

TenaciousAmerican

Have the M2R in FDE Love it! Got to put it through its paces on a Night Hog Hunt. Amazing!

Gary Seymour

Well, I have to say I just arranged to send my complete order back to Olight. Ordered a MR2 Pro and a Balder Pro on 11/25/2020 and I still do not have the MR2. Afer 3 weeks of promises and fake tracking numbers I had to throw my hands up. Got to be the worst customer service experience I have endured in years. Just like Nutin says call em like you see them, based on your experience. What lights I did get seemed to rock but when you give me short shipments, incorrect items, and fake tracking numbers at some point you say, shame on me.

Gary Seymour

PS happy to provide full context for anyone thats interested.

Jerome J

I ordered one, it's charging now.

Jerome J

it's going to live on my plate carrier.

Charles Wester

I bought an Olight S2R once, and it didn't even last 4,000 hours of pocket carry. Chinese junk.

duroSIG556R

aka chinesium. I have been impressed with my recently purchased Baldr Pro.

Joe Palumbo

Totally agree. Best all purpose flashlight.

Jared Shaughnessy

Loving all my Olights! They have lasted years as I EDC mine everyday.

Sean

Good on you bro. It’s really good to see generations of great people coming up in the world of TNP. It was a huge source of information and inspiration for good in my life long before ever being involved. Stay tuned for more great flashlights. It’s one of the things that hooked me in the project to begin with.

Daniel Herb

Olight's are so awesome! With all the flash deals and color variations over the Christmas Holiday's many future gifts where acquired. I carry at least one Olight with me all the time, my current favorite is the S1R in orange to match the orange TMP Protech.
