Re: Olight T25-R Tac Light
I got one of these from SWATG yesterday.
An awesome little light. Seriously bright. What I really like is that it runs on penlight batteries which are a damn side cheaper that the lithium C123's.
My only gripe md217 is that its the T25 regular instead of the T25 tactical. It doesn't have a momentary-on function. For example, to use the strobe function, you have to click the tailcap on to get the light on and then give it a soft push to switch to strobe mode. I feel that this makes it a lot less practical as a tactical torch.
All things considered its a great little light for the price. How much extra would it cost to get the Tactical in instead of the Regular?

Re: Olight T25-R Tac Light
DrD,
Did SWATTIE not demo well enough ? grn1
I will order T models in the future - If you keep this one in the box I will swop it out when the T models come in (price should be the similar) or If you keep this one I will give you a dealer price on the T model and you can use the R model as the dedicated car light.
It is quite funny that the manufacturer made the operation of the T25 and T20 different - the T20 is a CR123 light and has momentary on in the "R" model. confused0083
Let me know what you prefer and I will fix it. kissass

Re: Olight T25-R Tac Light
Thanks Sir!
Like a typical male I declined the demo. "Don't worry, I'll figure it out". I've still got the packaging so I'll give it some thought. Its an awesome light tho

Re: Olight T25-R Tac Light
It would make a good Go-Bag light anyway.
2 Lights are better than one ;D especially if you leave the one in the Go-Bag or car permanently.
Take your time and let me know ;D

Two is one and one is none.
I'm quite chuffed with the rechargeable CR123s... paid for themselves quite quickly.

I agree with WRM, my rechargeable CR123s have paid for themselves a few times over already.

Re: Olight T25-R Tac Light
Thanks guys, thats useful advice. Rudes, which rechargable lithiums gave you the best performance? I'd rather not buy twice

Re: Olight T25-R Tac Light
I haven't done any tests to see which is better but I have not had problems with any of the rechargeables I have bought.
Just another caution: Some torches don't work with the rechargeable CR123 batteries. My Glock tactical light does not work with them and I think the halogen Surefire torches also don't work with them.
Maybe test before you buy.
