OLIGHT Marauder 2 Rechargeable Handheld Flashlight 14,000 Lumens Ultra Bright Light with 3X Build-in Battery Pack for Home, Outdoors, Emergency Use

This flashlight is a chonky beast! Despite its diminutive form factor, it weighs in at a HEFTY 1 pound, 10 3/4 ounces. While it is very short (5 1/2" tall), it is very thick. You can see from my photo that it is about the same diameter as a typical 12-ounce energy drink can.While this makes for uncomfortable sustained carrying, it gives you an absurdly bright light that can STAY bright much longer than most others on the market. For example, it can stay in its 14,000-lumen flood mode (max output) for 10 minutes before reducing to a lower power level (power levels and durations are all thoughtfully listed in the instruction manual). I generally keep mine on power level "5" for the full 45 to 60 minutes (each way) of my daily 7-mile walk.Probably the biggest advantage I've noted while using this as opposed to all other flashlights is how much sooner and more consistently motorists notice me. I'm very careful to aim the beam away from traffic, of course, but this safety advantage alone is worth the purchase price.The included 35-watt charger is a very useful item as well. The knit lanyard, though, seems like a complete miss based on the weight of the flashlight.This flashlight gets VERY warm in maximum power mode, but doesn't get noticeably warm at anything other than the highest output setting.The ability to switch instantly between "flood" and "spot" mode with the flick of a dedicated slider switch, as well as to toggle between full power and reduced power with a double-click of the power button makes for a great user experience.

Got this for my husband and it loves it. It’s very bright and has a very long battery. I would recommend if you are looking for an emergency flashlight for in the house or even in the car. We also take it on our long hikes.

We recently moved out into the country. Our property is not lit very well, if the moon is not out there is no light at all. We bought some Nite Ize light up collars for our dogs, but it is nice to be able to light up the whole property to make sure our dogs are safe at night. This is small enough to fit into a coat pocket, though it does have some heft. I really enjoy the design and have used it everyday for the last 2 weeks. Beast of a light. Some have complained about the spotlight being a square. I don't mind it. It works very well and the throw distance on the light is insane. I love it!

This thing is the truth it's every bit of the 14,000 lumens that it promises it's also tough durable, it has a great battery life and the fact that you can just rotate the dial to adjust the brightness is super convenient you don't have to cycle through anything with the push button. I purchased one of their competitors lights not too long ago almost equal price and brightness and it burned a hole through my jacket while at work this old light Marauder does not get that hot, it's got a flood light that lights up an entire yard and I mean that's when your yard is 5 Acres it will literally turn night today you flip the switch into the long throw Spotlight mode and it sends out a smaller concentrated light at a distance that is just incredible to see. This is the type of flashlight where you will probably never purchase another one again but probably won't have to either it's rugged and will withstand lots of drops cuz I have dropped mine at least eight or nine times and it hit hard on the concrete and I was literally surprised and shocked and it still work but it hasn't missed a beat and I love it highly recommend!!

UPDATE: I returned the first light and purchased another one, and this light really is different. The switch doesn't seem so sloppy, and it stays off. It is still not consistent with the clicks on the dial, but I will certainly be keeping this one. I changed my review to 4 stars as the 1st light just seemed to be defective. Here's hoping that is not a common thing for others to experience.UPDATE: After consistent issues, I've decided to exchange it and try another one... this one must be defective. Will update regarding replacement.I wanted to love this light so badly, but the switch makes it impossible. Sometimes it doesn't turn the light on, other times the switch won't change brightness level. It even goes into strobe sometimes when I'm trying to change the brightness level. I put it to charge while it was off, and later on came back to find the flashlight was ON! (trust me, I did not leave it on). Does not inspire confidence. I expected a better switch at this price point. Its very wobbly/flimsy, and the amount of clicks to change levels is inconsistent. Also, the large plastic lens makes me super scared to scratch it. I am probably going to return it, but I don't want to. But what is the point of having a very sexy and bright light that throws well, that you cannot depend on? It's an excellent idea, but the switch seems poorly executed, in my opinion. At this point, if the switch is acting up already, it probably won't last for years as one would expect at this price... and because of this, it probably doesn't belong in my collection. Maybe I got a lemon? Maybe I'll try an exchange first.
