Good looking light but the complete lack of regulation is very annoying. The SR51 was VERY welly regulated.
:laughing:
As long as you dont shoot them down after spending its not too bad :laughing:
Would interesting to see indeed, before I buy one.Anyone have the sr51 and sr52 to compair side by side
Anyone have the sr51 and sr52 to compair side by side
is there that much difference in them as far as throw and spill
thank
tre
I still have my Olight SR50 and SR51 and now I have the SR52.
The throw is much better and brighter than the older ones.
I love everything about this light.
There is nothing to really criticize about this light so far.
USB charging is a great plus in my book.
I am not stuck with proprietary batteries so I can have a fresh set of 3 x 18650 batteries in my pocket if needed as well as being able to use 6 x CR123 batteries as well.
This light can run on one 18650 if need be although the runtime is obviously going to be short.
It is a bit heavier than the SR50 and SR51.
The beam is a nice clean white being a Cool White LED and the beam has no obvious artifacts in it.
I can't see any green or blue in the beam.
The beam is mainly aimed at throwing but the spill is very useful.
The light is a bit shorter than the other older lights by about an inch or more.
I will do some beamshots ASAP.
CHEERS
Thanks for the info
do you like your sr50 or sr51 better
i have 2 sr51's and love them but want a sr50 too
So far I have found one issue that is important to point out. I am having trouble finding the on/off button in the dark. Sometimes it is very frustrating and takes quite a few seconds to locate when first picked up in the dark. I am thinking it needs to have some glow in the dark feature or a locator LED under the button. Sure enough this button would be hard to be accidentally pressed as it is hard enough to find in the dark with it's low profile. Maybe I will make up some glue with glow particles added to place on top of the rubber button. CHEERS
I've spent a lot of quality time with lights at night where I couldn't see them, so I'll tell you how I find side switches at night: Put your thumb and forefinger around the part of the light with the switch. You should instantly be able to feel where it is and find it to activate it. I find this method a lot faster than turning the light around and feeling for the switch.
On many lights you can squeeze at the same time and turn the light on. The squeezing method is a bit harder to do on the SR52 because of the relatively low profile of the switch, but squeezing works really well with the larger SR9x series.
At the moment the indicator LED on the light goes red when the batteries are getting very low.

Hello,
I have bought a sr52 intimidator from a retailer. It was new. I did not have batteries for it. So I bought some from eBay. When I put them in the flashlight did not turn on. When I plug the cable in it does work. So I tested the batteries at a local shop and the batteries were fine , even bought different type of batteries, still did not work with them in. I need to know what I do wrong? I have tried everything nothing works
