Little delivery day…..again
and still the x4 to come (olight warrior that is).
So today and last day now for the holidays, a triple illumination addition to the family ….
Where to start! Maybe pics to do the talking with brief impressions
Tank! Heavy, solid awesome lantern, no other words. 21700 which can be swapped out. Left dial on and brightness , right dial colour temp warm to cool an everything in between. Simple, intuitive, awesome . The thick plastic disk had me at first
Then I realised ! Getting the battery out
So light I wondered what was in the box before opening, seriously.
Small, Compact , light, cool, neutral, warm, take your pick!
Slide up in stages for brightness levels, quite firm and positive feel. Won’t move easily by accident.
Low req pressing holding the button whilst sliding. No matter the position, level stays in moon. I rarely use that level, no issue imo holding a button and moving the slide.
Proprietary battery …..well it means more
Compact, lighter weight. If it lasts 4yrs or 10yrs, I don’t care. I have a proprietary brain and heart, some things can’t be swapped out and just put up with what you have. I know I will either be bored, lost, replaced by time battery is useless…..or dead
. Life too short to care about a 50 buck light lasting longer than me.
Decent clip retention
Nice frosted lens nice beam, nice nice nice. I like this EDC09 a lot straight away
Magnetic for that overhead work light use
I can easily recommend the EDC09 for a fun, flexible EDC light . It’s a belter
Next to my other flat lights,
EDC09, x4 and 005 pro
Olight ball thingie, candle mode and hung somewhere …..not much more to say other than its diet is AAA x3 .
Cheers ven

Im Hoping that was the issue, it has short run time of 20 mins on a medium output, so batteries defo tired . I got a blinking with the driver, be it battery level (hope so) or fault ). But being an 8yr old light, I’m hoping I can make new again like the RC40vn
for many and I get that, not as much with cheaper lights. But ones costing $100’s then fair enough. But it’s not the end of the world, resolder new cells in the pack and good for 5-10yrs again.
