Ditto on the choice of Orange (is the new) Black, for the same reason - although I'm guessing yours is a Harley? Technically, my bike is "Mandarin Orange and Dark Graphite" but most people call it yellow and black. The yellowish parts are closest to schoolbus-yellow to my eyes though. Here's a picture of my visibility vest that I wear on cloudy/rainy days though, because it actually is Orange and Black for reference:

I'll take the Sunwayman C22C.
Thanks Doc and Elaine @ Sunwayman.

Interesting use of light with a nurse attempting to find a vein in a premature baby's hand.

Ack! That picture freaks me out! Looks like some Alien abduction type of thing at first glance, and it's hard to accept it can be human. *jitters down the spine* Oh, I guess you did say, "premature" - ewww . . . that's just TOO SMALL, and should be put back in the oven, it's not done yet.

Harley would be definitely my first choice if i could afford it. Unfortunately in my country to buy used one i have to give my 2 years salary(earning ~250$ per month), so my bike is like this one:

:D
 
Thanks, Doc - the light arrived today. So excited to get a light I'm keeping. I gave the previous one away, but this is allllllll mine.

I'll try and review it this weekend (or tonight), just waiting for it to get dark.

Preliminary view - very well built. Seems a lot more solid than the Atom AL. Nice light output from AAA (though 18650 lights have kind of left me blind to discerning these outputs).

It's so beautiful. My girlfriend named it Arrow :)

Thanks again to Doc and FourSevens. :)

Review of the Olight M22 Warrior

This should have come a long time ago and I thought I had written it, but somehow I must have written this in my dreams. So thanks Doc for reminding me.

I´ve had it for some time now and I have tried it out in a few different situations.

I think that it´s a very well built light. Very smooth edges all around, the knurling on the body feels nice and gives a good grip. The threads on both the tail cap and the head are very smooth and no issues what so ever to screw them on and off.

It comes with a good tight belt clip. But for me the belt clip is not very useful since I think the head is just a little too big to carry the light in my pocket. It´s a good thing then that it comes with a very nice holster. The light sits head down in the holster and there is a hole at the bottom of the holster so you use the light, if necessary, without removing it from the holster. The holster also has room for two spare batteries, one on each side.

Additionally in the box there is a lanyard that´s long enough if you want carry it around your neck. There are also a diffusor and a battery tube if you want to use CR123 batteries instead.

For me, as a police officer, I think that the beam is very good. The spill is wide and bright enough for me to search a building or an outside area in an urban environment. I haven´t tried it yet in the woods i.e. search for a missing person. I think that the hotspot is quite big as well, which gives you more light at a further distance, and the throw is more than acceptable.
When compared to my Klarus the Olight has a little more yellow tint in the beam. There I prefer the more whiter tint in the Klarus.

What I don’t like is the UI. I don’t think that a tactical light should have memory settings. I want my light to instantly come on in full, regardless of previous settings. However, if you lightly double click the tail cap it comes on in full from whatever position you are in, but I think that can become a problem in a stressful situation. To change the output level you loosen and then tighten the head. There are three levels, but I can´t see any significant difference between medium and high(?).

Overall I think that it´s a very good and very well built light. Sadly it doesn’t fulfill my needs for a tactical light. But it is awesome to have around the house, in the car or when I´m walking the dogs.
