Overall, I’d give it 5 stars for reliability and value."

"I use my tactical model nearly every day. It's durable and easy to operate with a clicky tail cap. I appreciate that it comes with batteries and a Surefire sticker. While it’s a bit larger for everyday carry, I prefer a light I can grip well. I toss it in my back pocket and it’s always there when I need it. Battery replacement every couple of weeks is okay for me given how often I use it."

"This light is incredibly bright and perfect for outdoor use. I wouldn’t recommend it for close-up tasks as it can bleach out what you’re looking at. It does get hot quickly but can double as a hand warmer in winter! The only downside is the battery life, which isn't as long as I hoped. Still, this light outperforms others I’ve used, making it a solid choice overall."

“I absolutely love this light and pressure switch. It's extremely bright and charging is a breeze.

I would definitely recommend this setup to fellow shooters.”

“I was initially skeptical about this light, but it has exceeded my expectations. It's really bright, and the battery life lasts forever. The magnetic charger is easy to use, taking just 30 minutes for 4 hours of light. The touch pad is comfortable and easy to install on any rail. If you're looking for a rifle light, this is hands down the best choice for the price and quality.”

“Every time I get an Olight, I'm impressed by its quality. Made from great materials, it’s super bright with a magnetic charging system that I love. The pressure switch locks on well and is simple to remove. The locking mechanism on the MLOCK is well-designed, allowing for smooth attachment and removal. This light provides the best bang for your buck!”
