Olight SR90 Intimidator SST-90 Review

I purchased the Olight SR90 Intimidator SST-90 from FlashlightsNgear.

I got the light on a July 4, 2010 sale $62.00 discount! Free shipping! I would have never purchased the Olight SR90 Intimidator if it wasn't for the sale.

I'm glad I got the SR90! It's the brightest LED type light I own!

Sorry I don't own a HID.

The threads are very smooth.

The finish is Type III Hard Anodize Black which is excellent.

The Olight SR90 Intimidator SST-90 comes with a case.

The battery pack uses 6 18650 Lithium Rechageable Batteries with a charging socket on the back. The charging socket has a rubber cover. 4 indicator lights tell you the state of charge in the batteries. The white switch is the button you push. The inidicator lights stay on for 5 seconds.

(2). 2 indicators on: 40% -60% power remains
(3). 3 indicators on: 60% -80% power remains

Even with the discount, that's a pricey light, but as they say, you get what you pay for.

Wow, 2200 lumens from a LED. Very impressive.

Great review. I love the huge fins on the head

How many USD was that bad boy? I want one.

Quite expensive... But I think being LED makes it worth it, because there's no warm-up time. $450 here.

I got it on sale a Father's Day special for $386.96. The regular price is $449.00. There is a discount code for 10% 10% Coupon Code -> CPF2010. So with the discount it's $404.10.

Sweet Jesus! I wish I didn't want one anymore.

Just ordered a 3500LM HID flashlight instead. Hopefully it will be nice. I still want that SST-90 though. Dang it!

You should check Polarion's HIDs, they're 50W, and cost ~$2200 :na:

Whoa! Amazing light man, nice review!

At first I thought you got it fot 60 bucks

I got to play with this light a while back, it's a beast! I think the one I handled was a prototype at the time, but it looked pretty much exactly like that. Definitely drool-inducing
