I purchased an Olight SR90 Intimidator a few months ago, so here we go!
Well I know its not a laser, but many laser lovers also enjoy the subtle beauty of a bright LED flashlight too.
I bought the SR90 from a seller on Amazon, price was $375.98 shipped! I had a rather large gift card so that made it affordable, and I bit the bullet.
Shipping time: Shipping time was extremely fast! I ordered on Febuary 12th (Sunday) and had the light in my hands at 2:34pm on Febuary 15th (Wednesday). They get Five stars on shipping time for sure!
Presentation: The light came in the normal brown amazon box, but within the box was the very nicely made and solid aluminum case sealed with Olight factory labeled tape. Within the case you will find the head of the light, the battery tube with an aluminum cap to protect the threads. The charger box and cord, A hefty strap to hold the light with padded shoulder rest and "Olight" stitching, and two spare o rings! Oh, and of course the instruction book . The inside of the case is a very thick hard foam with black felt fabric on the top and normal black foam on the lid. With everything in the case, it weighs a nice 7.5lbs
The Unit: The light its self and all of its accessories look and feel like they are of the highest quality... which I'd expect from a light with a retail price of $450! When you assemble the light, its size is quite shocking. Much longer and larger than I expected. The threads are very smooth and well lubricated with massive Orings to keep the weather out! The rear of the battery tube as well as the strike bezel and lens are removable to take off the strap attachment points (which I've done) It specifies that the maximum throw is 1,000 Meters. The powers can be switched from high to low by holding the power button, or into strobe with a fast double click. The unit has a "memory" meaning it will stay on the last mode you leave it in. It can be charged from a dust-jacketed port on the rear of the battery pack, the head does not need to be attached to do so. Charge time from when the unit is dead is around 5 hours. That red ring around the lens is actually dusted with glow in the dark paint, which is proving nearly impossible to properly photograph. The battery cap has four LEDs to show what charge level you are at, the ratings are as follows:
1 LED = 20-40%
2 LEDs = 40-60%
3 LEDs = 60-80%
4 LEDs = 85-100%
Specifications:
LED: Luminus SST-90
Material: Aircraft Grade Aluminum
Anodize Type: Type III Hard Anodizeation (Is that a word? )
Output Levels: Low: 700 Lumens, High: 2,200 Lumens
Modes: Low, High, Strobe.
Run Times: Low: 9 Hours, High: 1.2 hours, Strobe: 2.4 hours
Strobe Frequency: 10Hz
Battery Pack: 6 X 18650 6.6A (Can not replace cells)
Dimensions: Length: 336mm (13.23") Bezel Diameter: 100mm (3.94")
Weight: 1580g (55.5 Oz)
Switch Type: Momentary (Programmed to turn the light on/off when released.)
Mil Spec: MIL-STD-810F
Weather Resistance: IPX-68 water and dust proof.
Over all I think it is a great light, and is surely the crown jewel of my collection. It is everything I expected it to be and more, and I would suggest it to anyone who can justify spending that much on a "toy" because lets be honest, who really needs THIS much power? (ME!)
I hope you enjoyed the review, feel free to ask any questions. Here are a few more pictures.
Thanks for your time!
