DiscontinuedOlight no longer makes this light; what dealers have left is the last of it. Its current replacement is Olight Warrior X 4.

Olight built the Warrior X Pro for long-range tactical use, with strong throw and the brand's magnetic charging tail. The Warrior X 4 has taken its place in the lineup.

What owners report

Olight Warrior X Pro/5 sources reviewed

A dedicated tactical thrower at 62,500 candela, and owners are specific about what that buys: at 50 to 80 yards the hotspot lights a deer-sized target cleanly, and at 200 yards it puts visible detail on the side of a small house. Close in, the reflector still throws enough spill to light a 16 to 20 foot circle without panning. The crenellated blue bezel makes it easy to identify, and there's a vibrating low-battery warning.

The complaints are practical. A single tailcap switch means changing hand position every time you change mode. It's too big for pocket carry and lacks a genuinely low mode for close tasks. The bezel is Loctited shut, so an emitter swap isn't possible. And the proprietary 21700 is both a lock-in and an expense — Olight charges around $28 for a spare. One oddity several owners mention: the bezel gasket glows in the dark brightly enough to be visible at 100 feet.

Consistently praised

62,500 candela — lights a deer-sized target at 50-80 yards with detail
Enough spill to be usable close in, unlike many pure throwers
Vibrating low-battery indicator
Distinctive crenellated bezel makes it easy to identify by feel and sight
Solidly built and genuinely rugged

Common complaints

Single tailcap switch — you change grip every time you change mode
Too large for pocket carry, with no genuinely low mode for close work
Bezel is Loctited shut, so the emitter can't be replaced
Proprietary 21700 cell, with spares around $28
No replacement bezel gaskets available, and the gasket glows visibly in the dark

Questions people ask

How far can it usefully reach?: Owners report identifying a deer-sized target at 50-80 yards and picking out building detail at 200 yards. That's realistic performance rather than the ANSI figure.
Can I use a standard 21700?: No — it takes Olight's proprietary cell, and spares cost around $28. That's the main long-term ownership cost to factor in.
Why does the interface get criticised?: Everything is on one tailcap switch, so you have to move your hand to change mode. On a light this size, held in a forward grip, that's genuinely awkward.
Is it an everyday carry light?: No. It's too big for a pocket and its lowest mode isn't low enough for close tasks. It's a dedicated search and long-range light.
