Olight Marauder X7 and Omni-Dok Charger - Both Awesome

[A-MAC]

The Olight X7 Marauder is a soda can sized flood type light that will knock your socks off. With brightness levels ranging from 3 to 9000 lumens, that’s right, 9000 lumens it is sure to fit your needs. The X7 comes in a very nice padded presentation box with a magnetic closure. Included are a holster and instruction sheet. All of which make a nice display if you are giving it as a gift. Three Cree XPH70 CW led emitters make this thing a light producing beast. Like other Olight offerings this light has a very floody beam with no defined hot spot. It runs off of 4 (four) 18650 cells, Olight recommends using high drain cells which they provide with the light if you buy the “kit”. The kit along with supplying batteries also gets you an Olight charger. Also, like other offerings from Olight the UI is very similar to what you already maybe used to. A simple push of the button turns the light on, pressing and holding the button cycles through the modes and a double click gives you turbo. A second double click in turbo mode gives you turbo S mode. The light functioned out of the box but I had to charge the batteries to access turbo S. Luckily Olight sent me one of their Omni-Dok chargers along with the X7 as part of the kit. Strobe is accessed through a triple click of the switch and from off holding through low activation locks the light out to prevent accidental activation. I got about three full turbo S sessions on fully charged cells before I could only access turbo. As you can see from the pictures the Omni-Dok charger was very easy to use. It will charge AA, AAA, RCR123/16340 and 18650 cells. Simply plug it in (power indicator light will come on) and easy charging indicator cues quickly relay the state of charge for the batter installed in the charger. After a cell is fully charged the charger will shut off preventing over charging and if your cell has a fault in it the charger will tell you that also.
