I don’t think this really deserves its own thread so ill put it here, I saw that weird post saying “who wants to try our new lights” and figured I might as well compare them to the Shredlights I have and see what they have to offer, here are some comparison and unboxing photos, obviously its a pretty shameless rip off of the SL-300.
I can’t provide a long-term review since I’m giving these to someone that I know who just got a board since my SL-1000 is more than enough for me. All pics are comparing it to the SL-300, both on max brightness and full charge, the mounts are almost identical. The problem with a lot of lights is the resistance to vibration, I put these in an empty hydroflask and shook it really hard for about 30sec and chucked them across my backyard a couple of times, and still worked fine, take that for what you will. The interesting part is that they both claim 300 lumens but the Owlights look about twice as bright at any distance and have way more throw.
For the price I got them, free, they are great and outperform the $130 shred lights pack and I got mounts and everything. I personally wouldn’t buy them if they are anything over $50 until the company proves itself, currently, I see no website or anything so not really able to say I trust them besides they sent me these (8 days to my door). I know shred lights have proven itself to be trustworthy and have a good reputation for customer service and that is worth a lot to me.
I’ll ask the guy I give these to give me an update in a couple of months if they are still working.
here’s the album:
