Anyone using the olight PL X yet?
Hey everyone…. I’m looking for actual user feedback on the PL X, not just the marketing specs from launch videos.
The dual-beam setup is what caught my eye: a 1200-lumen flood for close-range work and a 900-lumen spot with noticeably more throw. I also like that it charges over USB-C instead of needing a proprietary cable.
A few things I’d love feedback on from people who’ve actually used it:
Does switching between flood and spot feel intuitive in real use?
How well does the mount hold up after taking it on and off multiple times?
Is the USB-C port placement convenient or kind of awkward?
Do both beam patterns feel genuinely useful, or do you end up mostly using one mode?
Would especially like input from anyone who’s run it outdoors or during low-light training, not just first-impression/unboxing reviews. Thank you!!!
