Some US customers have reported being charged import taxes of up to 125% on flashlights (made in China). Please note this before ordering. All shipments are from Canada.

Here's by far my favorite flashlight as of 2025! If you're looking to paint with light as I demonstrate here, that's the flashlight you need!

*** NEW *** The new AX2 extension is great as usual for dimmers, but this new version has an inner thread to connect additional tools (blades, whips and fiber optic)

This is a modified (non-permanent) of the Warrior 3S which includes:
Good for:
  • Tube light-painting (yes, it fits in my tubes!)
  • Works well from the blue hour (bright enough to shoot when the background is cloudless and well exposed at f11, 2sec, iso100) to late night photography with the stars and the Milky Way (f1.8, 8sec, iso3200, one-tiny-hole dimmer)
  • Studio work
  • Avoiding flickering (smoooooth!)
  • Constant strobe
  • Equally spaced stripes (same as the Olight m1x striker, as explained here: https://youtu.be/n6Bfk5yZX7g )
  • Instant access to continuous and strobe (two buttons), as demonstrated here: https://www.instagram.com/p/DLdlnBWuPcz 
  • Precise brightness output (using the provided dimmers)
  • Light-painting blades (coming soon!)
  • Light-painting squares
  • Light-painting whips
  • Light-painting fiber optic

Important:

  • Our extension may or may not void the manufacturer's warranty! Use at your own risks
  • Use a black sharpie to disable the proximity sensor (again, at your own risks - but this is exactly how I do on mine)
